EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

7th Annual Saranac Lake Cybersecurity Conference

During the 7th Annual Saranac Lake Cybersecurity Conference, a student and I worked together to solve an easy Hack The Box challenge. The objective was to identify weaknesses in a web application and obtain the flag. The exercise demonstrated the importance of securing backup files, protecting credentials, and properly restricting access to sensitive information.

Enumeration

Our initial reconnaissance revealed that only port 80 was open, indicating a web application was likely the primary attack surface.
