Responder is a free box available at the entry level of HackTheBox. Using Kali Linux, we introduce users to NTLM, enhancing their understanding of Local File Inclusion (LFI).
NTLM, or Windows New Technology LAN Manager, is a set of security protocols developed by Microsoft. It authenticates user identities and safeguards the privacy and integrity of their activities. Fundamentally, NTLM functions as a single sign-on mechanism, using a challenge-response protocol to verify users without requiring password input.
LFI, or Local File Inclusion, is a vulnerability that enables an attacker to include files by exploiting dynamic file inclusion mechanisms in a target application. This vulnerability arises when user inputs are used without adequate validation. Consequences range from displaying file contents to more severe outcomes like:
– Executing code on the web server
– Executing client-side code, such as JavaScript, potentially leading to other attacks like cross-site scripting (XSS)
– Causing a Denial of Service (DoS)
– Disclosing sensitive information
LFI involves including files already on the server by exploiting vulnerable inclusion processes in the application. This happens, for instance, when a script receives a path to an included file as input, which is not properly sanitized, thus allowing for the injection of directory traversal characters like dot-dot-slash. Although often associated with PHP scripts, LFI is also prevalent in other technologies including JSP, ASP, and more.

For those using Parrot I had to unzip the rockyou.txt file. before I could get the Administrator password on John the ripper.
I'm stuck. After adding unika.htb to the host file, the website still wont load. I am able to ping the site with the IP and the name.
Hello! Quick question, why do we have to add the website to our root directory at 1:59? That part confused me
What do you mean when you say that you have everything activated? Like VM and Kali or are there anything else like VPN?
I copied the command
Sudo john –wordlist=usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt hash
But all it said was No password hashes loaded (see FAQ)
Please help
Nevermind, i sorted it out, praise God haha
Had the Rockyou.txt.gz
And needed to download rhe rockyou.txt only, then used that and cracked it, man that was some troubleshooting, i was stuxk in this machine for hours it feels like, had so many issues hahaha
Woohoo! Its done, ty from your tutorial brother
tried connecting to the machine using xfreerdp but it seems not to be working. Any help?
what can i do to get the hash? mine is just stuck at Listening for more events
for me the John wordlist was still not extracted for some reason, I extracted it to the desktop and then used it there and it worked great. This was on parrot
Once again, your thorough video has helped me find my extremely simple mistake that is stopping me from progressing. Do you do mentoring at all? I'm trying to get into the field and you seem like a great source of information and just a chill dude in general.
Nice…THX…😊
