Few steps for a medium but out of the ordinary machine. It’s entertaining.

Send me a DM if u are stuck at any point. :grin:

any hints on priv esc anyone?

Rooted! Really nice machine. If you are into DevOps this will be a piece of cake.

Foothold/User: Visualize from the outside and you will see the inside.
Root: Understand what ports are running and how you can interact with them. Be aware of some rabbit holes inside!

Rooted. :cowboy_hat_face: Good box. First thought foothold and user were really piece of cake and “Easy” level pwning, but root got my head spinning, which was nicely ~“Medium” level.

Here few tips

User:

  • Enumerate ports and its services precisely.

  • Many passwords and users included in progress, be precise.

Root:

  • Look for a git repo to point you in the right direction.
