Guys the fact that you are mentioning ** Spoiler Removed - Arrexel ** files etc I think it takes the fun out of it… just my opinion, I personally do not use the forums until I am almost done with a system or done with it to avoid spoilers but people need to find those fiiles by themself and actually think what they can do with them… that is half of the fun of doing this box… cheers

Effectively there are two ways to own this system… If you don’t try one thing, you’ll end up to overthinking and, hopefully, own the system with the harder way.@rek2 said:
haha this was fun, I did it using the intended way after getting a www-data user before dinner coming back and starting with the info I already had it was clear. super easy. but wondering now what exploit is the priv scAre you interested yet?
hey, I already got this one last week when I wrote this. and the priv was even easier.
about to finish Holiday now.
Yeah, I was speaking about priv esc. It’s also easy.
So happy hacking!

I agree. 
Hey guys, I am about to p0wn this system, and I think some people may be a bit lazy…there is no need to change the password for that “special” user on WP … just to add a new one…
Wp login showing authentication error what to do ??
am in a correct track??

That’s correct… but, the wp is not the only way you can access this machine 
Indeed; anyway, this machine is hard to p0wn because it’s every now and again unresponsive… I guess it’s because as some of you said before, it’s so popular … well, I could not p0wn root until recently… but hey! it’s for free!
Cheers!
Now, which one is the next to fall? Any suggestions? Guys, this is sooooo addictive…

The machine is super responsive and reliable if you’re on the VIP network.
Worth every bit of the $13 or so a month.

I’ve been pondering about becoming a VIP member myself, but I’m quite new in infosec and hacking, and I think I’m gonna stick around the free labs for a while, just in case my brain explodes or something … HAHAHAHAH

I’ll do that, thanks for the tip!
I’m on the VIP server, and blocky is becoming unresponsive every ~2 minutes. Has anyone else been experiencing it?
I’m actually sitting here with a root shell right now waiting for it to unfreeze so that I can get the flag.

Yeah, that happen because people exploit this box.
The intended way is not exploit it.
