Pn Tells Nmap to skip the ping test and just scan our provided target since we know it's up (10.10.10.3).

reason Adds a column to our map results for why Nmap classified it that port. vv Verbosity is increased 2x to allow us to see what Nmap is doing during the scan. nmap -vv -reason -Pn -A -osscan-guess -version-all -p- 10.10.10.9 If you wish to scan Bastard without AutoRecon, I would recommend the below nmap scan which will achieve the same results. We’ll then go into our folder with the completed scan results and take a look at the Nmap output where we can start formulating theories for our exploitation phase. Navigate to your downloaded folder and run the python script with our target IP.

I highly recommend this tool to save time on exams and CTF exercises.

Metasploit can be used, however, this write-up demonstrates the manual method to assist with OSCP exam preparation.Īs usual, we’ll begin by running our AutoRecon reconnaissance tool by Tib3rius on Bastard. Pay the name no mind, Bastard is a retired Medium Difficulty Windows machine on Hack The Box that requires basic enumeration and privilege escalation.
