Got user and root here. Machine user was annoying. Nothing new learnt from here, maybe i learnt how to read beacuse of that documentation… On the countrary root was an interesting part where i learnt a lot. Not a bad machine at all.

Anyone so kind that will help me please??? I’m in stuck on initial foothold, I’ve found some stuff but still no credentials.
Please PM me.

How to get a stable shell on z*****. once i connect it throws me out of it. any problem with it

Wow! Rooted, without user. Learn a new thing, thank you for this experience!! :slight_smile:

Completed this machine if anyone need help feel free to pm :slight_smile:

if u spend more then 30 min to get root …i’m sure u will slap u’r face when u find-out :slight_smile: just like i did …nice box thanks

So I have a stable reverse shell - In the wrong place. I have API access through 3**37 and GUI access with super user privs… Can create and run scripts, but I can’t get the frickin things to execute in the right place. Any advice a depressing friday night like this? I reckon there is an issue with the h****d, but no matter how I fiddle, the outcome seem to be the same. =)

Hi, i have found an interesting s***pt related to priv. esc. I have followed what it does but i can’t read any file. What should be done?

I know how to execute what i want over the J*** A**, but i cannot for the love of god find this spelling mistake everyone is talking about, that “gave up” the admin user creds.

nvm

Finally rooted. Lesson of the day is not to try and exploit a non-reverted machine. Creds to @burmat for this box - I really, really enjoyed it!

Stuck? Feel free to PM for vague nudges. =)

Initial foothold was the hardest part of this machine.
User took a while, but I tried something really basic and it worked. I was overthinking.

Whilst trying to get user I found the root privesc way, I just couldn’t do it. But then it took only a couple of minutes at most.

Great machine overall!

Initial Foothold:
No bruteforce. Think smart. Take what you can with what you have. Something may look similar or like a typo, but it’s not.

User:
There’s something unusual running around. Check what it does, how it works, you may find useful information on your quest

Root:
There’s really only one place that hints you about anything to do with root. Think smart about the possibilities that you have in hands. You may need to really understand the User step.

If there are any spoilers please PM me and I’ll quickly remove it. Thanks!

nvm got user

rooted, love this machine!

I am in the same place as JXSH , can somebody PM for hints ? Thanks in advance

Done. Most challenging part for me was initial login to web app.

Any hints for a stable shell? If I still overthinking it’ll die haha

Rooted, really good machine the priv esc taught me a lot.

■■■!! I want to kill myself. All this time z****r password was in front of me and I never tried to use it because I was convinced it was only used in that script. Im such an idiot.

Now going for root.

Edit: got root. :slight_smile:
