HTB - Preignition

OS: Linux
Difficulty: Very Easy

When we find an open TCP port 80, it is worth enumerating the web server for hidden directories and files. These may expose useful endpoints such as /admin, login pages, configuration files, or other functionality that is not immediately visible from the main page.

One way to perform directory enumeration is with Gobuster.
'gobuster dir -u http:// -w -x '

Directory and file enumeration can reveal additional attack surface that is not linked or exposed directly from the main page.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
