Unix 14
This exercise is one of our challenges to help you learn more about Unix/Linux
In this challenge, you need to log in using the username pentesterlab
and the password pentesterlab
. The user root
has left a backup of the home
directory of users in a temporary directory, possibly /tmp
or /var/tmp
. Your task is to locate and extract the backup.gzip
file and search for a file named credentials.txt
which contains the password for the user victim
.
Once you have the password, use the su
command to become the user victim
by running su victim
. After successfully becoming victim
, navigate to their home directory and search for the key to complete the challenge. Don't forget to clean up and remove any files you created during the decompression process.
