Just wanted to say a big thank you to @sahay for this box. I actually quite enjoyed the initial “challenge” and got through it really quickly, but then got stuck for a few hours due to not checking my dirb output carefully enough. Doh! Mental note made for the future!!! 
After getting user I had an idea what I needed to do, but having never done anything like it before I needed to do some research. Thanks to everyone who mentioned the video for a previous box. I watched that super carefully, did a bit of work and then Boom! Rooted! 
From reading some of the other comments here I’m pretty sure people are going to read what I’m going to say next and think “WTF has she been smoking” lol but I loved this box, I think it’s been my favourite so far 
Great little root challenge and a nice little intro to BOF. Definitely learnt a few things from it.
