Hint for HELP

Rooted. someone said there’s a privesc without using exploit, ran a couple of normal tests and 1 thorough and dont see anything interesting, probably just super tired, but still, if anyone has an ideea, dm me. also 2 interesting ports on localhost, anyone tried anything with those? thanks

Rooted. Manage to do it the low priv upload way + sync clock. I just assume the version of the app is low enough. Despite not being too important, can somebody pm me how to enum the exact version of the app ?

Hey all, rooted this box some time ago but without ever touching the 3*** port. Would someone mind going over it with me? It’s a skill I’m unfamiliar with but would love to add to my toolbox.

Thanks in advance!

anyone on the other privesc without exploit? dm me thx

lol did it on some other machine thats why it worked. so my post is still up for any privescs without exploits

i lold at myself so hard

Finally got root on this. As a newbie, user was easier than root for me b/c the service to exploit seemed pretty clear. For root, however, I was kind of directionless and expected it to be harder than it was, and ended up overlooking something basic… Once I realized it, the exploit was easy and took like 15 minutes.

Edit: for User, I saw lots of people recommending to look at the source code, but I didn’t find that helpful (I don’t know the language tbf). I think the easier path using a proxy like Burpsuite to monitor requests.

Wrong timezone was the cause of my frustration. After resolving that, everything else was basic.
TIP.
User ==> Sort out time zone.
Root ==> Do NOT overthink it. Should be one of the 1st things you check when getting any shell.
Challenge can be completed by using Kali’s Searchploit.

PS. My 1st comment. Hopefully no spoliers

Finally rooted the machine. It was quite easy after I realised most important thing is in source code. No, I am not talking of any credentials ?

Feel free to ping me for hints.

Did you tried directory brute forcing. Why don’t you look at dirsearch. It’s an amazing tool.

Pm me if you are still stuck.

thanks for the help guys!

im not being rude but it seems that you want others to hack your boxes using your fingers ? its the most basic enumeration ever, if you cant figure this one out … question mark

Guys I changed the github code accordingly, even bypassed the file upload thing, yet not finding the file in the server. Can someone please pm for a hint please?

Hi everyone. I got user yesterday, but didn’t get root before I had to move onto other things. Now… using the exact commands and files I used yesterday, I can’t get user again. Any ideas? It just keeps coming back as not finding anything.

EDIT: Never mind, I altered the py script to give more tries before giving up and I got the shell again. Root!

I am lost in the file extension bypassing
any hint for that?
I have tried with different extension and modifying the content type
but none of them work

Apart from the unauthenticated way,
I have no idea on constructing the n***.*s query

Thanks in advance

same here. i can find my jpeg file with exploit script but stuck on bypassing the file extension filter … hints will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Check the source code and exploit it will definitely help u

spent hours working on the file extension bypass, including reading source code, any nudges would be appreciated as i’m going insane

U can check the exploit for the help

Ahhh… wow I made this much harder than it should have been… pm me if you are stuck.

Hints:
User: i went unauthenticated… just make sure you read the usage and sample usage of things…

Root: Really don’t assume things… don’t think wow that’s recent there’s no way…

i went same way but not able to capture flag but got the shell

Please someone PM me “File upload is not allwoed”??? isn’t that supposed to be the way or did i miss something here?
