Hack Your First Vulnhub Virtual Machine: Backdoored Walkthrough

In this video, we will hack a virtual machine, Backdoored from VulnHub. CTF machines are used in cybersecurity labs to learn the basics of penetration testing on platforms such as TryHackMe, Hack The Box, or Offensive Security labs. Even though Backdoored is considered an easy machine, you will need knowledge of virtualization, Linux, networking, and basic HTTP protocol to follow the video. The entire OWASP Testing Guide, as well as hacking techniques and fundamental IT knowledge, will be covered on my channel. I also go in-depth into ethical hacking in my courses on Teachable: https://primeradsec-global.teachable.com/p/performing-professional-web-penetration-tests 00:00 Introduction 01:26 Preparing the environment, network checks 02:51 Scanning Backdoored with nmap 04:46 Dirbusting the web server with dirbuster 06:06 Faster dirbusting wiht wfuzz 08:16 Installing Daniel Miessler's seclists 09:01 Using the seclists wordlists with wfuzz 10:01 Wfuzz results 10:20 Foothold: first access via a netcat reverse shell 12:38 Getting the first flag: the bob user 14:43 Privilege escalation, recon with linpeas.sh #linux #hacking #vulnhub #ctf #pentesting
