Rooted, crazy machine.
My hint for root:
If your command doesn’t work, try this command in another terminal(not Kali terminal)
Thanks for the hint @rholas @bertalting @htbmar

# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

The way to get root made me feel real stupid, took me way to long. I don’t understand the name tho, anyone care to PM me an explanation?

PM if you need any assistance.

Need some help for the user. In brief, I got the creds, played around with c*** file and accessed the user’s home folder over URI. I noticed that the home folder has some strange permissions too. PM please

Whoop! Just finished this machine! Enumeration is key, once again, to get the foorhold, and then Kali has all the tools you need to get from foothold → user → root!

Feel free to pm for help!

Finally got root :slight_smile:
thx @ PlayerThree and 0X44696F21

Can someone pm on root please. I see the file, I see the way to root, however everything I try just results in a normal shell not a root shell.

pm me bro

that might be terribly stupid question, but can someone pls point me to where to find the hash for the initial step ? I did get user and root and submitted these , but couldnt make out the initial hash to submit yet. am I missing something here, might be I dont see the forest due to the many trees around though

I just want to confirm that the way to root is the s*****-s****.s* file? I just need to make sure since I have been smashing my head into the wall for hours.

dm me bro

Got user in about 10 minutes. Root a little bit more (way too much).
Root, as someone as already pointed out, is a little bit tricky (but not hard) :wink:

Rooted. Can someone explain the deal with the gtfobin part and why it doesn’t work like that with a wider terminal?

the gtfobin part needs a certain size on terminal to be invoked…

Gotcha. Thanks @Shad0wQu35t for the boost.

To people who can’t get the root method to work: Try it locally. Then look at a certain limiter to work out why it won’t work here. It stops there from being a minor display problem: you need to introduce a problem.

Looked at the manual of the service needed for user.
I should be able to see one of the users’ home. However I’m no seeing any files.

Can someone please give me a nudge?

Rooted! Didn’t end up using that thing in *pasd so not sure if that was a rabbit hole. Also I ended up getting root accidentally with the “trick” other people are talking about in the thread. If there was a more “intended” way to do it that someone knows of would love a DM!

Happy to nudge a few people in the right direction.

can someone pm me for root? i know the gt…n, but dont know how tu put the puzzle together

Can anybody guide me to how to crack those “hidden keys”.
