ROOT me (rootme) tryhackme writeup

In this video, I walk you through two different scenarios to help you learn and practice your skills in CTF challenges. The first challenge is called "Root Me," and it's perfect for beginners. I show you how to use tools like Rustscan, Feroxbuster, and Burp Suite to automate tasks such as directory brute-forcing and testing for file uploads. We also use a PHP reverse shell to gain access to the machine and escalate privileges to root to retrieve the flag.
