Airplane TryHackMe Room Walkthrough | MatSec Youtube

Hello, cybersecurity enthusiasts! In this blog, we’ll take a brief look at the “Airplane” room on TryHackMe. This walkthrough will guide you through the initial steps and key techniques needed to complete the challenge. For a detailed, step-by-step guide, make sure to check out my YouTube video linked below.

We begin with an Nmap scan to identify open ports and services on the target machine. Configure /etc/hosts to resolve the IP to airplane.thm:

Upon visiting airplane.thm:8000, we discovered a Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability.

By leveraging the LFI vulnerability, we used a Python script to identify the process running on port 6048. Details on the script and how it works are covered in the video.

We discovered that gdbserver was running on port 6048 and used resources from Hacktricks to exploit this service and gain access. The full exploitation process is demonstrated in the video.

After gaining initial access, we escalated our privileges by exploiting SUID misconfigurations and other techniques. The complete method is shown in the video.
