I believe , as a new user , there is no consistency in labeling the difficulty of a box in htb … I tried many other easy boxes and those were easy …This is definitely not an easy box …

I got root flag but would like to know how to get a root shell in this machine …Please pm me …thnaks

Stuck on user. I have gone through the source page but could not see anything, i went through the files and directories…nothing. Help

I’ve got reverse shell but can’t seem to get user or root shell but stuck on www-data privilege, Any tips on privilege escalation for this box?

wow…just got the root shell …happy to help

Well, it was very easy to get the user flag for me, but I got stuck on the root for quite a long time. And although I have the flag I am dissapointed, but maybe I just didn’t took the right path. Is there anybody who really understands this box and is willing to write me PM?
Anyway thanks for the small hints in the beginning of this thread!

@sillydaddy Kind of a big spoliler isn’t it?
However thanks. I did check this, obviously not carefully enough, I will take a look again.

Hello…
I already have user and I am able to read root.txt file, but I haven’t got root shell. I have tried a lot of things for getting root shell but nothing works. So, if someone could give me a hint in the right way I’ll be very grateful…

got user and root. learned some neat tricks

test

Got user.txt, i was doing the p*******.txt wrong lol

Got root after using p**y to see what was going on in that directory. Curious if there’s a way of doing that without downloading a tool.

Hey, Got the p*******_b***** file, and found the format B***2 but I don’t know how to do next, because just changing the extention doesn’t change the file format.
Hint will be appreciate, PM :wink:

Got the txt. Can anyone give me a hint on getting the root shell?

Finally got the root.txt without root shell.

I assume everyone did the initial shell the same way upload and catch? Tons of hints in the comments if you’re having trouble. Were you able to upgrade to fully interactive? Did anyone get any of the shell upgrades to work?

ok guys, i’m stuck on where to look to see what is updating it and r*t files , i’m not the greatest linux user so a lot of this is new to me, any useful PM’s on what i need to look for would be appreciated, given the name of the box i figured its going to relate to this program but cannot put the pieces together to work it out.

Never mind , its just dawned on me and i’ve got root…
