Poison

@Ethic give you a good hint but I would add.
Think like most sysadmin think"

In this thread @NanoByte said

This box is not about thinking outside the box, its about thinking about this person and >>how they use the box. If we start enumerating the box we find several interesting things. >>Maybe there is a service of note. Many of you have found this service but have found >>yourself not able to utilize it. Think about how the person who owns the box would >>utilize it? Maybe there are guides online that he followed to secure it the way its secured? >>I bet if you did some googles from the prospective of the user of the box trying to set it >>up you would figure out really fast."

This is a good hint !

  1. How does one unzip the file on the machine? I don’t see an option for adding a password for unzip

  2. If it can’t be unzipped on the machine how does one download the file? I tried scp but keep getting permission denied

Any hints?

@DrChud It is possible to unzip it on the machine, consider trying other tools to unzip.
It is possible to unzip it on the machine, but read about netcat.

Whoever that is resetting the box every five minutes, plz stop

I need some help…found usernames and decoded the code, ssh does not work that decoded password…Dont know what to do…somebody help…

Think about what services are running on the system. Think about the creator. That’s how I got user, can’t help you with root though.

unzipped the file. but not sure how to get forward

Here’s a couple of hints for you:

  • The output of LinEnum.sh has the service you are looking for. Look for something that you may not expect to find on a non-GUI system.
  • Not every port is open for the world to see. Can you find a way to access those ports from your kali box?

Good luck.

Hi
i am stuck at the grey screen , i have tried all the options
if someone can help please PM …

can someone reset poison? the service not running currently.

I managed to get user a while ago and decided I’d try to get root, but now I can’t remember for the life of me how I did user, lol.

I think I have an idea but the thing I’m trying is just taking way too long so maybe I’m not doing it right. Can someone PM me a hint?

… so changing to my phone’s wireless AP let me do the thing I wanted to do. Welp.
