Any hint for root?
is c** or j********l binary related to the priv esc ?
was trying to gain root shell based on this binaries but no result…
I’ve read the docs on the service over and over again, cracked whats maybe needed later, but for the love of God if I read this man page again and it doesn’t work I reckon I will be down a computer as I might put a fist through it. I’m obviously not following something correct even though I feel I am. First time getting really frustrated i must say, but as they say try harder just don’t know what to try harder at now. ■■■■ this is killing me lol. Also making me feel like a right fool. So any suggestions are welcome I know I’m on the correct path it’s just not working as intended.

Assuming you’re talking about way to the user. You’ve got those creds from the very specific place. Look around and check functionality that this service provides. Some options should ring a bell
Hey
stucking at user flag …
have a shell, know about the “special area” but don’t know where or what to access to get flag…
Help would be appreciated - just drop me a dm 
Rooted yesterday. Pretty fun for the user part , root was a tiny bit tricky.
Tips for root: Go small… real small…

Can anyone confirm if i should look at cron jobs to get user ?
No, more simple than that.

Read the documentation.
Read the configuration file.
You should see something interesting.
Just finished the box, struggled a little with user at first, root was quite straight forward though.
User: Besides the obvious thing, check the manual and go back to read the c… file . It will tell you what there is to look for (even though you might not be able to discover it easily straight away)
Root: Reminded me a little bit of an otw bandit challenge. Once you found out what can be executed you may want to test it out in a less “restricted” environment.
Feel free to PM me for nudges
Thanks @jkr for nice machine
Rooted !
Real funny box, specially the root part XD
Feel free to PM me for hint (user /root)
I can’t think of a better box with such a wonderful narrative no less, to build a strong Linux/GNU foundation. Makes me take a fresh look at some of the commands and utilities I use daily. What an awesome box by @jkr as usual. Thanks!
Any help with root? I know its to do with GB and l**s but struggling to find the right syntax to put in the file
Rooted!
Initial foothold: too much easy
User: don’t try to bruteforce the pass, bruteforce the key 
Root: Simple but tricky… one advice: when you read gtfobins, the most important part is the first line, where it talks about a very small editor.

And also, don’t try to get root with terminal in full screen.
You’ll thank me later 
Root was quite easy if you know how the thing works but I don’t get the full screen reference, maybe I did it in a different way.
User was a bit tricky at first because I was barking at the wrong tree, but than I knew that something was there, so I followed the white rabbit to get there. Also I didn’t use the creds, so there must be two ways in. Let’s have a look.
Overall I enjoyed the box. Thank you @jkr
Rooted!
In my opition this machine is so CTF =/
But I learned much with this machine!
