I’m bashing my head into a wall right now…
Got initial foothold under a*e using a popular framework. Cannot seem to connect to ml, even from the shell. Tried port forwarding and still no luck. BTW, I have the credentials to connect, but can’t seem to do so. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: NM, hahahaha… found the alternative, and much simpler, method :wink:

Hey, could you PM me the alternate method? I’ve been trying to connect to the database, but to no avail. I have the creds.

Hint: For those with trouble connecting to m***l.
There are other ways of dumping it :wink:

Foothold: The clue is in the name.
User: A little two-step and then you can get in through the frontdoor.
Root: The master of an older generation can show you the way with his teachings.

Getting the thing to actually build seemed to be the hardest part.

Just got root on this after some really stupid mistakes. Couple tips on getting root from user:

  • Lots of people struggling with environment setup - you don’t need to craft the payload yourself… you can re-use another…
  • If it doesn’t work, think about why - read and understand the error, google is your friend :slight_smile:

Can someone dm me and help fix my c***t yaml? I keep getting segmentation fault after install…

Am stuck in root. Even though I went through linpeas and other methods I haven’t found a way to go about it…maybe i just can’t see it. If anyone wants to drop a hint dm me

Use ‘-e’ option

FINALLY ROOTED THIS ONE!!! What a pain in the ■■■ :smiley:

Fun little box! Found getting user quite straight forward as it involved some staple techniques that every beginner should know, or use this as the perfect opportunity to learn if they haven’t yet.

The root user was a little trickier as I didn’t immediately work out that I’d found the right exploit, as I’d seen some closed things and discarded the idea.
After trying a little crafting of my own and running into all sorts of issues, I realised I could adapt what I found before and after a little decoding, just used what was already out there.
It didn’t work initially as I think someone else had already broken something on the box, but after a reset, the exploit worked exactly as it should.

Thanks for a fun little one

a one-liner might help

Can someone dm me? I’m stuck with the a****e user and can’t get any further.

Buffered vs unbuffered at a certain step> @AbuQasem said:

Use ‘-e’ option
Or look in to ‘unbuffered’

Okay I came upon an article that explains about something “DIRTY”. Got an exploit related to it but the system is not vulnerable to it. Do I need to change something in that? Or am I on the wrong track? Trying for root.

Has anyone had problems spawning a proper tty shell after gaining foothold? I keep getting OS error: out of pty devices. Is it due to selinux and tips to overcome it?

To root I crafted my own after struggling to figure out a better way to make it happen.
I knew there ha to be something more elegant.
I’d love to discuss with your alternate approach. Can you pm?

There are two versions of this well-known exploit, right? Try to read the second one thoroughly, everything you need as a “payload” is there :wink:

I keep getting a SC* is already installed but then when I go to run it I get
bash: sc i**t: command not found

but the blog says this is how to do it.

but does this still require snake script or am i supposed to use sc
