Doesn’t seem very talkative in here
I am stuck on root. Got user. If you need help to get to user, you can pm me.
Nice work getting user!
I see you got root already. Can you give me a small nudge in the right direction?
Sure, u can PM me
Rooted!
ahah true XD
Rooted this box thanks for it JD and TCG :>
ok nevermind, got something
nvm got it
Really nice box here!
Nudges (let me me if that spoil!)
User: Enumeration enumeration enumeration, find the logic and understand how each app are interconnected to pivot until finding the flag.
Root: Take a close look at running processes, once you find the one you can quickly pivot again, exploit cve and grab the flag
Quick question for those whose finished it. I managed to grab the root flag but can’t seems to find a way to extract the ssh private key of root
. Any idea how it’s possible ?
Cheers
Hello everyone !
I’m stuck on User. I already “pwned” 2 services but stuck when trying to get foothold on the third one. Got a s—l on b—t c–t----r. But after many tries of enumeration I have no clue where to look. If anyone has a little hint to put me in the right direction that would be nice !
DM me if you want !
Thank you and happy hacking
It is possible to do an arbitrary write …

Yes got it in the end
Can fully close this box now…
Nice
The b*** login displays an error even though the password should be correct. Is that intended or is it a bug in the machine?
Did you figure that out?
i pretty much left this box when that happened… i honestly don’t know. i was hoping for someone who solved it to answer
Haha, right, I was pretty ■■■■frustrated myself. I managed to get past it. It’s not an error. Right creds?
