Can anyone PM on how there were able to connect to the imap server using thundermail or other gui client. I have got the credentials. This cmd is working out for me, having problems fetching message from the drafts folder.
EDIT: I was finally able to use cmd to get the files. Thanks to @m0ckhurts who was kind of enough to supply me this article Connect to IMAP server with telnet | Tech Bits. For those that still prefer GUI, you can use evolution the email address is @localhost. Now its time to take a look at this files and see what the fuzz is all about cracking some file using python. Good luck to me.
I’d just like to thank you for this post. I have been bashing my head on a wall trying to receive the mail from telnet, I chose the GUI route in the end, couldn’t get it working with thunderbird so used evolution. Now onto this decryption!!
I have just r00ted this box. I just want to thank some of the hints in here, I found the initial stages quite difficult as i’m new to CTF style boxes. I was majorly kicking myself reading about “the password being right in front of you”…!! haha!! Root was really quick and simple… As everyone has stated, don’t look any further than your house. Thankyou to the creator of the box, you certainly gave me some initial headaches
Could use some assistance if someone has a second. I can’t figure out why this file is not decrypting properly. It just decrypts to gibberish every single time and I need someone to sanity check my script.
EDIT: Got it. Turns out, as I suspected, I’m just an idiot.
I’m stuck on root. I’ve read through the thread and I think I see what’s right under my nose, but not sure what to do next. I’ve read up (and bookmarked) plenty of blogs about priv-esc, but I’m honestly grasping at straws.
If someone could PM me a hint (or even a good resource) I’d appreciate it.
PM I think I am close for the root component. Without giving too many spoilers I currently have two files from a directory that I think can be used to crack it. One is a .j*** file and another is a .d* file but I have no idea how to get the info out of them unless there is another way.

I cannot find something inside the mail servers(seems empty), neither i can connect to the web portal with those creds… . what am i missing?
f you are sitting on your computer writing an email to your friend and suddenly you accidentally close your browser, where do you think it is possible to see what you were writing again?
Got the creds and logged in to webmail. The inbox is showing 0 messages. Can’t find any messages. Am I not looking at right thing?
