Simple CTF

Summary Simple CTF is the fourth machine in the Road to eJPTv2 series and the most technically varied so far. It introduces three new vectors: anonymous FTP access, SQLi exploitation with a real CVE (CVE-2019-9053) against CMS Made Simple, and privilege escalation via sudo vim. Additionally, the obtained hash is salted, requiring a custom cracking script — a differentiating skill.

Lazy Admin

Summary Lazy Admin is the sixth machine in the Road to eJPTv2 series and the most elaborate so far in terms of attack chain. There’s no single vector — you have to chain: two-layer fuzzing to find the CMS, credential extraction from an exposed MySQL backup, MD5 hash cracking, admin panel access, reverse shell upload, and an indirect privilege escalation via sudo Perl that modifies an intermediate script.
