after wasting a whole day enumerating the machine after getting my initial shell as h**, i tried to reset the machine to make sure that everything is fine…
well it wasn’t, some idiot changed the group of a certain file that i was supposed to read to move forward!
just reset the machine if you REALLY ran out of options and enumerated everything
I can pop the final shell on Ellingson but lose elevation. The usual workarounds don’t seem to work, which makes me think this rodent has some new tricks.
Am I just bad at r*p or is there a new trick since its xenial cousin?

You’re not losing anything; you never had it to begin with. The thing you’re talking about gives the process the ability to run elevated, but doesn’t guarantee or enforce that. The binary in question has to call the appropriate functions to elevate itself, and this one simply doesn’t do that, meaning you have to.

Thanks! I think I’ve got that part working but will double check it’s executing properly. Good to know it’s probably just my mistake, and not down one of the rabbit holes I was getting sucked into.

This happened to me as well. Not sure if it’s a misconfiguration with the box or someone is messing with the file permissions, but had to reset a couple times before I finally found the file with the correct permissions.
For root:
Is anyone available to help with “Got EOF while sending in interactive” for Stage 2?
