Master IGNITION on Hack The Box | Kali Linux Challenge

 

I’ll walk you through Hack The Box’s Ignition box using Kali Linux. This machine is part of the Starting Point series, designed for beginners in penetration testing. These notes will reinforce what we’ve covered, focusing on some essential pentesting techniques.

• Service Discovery: We used nmap to scan for open ports and services, which revealed an nginx web server. This step introduces you to identifying services on a target machine.
• Virtual Host Resolution: The box redirects to ignition.htb, which requires editing the /etc/hosts file to resolve the domain name locally. This teaches you how to handle DNS resolution.
