I don’t get how the name of the box plays into the rooting method.
Box names can mean lots of things, it isn’t that common for them to relate to root specifically. Magic and Quick for example were both named as a hint to the initial foothold.
Sometimes it is even just the name of a website hosted on the target machine.
But yeah, on this box I am not sure what the name is related to.
Rooted yesterday. Fun box! PM for nuggets. Let me know what you tried first though 
Rooted!
PM for nudges
I got a shell and i found h***es.txt file but the content is super messed up and none of those hashes seems to be crackable… any nudges?

You might miss something.

@gunroot I figured out what I was doing wrong, now I’m trying to get root, I was stuck for so long bc of stupid mistake…
It’s been two days, I had no idea how many people would be trying this within the first week.
Well done, everyone
really easy machine but very cleaver one different than others!!! well done @ChefByzen
Got User 1 and User 2. Tried looking around if there’s any binary or file that stands out, but couldn’t find any. Not sure what the "“staying home…” tips exactly mean. I’ll appreciate any sort of help.

rooted, PM for help
Initial foothold took me longer than it should have taken, simply following the information given.
User1, was on right piece but ignored it first
User2, facepalm
root, once knowing where to look for, easy to find the right way
Rooted! Pretty fun box! feel free to PM for help!

Serious? Ohh a small sploiler… Bill Joy will not be happy…
Good easy box to not get rusty (I’m ashamed of myself running in circles for hrs not finding the user1 → user2 “transit area”).
Enjoyed the release arena a lot. Box is active in seconds and you have the box for yourself.

Maybe relates to the user1 → user2 “transit / passage”?

Good point.
Just rooted, honesty some of the hints are pointless and actually more misleading than anything.
Very interesting box, no point adding to what was already said regarding the hints.
Rooted. Pretty fun box but I don’t know why it’s rated medium. It’s one of the easiest boxes active rn.
If you’re stuck on root, the hints on here are more than enough to nudge you in the right direction. Don’t take them too literally though. I still don’t know what “read a book, write a novel” and all that stuff means.
Feel free to PM for nudges but please don’t expect direct answers. Only nudges. 
Pretty fun box but I don’t know why it’s rated medium.
TBH I don’t think it needs to be difficult to be rated medium. This one focuses on core enumeration and research skills vs just using tools. We have to do some things manually to get access (but if we could have used tools, then prob it would have been easy rated). I think the number of steps taken also is part of the reason that it is medium .
