TryHackMe — Intermediate Nmap writeup​

 Can you combine your great nmap skills with other tools to log in to this machine?

Intermediate Nmap

step 1

nmap -sV VM_IP


3 open ports

step 2

as last one is not standard port I have opened the web browser and IP+port and here was the plaintext username and password.

step3
trying to connect via ssh with username and pass found in previous step
and I was logged in. I have also checked directory and user

step4

my first guess was that the flag will be in flag file and I went to search for the file

find / -name flag* 2>/dev/null

result of the search returned following list and last on the list was correct one
