Mission 0x06

---

🔎 Solution

After SSH'ing in as camila, the next task was to find Luna's password, which the mission states is inside a file under the muack directory:

camila@venus:~$ cat mission.txt 
################
# MISSION 0x06 #
################

## EN ##
The user luna has left her password in a file inside the muack folder. 

Listing muack shows a large tree of subdirectories:

camila@venus:~$ ls -la muack/
total 2212
drwxr-xr-x 551 root root   12288 Apr  5  2024 .
drwxr-x---   3 root camila  4096 Apr  5  2024 ..
drwxr-xr-x 152 root root    4096 Apr  5  2024 1
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    4096 Apr  5  2024 10
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    4096 Apr  5  2024 100
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    4096 Apr  5  2024 101
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    4096 Apr  5  2024 102
drwxr-xr-x   2 root root    4096 Apr  5  2024 103
...

Because the hint said the password was stored in a file, I searched for likely file contents inside the tree and found a file named muack containing the password:

camila@venus:~$ cat muack/111/111/muack
j3vkuoKQwvbhkMc

Using that credential I SSH'ed into luna:

ssh luna@venus.hackmyvm.eu -p 5000

Inside luna's account I read the flag:

luna@venus:~$ cat flagz.txt
