This last part of root just will not fire for me
Would you GET ahold of yourself. I should PUT you OUT of here and REPLACE you for this! You come in here with that load of bull and expect us to just hand over our secrets that easy. This all seems STAGED but i promise you the PAYmenet for such treacherous things is a LOAD of hefty banning. If youre truly unlucky youll be EXEcuted for asking such a thing.
replace is patched
Is it? i dont see any changelog info on the box. I helped a couple people earlier that i think it worked for them.
yeah I can see the write time on it when I replace; then it just gets overwritten and doesnāt fire. Resets to original time
I donāt know how it finally fired but it worked so disregard previous
Welp, Iāve hit the last wall for this machine. Iāll settle for the user.txt flag!
Thanks to @FroggieDrinks and @bsnun for all your help. Youāve assisted an aspiring keyboard smasher shine, though it was brief. That was insanely fun and my tear ducts are dryā¦
Hopefully, Iāll be able to help folks soonā¦ Adios!
Onwards and upwards, folks!
I setup the box again just now to verify that this method still works and it does. It just takes like 2-5minutes for the job to deploy for some reason. It was quicker the other day. I was confused cause everything was working but yet it seems just have to be patient on the very last step. It would be odd to patch it 3 hrs before it goes cold.
I got it instantly (when the script executes, obviously) by replacing it with a reverse shell file.
With the āabusing internal functions to gain RCEā attack path took me a couple of tries until I got a hit, with every time resetting the directory content.
Also, PowerShell seamed to break something when I tried to chain two cmdlets to overwrite files.
This is the same thing that happened to me. I had to do the last step like 20 times before it would fire. It kept getting replaced but no shell.
Why i couldnāt replace the last .exe file i tried a lot of ways and anyone worked
Did you wget
the .exe off your attack box to the victim and simply overwrite the current .exe?
how are you able to authenticate with the SMTP server to relay the email ?
Did you find a way? I am stuck at the sameā¦ been there for 12 hoursā¦
Does anyone have a hint on root? I cannot replace the file that is mentioned in the hint and I cannot do anything else reallyā¦
@FroggieDrinks gave a hint about handing over secretsā¦
Read it a couple of times and youāll get it
I truly appreciate @FroggieDrinks āhintā but itās actually a riddle in itself
When you mention handing over secrets then you are talking about a cute cat tool or maybe a syncronising tool both will not work with what I have
Handling secrets was just a way to reference this specific comment.
Grab what is in bold letters and piece it together. You will be amazed on your riddle cracking capabilities once you find what command you should use!
hmmmm, I read it like that before and didnāt quite translate it to what I am translating it to now, however if i understoof correctly, the described ways require a certain type of obidient server to be able to guide me to this path where I am supposed to find my goalsā¦ I need to find a wayā¦
There is a command in his hint that you can use.
Okay, as been discussed before in this thread, replacement does not work
