Rooted. Thanks @pizzapower for helping with a scanning tool.

My best recommendation for foothold is to set up that environment yourself. Works like a charm after that :slight_smile:

Done,
Good box, not very fun, but iā€™ve learnt a couple if interesting thingsā€¦

What payload to use for rev shell? Only touch command seems to work, nothing else is working.

DM me if youā€™re still stuck.

i stuck at the same partā€¦

You may have the right payload but it doesnā€™t work straight away as other payloads do. Thereā€™s caching involved, etc, so it might take a few more steps to actually trigger it.

The vuln can be hard to find. For what is worth, when a vulnerability has a CVE documented by NVD, itā€™ll show up after a search here: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/search - so worth a shot to see if there are potential candidates in there.
The usual 2cents:
Foothold/User: CVE has a PoC showing the way to generate a valid payload - look at the code to figure out where to use it
Root: while doing your usual check youā€™ll realize what this is about - and youā€™re a couple of commands from root

If anybody cared to set up the whole environment locally, other payloads will not work. > @Timdb said:

If anybody cared to set up the whole environment locally(like me), other payloads will not work locally. But everything works on the box. I was trying to reproduce everything locally but none other than ā€œtouchā€ seems to work. So do it directly on the box itself. Now I am trying for the root.

got some hashes canā€™t crack them thoā€¦

me too

The box is very slow tonightā€¦ ssh connection take so much time (yes Iā€™ve put a public key in it) and broken pipe occurs a lotā€¦

Spoiler Removed

For the timing issue, iā€™d recommend that you use the mobile app version with time synced there. I couldnā€™t get anything on my machine to work, even with perfect synchronization.

Just Rooted. Learnt 2fa implementation. Good box. Pm for hints. Thanks to @ruskii and @zweeden for hints.

rooted! nice one!

keep getting Error ā€œOperation not permittedā€ while writing config" after
entering the T** code. anyone have any idea ?

Itā€™s time based. Try to sync your box as close to the HTB one as possible. If not, use the mobile phone app - this worked for me.

Rooted !
My first box !
Lot of fun and rage ! I feel very stupid about the right escalationā€¦

Rooted, PM for hints.

Rooted. If you need some help, DM me.

user: very easy. search cvss and get shell
root:time is ur friend. Itā€™s very frustrating.

gl next

I know some people built their own env over using the poc, Iā€™d like to see how thatā€™s done if someone could dm me.

Having problems getting root. I found the time based thing at home but I canā€™t find anything that seems to use it. Appreciate if anyone can help!
