I’ve been playing around with different types of payloads again, but very often the Cl***Me service crashes, and the only way I could restart it is by resetting the box. Is there any other way to do it? I couldn’t find anything

Yeah - this happens a lot because people are launching a range of exploits, some of which are against an incorrect version.
This was a tough one. the enumeration tools that I picked were being difficult and not showing me the whole picture…So, this was very frustrating…That and wine, python, and p link are the bane of my existence. I learned a whole lot of what not to do…
I’m starting now and I saw that many people went through some problems that I went through. Everything was resolved when I started working with plink -P, after changing my ssh port to 2222.
Finally got user after a handful of hours slamming my head against what I believe ended up being connection issues lol. Once the foothold was stable it was very straightforward getting to user. I don’t mean that as a brag, I’m very green to HTB compared to a lot here. I mean it more as advice for if you’re newer to HTB, definitely don’t try to overthink it. Check every page on the buff site and google anything that looks interesting.
Can someone PM be and explain why we need to use C***** or P****. I thought that when using a shell the commands are issued as if I was a local user so I don’t quite understand why I can’t interact with the exploitable service directly. I think my understanding of how commands are remotely executed must be flawed.

You dont. There are lots of other options.

The commands you issue in the shell are issued from inside that shell, yes.
so I don’t quite understand why I can’t interact with the exploitable service directly.
You can. That is certainly one option. If you find a vulnerable service and can run the exploit from the remote shell, then that is the problem solved.

If you want to send packets from a shell on your machine to a port listening internally on a remote machine, you have a networking issue to solve. You cant send packets from a terminal on your machine to a shell on the remote machine without doing something to allow this.
@TazWake Thanks Taz. As usual you’ve managed to answer all my questions. My understanding was actually correct, I was confused at the idea that there were no other options other than C*** and P*** but I see that is not actually the case.

finally rooted, the root bit was a mess because of everyone messing up the service I guess? Just went for a quick one right after a reset and it went smoothly with what I had been trying for 2 hours at that point.
My 50 cents:
user: 1 enum 2 google 3 profit?
root: hint to service was exactly where you would expect it to be. If you made user you are probably trying root right, both ‘’‘remote’‘’ and local work but as for my experience, try it after a reset.
