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…
i’m not able to read iptables just yet but I can guarantee you that it’s moderately nuts enough to be crushing most of what you are doing (or attempting) with the final steps. despite having the entire dir I don’t have the proper access codes.
sad.
if anyone wants to talk about the end let me know. #BeStrong
What a ride!
User was relatively easy (comparing to root). It took me several hours.
Root - a lot of features implemented just to keep you awake. It took me almost 2 days to figure everything out as I was not familiar with the technology and syntax.
As other people suggested: read the docs of the thing you’re trying to exploit.
hint:
For the second user, If you are unable to create working shell fast enough (it’s possible but kinda tricky) then don’t run, hide.
