got my user flag, really enjoyable adventure so far, but i was wondering.
Is binary exploitation the only way to root people have found so far, it is one of my serious shortcomings, I would like to delve into the topic one day but im pretty sure which my close to non existing skillset, this would be close to impossible task (if summer holidays with no responsibilities still existed… maybe just maybe.

Thanks for the great journey so far
Yes…BE is the intended way to grab root… Read @deviate comment… It was awesome…
Rooted! Really nice box, forced me to learn the basics of binary exploitation. Actually now I’m thinking of learning some assembly to fully understand how stuff work on low level.
good box, I really appreciate this type of hacking <3 perfect one to come out of my 6 months busy with live vacation back to hackthebox <3 missed you all
For user if anyone is stuck for many days like me because you couldn’t get the “hashes” mentioned by everyone here. Try resetting the machine. Somehow that crucial file becomes root:root 600
Hi all, I managed to get user on this box finally and it has been a very fun journey getting here. I keep seeing by e******n plastered everywhere in the comments and i’m not sure what I am supposed to be looking for to get started on root. any help would be appreciated
edit: Never mind, I know where to look but i am no where near ready for it on to the next box!
I finally got root!! Had one small error (1 character change) in my exploit code. Thanks for the help @deviate! This was a great box. Probably my favorite during my short time on HTB!
I am having the exact same issue what you had with the s** part. Can you just point me to the right direction on what the issue was? I am trying to debug it since two days now, but unfortunatelly I haven’t made any progress yet.
