Agree that I made root harder on this than it should have been. I can see where those newer to *nix operating systems might overlook something so simple. Feel free to PM me if you need a hint.
Getting in and escalating to user was easy enough though. Fun challenge!
Ive read all the hints and im still stuck on root , i have a feeling its v… file but no idea how to execute it . Can anyone Pm me for a Nudge cause im clueless
Managed to obtain root what a Box ! My tip is keep enumerating and do some white and blacklisting with the attack and host linux machine.
You should find what you need
Thanks for the Hints guys , you guys are awwsome
Having spent nearly two days on a GDB script believing it’s the b*** file with stego people are talking about… I feel obligated to let people know it isn’t.
I found the “real” file, but already popped root by that time. If anyone wouldn’t mind a PM to hint the stego… well I’ve got root already.
Could someone give me an hint for user? I already got the shell with MSF, found user.txt and the .b***** file. Got the information I needed from it, but now I don’t know where to use it.
EDIT: Got user. Lol, never forget the services you have already enumerated
Complete noob here. I can not for the life of me figure out how to get root. I think I’ve found the interesting file, but I can’t seem to make it do anything. All it says is permission denied. Am I missing something?
got a shell, found the .b***** file, searching for “the binary” file that everybody is talking about, and also searched for a program on the machine that is used for steganography, but i couldn’t find any. Appreciate any nudges or tips please
