On apache2 default page there is a comment and Path of img.

Let download this imge

wget http://10.10.81.42/thm.jpg

Its not an image as i examined the first 12 bits of and converted it to a JPG format.

xxd thm.jpg | head
printf '\xff\xd8\xff\xe0\x00\x10\x4a\x46\x49\x46\x00\x01' | dd conv=notrunc of=thm.jpg bs=1

Let take look at this:

http://10.10.81.42/th1s_1s_h1dd3n

Source code i got this http://Ip/th1s_1s_h1dd3n/?secret=

Doing this manually take a long time let automate this with help of python, I already created secret.py tap here

death@esther:~$ python3 secret.py 
Enter IP:10.10.81.42
Found secret: 73

<h2>Welcome! I have been expecting you!</h2>

<p>Urgh, you got it right! But I won't tell you who I am! y2RPJ4QaPF!B</p>

</div>

Let try steghide maybe this is the passphrase,

death@esther:~$ steghide info thm.jpg
"thm.jpg":
  format: jpeg
  capacity: 1.0 KB
Try to get information about embedded data ? (y/n) y
Enter passphrase: 
  embedded file "hidden.txt":
    size: 101.0 Byte
    encrypted: rijndael-128, cbc
    compressed: yes

steghide extract -sf thm.jpg

We got hidden.txt

death@esther:~$ cat hidden.txt 
Fine you found the password! 

Here's a username 

wbxre

I didn't say I would make it easy for you!

This username looks strange to me let try to decode this

echo -n "wbxre" | tr 'A-Za-z' 'N-ZA-Mn-za-m'

this is Rot13 cypher on cyberchef

joker this is the real username.

I have tried everthing but didn't find anything after help of some resource i found the lab banner contain some information.

wget https://github.com/Esther7171/THM-Walkthroughs/blob/main/Madness/banner.jpg

death@esther:~$ steghide info banner.jpg 
"banner.jpg":

Enter passphrase: 
  embedded file "password.txt":
    size: 83.0 Byte
