Hey guys, hope you're doing well :)
For those who are playing TryHackMe king of the hill...
These are some tips/tricks I usually do
First thing I do when I get into the machine is deleting ssh keys and put mine
To generate id_rsa & id_rsa.pub you could use ssh-keygen
Then, enter the machine using ssh -i id_rsa remote_username@remote_host
using this simple trick only you can enter the machine using ssh...
To automate putting ur username inside king.txt and make sure that there's no username except yours,u can create a simple script to do that
#!/bin/bash
while :
do
eval "echo [usernameHere] >> /root/king.txt"
eval " > /root/king.txt"
done
#this script is created in 1 min :P
or by simpler way
while [[ $(cat /root/king.txt) != "[usernameHere]" ]]; do echo "[usernamehere]" >> /root/king.txt; done
#this script is created in less than minute :P
also u can add your username automatically by putting inside /etc/crontab
* * * * * echo "[usernameHere]" >> /root/king.txt >/dev/null 2>&1
