Dancing — Tier 0 — HTB Starting Point

Hello Everyone!! In this blog we are going to PWN Dancing the 3rd machine in Tier-0 Starting Point

Dancing is a Windows based machine from Hack The Box. It is a part of starting point path and its difficulty is marked as very easy.

First we need to connect to the “Starting Point” VPN and spawn the machine

The IP address is 10.129.9.31. Next, check the connection to the machine using PING.

ping -c 4 10.129.9.31

Now we will use the tool Nmap to scan the open ports and services on the IP address

As we can see SMB Service is running on port 445

Connecting to it using smbclient. Trying to connect, a password prompt appears asking for the root’s password. Trying out the password “root” worked.

Now connect to the Workshares and get the flag from the user James.P using “get flag.txt”

smbclient //10.129.9.31/Workshares

Now Finally Submit The Flag,

The Machine Has Been Pwned!!
