The web server usually hosts a fake "Corp Portal." Use gobuster with multiple wordlists:
gobuster dir -u http://10.10.10.10 -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt -x php,txt,zip
Verified discovery: Look for /dev/, /notes/, or a .git/ directory. The last trial hides an SSH key in a .git cache.
Create a new file called run.py with the following contents: the last trial tryhackme verified

Then, execute the remote_run.py script:
