Got root. I really liked this box to be honest. I know there's a lot of talk about it being easy, and I get that the techniques used for user/root aren't super complex, but it was still a nice little challenge.
What's most important is that I learned a few things on this box. Very nice.
Hi Guys, any hints on user and root? I have a shell, and can get into the use folder but cannot read the .txt. the other p*******_b***** file seems to not open? Checked out the file signatures etc, cant seem to find what i need to do to get it to open.
If someone was helpful, don't forget to give +1 Respect.
There is one post in this thread in regards to that b***** file which imo gave away exactly what you needed to do. The poster gave away some info you could google.
Any hint for decompressing the file b**** i tested a lot of thing but without success. I find the extension of the file but can't extract any information
Got a shell via upload, and the pass file. However have no idea what to do with it. The thread give a good clue but not really sure how use it... Any hints or PMs welcome!
UPDATE: Followed the steps from a hint in this thread, dont understand what I did, or how i did it, but I have user...
Trying to solve my first machine here. Managed o get a shell as www-data. Found three files user.txt, a-a, p*******_b*****. No clue how to move ahead from here. cant read user.txt. Could someone help or give and hint on how work on p*******_b*****.
P.S : newbie here.
Thanks.

Got root flag about a week ago, but I just HAD to get root shell. Having only been on Linux for a few weeks now, this was quite a learning experience.
Special thanks to @deviate for getting my head straight and finally getting the root shell.
