Check some comment above: Official Bizness Discussion - #158 by csoruc153

DB might be confusing, check for some files which can contain important information. You can use grep with some expression to filter out some files afterwards you need to read some more and use cyber or decrypt it using a script.

do you need to connect to the DB or just find the file with the hash?

183

Is it normal to be getting a 500 error when exploring some of this site? Asking as I feel I’m wasting time here and it’s not part of the challenge?

184

is machine under maintenance?
i got 502 Bad Gateway

185

Set the system flag? Yes that is probably locked down, you shouldn’t set it because then other’s won’t get the right flag.

Happy new hacking season everyone.
User was easy, like basics of basics. I am kidding. It took two days for me to figure out to location of foothold and usage of PoC.
It seems root part is hardest part of this box. They made this bizness box to keep you bizzy.

I am able to get ping backs but when i try to get a reverse shell it doesnot give me anything.

193

Can you help me pls with PE

195

A 502 gateway can also be caused by the ofbiz service being stopped if someone runs the shutdown command (probably accidentally). Easiest to just reset the machine.

Can someone help me with root? Spending some days on it and still nothing about the DB :frowning:

Feel free to DM me. Try research what kind of database the vulnerable app uses and look for that specifically.
