User wasn't that difficult, same with initial shell. Looking for root now...

opt1kz

I just started poking at it, so I'm still enumerating and working on user. Is the serial number thing a dead end? Edit: It is not a dead end. Just had to enumerate more.

TazWake

Still no root - given how quickly people have been dropping user, the escalation must be a nightmare.

can confirm, is a headache. the environment is obvious and pretty cool, but personally I do not know anything when it comes to stuff like this. I think the same goes for a lot of people on HtB, hence the lack of root.

Thank you for this. I have been scratching my head for too many minutes.

Pretty much this. After getting user and poking around/enumerating a bit, I have no idea where to even start. So many things to investigate and so many things that are probably rabbit holes...

Stuck at this point.

Edit: Got it

Remember that snowscan is a troll, many dead ends after user.txt

did you find the doc? it seems we need to get default user/pwd from the chasiss but enumerating with common tools and wordlists didn't work out for me

join the club lol

Documents is the key for getting user. Back to basics. Start from port scan again but not only tcp.

ye just found it thanks

Cobaas

For anyone stuck on the initial foothold - remember that TCP isn't the only way to transmit data

For anyone stuck on the Priv Esc - i'm in the same boat as you....

jreeves

I have no idea where to go after getting access to the admin console

0xlc

i got rce but no shell yet, i can just ping myself from the box haha

ryz

Got user. Time for some root.

Inari

getting user is not difficult.
still no clue about privesc!

Kyyka

Anyone else have/had trouble to get s******k working? Gives "Timeout: No response", command syntax should be correct.

Same. Frustrating. People are saying it is easy though. Think brain, think!

alacerda

Weird. Because I am already root but i just can find user flag. PS.: I didnt privesc I am already root

Underworld

I like these themed/realistic challenges. Yey

Probably because there are multiple challenges after that shell ?

0xEEX75

I have RCE

Privesc was a pain in the ass. Here's a hint: on the web page pay attention at what you read even if it looks funny or silly at the first sight, maybe because it could be something useful later on

Vex20k

I seem to be stuck on this already.. I only have the following.

• Found the docs
• Found 2 other ports
