The machine is rated 2.5 by now, and the first 25 players succeeded somehow. After searching for more than an hour without any progress this just frustrates me.

once you identify the version of a specific service, make sure to research a bit because it could take some time to find anything.

rooted. And rated it 1 Star. Really didn’t like it and didn’t learn anything on it.

Foothold: the box is highly rated as CVE. Just because there isn’t a wordpress or something else running doesn’t mean something below can’t be vulnerable
User: it’s granted
Root: the vector should be found via about the first command you should run as user. If you’re familiar with it, good for you. If not try it and look for something that sounds very promising at first glance already.

This is a box that makes you want to improve your googling skills. I had the right idea for user but struggled for quite some time until I found what I was looking for.

Root was very obvious but I still missed the simple command that could be used in the large amount of help text.
