Hack The Box is an online platform that hosts virtual machines that are vulnerable by design to sharpen one’s penetration testing and security skills. While Legacy is an older machine there is still a lot to learn if the exploitation phase is attempted without the use of the Metasploit framework. The vulnerability on this machine is very well known and is often used to teach beginners the basics of penetration testing.

A few weeks ago, I started the Kioptrix series of vulnerable by design virtual machines with the Kioptrix Level 1, Kioptrix Level 2, Kioptrix Level 3 and Kioptrix Level 4 challenges. In this post I focus on how I solved Kioptrix Level 5 which is, sadly the last machine in the series. If you want to try this challenge yourself it can be downloaded here.

This post is a continuation of the Kioptrix series which I started a few weeks ago with the Kioptrix Level 1, Kioptrix Level 2 and Kioptrix Level 3 vulnerable by design virtual machines. In this post I focus on how I solved the Kioptrix Level 4 challenge. If you want to try this challenge yourself it can be downloaded here.

Last week I started the often recommended Kioptrix series of vulnerable by design virtual machines with Kioptrix Level 1. This week I focus on Kioptrix Level 2, the next machine in the series. If you want to try this challenge yourself it can be downloaded here.
