Curling

Anybody else having problems with response times on this box?

I’ve grabbed working creds and trying to take them further, but everything in the area when you can use them is SERIOUSLY slow to the point of being unusable.

edit - it was still deathly slow after resets, but fine the next day

Got the user.txt and root.txt
but the root.txt permission have anything wrong?

Hey guys, curling is my first ever CTF attempt… I’ve managed to fumble my way into user and can see the a-a folder everyone is talking about. Can also see the files being accessed… but not sure where to go from there. Can someone please PM me with a nudge in the right direction?

Finally got root flag, but I cannot figure out how to get a root shell.

EDIT: I must just have the syntax wrong. I can get what I want from the user shell to spawn a reverse user shell, but I cannot get the same result using input. If I am one the right track, please PM me.

Can anyone help me? Currently stuck at a****-ar**, and managed to see the command in the processes. Tried looking at the man for c**L but still didn’t get it

Ladies and Gents, I achieved USER Sh*** yesterday and I feel that I am close to root but I am just missing something. Any helpful input based on that would be totes amazing lol!

Grabbed the user flag but got stuck going for root. A helpful tip from GDX confirmed I was on the right path and gave me what I needed to see the full picture and make it work.

Honestly, the best hints are already on this thread. Any more would be a dead giveaway. If you need more than that, you will need to ask someone via PM.
