Got past the w**** thing a few days ago using s***ap, there’s a way to do it, you just have to hack some things together.
For the initial foothold, consider everything. If you see something that is interesting but you’re not sure what to do with it, consider spending more time on it instead.
Getting from foothold to user required enumeration of a lot of things. I knew what I was looking for, but not where. One of the last places I’d looked, really. The slow thing is slow, but you don’t really need to use it unless you’re stuck and need to find where you are.
Gotta get to root…
