First, as always, I edit the hosts file so that I don’t have to remember the IP of the room.

Then I search with Searchsploit to see if there is an exploit for Samba 3.0.20.
![](/p/hack-the-box-lame/attachments/image-20240706164439862.png)
The exploit regarding “username map script” sounds good for our project. This exploit allows us to execute code without authentication.
![](/p/hack-the-box-lame/attachments/image-20240706164612044.png)
Further down on the website, we are shown the options for Metasploit. https://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/exploit/multi/samba/usermap_script/
![](/p/hack-the-box-lame/attachments/image-20240706164651828.png)
So next I start Metasploit, select the appropriate exploit, set the parameters for the LHOST and RHOST and then execute the exploit. A shell also opened immediately.
![](/p/hack-the-box-lame/attachments/image-20240706165116920.png)
I then briefly check which user we are logged in as. We are directly on the machine as root.
![](/p/hack-the-box-lame/attachments/image-20240706165426457.png)
I then switched to the home directory and displayed all the existing home folders.
![](/p/hack-the-box-lame/attachments/image-20240706165655221.png)
I found the user flag in the user home of the user “makis”.
![](/p/hack-the-box-lame/attachments/image-20240706165703401.png)
As always, the root flag was in the root folder.
![](/p/hack-the-box-lame/attachments/image-20240706165728553.png)
And that’s it for this room.
