Finally took the time to try out this box, and rooted it.
I don’t feel the rating was appropriate for the steps need to get user. Honestly, root was easier than user. Maybe because getting root was similar to another active box.

Hi, I am stuck in root part. I have used k2j with the appropiate option and files. Then j*** shows that it would take about 3 days to complete… Idk what I am doing wrong, any help would be appreciated!
Same here, H* says 3 days and J* 3 years (yes, doing this in VM but also physical machine not better). Any nudges which of the 6 h****s is the right one to look at?
Update: J* found it after a good day. H* obviously missed it - ymmv
Stuck at binexp. I got the idea but it’s not working. I’d rather not discuss here because it’d be full of spoilers, may I PM anyone who’s done it and could help me nudge please?
For user, I don’t think you’re supposed to put code on the stack to execute yourself, but you should be able to put something else there.
For root, are you supposed to extract something from the j*g files?
Rooted! After all, this box is easy, but you need to really have the right ideas…
User: After overseeing typical CTF tactics, I was able to find what is needed. Trying to exploit it, I couldn’t wrap my head around it and decided at one point that I am simply to lazy for this stuff which opened an easier way.
Root: The path was clear but ignoring available stuff made it impossible…after using the additional information, the solution came quick.
After a bit of a hint around User for Safe after many many days of trying (got it to work locally but thats because I used a certain string that was available in that instance).
I am looking at a certain function that has been referenced in hints before but am stuck at a certain instruction in that function that I am trying to get to take me somewhere useful. I believe I have control of where its taking me but seems to crash. Am i on the right track or barking up the wrong tree?

You will be a king if you can write or read where ever you want or you need.

If you really have control of the function, I think it should do what you want it to before crashing.
