I have owned the machine. The way I go to get root & user it’s weird. I compare it to the wirte ups available and no one did like me. Someone who ownd the box can pm me to discuss of it ? Thanks in advance!
I have user. I have enumerated some processes running as root and have a theory to get to root, but my ideas haven’t translated to any pwnage. Can someone DM me a nudge?
Going for root: found something weird running that had a name that made sense wrt to the username. There’s an privesc exploit for it, but it says I don’t have the permissions…
The look for something unusual sounds like a good plan, but after doing LinEnum I have pages of stuff that looks unusual to me
I hate to ask for help but if someone could spare a minute for me to see if what I’m doing should work? I am working on the i** service but the stuff I’m trying is failing and I thought for sure I had it figured out.
Got it. This thingy demanded no exploits from me at all, just meticulous enumeration. Notice the unusual. If only other ones were so straightforward)))
This is the most ironic box ever. I spent longer on this box than others even though the methodology for rooting other boxes is much more difficult.
I believe the name ‘Irked’ is supposed to come from the idea that there are some proc names that look like they should be ideal targets for priv esc, then you run the script and it just dies.
Then after hours of enumeration I just ran one line and got root.
If anyone is having trouble getting root I’m sure you can get it after reading this! Stop looking at hard stuff and imagine it being as easy as the remote exp you used to get shell.

The name comes from one of the services on the box.
