Anybody have some time to help? I’m looking to get root. I think I’ve found something that’s not usually on Linux machines (not an easy task for me yet), but I’m worried I’m creating my own rabbit hole :).
If you found it, it should work right away.
It depends if someone else has done the dirty work for you yet or not

Oh, interesting. Then maybe the previous user forgot to reset the machine before I got in… Sending a PM.
Hello, I’m new to HTB. Been reading the forums, writeups, watching IppSec, trying challenges and several boxes.
Obtained user successfully, but am struggling with root. Things I’ve tried so far:
re-read this thread for clues
carefully went line by line through list of binaries (running and not) as suggested
tried enum scripts and read through the output multiple times
Googled for common enum techniques, read through several blogs, tried the suggestions
tried comparing box and files to typical Linux box and files
tried looking for the “b” and “v” files explicitly mentioned in this thread
Kind of feels like if you know it, you’ll get it, and if you don’t, you won’t.
Similar to how if you’re color blind, no matter how hard you try, you won’t be able to see the hidden numbers amongst the dots.
Not sure what to try next. Any clues as to what I’m missing here?
Got root, don’t think I ever came across the b file everyone is talking about though.
Hint: The file I used is not nested 100 layers deep in some obscure subdirectory. Went back to my popular enum script results and it was in there, I simply missed it because it didn’t stand out to me. Googling the file path and name yielded 0 relevant results, thus missing from typical Linux boxes and an excellent candidate for a closer look based on hints earlier in this thread.
this is so strange…I used to connect to a service to upload ie script and now that service does not accept previous file type…Trying to access root but need that service…when I test it with a jpg it works fine but when I try to use another file type then it doesn’t accept it anymore…
Hi, this is first of a kind box for me, can I get some help or hints like on how to get forward. Have been stuck in the scanning part where I found what ports it have but cant get forward.
I’m a beginner at this and the main page hints at there being an I** service. It doesn’t show up with nmap and I’m unable to connect to it. I just want to confirm that this isn’t the way I’m supposed to get in right?
