Hey Guys, Any help to get root would be appreciated. This is my first box on here and I was able to enumerate and find file which led me to getting the user.txt file. Afterwards I review the process and try a few basic escalation techniques which didn’t workout. I than ran a another enumeration tool and I believe I know the exploit to get root but for some reason any variant isn’t working. Any thoughts on it, It almost annoying like a C0w that out of milk.
Guys, I need a help with root, I can’t figure out which binary with suid use, any advice ?
@giggi0x00 look deeper into those SUID’s, look for something you might be able to control within them
Awesome beginner machine. Really good for those getting used to pentesting and a little fun CTF type challenge for user
Foothold: Enumerate! You don’t need anything besides nmap and msfconsole
User: a CTF like challenge. Find the first piece of the puzzle doing basic enumeration of files and directories and then the second piece is just thinking about what you may have seen already if you visited the ports from nmap.
Root: This part is really trivial, although remember the machine is called Irked for a reason, so what is needed for doing the privesc maybe hiding in plain site, just think of the normal privesc methods (cron jobs, PATH, setuid, kernel, sudo rights) and go through them. HINT: you don’t need a kernel exploit here.
So far this is my favorite ‘beginner’ box that I’ve done.
found the .b***** file and the k code inside but no clue what to do with it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

The first line has the hint what you need to do.
Got it! thanks, a little patience goes a long way. On to root now.
Rooted
Fun box, learned a few things. Thanks to Lewis1991 for great hints.
Ok, I hit a wall. I am positive is have the binary needed for priv esc. However, I am not entirely sure what to do with it. I can run it, but the output is not that helpful.
Any PM with guidance would be much appreciated.
@bu77er0verfl0w Finally got root. Thanks alot for that general tip. @dolphoneman I would read and go back through some of the basics. If you believe you found an binary, Do some digging, you should know what to do it.
I got user flag easily, but now I am stuck on the root flag despite all the hints.
I found the v******r binary, but I don’t know how to use it.
PM me please!
Thanks
Everyone was right about root.txt. It is right in your face. Just run it and see the output. User.txt was a little harder, but focus on the stego. IppSec has a great video on this (10/10). Great job @MrAgent!
I have definitely learned a lot with this box.

PM if anyone wants some tips 
Hi there. It took me 20 minutes to get root from the start, but now I’m awared that I did something in a wrong way. The thing is that I got root without getting user, just intermediate shell. Whom can I pm to consult?
Very nice machine! I’ve learned a lot!
Getting a shell isn’t very difficult, you just have to enumerate the server very well.
After the shell getting user is simple as tricky because there is a C** part and to solve it you have to look around very well.
For the root part, I’ve followed so many rabbit hole but in the end it’s more simple that it looks.
Thanks to @PavelKCZ and @tabacci that have helped me!
If you need assistance just PM me.

Could someone find it in their heart to help me out with root? I’ve been staring at the SUID files, but cannot figure out which one to use…
EDIT:
I’ve googled all of them but could not find a way to privesc, that or i’m completely blind.Attention time
Also at this point.I know it’s staring me in the face but I’m down the rabbit hole and took the wrong coloured pill 
Conseguido, user y root¡¡¡¡
Could really use some help getting root. was able to get the local account and I am SSH’d in. but can’t seem to get local privs done properly and I don’t know what im doing wrong.
attempted to use 13853 exploit and then listen with nc but nothing comes back looked at several guides online but nada, anyone able to help a brother out, cant seem to find any way in!
Can someone PM me a hint for root? I can’t seem to see what is needed.
Thanks
