Got root!
It seemed to take me far longer to get a file uploaded than anything else, when it was pointed out that it was capitalisation causing it to be rejected I almost screamed!
Any way what’s done is done and now I too can do ::rootdance::
I have manged to get user.txt and read other files with the payload, but cant run any commands on the box. please help im stuck
Got user.txt and access as user, but stuck on privesc … I may have found something interesting but after 2 hours of searching about it I got nothing, must be something new. Can anyone help and DM ?
Rooted! Learnt some Spoiler Removed - Arrexel along the way 
Thanks @lokori and everyone else for the nudges
Rooted finally :D, what a good box btw.
- hint: think as the developer keeping the things simple (including auth.)
remove this, if this is a spoiler.
DM if anyone is stuck, no problem !

You cannot execute sudo in this machine. If you google the error you will see why.

via ssh i tried
Got root ! PM me for any help 
If someone would be so kind as to give a pointer towards root, it would be appreciated
So far I’ve got user, i know how to go “back in time” and I’ve read up on whats being run and the implications
Chances are I’m just over thinking this one…
what is save.p means?? rabbit hole? please PM me.
Finally got priv esc - Time machine is a perfect hint
PriEsc → for me “rename” was the hint. hope it is not spoiler
Nailed it ! - got root
Thanks to hYTORELD & strolling 33 for the hint - I was close
Do not overthink this box !
Good box! Thanks @lokori !
Lesson learned from the box is to make sure your commands do what you intended!
Got user finally! That part was nice, like the different kind of exploit than I’ve seen on a few of these. Now to start the battle for root. Thanks for all the help!
This one (especially privesc) is soo easy if you are dev
Stuck on Privesc on this one, have an idea but have a question could anyone PM me
Edit –
Nvm got Root was way over complicating things
I got the user flag without a shell.
Can you also get to the root flag without using a shell?
