I totally agree.
The last ones that were added were completely CTF-Like, with some realistic snippets.
I solved all of them and gave “like” in the end, because I still understand all the boxes as a great contribution to this platform, which as already said, is free.
But I would just like to leave here my disappointment as to some ways to reach user / root. Things like “guess the password for that thing, it’s right in front of your nose,” and you have to literally search the page and source for the password. Guys… please… hahaha. Use a default password or something, I still think it’s “okay,” but look for stuff in the source code? Search for text messages in an IMAGE?
I think 80% of the boxes available are VERY GOOD, with good ideas. Even a box that involves a lot of “guessing”, have very good parts. However, this topic is still very pertinent, since the last boxes that have been added are getting a lot of ‘dislike’ (Look Teacher and Chaos). And the reasons are obvious …
Just my 2 cents.
