Hint for Waldo

can some one pm me for assistance in key formatting, feel like ive tried everything!

Got root.
Nice to learn some new (old) functionality about Linux. But the way to get to the root flag is to simple, especially compared to the effort for getting the user flag.

I’m not very good with priv esc, would someone PM me a hint? Hopefully an educational hint, thanks :slight_smile:

The traversal hint was great, gotta think about the functions…now stuck on the ‘capabilities’ of a certain program…no idea where/how to use it…

Same here. I did search on the topic but still didn’t managed to get root.txt

Rooted…

The box is quite unconvention.

Shoutout to my bros who helped me in the box @crysthoffer @Sp4rtan, couldn’t have done it without you guys.

PM or telegram me (on the same username) for help.

HI,

I found the key for the user M******. But I’m unable to login with this key, I get the error → permission denied. Is this a rabbit hole or I’m doing a mistake?

Thank you

Did it. I’m so stupid :slight_smile:

Any pointers on escaping?

Hey, I got ssh but I’m stuck at privesc, can someone point me the right direction or is available to talk about the machine?

Already escaped, found the file but I’m stuck.

Thanks,

Rooted, great box! PM for help :slight_smile:

Jeez, nuts, Got em! Shout out to Strawman: Great box,learned something new! And a shout to #m3ssI69 for the great hint. Feel free to pm me for hints, passing the goodwill.

rooted, learned something new, though it wasn`t obvious from the machine alone, or at least that’s what I feel.

Got user pretty easily. Trying for root, logged in as m****** and have been playing around with what’s available but absolutely - can anyone PM with some pointers as to what to focus on?

EDIT: Rooted. Thanks mcruz and ZaphodBB

Rooted PM for any hints.

Thanks to all that gave me hints, but didn’t give it away - valuable lesson.

■■■, I keep getting ‘invalid format’ even though I’ve tried using the formatter and removed the ‘\n’…

I got in, but I’m not sure where to start to get privesc. I used a certain script to check some information but nothing really pops out (for me atleast).

EDIT:
Managed to get in with m****** but unsure what the next step is.

Nice box, finally rooted. Never thought of this for priv esc. Not that straight forward but think “around the corner”. everything needed is already stated :wink:
Feel free to PM for nudges.

thank you all for holding my hand through that one… especially @mcruz .
Finally got root… PM me if you need help, happy to return the favor.

Finally got user. I feel so stupid sometimes.
