## nmap
```
mkdir nmap
sudo rustscan -a 192.168.96.65 --ulimit 5000 -- -T4 -A -oA nmap/all-ports-service-scan
```
A web server is open on port 9998, also an interesting service is on port 17001.
When I open my browser, the website redirects to a log-in page.
## Exploitation
The website is running `SmarterMail` and looks like there's a Remote Code Execution vulnerability we can try.
Let's mirror this exploit to our local machine.
Edit the script, then set the `HOST` variable with the target IP address, set `LHOST` with your local machine IP address, and set `LPORT` to 80
Setup a reverse shell listener on port 80
Execute the following to run the script, `python3 49216.py` and you should received a shell with `nt authority\system` privilege
