Encountering this kind of challenge for the first time and so I am not able to get a foothold. Would someone please recommend me some resources to get started with? Any specific IPPsec videos maybe?
Have a look at IPSec’s Bitterman video.
Does anyone have an idea how I can get hashcat to run in a VM environment when I can’t use GPU? I’ve tried all the results I’ve found online but I still can’t get it to work.
Hashcat is great with a GPU, but if you don’t think you’re going to have access to one soon, I would just use John.
it seems images are filled with some info. I used steghide and it prompts for password. It doesnt have anything with task (root hash already obtained) but just for my curiosity: did anyone cracked it? Is it some easter egg? Is it worth to be cracked or just a rabbit hole?
I was excited to see another ‘easy’ box getting released and the first step is literally custom exploitation and reverse engineering XD
I’ve only been on this site for about a week. Managed to find the reference to high port, and have no idea how to get this sound-chamber to say what I want.
That’s what I get for picking the box everyone said was easy.
I need a hint for user, i noticed a lot of people wrote their strings to memory and execute it from there, how(just adding the string potion)? , I can’t find any tutorials specifically for this, all I can find is the spawn a shell from libc, and they avoid adding the string to the memory route. thank you
Thinking about the same thing… have you found a good article about it?
It seems I have the right PW for root, however, I cant for the life of me figure out how to switch users. s**o doesnt exist and s* no workie! LOL Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
I got the exploit working locally, but remotely something is not in line… appreciate any help
safe is safe 
good box with custom exploitation
