Footprinting

We can start by doing a scan with nmap.

nmap -sS -p- MACHINE_IP

There are three open ports: 22, 80, 8081.

The websites on port 80 and 8081 seem empty.

However, if we look at the source code, we can see a comment about a login.php page.

Nothing more can be found here.

If we try to add worldwap.thm to the hosts file as described in the room details, we will be able to see a website.

echo worldwap.thm MACHINE_IP >> /etc/hosts
