If anyone has an issue with the responder not working, reset the machine and it worked straight away

I reset and Im still not getting it. this box absolutely sucks. i know I have the right command for the exploit as I had to find a spoiler for it. doing exactly what they did and still not getting a connection back Iāve sent the email countless times and reset the box 3 times

Yes, same thing for me, 3 resets over 2 different vpn servers. nothing in responder
back when I did this part it took almost 12 hours for the message to come. Frustrated, I just left it listening for the night and came back next morning and it had arrived in the night.

will try
ty
have hash+cracked it.
cannot auth login on :25. donāt know what username to useā¦ nothing iāve tried works. not sure where to go from here.
edit: nevermind. auth works. stillā¦ not sure what do now?
I had to look up a guide on what to do next.
Can someone tell me where I was actually supposed to figure out the ou**ook CVE? I genuinely have no idea how anybody has figured that this will work
Edit: aaaand now iām sitting here waiting like an idiot not getting any hashes from responderā¦ great. iām resetting this thing.
I waited like 12 hours, run in he evening - didnāt work, left r running overnight, came back in the morning, hash is there. Yeah, not the best practice have the email scanned/clicked after 4-5 hours.
it did not work for me yesterday, but as I tried the exact same thing today (donāt even know why) it worked, now Iām stuck with the privesc. I think I know what to exploit, but canāt
I donāt know your situation, but Iām in the free tier so I think that having A LOT of people trying to hack the vm can bring some unexpected/unintended behavioursā¦
worked for me near-instantly after resetting the box.
i think the script used to open the emails must break sometimes.

Could someone DM me as to why the c:\important folder was crucial in getting flag? couldnāt do the last part in any other folderā¦
Thatās indeed frustrating!
how did the exploit worked for you could you please explain, I am stuck at this step
hi,
anyone knows whatās going on with the machine? since few hours Iām trying to escalate to admin group but (even after restart) this way seems to be broken.
am I missing something?
(edited: yes, I missed correct path to use my privesc file. maybe thatāll help someone. ;))
That will surely help me. i am stuck after I found the admin password
Iām not sure if it was ok but for root I didnāt need to do anything else for privesc. I just could navigate to higher privileged account and displayed root flag content.
I honestly read some writeups to see if it was ok but I saw an exploit was needed apparently. At the end it showed the same location I could access with no extra exploits at all. If someone did it in the same way could please let me know :v
The boxes that are getting called Easy these days are ridiculous. Maybe Im just that inexperienced. This box is in no way shape or form easy.
