Man how could you’ve been able to rewrite that service file to PE?. I gain access years ago, but i get stuck on the PE stage. Any help would be great

there is nothing to edit… hehe

Guess I just spend the last 4 hours on a rabbit hole then ;-;. Any hint?

there is nothing to hint bro… the only hint is the actual answer…

PE is ez af… don’t overlook into it…

Is the login function at m******l a rabbit hole?

just got here as well, and its not. Got it to hit back to a http listener on my machine. You need to see how to properly configure the first service to send the payload to the second one.

Very nice machine, it was a bit unstable at the end, but beautiful road.
For user, find the vuln and try to understand the whole context and not just copy/paste the PoC, in order to exploit what you need find.
Root, is obvious, once you find it, it will be that.
Thanks for another great machine!

PS: special thanks to @panda08s, for enlight me out side the hole.

This was a fun box, and it didn’t take long to finish.
Enumeration: look at what the statuses imply.
Foothold: see what the first service does and what options it has. Some googling will point you to a type of attack, this can be used to get more info that was not attainable in enumeration.
User: More googling about the second service, and then modify the foothold to be able to use the exploit.
Root: One of the first things you should check. Might need to get a better shell first.

bro please you can help me for getting the shell of this machine

i am stuck please any one
can help me

Fun box. I was setting something up to become root, but something else happened. Got some prompt, and then # was 3 characters away.

Is there a connection issue; because some ports comes with “filtered” STATE ?
“I can access one port”

You are correct. Remember this. You might need it later.
