Good old Vulnhub. It is a home of commendable virtual machines for folk to go and flex their hacky fingers. I quite enjoy doing them as a challenge is a challenge! Also by writing about them I get to stuff that knowledge further into my brain (that's how mine works) and it also gives me practice for report writing.
I really enjoyed this VM as there are several ways to exploit it. I did 2 of them and I have left the rest for a time further down the road when the exploits etc aren't as fresh in my head.

After getting nowhere with this port I moved onto the ssh port.

I had a lot of fun with this vm. I love that there are individuals and groups who are willing to take the time to compile such things. So to them I salute!!
That's enough from me for now :)
