As others have said, this is a great example of an easy box.
Foothold: What are you being allowed to do? What version is running?
Privesc: No linpeas or linenum required. Just take a look around and read then abuse
Root: Classic privesc to root with a fun hax0r twist

Don’t be afraid to PM for hints but let me know where you are and what you’ve tried.

Ty @jiggle for the small hint

rooted! pm me for hints!

Pretty fun box. It took me a while, but it’s the box that I’ve solved with the least time spent on forums. I think it’s a pretty good beginner box. DM me for hints. :slight_smile:

Hi all, can anyone drop me a hint for the privesc?

Very good box for beginners, thanks 0xdf. My tips:

User: Tools and parameters

Lateral movement: Replicate it locally, making it easier.

Root: What can you do? It’s obvious.

If there is any spoiler, please remove it.

If you need help, don’t hesitate to ask me.

Greetings.

tips for root ?

Any hint for the foothold ? Please PM me.

Edit : just found the right exploit.

tips for privesc?

Box was definitely fun! Thanks @0xdf !

I am running into an issue where it won’t let me submit the user flag as it says incorrect flag…

I have gotten root.txt and submitted that flag just fine… Any ideas?

I’m facing the same issue… Does anyone know how I can get this to work?

This is an ongoing issue with the rotating flags. @TazWake has an entire copypasta regarding it.

In short, change servers and retry.

Raise a jira ticket with HTB, they are the only people who can fix it.

same problem with my flag. It is not accepted.

hey guys, the flag isn’t accepted and i keep reseting the machine and getting new ip for it and it keeps telling me the flag isn’t right

After changing to U.S., did you regenerate your connection pack? Because this sounds more like you just connected to the same old server (that also failed to reset).

seems like there’s an actual issue with the flags for this box at the moment. a few people with VIP+ in the discord server can’t submit the flags either. Even after resetting/spawning a new instance.

If people aren’t raising jira tickets, it wont get fixed.
