Machine Synopsis

Arctic is an easy Windows machine that involves straightforward exploitation with some minor challenges. The process begins by troubleshooting the web server to identify the correct exploit. Initial access can be gained either through an unauthenticated file upload in Adobe `ColdFusion`. Once a shell is obtained, privilege escalation is achieved using the MS10-059 exploit.
