# Nmap done at Sun Jul 7 13:36:40 2019 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 269.52 seconds2 Important and vulnerable services are exposed on this server SMB and RDP, and as evident from the SMB banner the server is Windows XP. This concludes that these should be vulnerable to Eternal Blue (MS17-010) and RDP Use-after-free (MS12-020) attacks, however both failed spectacularly.

With this box I learned that nmap should also be utilised to find vulnerabilities in the boxes rather than just searchsploit, msf, or any other utility. Nmap delivers some quality results as well. Later after solving the box, I found that this fellow over here made Eternal Blue work on the box as well. [https://0xdf.gitlab.io/2019/02/21/htb-legacy.html]
