Walkthrough WebGoat Assignment Crypto Basics #8 :

1. First run the docker as requested : docker run -d webgoat/assignments:findthesecret
2. Hints is to escalate using su - , what about BF ing su ?, but we go arround the other way, what we do is escalating user in docker to root, here is what we need to do :

           a) Copy /etc/passwd which contain UID & GID from Container to localsystem.

                $ docker cp Container-ID:/etc/passwd test.passwd

           b) Check test.passwd.

                $ cat test.passwd

           c) Edit test.passwd, change webgoat UID & GID from previous 1000:1000 to 0:0.

webgoat:x:0:0::/home/webgoat:

           c) Copy edited test.passwd from localsystem to Container.

                $ docker cp test.passwd Container-ID:/etc/passwd 

           d) Access to Container.

                $ docker exec -it Container-ID /bin/bash

           e) Goto /root folder, and find the secret file (default_secret), and check it.

root@42284f82e8ff:/# cd /root/

root@42284f82e8ff:~# ls

default_secret 

root@42284f82e8ff:~# cat default_secret

ThisIsMySecretPassw0rdF0rY0u 

           f) Run decryption against  given secret to default_secret file.
