I know it's not really a thing, but I do know that there are quite a few capable people that frequent the site and all of this is advanced enough that posting it to somewhere like r/hacking seemed pointless. What I came up with seemed really interesting to me, so I thought it could be interesting to someone else here, idk. I also didn't want to just reveal exactly what I did to not spoil the fun.

I also really wasn't looking for help on how to pentest, I think I'm pretty capable as is. The server has such an unusual firewall config though (even outside the 'all ports look open to a basic `nmap -sS`' stuff) that I thought it could be a nice learning experience for folks, or something.

That other account is an irl friend of mine.
