Rooted. I got the foothold nice and quick then found the required details for the next user.... only to not use it and forget I'd found it. Got there eventually.
Feel free to PM for pointers.
Happy to help people but PLEASE explain your problem in as much detail as possible! If you say vague things like "It's not working", I cant help. This isn't Twitter so my DMs are always open.
Rooted. idk what people are talking about read a book or a novel or whatever, and I don't get how the name of the box plays into the rooting method. Maybe I missed something, lol.
Otherwise, not too easy, not too hard, just right.
I don't get how the name of the box plays into the rooting method.
Box names can mean lots of things, it isn't that common for them to relate to root specifically. Magic and Quick for example were both named as a hint to the initial foothold.
Sometimes it is even just the name of a website hosted on the target machine.
But yeah, on this box I am not sure what the name is related to.

Got User 1 and User 2. Tried looking around if there's any binary or file that stands out, but couldn't find any. Not sure what the ""staying home..." tips exactly mean. I'll appreciate any sort of help.
Initial foothold took me longer than it should have taken, simply following the information given.
User1, was on right piece but ignored it first
User2, facepalm
root, once knowing where to look for, easy to find the right way
Good easy box to not get rusty (I'm ashamed of myself running in circles for hrs not finding the user1 -> user2 "transit area").
Enjoyed the release arena a lot. Box is active in seconds and you have the box for yourself.

Rooted. Pretty fun box but I don't know why it's rated medium. It's one of the easiest boxes active rn.
If you're stuck on root, the hints on here are more than enough to nudge you in the right direction. Don't take them too literally though. I still don't know what "read a book, write a novel" and all that stuff means.
Feel free to PM for nudges but please don't expect direct answers. Only nudges.

TBH I don't think it needs to be difficult to be rated medium. This one focuses on core enumeration and research skills vs just using tools. We have to do some things manually to get access (but if we could have used tools, then prob it would have been easy rated). I think the number of steps taken also is part of the reason that it is medium .
If I helped you, I would love it if you cold +rep me on my HTB proifle.

Don't look at ownership. Look at contents.

Im stuck after getting the reverse shell. Can somebody give me a hint where to search for getting the access to one of the users?

Genuinely enjoyable box and pleased that I could make progress after about 8 hours of total fail on laser.
The flow is fairly methodological. Enumeration (as always) is key and public exploits get things started.
It's a good box to practice copying files off and scripting translations between encoding.

Got Root
For the root flag, wouldn't be able to do it without the hints in the Forum.
And even so, was looking for the wrong PRIV for hours

@gunroot I figured out what I was doing wrong, now I'm trying to get root, I was stuck for so long bc of stupid mistake...
It's been two days, I had no idea how many people would be trying this within the first week.
Well done, everyone
If I helped you out at all, feel free to click my badge and give +1 respect!

Just rooted, honesty some of the hints are pointless and actually more misleading than anything.
Very interesting box, no point adding to what was already said regarding the hints.

This is always subjective. If you know the steps needed to root a box, it is easy.
As @Fr0sty9 said, it's largely down to what you need to do. The more customisation the harder the box. (In general)
