Hey guys, just started the box a few minutes ago.
Scanned ports, and “loged on” the f-- one.
ls & dir aren’t recognized, fine.
But when I use LIST I get this error :
list
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection.
425 Cannot open data connection.
I hope there is no spoils, but I am really wondering if it is intended and if I need to check how I can fix this, or if there is a problem…
EDIT : Ok so I was using nc or tel*** to connect in f**, then I just installed and tried with another and it’s working … Sorry guys ! (if someone knows why it wasn’t working with these two can you PM me the reason )

this box is exposing how much of a N00b i am. I can do things that normally a privileged account such as Administrator should do, including create new accounts, even add myself to Administrator group. But I am not able to understand why i cannot read the root.txt
got user already, but pretty stuck with root. i don’t actually know what to do with r****, since im pretty newbie with windows privesc… if someone could pm me i would be very thankful
Priv esc was super annoying, but in the best possible way. Just make sure you get the syntax down right, google what you are trying to do if you get stuck. There are examples of people doing this. Take what you learned from that and apply the lazy admin thing everyone else keeps talking about.
Many people have said this but I think it needs to be resaid: You guys need to run the commands you write in a windows machine, it will save you A LOT of time. I spent a day trying to make the r**** command work from t****, but it took me no more than 15 minutes to figure it out on a windows machine.
Hi, any anyone assist me with getting the privesc for the root flag, I have tried do many commands to elevate but seem to have brickwalled on this
PM me and I can tell you where I am at, I believe I am close but cannot seem to get the syntax to work.
Rooted this box yesterday, i liked it! Good box to learn some new tricks on.
My most valuable tip for user.txt was to check how you get your files, if they are corrupted. After that it’s just reading and executing step by step, with a little bit of searching.
For priv esc, just use the command that’s been stated here a lot. It finally worked for me, after i replicated the environment on my own windows box, and then crafted the string until it did what i wanted it to do. When you do it on your own windows box you can check for syntax errors etc. My tip: Just write your command on your windows box until it does what you want, then change the paths and copy it over to your user shell.
If anyone needs help, feel free to PM me, i don’t spoil, just nudge you in the right direction.
Would really love some help on getting user. I have the 2 files and am sure they are not corrupted. Tried to cat these files for any useful strings but couldn’t find any. Also used m**tools cmds, but couldn’t read the header. Any tips or DMs would be really appreciated!

Tip: Keep trying to use that tool. Check out for every command you can use with it (there’s more than one). Google is your best friend now.
