Premise

In this video walkthrough, I solved a CTF challenge designed to resemble OSCP Lab machines and The machine name is Photographer from Vulnhub.

Then we did privilege escalation through looking for SUID bit-binaries

Machine Description

This machine was developed to prepare for OSCP. It is boot2root, tested on VirtualBox (but works on VMWare) and has two flags: user.txt and proof.txt.
