Rooted.
All the hints you need are in this thread; just be aware the box can be a little sluggish/unstable, depending on how many other people are going for root.
Some of the reviews are quite harsh; I enjoyed this box, despite the performance issues. It’s always good fun to learn new techniques, and this box provided that opportunity for me.
Which tools did you all use for exploiting the vulnerability found in the low port?
With a well known tool I can get a PoC working, but when I try to use it with different parameters it fails miserably.
Finally got Root shell… very unstable machine but it was nice experience.
Thanx to @RedDevil09 for helping.
User: check for lower ports and some information will give you user access.
Root: use of c**l command on some installed software. port forwarding not required.
For freshers this box is very good to learn new things.

Not sure what you mean here. If you mean the lowest port, then the built-in client on any Linux machine will work.
If you mean the highest two-digit port, then the exploit is just through a request - you can use any tool.
Servmon, I really broke my feet! between the rest!
the user is good, the root is **** up
What an ordeal! I finally got root, but not after a BUNCH of frustration and dealing with an unstable box.
User Hints: Enumerate. Find an exploit that will let you see things that should be hidden. You’ll find seven keys. There’s a way in, but you might have to try a few keys in a couple doors before you find it. Have patience, you’ll get in.
Root Hints:
@dmw0ng – This was perhaps the most frustrating box I’ve rooted. It tested my patience and perseverance. It forced me to read an instruction manual for a product I hope to never, ever encounter for the rest of my days. It drove me to the brink of insanity.
But it challenged me, and I persevered. Thank you for that.
got user easily but stuck on getting root where to look, please pm.
Finally root this box!
I think enough hint has been given but here’s a tip.
Use the Api. exploitation is even simpler I think. If you’re struggling I’m here for advice.
Special thanks for a final hint that allowed me to root the machine at @pHuR1u5.
I’m really sorry for @dmw0ng which receives bad notes on its box because the others don’t follow the good way and try without thinking the first exploitation which finds. This box was really nice! I hope you’ll make another one!
rooted… this box is … the worst…
but kinda cool

Hey! I’ve found some creds based on the instructions in the files gathered from the users which should be used for something one might think. problem is that none of the pws work? Is someone changing the password to make me pull my hair out or am I jumping down a rabbit hole (would surprise me on this machine though) …
Sure enough the same creds worked after a couple of hours… Rooted, fun box and I learned a lot even though my hair is absolutely somewhat thinner than it was before this box
Cannot really run the final payload from N***** to get shell. Reset button has become my favourite button. Log filled with people DoSing the login page. I am really pissed that I cannot finish this due to technical problems.
Great box, learned a bunch. Thanks @magomed for the help in my misunderstanding!
Can someone pm me? I’m stuck at the final step and cannot receive a root shell. I trigger the payload (extl and scher) and receive back again on my machine Nad***e’s shell instead of NT Authority. I am going nuts over here.
EDIT: Got that ■■■■ root. Respect to cY83rR0H1t.
Tip: APIs are great.

Use nmap to scan the server and identify open ports. When/If you find some, investigate them further to find ways to exploit them.

As a hint, you halve the time it takes to get help if you ask the question you want to ask from the outset.
Root - API and No Reboot necessary.

as simple as that !!
don’t reboot this machine agaaain
and thanks to you @dmw0ng for this box
Rooted. First Windows box. Thanks, @dmw0ng, I learned so much on this one. User came pretty easy, but it helps to be old and be familiar with a service that isn’t used so much any more. Root was tougher, but I eventually got it from the tips on this thread using the API commands. Now may I never see N******t ever again.
