Welcome Matsudo! This CTF challenge will test your skills in network exploration, vulnerability exploitation, password cracking, and privilege escalation. Here are your steps to success:

1. Start the Machine: Begin by running the provided virtual machine.
2. Network Scanning: Use tools like Nmap to scan the network and identify open ports and services.
3. Password Cracking: Look for weak passwords that could be exploited. Remember that in unix, usernames are more than often lowercase.
4. Privilege Escalation: Once you have initial access, escalate your privileges to gain root access.
5. Exploit Outdated Services: Identify services that are not up to date and exploit their vulnerabilities.

Completing this course on scanning may also be beneficial for this challenge.

Use your skills and creativity to uncover both flags (in /home and /root directories). Good luck and have fun!
