Summary

Investigation is a medium machine that has a web server vulnerable to command injection vulnerability. With enough enumeration, it is easy to exploit command injection. However, it only leads to a shell as www-data. Getting a user shell requires some log file analysis and common sense. Privilege escalation deals with binary analysis and code review.
