Dm me if somebody need help

can someone help me crack the user password? i keep successfully cracking it with hashcat but when i go to ssh into the machine i get permission denied

Use john with rockyou.txt wordlist, the command: john hash.txt --wordlist=<path_of_rockyou>

Rooted, pretty easy but fun machine. If anyone is stuck somewhere. feel free to send me a DM, Iā€™m happy to give a hint

It might be about cracking some H****S ā€¦

Soooā€¦ after enumeration of everything domain I had nothing. Based on hints given I could guess what would be the first step. However I could not enumerate the correct access point unless i added it to my /etc/hosts/ file. I needed to know the answer to find the answer?

There is a way to find it with common tools & a technique youā€™ll find pretty common on HTB. Message me and Iā€™ll give you more details.

If anyone is struggling with finding file needed for privilege escalation I switched the VPN connection and it worked out!

The official Devvortex Discussion thread can be found on the Hack The Box forums. Users are discussing the difficulty of the machine, with some people already having obtained root access.

I have been switched between VPN connections and file not becomes available for privilege escalation.

Does the machine fail at random times and return a 504 to you too?

It was easy, You just have to google. DM if you are stuck somewhere.

how much time does it take to crack???
it is taking me foreverā€¦ im using john btw

It shouldnā€™t take that long. I used hashcat to crack it, but John should still knock it out pretty quickly.

Feel free to DM me if you need a hand.

i know
i really donā€™t know why i reached 30 mintues
i stopped after that because there is no way it should take this long

Iā€™d DM you if I havent figured out whatā€™s wrongā€¦
