Any help for Foothold? Been trying for a couple of hours to no avail.
Thank you for the box MrKN16H.
Foothold/User: I hate to repeat what everyone else has said here but it really is as simple as identifying the abnormal version of something and doing a bunch of research. Once you find the door some nice people made it really easy for you. And yes I believe them to be Chinese.
Root: Read the large help file. Once you see the command you can use, make sure you keep in mind the language it is written in.
PM me fore nudges if you’d like.

Finally rooting I was blocked for the foothold because my google skill is lousy.
Root is very easy
PM for help

Easy but nice box:) Here are some hints 
-Foothold : look at http headers, maybe a vulnerable service is present ?
-Privesc : the easiest part, just look at what this tool can do.
Rooted, the foothold was the hardest part, PM for help
Happy to see a box rated as ‘Easy’ actually living up to it’s grade.
Foothold was new to me, so glad to have that in my future toolbox. Thanks!
Unable to start machine!~ everytime showing an error occurred.
Need help with root part, i think i missed something, but need help
Got root this morning. I was way overthinking it. Depending on how far you are into this fun I suggest not overthinking it. Read the docs on what you learn you can do. Memory is still fresh and in hind sight I went down rabbit holes that didn’t need going down. If you need a nudge PM.
Anybody have issues using s**? I chmod’d the file as per usual but no luck.
I tried the s** route as well and gave up pretty quickly. Found while it would be nice and stable didn’t need it.
Wow, that was easier than I anticipated. User took me 30mins but root was a little trickier. Overall
- Foothold → enumerate machine and all services running – google it!
- User → with foothold You have everything You need.
- Root → try basic privesc to find something “edgy”
Thanks’ for the box MrKN16H
Feel free to PM me for nudges!
Rooted nice little box.
Foothold/User: check everything don’t leave any stone unturned. Eventually you’ll find the crack in the system
Root: basic enumeration
Thanks for the box!

Yeah now I’m reading up on the food making process, I’ve narrowed it down, I think I’m close.
Finally gain root access !!!

Rooted!

Overall a very _very_ beginner friendly box - which I think is why the ratings are the way they are. Could the foothold have been more difficult? For sure.
## User
I got a little lost in bad habits from prior boxes. Once I reached a dead end I had to go back to the drawing board after which finding the vulnerable piece of the puzzle and your key is not hard at all.
####number one tip is to make sure to consider *all layers* of the attack surface.
## Root
Your nose should pick up a scent after some very very basic enumeration within your user shell. Either manual or automated testing will lead you to something that can be used to your advantage,
Google + documentation reading is your friend here. Think of what will benefit you the most and figure out how to (ab)use it. **Hint: a full TTY is handy here**.
Feel free to P.M. for nudges! GL :) Hi all .
I am a noob and this is my first box.
I did nmap and nikto scans, but i am unable to move forward anywhere. Any hint would be helpful.
This is really an easy machine, rooted in around 30 minutes. PM me if anyone need a nudge.
