Through the UI, see what you can view for the user, then expand your thinking…

I was able to decrypt the file, got what I need, but unable to connect trough ssh with root ?

For anyone struggling with cracking the [spoiler]
Session file, there is a pretty good script made by ItsWatchMakerr on Github, this way you dont have to run it on a windows machine like i had to
Github Page: GitHub - ItsWatchMakerr/SolarPuttyCracker: A Python tool to crack solar putty session backups

Props to the guy

Since you are already on the box, maybe don’t try to ssh as root…

Nice and easy box, kudos to the author.
The user part was really fun and enjoyable, the root was pretty straightforward but fun nonetheless.
As always if you need any hints feel free to dm me.
