DC-6 VulnHub Walkthrough | Enumeration → WordPress → Privilege Escalation

[u/iamvivekz]

I recently completed the DC-6 VulnHub machine and documented the complete attack path, from initial enumeration to gaining root access.

The walkthrough covers:

• 🔎 Network and service enumeration
• 🌐 Web/WordPress enumeration
• 🧩 Identifying the attack surface
• 💻 Initial access
• ⬆️ Linux privilege escalation
• 👑 Obtaining root access
• 📝 Key lessons and methodology

I’ve written the detailed step-by-step walkthrough on Hashnode:

I also recorded the complete video walkthrough for anyone who prefers following the practical process:

I'm building a collection of CTF, VulnHub, TryHackMe and penetration-testing walkthroughs focused on documenting the methodology rather than just showing the final exploit.

Hopefully this is useful to anyone currently learning penetration testing or preparing for practical security certifications.
