G’day again thought I’d post up some cryptic clues since this forum helped me heaps.
USER: All the answers are here already the only thing I’d add is that sometimes it’s better to improve on what’s already available.
ROOT: This stumped me for hours even though everyone said it was easy. And it is easy… Kind of. The best hint I got was ‘google Linux privesc text editor of your choice’ then I’d say you’re a medium of the way there.
You will need to think about lining up vulnerabilities and this my make more sense if you know the back end of Linux but I don’t so it was just trial and error of different ‘scenarios’
Hope this helps and doesn’t give too much away but I felt like the root privesc help on here was lacking.
