TryHackMe: Pyrat

Pyrat room is a beginner-friendly Capture The Flag (CTF) challenge focused on exploiting a vulnerable Python-based web application. The machine hosts a Python interpreter over a raw TCP connection, allowing arbitrary code execution. The challenge involves gaining a reverse shell, enumerating hidden credentials in a Git repository, escalating privileges from a web user to the main user, and finally gaining root access by analyzing an insecure custom RAT (Remote Access Tool). This room teaches skills in enumeration, reverse shell creation, Git credential leaks, and basic privilege escalation.
