TryHackMe Easy Peasy: A Complete Walkthrough

Video Walkthrough: Easy Peasy HackMe Machine

Introduction:
Hey there, hackers and security enthusiasts! Welcome back to our channel. In today's video, we have an exciting challenge lined up for you. We'll be diving into the "Easy Peasy" HackMe machine on TryHackMe. This machine is designed to test your skills in reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, and privilege escalation. Whether you're a beginner or looking to sharpen your hacking techniques, this video is for you. So, without further ado, let's jump right in!

Step 1: Initial Reconnaissance:
The first step is to deploy the Easy Peasy machine on TryHackMe and run an Nmap scan to identify open ports and services. This will provide us with valuable information about the machine's configuration and potential vulnerabilities.

Step 2: Hidden Directory Discovery:
With the Nmap scan results in hand, we'll use GoBuster to scan the web server for hidden directories. This is a crucial step in finding a potential entry point into the machine. We'll explore the discovered directories and keep an eye out for any vulnerabilities we can exploit.

Step 3: Initial Access:
Having identified a hidden directory with potential vulnerabilities, we'll dig deeper and analyze the contents. This might involve attempting to upload files, manipulating inputs, or exploiting misconfigurations to gain initial access to the machine.

Step 4: Cronjob Analysis:
Once we're in, it's time to examine the system for interesting cronjobs. These scheduled tasks can often be leveraged for privilege escalation. We'll explore the cronjobs running on the machine and identify any that seem vulnerable.

Step 5: Privilege Escalation:
With a vulnerable cronjob in our sights, we'll develop a plan to escalate our privileges. This could involve manipulating the cronjob itself, exploiting weak permissions, or leveraging the timing of the scheduled task to our advantage.

Conclusion:
And there you have it, folks! We've successfully navigated through the "Easy Peasy" HackMe machine, from initial reconnaissance to privilege escalation. This challenge has provided us with hands-on experience in using tools like Nmap and GoBuster, identifying vulnerabilities, and exploiting cronjobs for privilege escalation.

Remember, ethical hacking is all about learning, practicing responsibly, and improving your skills. Never use these techniques for malicious purposes, and always ensure you have proper authorization before attempting to hack any system.
