Finally got SYSTEM! DM me if you need hints! The foothold took a bit of fiddling around. System was fun, try not to overthink the privesc!
Not sure iām going to make it but iām very closeā¦ what a machine!
Got user and escalated to nt authority\local service with the help of @alemusix and @josephalan42. Thanks a lot guys!
Now Iām just missing the last stretch to nt authority\system.
Anyway itās a very fun machine. Any advice for this last part is highly appreciated!

Well, so far Iāve got to a succesful build but no dice. I think this is a bit beyond my capabilities 
Good luck to the few still trying!
Finally got SYSTEM! For someone who has not had much experience with Windows, this was a great learning experience. I spent a lot of time in the privilege escalation which was result of some of the bad assumptions I had made. The last part to SYSTEM user was real hard (for me) and it pains me to say that it took a lot luck than skill that I pieced together the solution.
Stuck at the same pointā¦ did you manage to move forward?
Can anyone assist with this NETSDK1004 āAsset fileā error? Iāve been banging my head trying to get a simple project to compile on this thing, works perfectly fine locally.
EDIT: Donāt know what was causing it, but managed to get compiling 
Thereās more than one way to skin a cat
Got System with the help from @alemusix and @josephalan42.

Just got user! Thanks to those who posted the links for the sln/vcproj, those where useful. Funny enough, I was able to get user by talking with chatgpt so maybe for those who are stuck on foothold, try asking chat some questions about sln/csproj files and what you can do with them.
Now on to system, wish me luck!

project may have corrupted, restoring will be helpful.
Hello! VS payload works on my local but not on the target. Why is that? Can someone put me in the correct direction?
If anyone has time, could you point me in the right direction after one attains user? Iāve looked at and tried so many things repeatedly that Iām sure Iām missing something very basic.
I tried setting up a .cs, .sln, and a .csproj and just to see what it gives back (in github) but I keep getting the error.
Hey, Iām really stuck after foothold. I donāt have much experience with Windows, but Iāve spent the last few days reading books on windows internals, every blog post I can find, Iāve tried everything my brain can think ofā¦ Could you give me any advice either here or on DM to point me in the right direction for privesc?
You can DM me
Hi there,
after submitting the URL to my local repo i get only āYour build is still being compiled. Please be patientā message and nothing else. No error, no buildā¦ is it possible that the box is corrupt or something else?
