Ok, I got user. I think the problem I had was I was trying to do the box while others were on the box at the same time. It’s really frustrating but I tried. Thanks to the people giving out clues on this forum. It really helped. I going to now read hints to root and try to root it.

Any hints for root

Rooted my first box
I definitely learned a lot from this box.
Thanks to all people who posted clues.

Hey guys, just got user access, trying to use a m**** module on w***n but i’m getting a “cookie error” and “no session was created”. Am i on the right way ? I don’t mind some hints :s nvm, got it working. hint for this error: don’t forget ssl like i did…

ROOTED !

pm me for hints/nudges

Hi,
I think Ive got a different pass for the user from john… from previous replies I see others have it as c…8 but I got something totally different.
Any chance someone can point me in the right direction of where Ive gone wrong?

urrgh, spent longer than I wanted on user as Ive not had much experience with r***s… root was so much easier.

Hey Guys,

I am rooted!! But, with metasploit.

Is there any way to do it manually? I don’t want to use any Metasploit.
Cause, its not allowed in OSCP:(

Rooted! A big thanks to @ascannerdarkly @n1njaaa @Wh0aMn1c0 for the tips. Learned about r****. The root was fairly simple with the use of m********* and a CVE. Can anyone PM me how to do it manually?

Great box.

So I have user and have valid creds for W***** but when trying to use msmodules they never get me a shell amd I missing something?

Been bangin my head against this box all day, could use a nudge if someone wouldn’t mind.
I’ve gotten the been using what I think is the right exploit but cant seem to get it to work correctly.

I hope this isnt too much, but to get initial shell I found a script that I had to change for the user. Think about where you will land based on what you can enumerate using Re***-**i. Then update the script to match what you find.

I hope that helps

For msmodule and root is there anything special that needs to be done or just update user/password and vh***?

So, to get root after you have M*** do you have to exploit W**** and the pa******_c***** to change the pass?

I’m self learning pen testing and honestly lol user wasn’t that bad but I’m totally lost even with the hints. A lot of CVE out there but most don’t work because something isn’t installed and or I’m just hitting the wrong targets maybe?

Pm with a tip?

new to HTB and need a hint or nudge on what to do with r****-c** exploit. I read up on documentation and have been trying to understand the r**** exploit but I can’t seem to get a s** sh*** or any k** to work for me. IF anyone has helpful nudges or tips for a newbie please pm or comment!

This was my first box. Ended up doing the r****-c** stuff manually, so there was a lot of interesting things to learn there. :slight_smile: I had a ton of issues getting root the easy way… but it all boiled down to a typo on my part.
