Hello mates ! FIrst time that I write here, Iāll try to be the more specific without giving spoilers in my message.
Iām currently working on the Pwnbox because Iām not at my place for the next weeks then I have not my personal device. Thatās why I need to solve this problem on the Pwnbox.
So far I have suceed to get the user flag, I also get the master password for my privesc but when I want to convert the ppk file with puttygen I get the error āPuTTY key format is too newā.
I have tried to update putty and puttygen but I get for both āunable to find the packageā.
Did some of you have or are facing the same problem ? If yes, what can I do on the Pwnbox to remediate this problem ? Or maybe Iām missing something ?
Itās so frustrating to be in front of the root door with the key to access it and being unable to use it hahaha
Hi @Tic0rv, i faced the same problem with you i believe its because the puttygen from apt is v0.74 while there is a new key format introduced in v0.75
how do you solve that?
Hi @zachia , yes youāre right it is the problem
Therefore you have two choice : update putty on pwnbox, but it can be tricky and the easy path is to use another VM (as kali for example) and just copy paste the file on it and use puttygen whose is up to date on it! No need to connect the kali VM to HTB just copy paste then use puttygen on kali and copy paste the result on your pwnbox
Hope itāll help!
Donāt hesistate to DM me back if it didnāt work
I have a problem that is not strictly related to this Box.
I canāt access the link on the page. I can view the initial web page just fine, but following that link gives me a āServer errorā.
I am trying to solve this inside my own Parrot VM. I was able to solve Boxes with my configuration (but none of the previous ones had any redirects).
I tried using a Bridged Adaptor, as well as NAT. Both have the same result.
