As the PLA Navy adjusts to its growing carrier fleet, pay attention to the officers tasked to lead.
I’m completing a CTF (my first CTF really) and have become a bit stuck. Here’s what I’ve done so far:
nmap scan identified ports 80 and 5000 are open. Browser on port 80 gives me a generic nginx landing page, on port 5000 I get a “leave me a message” page. It’s the generic “you type a message, you can see a list of sent messages” thing which I’ve seen in a few other CTFs.
The page asks for a name and a message to be left, and I found out that it does not sanitise either input. So I can enter HTML and Javascript, and was able to do the simple <script>alert('xss') </script> to verify that I can indeed do something here. But I don’t really know where to go with this next.
I’ve tried dirbuster to enumerate directories and had no luck. I’m looking for 3 flags, so far haven’t found anything and I’m reasonably sure I’m supposed to exploit this webpage to keep going as there isn’t an awful lot else available. Any suggestions, links to resources, etc. would be greatly appreciated.
