Granny Writeup
Introduction :
Granny is an easy box windows box that was released back in April 2017.
Part 1 : Initial Enumeration
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.

Part 2 : Getting User Access
As you can see we're dealing with IIS 6.0 which is an outdated version, with a ton of scripts for us to use, so let's fire up msfconsole :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 :

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. :)
