Step through the looking glass. A sequel to the Wonderland challenge room.

Enumeration

Let’s do nmap first and see what do we get.

There are thousands port are open within range of 9000 to 14000

Port 22

Since there are thousands of ports are open and all of these are ssh. Let's try manual first instead of doing the automation script. When we ssh to a port there is two outputs that we will get which Higher and Lower.

After some time we will know that this is mirrored. Which if the output is Lower that means you need to get a higher port. If the output is Higher that means you need to get a lower port. You can try to do it manually or you can use my script that I modified :)

./script.sh 10.10.10.10

First User (Jabberwock)

Alright! Now let’s try to ssh to that port.

ssh the real port

So to decode it you can use the link at reference which to decode the Vigenere.
