TryHackMe Cheese CTF Full Walkthrough | Login Bypass, LFI to RCE | Complete Ethical Hacking Guide

Описание: #cybersecurity #ethicalhacking #tryhackme
Unlock the full exploitation path of TryHackMe – Cheese CTF in this in-depth, step-by-step walkthrough.
In this video, I demonstrate the complete attack chain, including reconnaissance, SQL injection login bypass, Local File Inclusion (LFI) to Remote Code Execution (RCE) using PHP filter chains, SSH key abuse, and a powerful privilege escalation to root via systemd timers.

Whether you're practicing for CTFs, improving your penetration testing skills, or preparing for real-world web exploitation, this guide covers everything you need — from enumeration to full system compromise.

⭐ What You'll Learn in This Walkthrough

1. Recon & Enumeration

Nmap scanning (ports 21, 22, 80)

Web discovery & login page enumeration

2. SQL Injection Login Bypass

Testing payloads to bypass authentication

Accessing hidden pages (users.html, messages.html)

3. LFI to RCE Exploitation

Extracting /etc/passwd

Using PHP filter chain payloads

Gaining a web shell through inclusion attacks

4. Privilege Escalation (www-data → comte)

Discovering weak SSH authorized_keys

Injecting your own SSH key

Accessing comte user & capturing the first flag

5. Privilege Escalation (comte → root)

Abusing systemctl via sudo

Editing systemd timers/services for code execution

SUID xxd → GTFOBins → Full root compromise
