Machine Synopsis

Explore is an easy difficulty Android machine. Network enumeration reveals a vulnerable service that is exploitable via a Metasploit module, and gives restricted read access to the machine. Further enumeration of the files, reveals the SSH credentials of a system user, allowing this way remote access to the machine. Finally, the attacker is able to forward a filtered port locally using SSH tunneling, in order to access the Android shell over the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). This eventuality allows the attacker to execute commands as the root user.
