Top secret task

Description

They must be hidden ASAP!

150pts

Task

You must protect this apache web server with authentication!

Configure basic authentication to protect the page

Use these credentials for authenticate

Username: mulder

Password: Scully-th3-b3st!

SSH Access:

Hostname: target....

Username: user

Password: Cool2Pass

Solution

The first thing I did was to make a .htpasswd file for the web page.

With the command sudo htpasswd -c /var/www/.htpasswd mulder

The program in question next asks for a password, which I set as instructed. Next I browsed to the foldercd /etc/apache2/sites-enable/ and opened the file with the editor 000-default.conf.

I then added the following text to the file between <VirtualHost *:80></VirtualHost> tags

<Directory "/var/www/html">
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "asd"
  AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
  Require valid-user
</Directory>

I then restarted the apache2 service service apache2 restart

Test logging in with your browser and if everything works, submit the task for evaluation.

Tools

  • htpasswd
  • nano
  • cd
  • service

Flag

No flag available, just set up basic authentication method.
