got root, learned a ton about a-g

Can you recommend some links? Was searching for reference material but did not really find good stuff about the inner workings.

Did anyone ever answer this? There is a lot to be learned about the tool but it seems people will end up spending a lot of time hunting for the information rather than learning the information.

I have reverse shell access as www… am i supposed to elevate to user before root? I cant find a user flag as of now. Any nudge would be appreciated…

The user flag is easier to get than a reverse shell - if nothing else the admin pages give you the details you need to log in and get the user flag.

finally got root, i’ve learn so much

If anyone has any clues on why I keep getting 403’s with loh tu**** at high port I’d appreciate a pm. Not sure if it’s on my end or something else.

Edit: Thanks to @Smoothz for the help. If you are running into a similar issue, check the syntax on your s** command. Should be 127 in there and ports should match.

Edit: User.txt got. But still don’t know the p****in type it wants.

Cannot upload. Help wanted.

BTW, I know how to enable a button in web.

Spend a bit of time downloading the other plugins and watch how that works, then read how the plugin you want to target works, with extra attention on what it is looking for.

The message about plugin type is a bit misleading. Focus on the headers first.

stuck at privilege esc part please help me for that

Hey all.

I finally got root. This is probably the hardest box I’ve done.

This is the first box that I’ve asked people for help and I just want to say that the community has been great. helpful and patient.

I want to thank @avetamine for help getting the upload and @AzAxIaL for help with getting root.

Thanks for a great forum.
come pm

Finally rooted, regarding privesc, dont overthink it, carefully pay attention as to how and where the manager look for the packages and do it.

@TazWake The question is: I don’t know how to download the plugins. Could you please give me some hints via PM?

I dont think this is a spoiler - the plugins have a little link next to them which says (dl) - if you click the link, you download the raw plugin for analysis.

I would also use burp a lot on this bit so you can see exactly what headers are sent and what, if any, redirection happens.

Finally rooted! Oh man what a ride. Awesome machine @jkr - thanks a lot !

For the privesc it was easier than I thought in the end. I would very much argue that you do not really need this blog post everyone is mentioning (unless I was reading the wrong one…). I am wondering if this was meant?

User: you don’t need a reverse shell
Root: prepare to learn lots about packaging…

got root…thank you so much for those who helped me…pm for hint…

Oh boy and I just lost, I connect to S**P but I can’t get any useful things to happen. If anyone has any hints they want to PM me feel free, I need all the help I can get for user

Ok, that box was extremely difficult. I have done a similar attack on a pentest as is required to get root on this, but it was still a challenge.

Recommendations: User:

  1. Just because you can’t ssh like you normally do doesn’t mean you can’t use ssh.
  2. You need to be able to read code. When you find a place to upload something, that is the right path, but you need to modify the URL that you are posting to in order to make this work. It should be relatively clear by reading the code of the page as to what is expected in the request, so make the URL match that.

Root:

  1. If you see you can do a few elevated commands, that is correct; you need to find a way to leverage those commands to get an RCE.
  2. Read about the server that the commands you can execute interact with and look at creating one of your own.

why am i getting no errors after ssh but it just shows a blank page?
