Today, I will be sharing a walkthrough for "Friendly" from HackMyVM. This is a beginner level machine. From this article, you can learn the mindset and different steps I approached to hack into this machine.

This is how the target machine looks like:

As we can see we have already the IP of the target….

So I can start with enumeration:

I opened my web browser to enumerate port 80.

Seem normal, nothing interesting…. I even tried to inspect the page, but nothing

After some thinking, something in my head just clicked….

I tried brute-forcing port 22 with the username Juan…

Now Ihave the password for the user juan…

Found the user flag!!
