Got user, well, very interesting, thanks for all the tips. Now on the road to root

Damnit. I’ve tried to upload that file back and forth for a couple of weeks. There was 1 little thing i not had tested… I payed to much detail to what was in the file without thinking about the consequences running it that way (hence successfully uploaded, without a file…).

Great Box @jkr

A box where you learn a little.

User

Getting the user is quite easy with the comments in this thread. However, the part that confused me was that of the plugin.

Root

The root part was amazing!
Frustrating but in the end exciting, it is only trial and error again and again until it is achieved. MM seems to be a complicated attack at first, but just look at so and save you certain steps in the network part. However, a fundamental part is to investigate and understand the attack.

A very good root track is this:

Finally rooted thanks to @siryarbles . Here are some hints that may help:

User: Everything you need is in this forum. In the upload part try to understand how the machine is processing U-Ls, what process first and what next and how htaccess works. Read the code carefully and check ad—s headers from examples.

Root: If you have already found this blog about a-t M–M is the right one. But you will have to do some changes. First, a-p sp—ing is not going to work. Remember network layers… There is a var that a-g uses in some cases. You might have already seen it with s— -l. You don’t need D-S sp—ing either. Just give to the box what it requests. You can use the same thing you found in that var but in your side. After that just read outputs and fix trees.

PM me for hints.

Did you check available pages?

I’m bashing my head against the wall trying to find the creds for the admin page. If anyone wants to throw a hint my way that would be greatly appreciated!

My advice to you… Use whats available in front of u from the begining u ll be amazed when it works PM if u still stuck

I got user without using any shell. I think I got it by the intended way. Just use S**P.

However, this is where I got stuck. I have the source code for all the visible php and that hidden php in h * * l a * * * n. Can I still carry on if I don’t have any shell?

Yes.

You mean I can get root without achieving a reverse shell for this challenge?

Hey,

I am able to create the tunnel and I am seeing the “A***n” option enabled. However, when clicking it, it’s not going anywhere.

I think I am having issues with the resolution since that option goes to on********n.b:6** and after some time it will time out.

Could someone please help me to understand what I am missing for this to work?

my experience by going to on*n.b:6 is Forbidden Access… and i guess i have used the params they have mentioned here. :confused:

What a box.
As others say it’s probably the most interesting box I’ve seen (although I’m a n00b)

Thanks a lot @jkr
I can’t even begin to imagine how difficult is to plan such a box

Thanks again

ive played with the zelda thing. i took a peek at the /home directory using webbrowser. then i tried zelda again to other places then get presented with “Failure”. i tried my working syntax that enabled me to peek but it also turned out to be “Failure”. anyone can help me please?

Hello,

I am still blocked at the upload part. I was having issues with the “Unknown Plugin Type”, but now I am sending requests and just getting 200 OK with no messages at all.

I reviewed the script, but not able to properly execute it. I know there is a mention about the h*****s rules but don’t get how to play with them.

Coould someone please help me to clarify what I am not seeing to properly upload my file?

Same here - currently working on that.
You might want to check the first line in other p***ns. It could be the reason why you don’t get any message and only a 200 HTTP code. So it probably has to be accessed in another way, not directly :smiley: - I’ve tried a bunch of stuff but didn’t find the correct way yet.

EDIT: got it :smiley: (i was right on the above)

I’ve enumerated as much as I can think to enumerate via sftp. I can’t figure out how some of you are retrieving the user.txt that way but I’m not too worried as I should be able to get it another way. Based on the comments, I’m pretty sure I’ve discovered all of the details I need to continue but I’m stuck at the tunnel part. That’s not something I’m very familiar with and I’ve tried several different methods but just can’t wrap my head around what exactly I need to do to get to the A***n page. I know it involves certain s** options, a browser setting and possibly a hosts edit. If someone could PM me a nudge on the tunneling part, I might have an aha moment!

Edit: Finally got the tunnel to work. Thanks @six2dez for the tip!

Rooted! PM if you need help

Rooted. Hooooly ■■■■ what a ride. PM if you need help. Didn’t really understand why everyone thought it was so great when going for user and was frustrated. After getting user and going onto root, i get it. Amazing box!!!
