Asking for a PM nudge when it comes to my*** binary cant seem to find anything

Same here… this drives me nuts :frowning:

Hint for people stuck at finding the right technique to exploit the binary: Google the question the binary outputs and you will find a very similar example from a CTF where also the technique is mentioned and partially explained.

Thx. Found it. But in this case if we really have to do R**, this box should be at least a medium one…

Yeah I believe you’re not alone with this opinion. Okay, if you know your R**/binex well, the 15 minute User Blood is possible and for those people this might be easy. But the ratings of the box show that many people probably disagree with the rating. I also think that binex shouldn’t be on a 20 points box. Also the box isn’t very fun at all so far… Ellingson was very awesome from the whole theme. I didn’t mind the binex there at all… but this box? No fun at all. Just an Apache and xinetd slapped on some Debian box and a comment added somewhere where many people felt trolled hard. If that’s the new “standard” for HTB submissions then I could probably write a box generator that’d deliver the same stuff.
So far I’m still stuck at the root stage… but I guess that also has to do with some more stupid trolling or sth…

Hi i got stuck on this one, do i have to use a BoF ?!?!

i noticed wenn i send a long value to the port i dont get the repsone i usualy get there…
but i have no clue how i can get the binary… to create a exploit…

maybe somone can push me litle bit in the right direction

thx

I am also thinking about same …Also downloaded the binary on my local system and use same U r talking about and also experience what BoF gives…still thinking about it

I’m stuck here as well :frowning: Looks like a BoF, but where to get the bin???

Hope this comment helps you to get the binary…

Would anyone mind dropping some names of techniques which i must have overlooked.

Turn off 90% of your brain and just right-click.

Thanks. Heading over to the shame corner.

Never mind. Maybe you will have more success with the following part than me. Good luck!

hey all has anyone had any joy getting the seg fault to happen within gdb, i keep getting"Warning: not running or target is remote

Any hints for root? Stuck at it for a long time. Tried breaking the hash, but nothing,!

Rooted.

Having binary exploitation usually makes me give the box an automatic like, however the rest of this box is pretty bad; I can now see why this box has such bad ratings now.

For user: The source is your friend. Once you get it, remember why this box is rated easy: You don’t need to go through the entire ret2libc-leak-calculate process. If system’s provided to you, but you don’t have the shell string, maybe it’s possible to provide one yourself?

For root: Just using k***2j won’t work. One of the images needs to be used in conjunction with it.

Thanks to @snowscan and @xdaem00n for your help!

I have my exploit works local in my host, but doesn’t works in remote server…Anyone can give me in DM some hits? Thanks…

How even this box got approved. wasted my precious time today on this. Its simply copy of previous ones…

we were thinking the same thing…

User:

  • If people are struggling with running the binary with peda - peda sets follow-fork-mode to child whereas vanilla gdb has it as parent by default. You may wish to sed -i 's/follow-fork-mode child/follow-fork-mode parent/g' ~/peda/peda.py (or whever your peda is located).
  • Everything you need is contained within the binary itself.

Root:

  • I’m sure you don’t need a hint to find the correct vector.
  • When you use the right things, it shouldn’t take long at all to get a result.

Lifesaver, been trying to troubleshoot that forever…

I haven’t done a BOF before. What would be a good first timer tutorial that covers what I need to know for this box? (Feel free to PM instead of posting here if it’s spoiler-ish).

Rooted. Didn’t like this box at all – almost wondering how it even got selected in the first place? Feels like a repeat of another box cough (some will know which I’m referring to).

Anyways, hints:

user
As others have been saying, provide your own shell for yourself. Once you find what you are looking for and break it down, you’ll be able to understand how to get your shell. Don’t read too deep into the binary.

root
Check out what is already given to you. Enumerate it. What is it? What can you do with something like this? This step is extremely CTF-like. Run through each, carefully. You’ll know what to do in the end. Afterwards, give yourself a fully interactive shell and make the switch.

just rooted. not a bad box.

hints for user: make sure to inspect the binary to see what’s provided.

hints for root: focus on the tool and what you have in front of you, don’t “over-enumerate”, it’s pretty fast if you’re doing the right thing.

pm for hints
