■■■■, I’ve been wanting to make a box with one of these techniques for months!
I’m surprised so many people don’t like this box, I actually really enjoyed it. I thought all of the steps were pretty logical and straightforward, and I learned about new vulnerabilities and techniques for every step (except the “priv esc” since I already knew about it). The only thing I thought could be done better was the priv esc. I felt like there were things that simply had no point of being there, and there are known vulnerabilities for those things, but then the root password is just given to you and you don’t get to really play around with them at all.
If someone disliked this box and wants to discuss why, feel free to PM me, I’m always curious about differing opinions!
Thanks for the box @sahay !
