Visiting the webserver, we'll have a static page

Most of the commands were blacklisted, we can only read the first line of files with:

\openin\file=/etc/passwd
\read\file to\line

\closein\file

So `\write18` is restricted, we cannot use it to execute commands neither read files, we can try fuzzing for vhosts using `wfuzz ` ```bash wfuzz -c -w /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/DNS/subdomains-top1million-5000.txt -u 'http://topology.htb' -H "Host: FUZZ.topology.htb" --hh 6767 ```

This finds two more vhosts, dev and stats, stats site doesn't really have much

Dev site asks for credentials to access the site
Since the latex on the site is using inline math mode , we can try using lsinputlisting for reading local files and we need to use it with $ at the beginning and ending of the latex command

With this we can access the whole /etc/passwd file and see that the sites are being hosted in /var/www

We can read /var/www/dev/.htaccess file which shows that there's .htpasswd file

We can create a plt file with a bash reverse shell and move it in /opt/gnuplot

After few seconds we'll see our plt being executed as root and receive a connection on our listener with a root shell
