Soulmate

HackTheBox Soulmate machine writeup — reconnaissance and enumeration walkthrough.

Soulmate

1. Setting the Stage: Reconnaissance

You arrive at the doorstep of Soulmate (10.10.11.86), a digital love factory.
Naturally, you bring your trusty nmap bouquet to impress.

1
nmap -p- -sV --min-rate 1000 -oA scans/soulmate-full 10.10.11.86

🎶 Cue dramatic love song 🎶
Results reveal:

  • 22/tcp SSH (OpenSSH 8.9p1)

  • 80/tcp HTTP (nginx 1.18.0)

  • 4369/tcp Erlang EPMD (Cupid’s creepy sidekick)

You add an alias because typing IPs on a date is rude:

1
echo "10.10.11.86 soulmate.htb" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts
