me too

hope you are doing well,I just want to ask you about priv esclation for this machine, got stuck I run a lot of automated tools but seems I can’t see anything clear, could you help me to point my gun, have seen all the comments and tried to enumerate a lot of things , tried also several CVE but no luck, dm me or reply me thanks
update : Finally I did really learnt so much from this “”“easy”“” box lol, keep going and thanks for the best hacking community hackthebox is the greatest thanks a lot guys

I’m having the same problem, I always get a TypeError.
Can’t figure out where the issue is. Can someone give me a nudge?

This one makes me mad. I quickly managed to communicate with the strange port with different tools. I also managed to send the token but I don’t know what to do with the two messages: “Will update soon.” and “A… Workin…”. I also managed to connect with the user “A****” but it doesn’t seem to lead me further. I have tried command injections without success. I tested with three different tools, one of which allowed me to use Burp to intercept the requests but it didn’t help me…
Can anyone help or pm me please?
Thank you!

same situation here. This box is making me furious lol.

Try to think about what happens behind the scenes. What is this id parameter, how it may be used? What is most likely to be used as the backend to store and retrieve data? What vulnerability is common to that kind of service?
I think answering those questions will help you to find the way to user.

Got user! Thank you all, I don’t know why I was so desperate to get something directly from the tools to communicate with g***, forgetting the basics…
For those who are stuck at this stage. If you have reached this stage it means that you are able to communicate with the service correctly, so now remember the basic web attacks. Think simple…

Rooted!
Thanks to @ForP44 for the nudge regarding the TypeError. After solving that, it was a breeze.

I am stuck, am I in the wrong way?

i am connecting the weird port with curl (–http2-prior-knowledge) and sending POST requests with te: trailers. But cannot go further.

If anyone needs some help, feel free to DM me I will get back to you eventually.
This was extremely interesting foothold for me, learnt a ton.
I struggled a bit with root for some reason even though it was pretty straightforward.
Thanks to @Dark0x3 and @lim8en1 for hints

rooted again
the intended way this time
It’s a nice box. It’s not that often there’s no http server but a ‘weird esoteric’ service instead.
I learnt new valuable things :+1:
going for some ‘beyond root’ now
