The article is a walkthrough of the Mr. Robot CTF challenge on TryHackMe, aimed at ethically hacking like the character Elliot Alderson from the TV series Mr. Robot.
It teaches readers how to scan a target IP using Nmap to identify open ports and services, and then uses Gobuster to brute-force directories on the identified web server.
Additional steps cover investigating the robots.txt file for potential paths, guessing the password for the wp-login path using Hydra, and using John the Ripper to crack a password hash found on the server.
The article provides a beginner-friendly guide to ethical hacking, using tools such as Nmap, Gobuster, Hydra, and John the Ripper to explore and exploit vulnerabilities on a simulated target machine.
