A writeup for the room Lo-Fi on TryHackMe

Want to hear some lo-fi beats, to relax or study to? We’ve got you covered!

Climb the filesystem to find the flag!

Once we open the website, we can see a video and the possibility to switch to others.

By taking a quick look at the url, we can see that the page is loaded using a query param.

Since the description of the room also suggests path traversal, we can test for this vulnerability.

A simple injection like the one below will highlight the presence of the LFI vulnerability.

?page=../../../etc/passwd

We can use the following payload to print the flag.

?page=../../../flag.txt

I hope you enjoyed this article.

Let me know in the comments if you have any doubts or questions.

Happy hacking! 🧑‍💻
