Question is which user you are so far. If you just got user.txt you will need to become another user before root. Your enumeration as that new user should point you the right path on the system.
For everybody: Change file names when trying to get the final step to root running! It cost me hours to realize that modifying the same file over and over will not trigger execution… My fault!
Finally got root! Although user flag was a bit CTF-like, it was fun and taught me a few things about the technology.
Already lots of good hints here, read them thoroughly if you got stuck at any point…
PM me if you want any help, but please indicate what you have achieved so far. I will try to help without spoiling anything.
Got the root.txt and root shell. Cool box, PM for nudges.
I would be interested in talking to someone who queried all the data needed instead of dumping the entire database like I did. I would like to learn how to query the database for what I’m looking for in a cleaner manner.

gah thought i had the l** but i think someone else may have triggered it for me, is anyone around to help me get this right? Im so close to ki**** i can taste the bananas
got it with some help from @scottrainville if your stuck try changing the file name
Hi, I believe I have root and I am the second user currently. However, I am running into an odd error message coming up:
"OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: If the number of processors is expected to increase from one, then you should configure the number of parallel GC threads appropriately using -XX:ParallelGCThreads=N "
when I run my command.
Could someone help me out as I can’t edit the file that has that config option in it so I’m not sure how I can get around this error… could I get a PM from someone who has root on this box for some help please?
Nice and relatively easy box - esp. compared to the nightmare of Ghoul I did before.
Stick to the roots of what you find, do some research of the api on the upper port and find the needle in that haystack
for root: There’s no need to change any config! If you do you (and all others!) won’t succeed. Read what you find in that specific dir after getting another user, do some more research and put all together. It’s quite straight forward.
hello all. I am in as k****a I can see a thing that is running and uses input and out files. I have been trying to create my own but no luck. Can someone PM me a nudge?
