Would be nice if someone could PM me about the initial foothold. I have no idea what to do except testing the web app, of which I found only XSS.

Thanks!

You need to do a little enumeration at the login level, we could inject what in a login page ?

i pretty much get what i need to do but the usernames taken * all of it *

Need to wait for my turn i guess ! :anguished:

Took me 2 days just to find xxxx.exe . Did someone mess up with the file or was it intentionally kept there ?

Rooted !

done

can someone PM me on intial foothold, which previous box is this like?

and me,pls

I know what I need to do in order to get root. Well, at least, I think I do. The problem is that the .exe I needed used to be there. But now it’s not. I’ve used this .exe earlier on but I can’t seem to find it anywhere now. There’s a shortcut for it on the desktop but it’s not in the location where that shortcut is pointing. Any ideas?

I got stuck on this for days dude. Try not to focus too hard on the .exe itself, but what it could create. As soon as I realised this I had root.txt instantly.

2 days to find that ****.exe?

Takes only minutes with the right dir command… :stuck_out_tongue:

Hey guys, anyone else having trouble having a persistent shell (user level)? Mine drops everytime after about 20 seconds. Not sure what I’m doing wrong

I’m having the same problem @Elios, i’ve tried different shells :anguished:

Same here @Elios and @Luisk2, not sure if it’s part of the challenge or it’s unstable

never once seen the shell drop on this box. Don’t know what your doing, but I used multiple different shells, and none dropped. I did get a couple hangs, but it was because I was doing stuff to hang it, while experimenting

kudos to this box :smiley: :slight_smile: fun one… PM for nudges …

try different shells for starters and see how they behave

i had quite a few unstable shells at some point… but one method i used was quire stable after all…
so maybe reset if you see no difference after all
