Rooted, got the user.txt following root. This is probably the most ctf like box I have ever done. Can someone let me know what tool I was meant to use on the user file to reveal its contents?Also hint for root, contrary to a lot of people here I wasn’t abled to just execute a binary and have instant root (could be people not resetting on free server). I was able to execute commands as root by modifying the right file. Easiest way to find is to think how you would locate all files that have different/abnormal permissions. Hope that’s not too spoilery!
have you tried frolic yet? That is also a CTF like box.
I haven’t working my way through help currently! I’m looking more to do real-life style machines, had a look at conceal but reckon that machine will need a good weekend of work to get even close to user haha!
