Machine Synopsis

Socket is a Medium Difficulty Linux machine that features reversing a Linux/Windows desktop application to get its source code, from where an `SQL` injection in its web socket service is discovered. Dumping the database reveals a hash that once cracked yields `SSH` access to the box. Finally, a `PyInstaller` script that can be ran with elevated privileges is used to read the `root` user's private `SSH` key, leading to `root` access to the machine.
