Report: TryHackMe CCT2019 Challenge Analysis

1. Executive Summary

CCT2019 (Cyber Security Challenge UK 2019) is a capture-the-flag (CTF) style room on TryHackMe. It is categorized as an Easy level room, designed to test foundational penetration testing skills, including web application enumeration, directory brute-forcing, Linux privilege escalation via cron jobs, and hash cracking. The room simulates a real-world scenario where an attacker compromises a vulnerable web application to gain initial access, then escalates privileges to root.

Cryptography (crypto1): Often involves layered encryption where each step depends on the correct interpretation of the previous artifact. Strategy for Success To complete the CCT2019 room, adopt a Zero Trust mindset: tryhackme cct2019

The Result: Decoding the text gives you the key to progress deeper into the assessment. Report: TryHackMe CCT2019 Challenge Analysis 1

  • Penetration testing methodologies: Participants should have a good understanding of penetration testing methodologies, including reconnaissance, exploitation, and post-exploitation.
  • Vulnerability assessment: Participants should be able to identify potential vulnerabilities in a target system.
  • Exploitation: Participants should be able to exploit vulnerabilities to gain access to a target system.
  • Linux command-line interface: Participants should be familiar with the Linux command-line interface and be able to navigate a Linux file system.

Phase 3: Initial Foothold Attempt

The MySQL password does not directly grant SSH access. However, revisiting the web server with further enumeration reveals another hidden directory: /admin. Phase 3: Initial Foothold Attempt The MySQL password
