Instructions

What is the first user agent of the second scanning tool used by the attacker? Submit the flag as flag{user agent string}.

Use the files from First Strike.

Solution

The first scanning tool used was NMAP, indicated by the following in access.log:

165.227.73.138 - - [27/Jul/2022:14:13:52 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 6225 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Nmap Scripting Engine; https://nmap.org/book/nse.html)"

After NMAP, we can see Nikto being used:

165.227.73.138 - - [27/Jul/2022:14:15:13 +0000] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 6262 "-" "Mozilla/5.00 (Nikto/2.1.6) (Evasions:None) (Test:Port Check)"

The user agent is:

flag{Mozilla/5.00 (Nikto/2.1.6) (Evasions:None) (Test:Port Check)}
