Nineveh

This is my write-up for the machine on Hack The Box called Nineveh located at: https://app.hackthebox.com/machines/Nineveh.

I started off with a basic nmap scan:

Going to the /db folder, I see the following:

Searching for phpLiteAdmin on Exploit Database I see the following:

I tried to run hydra on the password field, and it worked:

I viewed this write-up and noticed that they were able to get the contents of /etc/passwd, by using LFI. I then followed their request and got the following:
