Kobold HTB Write Up

Welcome to another Hack the Box walkthrough. In this blog post, I have demonstrated how I owned the Kobold machine on Hack the Box. Hack The Box is a cybersecurity platform that helps you bridge knowledge gaps and prepares you for cyber security jobs.

You can also test and grow your penetration testing skills, from gathering information to reporting. If you are new to this blog, please do not forget to like, comment and subscribe to my YouTube channel and follow me on LinkedIn for more updates.

About the Machine

Kobold is an easy-level machine on Hack the Box

The first step in owning the Kobold machine like I have always done in my previous writeups is to connect my Kali Linux terminal with Hack the Box server. To establish this connection, I ran the following command in the terminal:

Once the connection between my Kali Linux terminal and Hack the Box server has been established, I started the Kobold HTB machine and I was assigned an IP address (10.129.16.17).
