hey bros and brodettes,

I’m breaking my head over this machine. I was able to get user.txt fairly easy. Now I’m having issues with r00t. I know people say enumerate is the key, but I’m having issues with LinEnum.sh. Also I’ve looked in EVERY directory and cannot find any .sh files (so i haven’t found monitor.sh). I can’t use any commands like ‘locate, find, sudo, su, python, perl, echo, etc’ so I’m breaking my head trying to establish TTY. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

I’m using meterpreter for shell and upload functionality.

Okay, so I was able to get r00t. Make sure the commands you’re running are PERFECT. I was missing an argument and hence why I couldn’t establish TTY. There are a few ways to accomplish this machine though. Looking forward to the write ups.

Try playing with kernel :wink:
