On TryHackMe you’ll learn by starting and hacking machines

Lets start your AttackBox, a web-based machine used to attack other machines you start on tasks.

  1. Click the blue

button at the top of this room; the AttackBox is what you will use to access target machines you start on tasks such as this one.

2. Start the target machine shown on this task and wait 1 minute for it to configure.

3. Copy the IP Address of the machine that you just started on this task, then on the AttackBox (right-hand side), open up Firefox (on the AttackBox) and paste the IP Address into the URL bar.

Follow the steps in this task. What is the flag text shown on the website of the machine you started on this task?

A flag is just a piece of text that’s used to verify you’ve performed a certain action. In security challenges, users are asked to find flags to prove that they’ve successfully hacked a machine

Answer

flag{connection_verified}
