Hey guys, about priv esc on this machine. I’m running john to the “k” file after converting it. It seems it’s going to take a while, any hint on if I’m in the right track or if I’m wasting my time cracking this is greatly appreciated.
If I understood which file you’re talking about you’re probably using the wrong wordlist. With the right one you’ll get it in less than 5 minutes. Try other default wordlists from kali.
