🔍 Reconnaissance & Connectivity
1. Connectivity
Before starting the machine, ensure the HTB VPN connection is active.
- VPN Setup Guide: HTB VPN Setup Guide
2. Target Identification
Obtained the target IP from the HTB Dashboard.
-
Target IP: 10.129.80.36

-
Ping Test: Checked connectivity to the target.

3. Port Scanning
I used nmap and rustscan to identify open ports.
-
Initial Nmap Scan: Identifying open ports (None found in top 1000).

-
Rustscan: Fast scan for all 65535 ports.
rustscan -a 10.129.80.36Findings: Port 6379 is open.

- Service & Script Scan:
nmap -sC -sV -p 6379 10.129.80.36Results Summary:
| Port | Service | Version |
|---|---|---|
| 6379/tcp | Redis | Redis key-value store 5.0.7 |
