fulcrum and hackback as far as i can tell WERE the two longest bloods to get. This box has put them to shame.
Got a local exploit working. On to remote. Good luck if you’re just now starting - lots to learn with this one!

And there they are completely gone, now 
Box has been rooted (in an unintended way, though)

Unintended ways are my favourite way. They give me hope being able to do it…

They just fixed it, and are now rolling out new machines.
Meanwhile, I am reading blog posts about “Careful children’s shoes” (translated by Chrome from Chinese to English), without really knowing what Chrome is trying to tell me by that
I love it that one person rated root difficulty as “Piece of cake”

lol, so the box is from a scale of piece of cake to brain ■■■■.
For 2 days now I have been looking for ways to attack the box, but there is no result. I will be very glad to any hints. Never sat 2 days without a foothold

Check what the box has to offer, compile it, and then you’ll probably have to research a lot about the topic
The foothold is really hard, but well worth the effort for how rewarding it is. The step to user however looks like a whole other level. I’m going to be here a while lol.
Edit: For anyone starting out, the best tip I can give is: Ubuntu, fetch, revert, patch, compile

Don’t make my mistakes and try to compile on Kali. I at least miss some build packages and need to start over completely…
I used a freshly installed Debian 10 VM for that (with 4 vCores and 8GB of RAM) and it took ~30mins (plus the time to install and configure Debian and the according packages)
Man i’m sweating just from seeing the stats on that box.
Can a difficulty level HIGHER than brainfuck be added to the options? This is the seventh day this box has been available, and only 6 people have gained root… ■■■■.

Nope. @sampriti gained root the intended way

Yup. Its a genuine shame the bloods weren’t reset. One blood in a week is pretty impressive (and very offputting).
That said, even the unintended way took days. It’s looking more and more likely that I’ll wait for the Ippsec video…
Ippsec’s probably sweating hard right now. “i only have 6 months to root it”

That genuinely made me laugh out loud.
I agree.

Well, after 6 days, I can finally say that I have popped a shell. But as it seems, the pain and suffering will only increase from here
But I also already learned a ton, while getting this first step. Thank you, @R4J, for making me learn all that stuff
