Poison

Spoiler Removed - Arrexel

I could use the password to access the box… However after a reset. I cannot seem to be authenticated anymore. Is anyone facing the same thing?

someone keeps messing with the box. the port number for the ā€œsuspicious serviceā€ keeps changing. sometimes theres only one port available for that service, other times there are two or three.

i finally got root tonight. trying the same exact thing ive been trying for days, only this time i went in right after a reset. port wasnt what it usually is which i think helped keep it from being bombarded with incorrect requests. no more ā€œtoo many triesā€ errors.

also ran into ā€œa ghostā€ā€¦which one of yall was it

got user in 30 min and root in 2 days…what kill us is our thoughts… very easy machine… user is just laying there ready to be picked up and for root there is a way of using a particular tool :wink: everything is here in the chats :+1: …Good luck

Thanks for this post, the crux of how to get root is within the page.

Just owned root!

What kara said, that link is gold. Read the manuals people!

Hi there community. Please forgive this silly question of mine but… I scanned poison yesterday and found some ports listening. Among them a three letters service that seems promising. And today, after basic research on how to attack that service, I scan again and the service is not there anymore. Is this ā€œnormalā€ or am I extremely lucky?

Ah! That’s what a reset is for… next time I’ll just dig deeper instead of asking silly questions.

Oh well… nope, I’m 5 minutes after a reset and still no service like yesterday. I’m puzzled. God I feel alone :slight_smile:

I could use a nudge… I’ve read through the posted link, and understand tunneling/port forwarding, and I know I’m toying with the right service… but the dots are not connecting and I’m on day 2

I experienced that too. I saw that while the service is not available, someone rooted the box. So i am guessing that we need to do something before we can use that service . Just a huge guess. I am stuck and i am on day 2 too :confused:

i keep getting the ā€œgrey screenā€ when connecting… don’t see too much on that here. Is it syntax or do I need to set a variable? or something else? I feel like a good solid hint on this problem would not only help me but others just getting on this box

i have everything right EXCEPT the display… how do you set the display correctly…hmm. i have been on this box for 5 WEEKS!!! Im right there… so close
