this box is not stable. x** doesn’t always get triggered, user shell disconnects without any reason, b****2.e dies while trying to exploit and it wont recover so you have to reset and wait for x again… I felt like i was doing a side quest in a game.
Edit: also there is a chance that you can get an error page with my**l password visible if you are fast enough after reset.
I am stuck with getting shell. any help please DM. I got to the a**** page and try x**. sometimes I get responses and sometimes not.
Got response from the box twice this morning in a 5 minute period. Been trying with the same method since and not getting any response at all. Machine has been reset. Seemed to work for a short period yesterday evening too. Very frustrating to make progress when there is no consistency in response times.
This is the first box I solved, thank you all.
Rooted … very nice machine. Machine is stable in contrast to what others say. Yes, the exe will crash if you put in too much, and yes you will have to reboot. Big deal, it’s your own fault and then you immediately know what to do (almost real live) 
And yes it takes about a minute before the event in your X… is kicked off. Take some coffee and setup your second listner, create your msfv… e… and your smbse… in the mean time. This machine would not look out of place in the OSCP lab as a hard machine. Lot’s of fun…Well done (goed gedaan) @Gioo & @Cneeliz!

And what happens if someone left the machine with that exe crashed and you find it at that state? I will tell you what, hours of enumeration without finding anything before you finally decide to reset.
I know it is my fault to crash it but my point was it should recover.
Can someone give me a push in the right direction? on the s**** i could read the sourcecodes of all the h files in the webroot and checked the source of the b*************.
I changed what ever i (think) i can in the requests and for the love of god i can’t get it to do what i want… Am i on the right track ?

I guess it try to show possible real scenario where some app are not well designed. You can call to the company and tell them: Hey dudes, I am trying to hack you and your fucking exe is hang. please could you inform your developer to do better his job. I am an important hacker and I cannot waste time with this kind of issues 
#joke.
I also experienced this many times. Breath.
Need help on user :')
rooted in the last minute XD
Once this machine is retired, may I ask something close to spoiler?
Unfortunately the root was beyond my knowledge. I review several write up. Interesting knowledge in there. I wonder if somebody can point me to information about msfvenon and port forwarding.
thank you
by the way: Interesting machine. Very hard for me
