i could really use a nudge on initial foothold tried looking at the certificate and found a domain name which returns an error, tried brute forcing the pages for different links but no luck either.
Can someone please point me in the right direction
Edit:Found the login page,was able to to get credentials but not sure where i can use those tried 22 and login but no luck can anyone help me
It was pleasure to cope with this machine. I haven’t known this type of fruit earlier, perhaps the climate is not sufficient for growing it in my area. I enjoyed that I needed to develop a script to get user access, and develop a simple program to provide root access.
Stuck on login page. Using repeater, but always respond the same… also found /h…p which redirects. Any idea where to move? Bruteforce login password? found script to inject into nosql dbs… but it doesnt work… i am stuck

I was stuck there for a long time as well. Make sure that the script uses the same method as when you try to login via the browser…
Finally rooted. Thank you @MrR3boot for the machine. Was really interesting to hack into user… Root was straight forward if one have experience with priv escal… I dont so have learned quite a lot knew on both stages.
Some hints on user:
Script in the internet wont work out of the box… but it will give you idea. then just work with regex, and you cannot find all chars of password, but thats not a problem
I rooted mango yesterday, although I didn’t get the shell. I am still deciding if I liked the box or not.
Guessing the technology was a pain and I only found out because of what others said on the forum. I guess this part makes it a real life machine since normally you don’t know the technology either.
Are there any tools like sqlmap to detect these kind of technology? (Can someone pm me the answer?)
Root was rather easy, the default enum tool called it “interesting” and after that it was quickly over…
i can’t find the login page. so far I found one vhost and started enumeration on that. But nothing that looks promising. How should one start looking when not using dirbuster? Seem like I’m not getting the past hints.
hey, Im stuck at the login page. I got the creds for the first user and nearly everything for the other except 2 chars missing. I tried to guess them like i did for the one missing in the first but no success. Is there something i miss maybe?
Kind of irreal security concept... isnt'it ? well its not. So many apps sitting in cloud using same technology which mightbe vulnerable to this kinda issue.
ok… i should choose my words more carefully:
i’didn mean that the box is not real-life-like…
and i absolutely agree, that it is rather “realistic” to find such vulnerabilities…
but i found it kind of “surreal” to ask the authentication-method for the credentials…
so:… sorry & thanks again…
“learn, hack, have fun”… did work for me…
if anyone needs help with the scripting aspect, let me know. make sure to show me your script and i’ll try to help as best i can. made some really simple mistakes in mine that took a couple hours to troubleshoot.
Rooted! Had much fun with the machine, kudos to maker
Tips for user
Enum thoroughly
If something seems like mostly frontend app it’s probably a rabbit hole
The rabbit hole might be also useful to show what kind of technologies are preffered on the server
When you finally stand at the door forget about all the “similar to mango” tips. It’s seems really clever when you already know the answer but not really helpful if you don’t. (or maybe I’m just dumb)
Think like a hacker instead. Try to bypass the security in different technologies’ payloads. Think back to the rabbit hole. What kind of technologies were used there?
After bypassing the security think how to exploit even more on the vuln.
Tips for root:
Pretty much straightforward. Basic enum will show you the way
This. I’m getting two 4-character passwords for the two users, but I’m pretty sure both are wrong. I’m missing something small…

Can someone who has solved this please DM to discuss the password regex details, currently have my script responding to the requests, however I am struggling to pass it in the right way.
