Heist

okay. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. haven’t even got user.
I’ve looked around the box. cracked two easy hashes, but cant get the third. been running hashcat for hours and i feel like im doing everything wrong. (90,000 R U, and 35,000 via a custom R U list with only long passwords)
everything i’ve read here is not helping with this particular box.
can someone DM/PM me with tips.
thanks

EDIT: thanks to @mikensen for correcting my hashcat syntax :slight_smile:

How to crack cisco secret 5 hash please PM! Gracias.

I spent a lot of time trying to get this to work with native PS or Metasploit. The trick for me was to use E***-W****. If any one know why this worked with E***-W**** and not native PS or Metasploit, please MSG me so we can chat.

Get rooted this box. Overall really good box. I hate when I can’t get a box because I choose one of 6 tools that does that same thing, and picked wrong. This is an easy (good) box, but you have to pick the right tools. PM me if your stuck…

Finally rooted :slight_smile:
Hint for user:
Check all ports and all credentials

Hint for root:
Animal have something inside.

Ps.
Is there any other way to root this box without d…p animal? Please PM, I’d like to learn something new :slight_smile:

edit : nvm. this box is the lesson

Nice machine, would have never gotten user or root without the forum.

There are several encryption methods that use MD5. You should choose the proper one.

I just put it in a file and started john with the wordlist option + the file that has the hash

Rooted

User : In front of you.
Root : Something that shouldn’t be there, but it has.

rooted this machine if anyone needs help you can PM me

Just rooted this machine big thanks to @AzAxIaL

Finally rooted! That was a steep, frustrating learning curve! Highlighted how much I have to learn with Windows/Powershell boxes!! New tools and new techniques, thanks @MinatoTW for the challenge :slight_smile:

edit: rooted - was overthinking it

Finally rooted . It was my first machine , learned quite a lot . Thanks for nudges from fellow hackers.
PM if need help.
