Rooted…
This machine is rated easy, not because it is straightforward, but because it does not require any advanced knowledge in pen testing…
I don’t, however, think it will add much knowledge to a beginner trying to learn…
Most of the steps do not require complicated solutions, but rather looking around and eliminating potential solutions one by one until the right one is left.
If you are stuck, need a little help, or need just a nudge in the right direction, PM me and I’ll be glad to help
