Can someone PM me, I need a nudge on the initial shell. I have the RCE through x** vuln, but can’t seem to get anything working for a shell…

What to do at first? I am stuck for 2 hour thinking what to do. Nmap doesnt show ports and directory enumeration are slow.

you don’t need a shell YET, try to grab something you could EAT, then use it for something you’ve already been there

Is am writing script to interact in internal service used python and bash scripts to do it, but they both failed. Help?
EDIT: If you writing script with sockets or call and it is not working - consider using telnetlib, simple and efficient.

I used python and it worked just fine.

The box is easy but very unstable as some have pointed out. Wasted a lot of hours during the initial step even though I was on the right path.

What a fun box.
Thanks a lot to @Gioo & @Cneeliz for the journey

I learned a lot during the user stage
Root part was too simple imo

The need to reset the box every time the service crashes (and you know it will crash a lot) was a bit annoying and I’m pretty sure could’ve been solved easily

Overall very nice box
Thanks a lot

Could anyone give a hint with initial foothold? I did some enumeration, have an idea of what is happening, but don’t know how to exploit it

  • Very good machine, thank you to the creator of the box for his work. :slight_smile:

There is something broken around the service. After few requests it stopped talk to me, I waste 2 days on trying to do one simple thing. So finally I moved from VIP to free servers and it works pretty well there. I got what I need in no time. So if you are on VIP and you are stuck, maybe you should consider jumping into free servers for this one.

I’m on free and i don’t approve this advice xD

You have no choice if it doesn’t work at all.

rooted , this box is really good , thanks for the box creators

I’m stuck at the bdchecker, I can run it (or better have somebody to run it for me) and read its output but I can’t execute any other command but the one it explicitly says I can run, and I don’t know if there’s a way to exploit this single command or retrieve something useful with it…

I tried several command concatenation, I tried to look for a way to make it produce some arbitrary text and save it on disk… I’m running out of ideas. Any hint will be greatly appreciated. :slight_smile:

just rooted! message me for help

Very long final step … slow ****

Hi guys,

Just a quick update:

I am keeping an eye on this thread to know what’s up with the box. I’ve read that a lot of people are experiencing that the privesc part is unstable. After a couple of checks I did locally I can confirm that that’s the case. This is something we did test thoroughly though, but after the testing procedure we made a small mistake which resulted in the privesc part being unstable. I’ve messaged a moderator on HTB and we’re working on a fix.

Sadly I’m not able to remove the experience from people who already rooted the machine, but to all of you who did own the box pre-patched; consider yourself a go-getter :slight_smile:

Thanks for your feedback.

Do you guys think that this box is bugged? Nothing comes back, even after restarting the box. Someone from here confirmed my script.
I’m on 10.10.14 .

Edit: tried on the Free server too.

Can someone that completed this box, retry it and confirm that it works? I spent a crazy amount of time on what seems to be a bug…

Edit: It works! :slight_smile: …typo…

This final part… its a different version but I have no idea what it actually is… lol
