hi can anyone help me with this machineā¦ i am new to htb and security in general. for now somehow i have managed to get h**d file creds with john and read the .conf file as well. wen i try navigate to d home i dont get any basic authentication in browser. I am stuck at this stage for the last week. tried what ever little techniques i know . please guide me what to do next.
hi friends stuck here so long. read forum n=but cant make any sense from hints. please help
FInally rooted after 1 and half weeks :D. thanks a lot for guiding me @Hunterdraygon , @dialm and @Tugzen as well as all others in forum . my learning:
foothold - enumerate
user - if something is āNot Foundā in one way does not mean it is not accessible in the other way. Just like we have to look for childrens in the right way during hide and seek.
root - Lessen the size
Ok, rooted.
Foothold is a piece of cake.
User was a ā ā ā ā of a good ride.
Root is something that left me more than perplexedā¦
Rooted. Pretty straightforward machine , donāt overthink too much.
Any nudges that you need , ping me.
Rooted for me too !
Foothold : Enumerate and exploit. Not hard.
User : Carefully read all files you find and test it.
Root : GTFOBins pretty help.
PM Me if you want some help 
I finally got root.
1xWiZaRD and gobinathan thanks!
This is my first root.
Iām still www-data, but I have found the hā¦ password and nā¦password. But they dont work trying to ssh or logging in as David. Anyone with a hint on what to try next ?
Got it!

never mind got it
Got initial foothold so fast i thought the rest would be a walk in the park, and then proceeded to banging my head against user for a looong time, and finally got it thanks to a few gentle nudges from @Tellico.
Root was so easy i was making it much harder by trying all kinds of things. Finally got it while putting the kids to bed
Fun, educational, and rather clever box. thanks for making it.
Got user, but now stuck on root. I can see the obvious line in file to use to exploit, but donāt know how to use it. Any hints would be appreciated.
Finally got it thanks to @dialm
Iām stuck on user. I got the credentials for d**** and got the hint from this thread to read the n***o.c but I donāt know how to advance now. Iād be grateful if someone could pm me a nudge.
Hi all. Stuck on user. There are credentials for the user (all), but I can not figure out how to go to his contexts or read the home directory. Can someone give me nudge for possible options in PM
Hi guys, Im stuck. Found creds to crack, struggle with cracking it. Should I focus on creds or keep looking for something else ?
USER: Found creds, read manual and conf file to visit Private Space, stuck hereā¦ can someone please send me a PM nudge?
