Just got started - enumeration still going; found W***z**g while doing stuff manually is this the right path? Can we get RCE this way through debug or do I need to look harder at some errors? :slight_smile:

EDIT: Yup, now have shell as technoweenie, working on getting user. Canā€™t seem to find anything pertinent to privesc. I must be missing something. Iā€™ve run a few enumeration scripts and monitored processes to no avail. :confused:

EDIT 2: Well I got user.txt from the one with the God complex. Iā€™ve seen g****** and b***** e*********** mentioned in this thread much to my chagrin. I might give it a crack when Iā€™m feeling up to it. Thanks @Dmwong for the hint

was W*zg the right path???

Solvedā€¦

Hey guys, I got my shell but Iā€™m stuck on getting user, I have already run a script to do my enumeration, but Iā€™m sure Iā€™m missing something, any nudge would be appreciated. :slight_smile:

If only you had someone in your group who could help you shed some light on where you should cast your shadow.

Sure would be a good practice, like taking regular backups!

just a question why are we constantly starting a discussion about a box that is 23 hours from release just curious

Gotta hype it up bro. Donā€™t be a stiff :wink: hehe

Stuck on getting user but Iā€™m sure Iā€™m super close. Poked around in the darker recesses of the box and found something that yielded a potential result but I canā€™t go any further with it. Am I missing something else thatā€™s really obvious?
Edit - Nvm, looks like I was being too impatient.

Working on root. Looking for help.
Process dies with ā€œGot EOF while sending in interactiveā€ just as root shell spawns.

This does not happen on older ubuntu machines, but happens on 18.04.

Any hints how to prevent this? Feel free to PM. Thanks!

Stuck in the same place. Exploit works fine locally. Have tried multiple different ways to debug and either hangs or reaches EOF. Tried multiple different linked stuff as well.

Also stuck in the same place, have made it work on my machine with both a custom chain and the easier library way, both work for me, but neither work on Ellingson. Iā€™m using ssh with the toolset we are all using. Stage 1 works but stage 2 keeps failing with EOF.

Same boat here, if anyone wants to toss me a hint Iā€™ll take it. Learning a lot about the b** e* Ropes though.

Already found where to cast my shadow but hit a wall. What I thought should work for a ā€œbetter userā€ doesnā€™t
Can I pm you for a hint ?

I have already enumerated several times, I do not find anything that helps me to get the shell, I need help to find the right path

Am I going the right way using s** with i*_r** I found? Still getting password prompt when trying to login as user h**

I think itā€™s the right way.
Do you properly point your key with ā€˜-iā€™ ?

Yup.

youā€™re almost there but I think youā€™re having it backwards. Itā€™s more a game of what the server needs from you to log in without a password than the other way around

How so? Iā€™m giving it the i*_r** key. Am I missing something else?
