Registry

Finally got there. Holy ■■■■, that privesc was so, so annoying. There are so many little “features” on this box that are just designed to be irritating.

PM for hints; not my favorite box.

Got root… Finally!!!

Funny box… Needed some clue from this board to get (back) on track, once figured it out how to proceed, it’t just a matter of RTFM ;).

Well, this was interesting…

I found the creds to the second shell before anything else, so I thought I could hit root directly… but Computer says no. So I had to go back and do it the way it is designed to be… ■■■■ it :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyway, hints:
user: do your enum. There are obvious clues, then google and find a step by step article on what to do.
root: find the one thing that really matters from your enum, and just follow the steps to be able to do what you want to do.

Thank you @thek great learning experience && nice box :slight_smile:

Is the /bt/bt giving you guys 502 Bad Gateway error ? or is it just me

Can someone pm me to help me please. Thanks

I’m on the final point any hint on how to get rshell as user wd tried bind and reverse for million types with no luck managed to get command execution though.

I’m in the last step for root and trying many things to have my new she’ll but each time I have an 504 error . Are the box broken or it’s normal ? …

Fortunately User.txt was quite easy to get. But now I’m stuck at root :frowning:

Can someone clear out one thing to me.
On my way to root I’m able to get rev shell as that -d user.
However the shell is buggy lags in responses.
Am I doing something wrong or the box is just buggy?

Could use a nudge on the initial enumeration. I’ve found /b*** but can’t seem to find anything useful there…

Should I be using something other than directory-list-2.3-medium.txt?

Go thro the nmap results again …This time very carefully :slight_smile:

Anyone else having constant term lock-up when ssh’d in a user?

@ow1joker
Same here and I’m on VIP server.
Also my other shell is acting up the same.
Not sure why. Trying to figure out.

Which user? I have no problems on free eu-1

The b one and the w one.

User was fun! Really like the box so far, thanks @thek
that’s an interesting way to learn the app used on this box

user tips: (almost) everything can be done manually. no special tools or techniques needed. find out what app is installed on the box and start reading the docs. you want to fetch the thing. after that spin it and look what you’ve got inside. all you need is the key and to check every file in ~

root: find the app and login, check out the file at the app’s dir, you want to have access to that user who runs the command, serve…

Great box, really liked it =)

Very fun box @thek !
Thanks @lukice for the priv esc nudge.

adding to the great hints already found here.

  • User: think about the title and containers. Did you check what was that garbage data you enumerated? Read the docks!
  • Root: you’re probably right to be thinking about that file you found, who can run it? what does it run? read the docs, check the rest :wink: remember you can serve if you build.

Feel free to reach me for a nudge if you feel stuck.

I agree, this is annoying. I know exactly what to do for root, but I can’t seem to make a connection even for reverse shell (have browser based shell…) could somebody give me a hint? Probably some strange firewall rules…
