Phantom Track
Level 19 → Level 20
Chain Reaction
ACT III900 pts+50 first-blood bonus
Mission
Walk the full pivot chain entry → web → db → mgmt. Credentials for each hop are breadcrumb'd on the previous host (bash_history + config files). Final flag is on mgmt /root/final_flag via ops + sudo.
Why this matters in 2026
Real engagements chain multiple hops. Operators trace the credential trail, they do not brute-force it.
Mitigation era: 2026-04 · rotation policy: levels may be refreshed as CVEs are patched out of distro defaults.
