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
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 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.
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
I am onto root, I can see the odd process, but i can’t execute it, download it or dump it. Is there some other way to interact with it, that i’m missing?
Edit: Found what to do with it (thanks to @keyos1 ), but i can’t forward anything to me, as some have suggested in the post. Any nudges?
