Medium ☛ Proving Grounds -Nibbles (Intermediate) Linux Box -Walkthrough — A Journey to Offensive Security
In this blog post, we will explore the walkthrough of the “Nibbles” intermediate-level Linux box from the Proving Grounds. We will walk through the process of exploiting a PostgreSQL vulnerability to gain initial access on a target machine, followed by privilege escalation techniques to achieve root access. Starting with default credentials in PostgreSQL, we’ll leverage a known exploit to obtain a foothold, then uncover and utilize an SUID binary — /usr/bin/find—as our path to escalate privileges. By referencing GTFOBins, we’ll demonstrate how to use this binary to elevate permissions and ultimately gain full root control over the system.
