For the Vaccine machine in Starting Point I got root acces and I got the user flag with a OpenSSH remote login client using the credientials that I found in dashboar.php but when I try to submit the flag it says that it is incorrect.
please help
Chances are its an issue with the HTB dynamic flags. Either wait for the box to reset or raise a JIRA ticket and HTB can fix it.
I’m having this issue, for me it was that someone changed the user.txt file and replaced the flag with “1234”. I sent a JIRA ticket in to reset the box, not sure how quickly this will happen.
Unfortunate that others feel the need to ruin the experience for others.

I am having a similar problem today. I got both the correct flags. When I enter the root flag it is correct, but whenever I try to enter the user flag, which is 100% correct, I get an incorrect flag message. I tried resetting the machine and re-enter the user flag, but I still get the incorrect flag message.
Every time you reset the box, there should be a new user-flag, if this isn’t happening, the box might be broken. You might need to raise a jira ticket to get it fixed.
(note : I dont actually know if dynamic flags have been backported to retired boxes, so I cant remember if this box has one or not. From the problem you’ve mentioned, it sounds like one.)
