In our latest YouTube video, I walk you through the U.A. High School room on TryHackMe, inspired by the world of superheroes. This challenge is a great way to test and sharpen your cybersecurity skills, offering a blend of reconnaissance, web vulnerability exploitation, and privilege escalation.

Key Points Covered in the Video:

  1. Reconnaissance: We start with an Nmap scan and follow up with directory scanning to uncover hidden pages.
  2. Web Vulnerabilities: We explore hidden scripts and use fuzzing techniques to find vulnerable parameters, leading us to gain initial shell access as www-data.
  3. Privilege Escalation: We uncover secrets hidden within the system, including using steganography on images and manipulating script vulnerabilities to gain root access.

Each step is designed to enhance your understanding of real-world cybersecurity scenarios.

Want to see how it’s done? Dive into the full walkthrough in the video where I break down every step and explain the thought process behind each move. You’ll come away with practical tips and a deeper understanding of how to approach similar challenges in the future.
