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…

Force conversion to UTF8 and it should work !

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.

i dont know where else to look, i got some creds in c*****.**p file, i would appreciate some help, smh

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.

Hey guys, any nudge with the X** API T**** ? Unable to change my picture… Cant get through the 403…

rooted! I’ve learnt many things with this box!

For user:

I spent several hours wondering why I didn’t see my expected output…

i found LFI and get get c*****.php mysql password of www-data and get a**.php but i don’t know how to use that password…

should i get more file from server or enumerate further…
it is my first hard machine…

thanks

edit: rooted :slight_smile: thanks for helping me @zard and others for nudge PM

stuck at the same point got a little further and can get the x*l submit page but dont know how to get through this

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.

Any nudge? PM me pls.


rooted. thanks marlasthemage


PM me if you need help.

Finally rooted, pfiouh !

MP me if you need some help :slight_smile:

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 :smile:

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.
