Netmon Writeup
Brief Description / TL;DR
Netmon was a well known HTB box almost reaching meme status due to its over simplfied user flag. In order to exploit this box we connect to the anonymous FTP server and get user.txt, we enumerate find a old password and login to the admin panel, then we use a exploit to get a admin account and run SMBMAP to find root.txt

USER FLAG
In which we find a FTP Server with anonymous FTP login enabled. If we navigate to C:\Users\Public we find user.txt
ROOT FLAG
Getting PRTG Admin Access:
Our first task it to get Access to the PRTG Admin Panel after basic enumeration we find C:/ProgramData/Paessler/PRTG Network Monitor Folder which contains 3 files of intrest if we open PRTG Configuration.old.bak we find the username and password in clear text
Username: prtgadmin Password: PrTg@dmin2018
Although the password that we found doesnt work since it was in a ‘backup’ file we try changing it to PrTg@dmin2019 and we get in
Explotation Of PRTG Access
After searching google for authenticated PRTG admin exploits we find This, When we run this script it adds a user to the administrators group with the username pentest and the password P3nT3st! now we use our credentials to run SMBMAP to enumerate the shares, and find root.txt in C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop
