So Iāve RCE and found something in the home directory that is encrypted using a āweak methodā but I canāt wrap my head around how to decrypt that. Iām trying to throw rockyou at it using some Python tool but thatāll take forever and isnāt guaranteed to work. Iāve also manually tried everything that looks like a password in the other files I found. Any hints where to look?
/Edit: Nevermind got user. Hint for others: Attack the weak crypto but donāt try to brute the fileās passwordā¦
I loved it. Somehow every step was logical and I didnāt get stuck for too long on anything, whilst actually learning a lot. @no0ne@Adamm thank you guys, had tons of fun.
Finally rooted. That was fun! And frustration, but mostly fun
Hint for user: straight forward, everything might be done without bruteforcing. Google errors, google ciphers, google vulnerabilities ā¦ you will get it.
Hint for root: Internet is not always right ā¦
Is it just me, or did the first step/foothold take longer than rooting the box, lol. Great box!!! But I did lose a patch of hair on my head because of the frustration of this box.
This machine is awesome! Havenāt āgottenā root yet, but I have my notes written and know what I need to do once Iām off work, so consider this box pwned!
Thanks for the box @no0ne and @Adamm, it was legit!
This was honestly the best HTB box Iāve done so far. I had a lot of fun going through the box. Every step was super logical there was no guessing involved. Thanks for creating such an amazing box @no0ne and @Adamm ! Hope you create more boxes in the future.
