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.
