🚀 Compromising a Joomla CMS Account: Privilege Escalation Walkthrough 🔒

I just completed a detailed walkthrough on exploiting a Joomla CMS account using SQL Injection, cracking password hashes, and escalating privileges via a `yum` vulnerability. Here’s a quick overview:

1. Initial Scan: Conducted a Nmap scan to identify open ports.
2. SQL Injection: Exploited a known vulnerability in Joomla 3.7.0, retrieving user information and hashed passwords.
3. Password Cracking: Cracked the password for the "Super User" account—Username: Jonah, Password: `spiderman123`.
4. Admin Access: Logged into the Joomla admin panel and uploaded a PHP reverse shell.
5. Shell Access: Triggered the reverse shell, gaining access as the “Apache” user.
6. Privilege Escalation: Explored the configuration file, obtained credentials, and switched to the user “jjameson.”
7. Gaining Root Access: Leveraged a `yum` vulnerability to create a malicious plugin, escalating privileges to root.

🚀Pwned1 Walkthrough: Root Access via FTP and Docker! 🔒

I just completed the "Pwned1" box and documented the entire process, focusing on reconnaissance, enumeration, exploitation, and privilege escalation. Here's a quick rundown:

1. Initial Scanning: Used Nmap to find open ports (21, 22, 80) and gathered info about the services running.
2. Web Enumeration: Discovered hidden directories with Gobuster, revealing clues and FTP credentials.
3. FTP Login: Retrieved the SSH private key ("id_rsa") and a note with user info.
4. SSH Access: Logged in as “Ariana” using the private key and stabilized the shell.
5. Privilege Escalation: Exploited Docker to gain root access and navigated to retrieve the flags.
