Nginx UI Exploit Setup

This guide outlines the steps to set up Nginx UI using Docker Compose, create a user, run an exploit, and verify the results within the Docker container.

Prerequisites

• Ensure you have Docker and Docker Compose installed on your machine.
• Familiarity with basic command-line operations.

Installing nginx via docker

1. Download the docker-compose.yml
2. Verify that your nginx.conf file has these lines. Note: in linux (Ubuntu), this file is at /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
   root@kitploit:~

        http {
            # ...
            include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
            include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
        }
   

3. Create a local directory www in your working directory. Copy its path and change the first half of line 13 in the docker compose yaml (Just the part before the :).
   root@kitploit:~

       Line 13 ~/cve_session1/nginx/www
   

4. Create your container by:
   root@kitploit:~

       docker compose up -d
   

5. Wait a couple of minutes and check if the docker image is running: You should see the nginx docker running.
