As someone who has done 12 boxes so far, do you think this box would be too difficult for me?
I am interested because, although I have found RCE (so the OS and some certs etc.) a bit too easily, the box is still ranked as “Insane” difficulty.
Are there any parts that would be considered “too” difficult (compared to boxes like Ethereal or Nightmare)?
Thanks and sorry for not contributing directly to the box.
Rating this box was difficult because there’s such a diversity of skills and experience on HTB. Perhaps it should have been “hard” ? Give it a try regardless. The more you do, the easier they get as you learn.
Either I’m looking in different place, or I am missing something. I have some hashes of p***** format, but I can’t find something interesting in that place. Really can’t understand where I’m going wrong for rooting it
EDIT: Rooted! A fun ride indeed. This box does NOT require John/Hashcat. Respect to those who helped me out of this. Really amazing box @AuxSarge
Can anyone help me with the initial foothold? I read all the hints and checked the websites posted, but I feel like I am missing something obvious in terms of ssl. Please PM me.
Edit: I cannot believe I overlooked the basics of RCE. bangs head on the desk!
Edit2: Got user. On to root!
I think I’m following a rabbit hole - I have code execution but can’t seem to really leverage it how you’d normally expect. Any hints?
edit: i’ve enumerated all the binaries/users/configs and everything but can’t seem to send anything to myself. i feel like it’s so painfully simple too hahaha

You can PM me! I am working on root but can give you hints on user…
