We test connectivity, scan, and enumerate the target website. We discover a PHP type juggling vulnerability and exploit it to gain access to the admin file uploads directory. Using this access, we upload a web shell via the upload functionality. Enumerating the system with our new tool, we find clear text credentials that grant us user-level SSH access. We then escalate to root by exploiting sudo using find. Finally, we grab the root flag.

This article guides users through completing the Archetype machine challenge on Hack The Box. We exploit vulnerabilities on a Microsoft SQL Server by enumerating SMB shares, finding clear text credentials, and using Impacket to authenticate and gain an authorized connection. We then escalate privileges and download Netcat to establish a reverse shell, grab the user flag, and eventually use Impacket's psexec tool to gain admin access and retrieve the root flag before terminating the connection.
