# Compte-rendu HackTheBox Help

Compte-rendu Linux HackTheBox Help couvrant le téléversement de fichiers HelpDeskZ, l’accès à un web shell et l’escalade locale de privilèges via le noyau.

## Reconnaissance

### Configuration de l'environnement de travail

Créer des répertoires pour les résultats d’analyse, le contenu découvert, les exploits et les scripts d’assistance.

```bash
mkdir {nmap,content,exploits,scripts}
```

<figure><img src="https://3840167291-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fl4EVJpcOrsgjSGsLI7p2%2Fuploads%2FaEYZvlWO5tMQvslNPN5l%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=78bafddb-63bb-49bd-9cbd-141ef7a67a7e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Vérification de la connectivité

Confirmez que la cible est joignable. Le TTL indique un hôte Linux. Définissez la cible pour les outils locaux.

```bash
ping -c 1 10.129.230.159

settarget Help 10.129.230.159
```

<figure><img src="https://3840167291-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fl4EVJpcOrsgjSGsLI7p2%2Fuploads%2FBZV8wpYPz6e41q0bkuDq%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=2dc0272d-122b-48a4-b38d-4738b6dabab6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Découverte des ports

Lancez une analyse TCP complète pour identifier les ports ouverts.

```bash
nmap -p- --open -Pn -sS -n --min-rate 5000 10.129.230.159 -oG allPorts
```

L’analyse identifie les ports `22`, `80`, et `3000`.

Lancez une analyse ciblée des services et des versions.

```bash
nmap -sCV -p22,80,3000 10.129.230.159 -oN targeted
```

Ajoutez le nom d’hôte cible à `/etc/hosts`.

```bash
nano /etc/hosts
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://hacking-notes.jord4n.pro/fr/writeups-ctf/hackthebox/linux-easy/help-hackthebox-writeup.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
