I’ve just rooted this box. It’s very interesting experience.
And I want say thanks @InfoSecJack & @chivato for box.
And thanks @PrivacyMonk3y for he put my separated knowledge about XXE together and his very valuable tips
I have never noticed but looping through each line of rockyou in Python gives me issues, i have to ignore several entries, it cannot properly decode some lines…
Yeah! I Liked this new e********* t*** a lot! It was as cute as it could be!
Now I can finally do mental math in Hexadecimal.
Thank you @InfoSecJack and @chivato for this amazing learning experience.
This box was a struggle from start to finish for some reason - my brain took a vacation. But with some patient no-spoiler help I got there and went back to figure out why it was difficult. Learned some good lessons, or rather re-learned them. Glad that one is over with.
I think I’m just a little bit behind @hawksvision and @hasky re: the intial foothold…
I’ve found the site where it’s possible to force a file upload, but any PHP code that I upload there never runs. It prints HTML fine, but completely ignores any PHP.
How do I force my uploaded PHP code to be run properly please ??
EDIT: Thanks everyone, got SSH access now. Battling with the next stage now…
Hello everyone, I can S** into the machine as c***, now I am figuring a way switch to another user. I noticed the b***** file but it doesn’t work as I expected.
Hello I’m stuck trying to use the LFI… I would appreciate if anyone can private message me and point me where I can read about typical paths and and files I should enumerate.
thanks in advance!
Edited: I was enumerating the correct files but not in the correct way
For those stuck in the LFI, check the obvious files but note that filters have to be applied to get to the source of the problem.
