Hack the Blacklight: 1 (CTF Challenge)

Hello everyone. In this article we’ll be hacking a new lab Blacklight. The motto of the lab is to capture 2 flags. It is made by Carter B (downloadable from here) and after a lot of brainstorming, we are presenting before you a really efficient method to get root and capture the flags.

Steps involved:

1. Network discovery and port scan
2. Directory busting the server
3. Accessing robots.txt on the webpage
4. Capturing flag 1 from robots.txt and discovery of a new port 9072
5. Connection to port 9072 to upload a netcat reverse shell
6. Getting root access and capturing second flag

Let’s get started then.
