Ethical-Hacking-Assignment 🕵️‍♂️🔍

Overview

This repository contains the reports for the Ethical Hacking assignment made by me and my other three colleagues. 📁

Assignment Description 📚

The Ethical Hacking assignment consists of two phases:

1. Construction and Configuration of a Vulnerable VM: The task of each group was to construct a VM with pre-built vulnerabilities that would grant the penetration tester remote access and privilege elevation to root.
2. Penetration Testing of a Randomly Assigned VM: The groups were assigned another group's VM with the task of finding its vulnerabilities, exploiting them, gaining local access, and ultimately having root privileges.

Contents

• Reports/: Two reports:
• VM_Report.pdf: This will outline in detail the configuration of the VM as well as the vulnerabilities introduced.
• Penetration_Testing_Report.pdf: A report of the penetration testing activities conducted on the assigned target VM. 📜

VM Design 🏗️

The created VM is based on Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS but intentionally introduces vulnerabilities that permit remote access and subsequent privilege escalation.

Usage Instructions 📜

To use the VM:

1. The VM can be downloaded from [https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1M4-EpXrN4JHkClAVfyBYH6qS_WBWMGFe?usp=sharing].
2. Import the VM into VirtualBox.
3. Follow the instructions described in the report and reproduce the vulnerabilities to test the attack.
