I've found the creds and read the contents of n******* dir but can't see anything to use. Is it the ht****** section or the ho****** section that I should be looking at? I noticed I can view a private space but no where to use creds.
any nudges from here?
EDIT: I've manged to find another interesting dir, the hunt continues
My feedback for Traverxec:
The box is almost straightforward the annoying thing is that web server keeps dying not sure if that is because people are dossing or some kind of weird unstable machine.
anyway here is how I see the steps to root.
initial: recent CVE after light enumeration gives you quick win
User: enumeration of of the door that let you in gives you a bit of usefull info.. for me this is sligtly CTF-y and requires a bit of guessing but once found gives you the user with a bit of extracting/cracking
Root*: quick enumeration would lead you to something.. if you are not familiar google it, try it locally and go back and root the box
Make sure you do not maximize your terminal screen a lot .. sometimes LESS maximizing is better
haha. first the box is down for pretty much most of first day. Now I know exactly how to get root.... and it doesnt work. I know it is the way but it doesnt work... so annoying.
To echo a previous comment, you need to try a different terminal if you are stuck at trying to get root and aren't making headway. Things will function/display differently.
No idea why this is the case, but it cost me well over an hour of time.
Thanks for the machine @jkr ! I wonder where did you get the inspiration for the root flag, it reminds me one of the levels of bandit, the one that i struggled with the most !
I say something strange when i got in the user, hints from the guys on this thread helped me a lot ! i think they provide enough info already ! I would chat with someone who got root too ! the usual thing that i do didn't worked, but i just tried something that seemed weird on my enum and it worked, coupled with the hints on the forum and got it !
Struggling with what to do with credentials of d****. I have RTFM multiple times and have the credentials cracked, just not quite getting what I have the ability to do under the unprivileged user....
Struggling to crack creds. The usual tools finish almost instantly with a false alarm.
Anyone with a PM to help with syntax? Feel like I'm doing something silly.
It's not a false alarm, it's just not used for quite what you expect.

Any assistance with root? I know about G*Bs, the dir to place the file in and that p*** has something to do with it but unsure from here

Rooted.
Learnt something new from this box. Thanks @jkr !
Hints: The box name is a huge hint. Check permissions and read that specific file that has some interesting details.
Root: Quite easy. Once you get user, you will find another interesting file with an obvious line.
Feel free to ask for help.
Can anyone confirm if i should look at cron jobs to get user ?
John is not helpful, any tips to get user please.
