The RootMe room on TryHackMe is a beginner-friendly, hands-on introduction to web exploitation and Linux privilege escalation. It’s a well-structured, safe environment to practice:
Reconnaissance with Nmap & Gobuster
Getting a shell using reverse PHP web shell
Escalating privileges via SUID misconfiguration
If you hit a snag—especially during the file upload or reverse shell—double-check listener setup, try alternate file extensions, and don’t hesitate to run it in the AttackBox for smoother connectivity.
