Bastion

Rooted.

Thanks @L4mpje, learned a few things!

@L4mpje, thanks so much! This was just the right amount of challege for me (rather a beginner). Learned a lot and forced me to think of different ways for every step.

I ended up using a win-vm for the root.

Is 9b9cfb*.vhd the target vhd file? Could anyone tell me how to mount the vhd file. PM me. Thanks a lot.

Finally rooted ! Thanks a lot @GChester for all the guidance and nudging me in the right direction and @netzer0 for helping with smb :smiley:

@L4mpje thanks man, for a newbie like me i have learned so much from this box about windows enum . Loved it !

Hi guys, I need a helper. I ran smbclient but I only see the directories. I can’t find .vhd files, I don’t know how to go about it. I’m a princient but I don’t want to give up. Thank you

Great box @L4mpje , feels like real scenario

If you rooted without Windows, would you mind sending me a DM? I have some questions. I’ve rooted with Windows.

Sent you a PM

Not a bad evening, user and root done :slight_smile: Thanks @L4mpje, was a fun box!

I have the V** file m*****d, I’ve gotten the credentials. I did not see the user flag anywhere though, and I can’t get the creds to work anywhere. Would appreciate a bump.

I was able to get in ( root then user ) thanks to an insecure configuration file. However, I think that I probably missed some alternative ways to get in the box. Would someone possibly be willing to help me understand alternative methods if there are any?

Rooted ! :smiley:
But I want someone doing this machine without using a Windows VM, Juste linux.
I hope IppSec will see this comment :+1:

@trodix check here.

the vhd operation can be done without using windows. just use guestmount and s*******t .

This is my second box. Learned a lot from it! Just realized that the R**y scripts are not working when I decided to read this forum. Finally decided to use “THE” portable app to own the root. Did anyone get root without running the app? I’d like to know more.

Should anyone need help, PM me and I’m very willing to guide you without spoiling the fun.

I’ve tried this before using windows, but the command returned me some error relative to my mounted smb path, so I gived up and I tried windows next

someone can help me for the root.txt in PM?
ok user.txt but in S** file admin is dis****d

I met the same error. So I use qemu-nbd and mount -t cifs instead.

Is all this vhd talk necessary for root or user?
