Exploiting a WordPress Site on TryHackMe: User Enumeration, Brute Force, and Privilege Escalation to Root
In this video, I’ll take you through my experience hacking a vulnerable WordPress site on TryHackMe. I started by enumerating users on the site, discovering valid usernames that could be targeted for further attacks. Using these usernames, I performed a brute-force attack to gain access to one user’s account.
Once inside, I exploited a vulnerable plugin that allowed for Remote Code Execution (RCE), giving me initial access to the system. From here, I had shell access to the machine. To fully own it, I performed a privilege escalation to gain root access, showcasing a full end-to-end process from initial enumeration to complete system control.
If you’re interested in learning about web exploitation, user enumeration, and privilege escalation, this video breaks down each step. Watch as I walk you through the methodology, tools, and techniques used to achieve root access on this machine!
