🔐 TryHackMe – Cooctus Stories Walkthrough
In this video, we dive into the Cooctus Stories box and break it down step by step. Starting with an Nmap scan to identify open ports and services, we uncover an RPC backup that reveals user credentials.
With valid access in hand, we move on to exploiting a vulnerable web application, leading to remote code execution (RCE). From there, we leverage Metasploit’s suggester module to identify a privilege escalation path — and find a shortcut that gets us instant root access ⚡
A fun and practical CTF-style machine covering enumeration, credential reuse, web exploitation, and privilege escalation techniques.
