Now on this (cap) I got user own finally after some hours. A few more hours in and I can’t make root happen. I’ve tried LinPEAS.sh even, but I also looked at the SUID services, looked up some of them in GTFObins (all but the “snap” ones. I’m not sure if “snap” will get me to the right path, and since I don’t know anything about “snap” I didn’t look further for now).
You didn’t read the out put well enough then. You took the same steps I did.

My second box. First one was “Knife”, which I’ve done pretty easily with a little help from the forum here.Now on this (cap) I got user own finally after some hours. A few more hours in and I can’t make root happen. I’ve tried LinPEAS.sh even, but I also looked at the SUID services, looked up some of them in GTFObins (all but the “snap” ones. I’m not sure if “snap” will get me to the right path, and since I don’t know anything about “snap” I didn’t look further for now).
I’m giving up right now because for some reason, every 30 sec or so, the server seems to be down for some minutes, coming back up for some seconds and going down again … Makes it too hard currently to continue.
You did well. Don’t give up. Rest a bit and go back to it with a fresh view. You’ll see it 
you will know it when you do. Good luck.
Got user pretty easy. Working on root but going down some rabbit holes i think… Tried some things but feeling a bit lost rn on the PE. Any advice?
I got root, but not with hints from an enumeration script. I saw something fishy that I didn’t think was possible, and then replicated it. I’m still curious what configurations led to this error though. Please PM, I like to learn.
This is a really good box for beginners. I don’t think it was too easy, but just the right difficulty for someone who is getting introduced to information security. Not everyone can do the more difficult levels yet, so I think it’s a nice box for getting someone interested without being overwhelmingly difficult.
Here are my hints:
For user, I would find a tool good for reading pcap files. There’s a tool named after a fish (that has an entire week dedicated to it) that I found useful for this.
For root, I did not have to use any enumeration tools, but I did browse a few of the files and found one with a particularly interesting comment. Once you know what you can do with a certain language, you should get root fairly easily. I would read this article if you are having trouble with it.
■■■■, nice and easy one. Was stuck on the foothold part for some time but figured it out.
The box name is the real hint for everything.

rooted lol the root part is still confuse me. im glad i learn new way of getting root but at the same time kinda frustrated on how much i was depend on hints. can someone tell me how did you figure that it is possible to use p***** to spawn shell?
Machine not spawning in EU
Rooted! Easy box and thanks to @InfoSecJack for a good beginner machine.
Hints are already there on this forum. Try to analyze what you have in hand and play around a bit. You will get there eventually.
Remember, manual enumeration for root is always a good idea rather than relying only on the peas!
Feel free to PM for help.
Just rooted it. Honestly one of the more relaxed boxes and continuing the trend of easy boxes actually being easy. A great box to start beginners off on. Also fun learning a new PE method that I hadn’t seen before.
Feel free to PM me for nudges/hints.
I just got this box done. It’s honestly a very easy box. If someone is stuck anyways at some point, let me know.

im new to hacking , i though of trying this box , cant do … but when u guys said this the the easiest box in htb … i feel like im not fit for hacking…
im also feeling like that
Feeling the same, but we will make it through!
Rooted, all clues are already in the discussion…
I spend a lot of time on this machine and the solution is so easy.
User, easy to get.
Root… You need to know your Linux and some script ■■■■ to figure out what happen, but still ez when you figured out.
It took me a while to figure out the user flag. Definitely an interesting method. Now finding root had me scratching my head because I had never heard of that PE method before, but great box!
Rooted after a few hours of being a thick-skulled idiot. Thx to @hydr8 for nudge. Good beginner box. PM for help.
Finally rooted it was easy root but at first i tried to use python it gave me error and now it completes phwwww. Thank you all for the help.
Rooted.
It’s not so easy if you don’t know anything about the privesc vector but the machine’s name it’s a good hint.
Very interesting learn something new to get root.
If you are stuck with it just think on the machine’s name and study this link
