I can find 2 open ports, am i missing a high end port ?
Refer to the “higher” port. Sorry, my description wasn’t as accurate as I could have made it. Two ports is correct.
Thanks, i need to look harder i guess as i found only one S** sh***
any luck ? …Even I have gotten as far as you may have!! I may have some idea tho how to proceed
Rooted! And had a great time with it, too. Pretty cool concept for a box
Here are some hints for user/root:
User
Make sure you pay attention to the service that is running on the higher port. There’s one in particular that you can abuse specifically. As was mentioned above, it is rather realistic and closely related to phishing tactics.
Root
Extract. Pay attention to what is relative. Afterwards, you can abuse a service to act as who you want to be.
I did the machine and got root … but I don’t really understand your hints!!
This box is lovely because there are several paths to root and there are many paths to discover that paths. We also have several possible directions that will not lead to result but still is interesting for learning.
I just started this box and I THINK I am on the right path to user. Does this have to do “making something unclear” and putting it on a higher port to run? Or is this a rabbit hole
Watch on the blog what extension can be sent. @n1b1ru
I found them. I can upload a file and it gets my kali… Anyway I cannot execute it
I used a Payloadless file and maybe the problem is in saving the file to the right folder and/or to execute it in order to download the malicious payload from my kali
Finally rooted. It was quite a long fight:) Thanks @Seepckoa for help!
User part is straightforward if you read the web. For root - don’t stuck on enumeration for too long, try to understand how ALL files are processed.
user: the website is telling you all the hints to get user (is no ghidra) XD
ROOT: Here you will need a similar attack but in other format. Read everything that you can in the machine and try to understand what is doing (like others are saying). The final part of this, get the system shell and read this
