Guys, when you own a user, dont change the password. i had to reset to get the user password working.
Ok I think I need some help with root.
I have written up a three step plan on how to get root, and I dont see why it isnt working.
-
Start the server of the service in question on my local machine. Set it to be :1
-
Create tube to securely transmit information through from localhost to poison, collecting from the port that :1 will be transmitting on on my machine to the same port on poison.
-
Connect to the service running on localhost:1
-
Sit and watch as the terminal cursor blinks at me and nothing happens. It does not ask me for a password like it does if I connect to localhost:2 (which is NOT being pumped out the tunnel fyi)
What am I missing here?
Also on the file from the zip; I can see it is a passwd file for a special service, but does it go on my machine, or on poison?
r00ted. Again a tough fight, but learned a lot. Thanks for the box
Can someone help me with root? I already unzipped the secret file and I think I also found the right command to use it with. But I always get “Authentication failed”. Can someone send me a pm?
Edit: Finally rooted it
I think I’m on the last step and have a couple clarifications / questions if I could PM someone.
EDIT Was able to get root. If anyone needs a nudge feel free to message me.

Hi, I am struggling with the step after the user.txt and secret. Need some kind soul to help me on the tunneling… Anyone can DM me please?

If you look at the running processes, there are likely a few instances of that running. Be concerned about the one running on root and how you ‘get’ to that one.
