🔍 Reconnaissance & Connectivity

1. Connectivity

Before starting the machine, ensure the HTB VPN connection is active.


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 10.129.80.36

Findings: Port 6379 is open.

  • Service & Script Scan:
nmap -sC -sV -p 6379 10.129.80.36

Results Summary:

PortServiceVersion
6379/tcpRedisRedis key-value store 5.0.7
