Rooted.Thx! Nice Box
Rooted finally 
took me a few hours for initial shell but the rest was a walk in the park. Enum well, however dirb did not help me , keep it simple after initial shell , burp your way to these flags like a mongo
@MrR3boot Thanks again. Initial foothold and user was most work, luckily the “mango” has default features for enum. Root was an interesting new tool.
@MrR3boot This was the most fun box I’ve done so far. I learned quite a bit! Big thanks to @sudneo for some key help
user: If you’ve got creds but are frustrated because you aren’t the user you want to be, there is more than one way to login as a user
root: I suck at privesc, so if I can get it you can. Read the posts in this thread, the path has been given multiple times
PM if you need a nudge
@MrR3boot thank you - the headaches have stopped after smacking my head of the desk! Thanks to everyone that give nudges, lesson learned remember the basics.
So Root Dance!
still stuck at the login page, few suggestions are appreciated 
For anybody having trouble finding out whats running behind the curtain: after the new way has opened up for you, return to basic enumeration, there is something to be found if you follow the path.
For the next step, Listen closely to the responses you get, it’s not as blind as you may think it is. There are a few articles out there outlining the process.
Regarding root, looked up gtfobins for the thing I thought I found, unfortunately it didn’t work. Would be glad about any pointers ! Thanks
more nudge please I got HTTP/1.1 302 Found
I had fun with this box. I went down a hole and missed the obvious with root. Once I noticed the correct path it was a matter of minutes. PM for nudges.
Managed to get the Root Flag. Great box!
And thanks again for the nudge @Pir4t3
Got user yesterday and finally pwnt root this morning.
Getting user was a lot of fun.
Loved this box!
Stop bashing this machine please, not fun anymore. This box keeps come online and within 1 minute it’s unavailable again
It is an interesting machine, when people say that Mango is a words game, it really is, but don’t try to break your head trying brute force with combinations of this word or similar things, I did it was discouraging.
The escalation is very easy, there is a very clear hint in the folder of the second user
@MrR3boot is there a kind of request limiter on the box?
Finally got logged in shell as user m**** with good help of @hlyblyhakr
Tomorrow hoping for a little more progress to own user…
The connection of this box is really wors though, keep dropping connection or is it just me?
Spoiler Removed
