Same, could really use a fresh hint…A “fresh” hint? Lol the box has been out for barely a week - and everything you need to solve it is in this thread… What more “hint” could you need?
I’ve never ever done any priv esc before, I’m very much a beginner at this, but hey, I hear you, I think I just gotta read more and more about priv esc
Will try again and again until I succeed
The missing pieces to privesc’ing this box are probably staring at you (it was for me) I didn’t see it at first with all the machine resets and those resets cause me to go down a dark and unnecessary rabbit hole. I reached out to someone and was thankfully told to try harder and look at the basics. Once you ‘see’ it you can privesc with very minimal effort (read: you don’t have to crash the box).
g0tm1lk’s basic linux priv esc guide is a great resource for beginners (and this machine)
