    Hopefully this machine allows doing some REing, was too long time ago last time :)

    Is the idea to send a reverse shell that doesnt get detected? If so, do you need to use your own email for this?

    May be we miss smth. Tried to exploit one with a published ghidra project vuln - no luck…
    And sometimes 445 port stops working…

    Is it just me or is there something wrong with the exploit?? I understand what I have to upload and my script to the .o** is correct, but every time I execute it, I get nothing?? Is there another attack path or is this just a rabbit hole???

    Not a rabbit hole.

    This machine is actually harder than i thought...
    I cant really say much without spoiling it so yeah, here are some of my hints

    Initial: Enumerate harder find what you should find, read it carefully and it could be the hint that you are looking for...

    User: Do your usual enumeration when you see something, again read it carefully and think about it. It is one of the most common method of baiting through phishing . This part is rather realistic.

    rooted. I think there is more than one way to get root.

    Mind sharing me on how you get root? perhaps we got it differently...

    awesome box, really enjoyed and learned something

    Rooted! And had a great time with it, too. Pretty cool concept for a box :)

    Here are some hints for user/root:

    User
    Make sure you pay attention to the service that is running on the higher port. There's one in particular that you can abuse specifically. As was mentioned above, it is rather realistic and closely related to phishing tactics.

    Root
    Extract. Pay attention to what is relative. Afterwards, you can abuse a particular service to get the shell you want.

    I can find 2 open ports, am i missing a high end port ?

    Refer to the "higher" port. Sorry, my description wasn't as accurate as I could have made it. Two ports is correct.

    I did the machine and got root .. but I don't really understand your hints!!

    This box is lovely because there are several paths to root and there are many paths to discover that paths. We also have several possible directions that will not lead to result but still is interesting for learning.

    Good box. Massively overcomplicated the initial entry point. Top tip, dont use ping to confirm code execution this time!

    Path after user is interesting. I ended up on an unintended path which has it's own issues.

    GUYs I really need help here.. found both Ports .. but im not sure where to go...

    I just started this box and I THINK I am on the right path to user. Does this have to do "making something unclear" and putting it on a higher port to run? Or is this a rabbit hole

  • nutinuti

    I am stuck at the initial foothold. Is the recent X** vuln in the RE tool not the way to go? At least it does not work for me.

  • wabafetwabafet

    the comment in the hints I found were more like it was a misconfig for ghidra not the actual RCE due the the xml parser just my 2 sense
