After HOURS of banging my head trying to get user I found what I was looking for. I overlooked the file MANY times because somebody changed the permissions for the file… Had to reset the machine to get the permissions back where they belong.
Thanks @Razzty for all the help!
I’m pretty sure it’s not malicious attacker, it’s just a slight oversight in the box’s design. If someone from HTB with the ability to fix boxes wants to PM me, it’s easy to fix.
Until then, if you’ve got a full shell but can’t find your way past h**, check the box’s uptime. If it’s over 6 hours I would reset it.
