Curling

Hello,
Iā€™m actually stuck at the pa******_ba**** file and I found that it has something to do with bz*** but Iā€™m not sure what to do with that.
Could somebody give me a hint towards the right direction please? That would me much appreciated.

when you guys create an uploader on the home page you kinda are spoiling the machine for others, there are other ways, way more elegant and less noisy

Ive accessed s*****.txt and used 2 c tools on it , but nothing

What you need is in the forum posts. Take a step back before you can move forward.

Hi guys I got the user flag I can give you hint about user but I am stuck on the root flag I know I should edit something in a*****-a***** and use c*** but I canā€™t go any further. Thanks.

edit: nvm got it

Currently stuck on the root part. Need a hint for the two files.

Edit: Got the root hash, but do not know how people invoked it. Have a clue but would like to ask someone who already rooted the box. Someone who is willing to explain it to me PM me please :slight_smile:

Does it really have anything to do with cewl tool?

Done. Anyone able to send me a DM, I have a couple question around method etc and would be good if someone can shed some light for me. Cheers

Got it!

hello everybodyā€¦ Iā€™v been able to find the user and the passwordā€¦ I logged in as super adminā€¦ whatā€™s next? I tried to upload a php to get a reverse shell via an uploader that some one put there but no luck. I donā€™t even know how to put an uploader by my self. > @natanrigailo said:

Can you give me a nudge about this method?
Thank you

Hello guys,

I must be really stupid, i found the s*****.**t but iā€™m unable to login with common username such as admin, administrator, superuser, even Floris lol can you guys help me ?

thx

I canā€™t, for the life of me figure out whatā€™s going on in the a****-****a folder. Iā€™ve tried messing around with both files, but no dice. Can someone PM me the teensiest hint possible?

EDIT: rooted, how silly of me. Any pointers on popping a root shell?

My thoughts on Curling. Some people said this was too easy while others said it was hard. My thoughts are there are a few things in the beginning that make this machine super frustrating but overall this wasnā€™t a difficult box.

Foothold
Yes its what you think it is. ā€œMay the source be with youā€
After you find the thing that data is in the BASEment, floor 64 (this was the most frustrating part for me because this wasnā€™t indicated anywhere)
Read ALL the blog articles
login and understand where you are. Some googling should point you in the right direction for a shell.

User
This one was fun. I hope this isnā€™t a spoiler but this article helped me a lot (google bandit-level-12)

Root
Once on the box look around. You donā€™t need to look real far to see whats going on. cat everything and once you see whats happening you should know what to do.

PM me if stuck

same boat - got user flag got root flag, but unsure how everyone is getting/turning it into a root shell - would appreciate a PM - thx

Total newbie, first attempt at anything like this.

Iā€™ve got so far as logging into backend and have managed to get a shell uploaded, I can see files in the home directory but cant view the content of the files from web browser shell.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Heyo guys. Iā€™m kinda stuck here. I was able to login to the Control Panel on the website. but I kinda donā€™t know what to look for here. I tried uploading a PHP shell but whenever I try to access the file I get

10.10.10.150 is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

Am I going in the right direction? If you have the time to help me out, Iā€™d love the help c_c

Edit:
Thanks to @CaptainKeyes I was able to surpass my mistake and own user! My many thanks :3

Now the fight continues to get root, Idk how the ā– ā– ā– ā–  Iā€™m gonna do it tho
