The first step in owning the Enigma 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 Enigma machine and I was assigned an IP address (10.129.20.172).

Nmap Enumeration

I started the assessment by running an Nmap service and version scan against the target to identify the exposed attack surface and gather information about the services running on the host.

The scan revealed SSH, an Nginx web server, Dovecot IMAP and POP3 mail services, RPC, and an exposed NFS service. I also noticed that the HTTP service redirected requests to enigma.htb, indicating that I would need to configure my local hosts file before continuing with web enumeration. The combination of mail services and NFS exports suggested multiple potential attack paths that I planned to investigate during the next phase of the engagement.

Host Configuration

After identifying that the web server redirected requests to enigma.htb, I configured my local system to resolve the virtual host correctly. This ensured that all future requests would be directed to the intended web application during enumeration.

I appended the target IP address and hostname to the /etc/hosts file. With the host configuration complete, I was able to access the website using the enigma.htb domain and continue with web enumeration against the correct virtual host.

I currently hold a Bachelor's degree in Information and Communication Technology from Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Nigeria and a joint European master's degree in Applied Cybersecurity (MS Cybersecurity) from Kadir Has University, Türkiye and Computer Science (MS Computer Science with a specialization in Cryptography, Security & Coding) from Saints Cyril & Methodius University in Skopje, North Macedonia. Before beginning my master's program, I worked as a cybersecurity instructor at Aptech Education, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria, where I trained and tutored undergraduate, graduates and professional in cybersecurity topics including penetration testing, digital forensics, cryptography, software development, malware analysis, reverse engineering, and security operation centers (SOC). I am interested in working on the following research topics and areas: Cryptography | Software Security & Vulnerabilities | IoT Security | Cloud Computing | Digital Forensics & Incident Response | Malware Analysis | Ethical Hacking | Reverse Engineering | Computer & Network Security | Security & Privacy | Penetration Testing | Cyber-Physical System
