Rooted! Fun box, and the first box I was able to root without even visiting the forum for hints.
The very last part took a bit of creativity though.
If you need a hint you’re welcome to PM me.
EDIT: After reading this thread, I apparently got root in a roundabout way, involving “some other way to write an IP”.
I’m at a loss on the root.
Got the user quickly but root has me stumped.
I know the file I need to use but I can’t see what I need to enter to escape.
Any hint over DM would be appreciated
EDIT: bit of sleep and a fresh look over and i cracked it. Good box! learnt a few things on the way to root
Rooted ! The problem here is the overthinking. Keep it simple
If anyone need a nudge just ping me
rooted.
For root, 1) basic check for your given privilege, 2) read a script, 3) try several things with the script and see the error message.
Rooted, nice box really enjoyed, thanks makers, learnt again ?
Need help con privesc, please pm a hint
Rooted!
Nice box
[root@networked]# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
PM for hints 
Just rooted the box. Took me awhile to do so.
Initial Access: I was on the right track but tried to rush it so I made a oopsie and didn’t notice my mistake for at least 1,5 hours.
User: I needed a hint on this. I hate php and can’t read it very well. My cryptonite. technique wise it’s a rather basic thing. You just need to see where you have to deploy this basic technique.
Root: Basic enum gave the vector away in seconds. After reading the source and “the other source” I just tried it and out “things” in there. Took me about 10 or 15 minutes for root.

Wow this c****_a*****.p** really has me stumped. Can I get a hint or something to reference?
Alright, finally got root! Not too hard, just try, try, try again.
I was spoiled the user flag, so if anyone would be so kind to PM me how the c****_a*****.p** worked i would really appreciate it!
wow, box is crawling at turtle speed, takes me at least 5 minutes just to change directories…wth
do we need to alter the code of C****_a*****.P**? i dont know php, but i think i understand what its doing, i just dont understand what it has to do with gettting the user flag. What am i missing??
You know it really fucking sucks coming into this room for a hint and seeing 40,000 comments all saying “iT’s So SiMpLe AnD sTrAiGhTfOrWaRd”. Why do people come in here just to be pricks?
Some of us can’t read PHP very well and get sick of looking up every single function, so it isn’t “simple and straightforward” for us.
can someone dm for root assist. certain im in right place w/ vector but not sure why getting iface errors.
Edit: nvm rooted
Can I get a nudge for user flag? I have a shell, and see the c********.*** file - don’t know what to do from here (I’ve tried too many things to mention here).
Ok when I run c****_****.p I see interesting actions that exist in the /v…/…/…/up… folder, but the names are something that is not touchable, and I am thinking I need to add my own. I HAVE NO IDEA how to go about this! Any assistance would be fabs!
Thanks All!
EDIT: USER Completed: For those having issues, TOUCH
.
Can someone give me a nudge on the privesc to user? Based on what has been said in the forum already, I’ve been looking at c****_a*****.p** and can see the frequency with which it runs, I can’t seem to modify the file however, and am not sure how to proceed.
