Finding IPMI ip Address

Duing picture Duing · Sep 30, 2016 · Viewed 25.4k times · Source

Currently I'm part of a CTF competition and I'm trying to get a flag from an IPMI server (specifically an Supermicro IPMI) to which I have to find a back-door of some kind. I have a guide for gaining back-door access, but I need the ip address of the server. The web address of the IPMI isn't preceded by an ip address like I've seen others (sorry for vagueness here but I can't provide certain info or I'll break the rules of the competition). If somebody could help me understand more about how web addresses of IPMI servers (like I said it's a Supermicro) work that would be so helpful. Participially, either getting the ip or methods that don't use it that I can use as an alternative (I have Kali installed btw).

You can enter the input method on the machine...
