Enumeration
A quick scan with dirb came back with two directories wordpress and administrator. The former runs the obvious - Word Press, the latter - CUPPA CMS
WordPress is configured to run under localhost so we need to update /etc/hosts
192.168.56.101 localhost
A quick checked of WordPress with wp-scan did not reveal anything interesting. Gut feel tells me to put that aside and move to CUPPA older versions of which, according to google, come with a LFI vulnerability.
Exploitation

Didn't take long to crack the hashes with good old trusty john
root@kali:~/Desktop/w1r3s# john --show shadow.txt

2 password hashes cracked, 1 left
root@blaksec:/media/sf_VM_Transfer/Pentesting/w1r3s# ssh w1r3s@$TANGO
