Machine Synopsis

Lock is an easy-difficulty Windows machine that involves enumerating a `Gitea` repository to find a `Personal Access Token`. This token is then used to deploy an `ASPX` web shell on the server, which provides an initial foothold. A password is then decrypted from an `mRemoteNG` configuration file, providing access to a new user account. Finally, a local privilege escalation vulnerability in the `PDF24` application is exploited to obtain a shell with `SYSTEM` privileges.
