Breaking into Ubuntu Server

Thanks @scottalanmiller , but I already saw those and known of them help me. XSS isn't possible when there is no website on the box. The apache service is all that is running. A DoS is nice for an attack, but it doesn't help me gain access.

What error do you get when trying to browse to it?
Could it be the site is listening only on the IP address and not listening for any particular hostname?

no error. Just a default page that says "It works!" This is the default page for this server. The web server software is running, but no content has been added yet.
I did an http vuln scan and the only file it sees is index.html which is just the default page.

There are plenty of decoys so it wouldn't surprise me.

If you only knew how many times I've seen that already today.

There is nothing extra in the index.html?
No port knocking set up for another port?

Not that I can see. I used Acunetix Web Vulnerability Scanner and it does a pretty good job of analyzing the files.

As an aside, this sounds like a really interesting test.

I find that a slot and phillips #2 are enough for most.
Occasionally I have to break out the baseball bat or crowbar but those are really more for my pleasure than anything.

Did you figures it out? You've kind of inspired me. I kind of want to go through the OSCP now.
