10.129.41.246

Task 1 – What is the default port for rsync?

Scanned the machine with “”nmap -A -p- 10.129.41.246”

Only port open was 873, so assumption is that is the default.

A: 873

Task 2 – How many TCP ports are open on the remote host?

Previous scan.

A: 1

Task 3 – What is the protocol version used by rsync on the remote machine? 

Previous scan.

A: 31

Task 4 – What is the most common command name on Linux to interact with rsync?

Had notes on this from before, unsurprisingly it’s just rsync

A: rsync

Task 5 – What credentials do you have to pass to rsync in order to use anonymous authentication? anonymous:anonymous, anonymous, None, rsync:rsync 

A: None

Task 6 – What is the option to only list shares and files on rsync? (No need to include the leading — characters)

I didn’t know this. As usual in my notes I keep how to get to the help menu of commands. Ran “”rsync -h”” and looked through the output.

A: list-only

Submit Flag:

With the previous knowledge I ran it on the ‘public’ directory.

I somehow needed to read or download this file so I reviewed the help command again. I couldn’t find anything through that, but it turns out I ended up having notes already. Looking back in the help menu I just missed it. This will download the file to my /kamigold directory.
