I dont think im doing the correct command for root. Im using net*** to de***** the file in ba***** but its giving me random characters that are not on a keyboard. Can someone PM me a nudge?

Yeah I figured it out and rooted im just a little slow on figuring out where I can C***** files 
Was confused in the begining, thanks @Goggstar and @atomman for the help!
root
uid=0(root)
I think I am a good hacker for a 15-year-old I like ‘hack the box’.
Root obtained - thanks to @DancinHype for the pointer on priv esc.
Overall, not an easy box to be honest. Requires some oddly specific steps which didn’t feel very discoverable compared to other easy boxes. Definitely a Medium at least.

Dont worry others recently have been saying that the difficulty seemed off. And my post right above this lol.
Got a shell, but am now drawing a blank, since none of the scripts returned anything useful. Got a few passwords, but they don’t work for the desired user.
Should I hunt for more creds (though I can’t imagine where to find more), or am I on the wrong track?
Never had to deal with such systems (AFAIK), so no idea where to continue hunting.

yup, same exact situation, BUT, as our fellow @TazWake always says - try and used the loot in other services.
I’m currently trying to understand the usage of libex** with that 3*** port.
The weather isn’t getting me anywhere. r.**** seems promising but no credentials found yet. Got into the “other” website and found some info. But I am stuck at the moment. Am I going in the right direction? First time trying an active box and it is challenging.
Funny thing about the weather - we always like to complain about it, especially when what we expect is wrong.
Servers, like us Brits, are alike in this.
Got root! It was very interesting experience, especially with privilege escalation, it seems pretty straightforward now, but you have to use some os specific commands
A bit CTFy. My 2cents:
Foothold: play around with that parameter
User: enum and pay attention to how the app is run, but it still won’t make much sense at the end
Root: a bit of further enum and a couple of OS-specific tools and you’re done
Also, I see there is yet another discussion about the difficulty. It’s always going to be subjective. I stopped paying attention to that a while ago.
rooted, nice box.
was stuck for a few hours because of ‘~’.
thanks @polarbearer
and thanks @trab3nd0 for his help also.
stuck on foothold, hmmm. I love these cryptic ones with not much info to go on
Nice to see a little variety in the OS types on htb.
hints:
Foothold: parameter needs some closure to move on
User: do some local authorized browsing
Root: more common tools you might be used to won’t work - find the safer and simpler os specific tools and you’re done
Easy box? ??
stuck on root
Anyone able to assist? I think i have found the parameter i need to change but not sure to what.

PM me.
Didn’t like this machine… User was a little tricky and not an easy one but root was easy just stay home you will find something, simply ! Pm for nudge
