you have to do something it is not possible so, the riane box up only for a few seconds and then down again
Yeah, definitely… 
Here’s the situation, at the moment:
WARNING: Failed to daemonise. This is quite common and not fatal.
Connection refused (111)
Finally
root@cache:~# id && hostname && date
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),

Foothold and user were both abominable pains because of the instability of this box.
Learned something new with both phases of root privesc though, which I appreciated.
The best hints are already out there.
Got root. Yay! I think getting the foothold was the hardest part. I ended up modifying the metasploit to do it as I could not get the other way to work.
you broke the balls, because you always reset, so it is impossible, you have to take measures in my opinion

I have the pass and salt from the table but is it normal that the former is that short?
I have the same issue. Rabbit hole maybe? I dunno what to think anymore with the portal getting turned off so often.
Phheew that was a long foothold process. I don’t know how the first bloods do it so quick, as on this one the perimeter is quite wide, many things to check.
Hmmmm found other vhost. Wondering if par**** por*** should be turned off by default? ?
or where i should go from here?
any tips?
Any Hints on foothold. I just have username and can see n**.h*** page so far. I tried the h*s in author page as vhost but didn’t found.

ah, so when it is off, it is not really intented? It can be on sometimes? oO
I don’t think it is a rabbit hole as people here got it with the metasploit module. I have’nt changed the script, I just checked what it does through Burp and applied the same for the interesting table.
EDIT: OK, after reset the portal is available… Got everything I need
Turning off the portal has no effect in getting foothold as long as you know which page to go. If you want to see the portal, although there’s nothing much to see, reset the machine. I’d suggest visiting the official wiki. Tons of information there. Remember, it’s about having fun in learning and expanding your knowledge, not how fast you can root the machine.
Cheers
rooted this yesterday DM me if you get stuck
Rooted !! very funny box, shame about the constant resets, Thanks for nudges @sk4 @Centip3d3 @zard @davihack @jiggle @limelight
I couldn’t access the portal yesterday so I decided to do it today .It is turned off today also. I reseted it a few times by now.what do I do.
I have a problem, I cant transfer files to box(this one and oouch), wget curl nc scp just stops at 33% or so. I’ve reloaded my router regenerate connection pack, plz send help:D
Hm, I got user and root flags in one go. Is that the intended way?
Fun box, I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you, @ASHacker
Finally!
root@cache:/# whoami && id

Nice job on the box! bout time we got a privesc like that, the first bit was a needle in a haystack!
