And Rooted !
First off thanks to those for the tips - I’d say all the tips here are usefull without giving the game away
As for the Box
At first it irritated me but i reckon a lot of the problems i had with initial foothold were down to constant resets and i presume some bruteforcing going on. From what ive seen so far brute forcing and reverse shells arent often needed - the boxes are designed to test yous skills in other ways.
Once i got going - what a trip ! this one is a real learning curve and certainly made me think !
I cant add anymore hints as they have allready been posted in this thread, but feel free to PM for hints .
