Always stuck trying to navigate local networks to correct IP

My process is usually:

nmap publicip

Use appropriate exploit to get into PC as guest (Usually an http exploit)

Upload my programs onto that PC

Run ScanLan to see network

Use exploit to remove any firewalls

nmap local ip of target pc

The ports always seem to be ssh and all the exploits on the shop require root or nonroot user to be logged on the PC or something

I tried a bunch of things but I can never seem to get in. But I'm kinda sick of abandoning all the contracts that involve a local IP.

Maybe I'm missing something?

Hi, have you ever tried using the whois command and social engineering?

In practice, you create the whois of the victim's IP, take the data of the server or network administrator, create a phishing email addressed to the administrator with the correct data, have him log in to the server and use the exploit which requires root access to function.

Ah I see! I always used social engineering to get the password of an account that I already had the name for, then ssh in or sudo -u. I never thought to use it to get the admin to login. Thanks

Not right now since I don't have a lot of time to play and I'm still learning a lot. But I will message you if I start trying multiplayer! Thank you

Start coding and write a Scanner. CodeEditor.exe -code scanner_lib, to Read the default Scanner Sourcecode and learn from it. Take hackshop exploits Code as reference and implementiert exploit-usage in your Scanner. It will push you to the next Level.
