Web CTF Boot to Root

Welcome to the Web CTF Boot to Root challenge hosted on Docker. This repository contains a simple CTF challenge that is designed to test basic web security skills. The challenge includes a website hosted on port 80 with a very easy task to get you started.Created By me @Vishal Waghmare instagram@realvilu

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Make sure you have Docker installed on your system. If you don't have Docker installed, follow the steps below to install it.

Install Docker

For Ubuntu or kali linux or debian any :

Automatic Setup whole HacksudoCTFv1 using auto_setup.sh file ,you dont need to do all below steps if incase any issue you can go with manual setup methods. run auto script with execute permission
```
 chmod 777 auto_setup.sh && bash auto_setup.sh
```
In case any issue not work then find proccess id of current docker and and stop it and do them again.

a) check procces of container
```
 docker ps
```
b) and then stop current container, docker stop and container
```
 docker stop (containerID here)
```
c) Again Run auto_setup.sh this is auto setup script
```
bash auto_setup.sh
```
Now do manual by Update your existing list of packages:
```
sudo apt-get update
```
Install Docker:
```
sudo apt-get install docker.io
```
Verify that Docker is installed correctly by running:
```
sudo docker --version
```

Pull the Docker Image

To download the CTF Docker image, use the following command:

docker pull hacksudov1/hacksudoctfv1

Run the Docker Container

Once the image is downloaded, run the Docker container with the following command:

docker run -d -p 8080:80 hacksudov1/hacksudoctfv1

Find container_id run following command:

docker ps

To find the IP address of the running Docker container, you can use the following command:

docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' <container_id>

Replace <container_id> with the actual container ID.

Access the Challenge

Open your web browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to access the CTF challenge.

Challenge Description

This CTF challenge is designed to be very easy, providing a good starting point for beginners in web security. The challenge consists of the following steps:

Compromise Web Admin: Gain access to the web admin by exploiting any vulnerability in the website.
Get Shell Access: Achieve shell access with www-data privileges by exploiting an OWASP Top 10 vulnerability such as Remote Code Execution (RCE).
Get Root Access: Escalate your privileges to root. Find and read the contents of the /root/root.txt file.

Steps to Complete the Challenge

Find the IP Address of the Docker Container:

docker inspect -f '{{range .NetworkSettings.Networks}}{{.IPAddress}}{{end}}' <container_id>

Access the Web Admin Interface:

Navigate to http://localhost:8080 or use the container's IP address if accessing from a different machine.
Exploit an OWASP Top 10 Vulnerability:

Identify and exploit a vulnerability in the web application to gain shell access as www-data.
Privilege Escalation:

Escalate your privileges to root and find the /root/root.txt file. Read the file to complete the challenge.
