Mongod – Hack The Box // Walkthrough & Solution // Kali Linux

Using Kali Linux, HTB’s Mongod box was a tricky one! Hack the Box throws a curve ball by adding the Mongo switch pretty() at the end of the submission string. Since I’m not a Mongo expert, it took me a while to find the command. I don’t think pretty() is a common Mongo command. Maybe I’m wrong! Mongod is part of the HTB Starting Point, Tier 0: “Learn the Basics of Penetration Testing.”
