Finally got root, what a great box. 5 days straight of learning.
If i could give one piece of info that i could not find easily was all commands people gave to get the time from the server did not match to my time, so clock_skew was killing me.
This command worked for me
net time -S 10.10.10.161 -U “”
Am I supposed to brute force the hash? (At the last step) Because rock doesn’t pick that up.
Nope, no bruteforce needed.
Rooted, PM me for help. Definitely a difficult box.
Man, I’m stuck after days and reading all of this. I have two users, svc and h******s and only the latter seems to do anything with the dog. I see a route to admin (I think) but after reading through these comments I’m thinking I need to create a new user now? I’m not sure why or how - can someone help me out?
Wow. This is one of my favorite machines to be honest. VERY realistic, and definitely not an easy box!
User: impacket and nmap?
root: dog & impacket because it is not that easy.
BTW, impacket has different versions, sometimes you may face an issue just because you are using one version instead of the other so keep that in mind.
Can someone PM me to help me with root? I been stuck for about a week or so. I have a graph from the dog and believe I know the path to get where I need to be. I’m assuming I am stuck at trying to add another user?
Took me 8 days after user to get root and the hints in the forum are enough to get you there. I think there might be multiple paths on this one, but I suggest you not get bogged down in powershell.
this box was amazing! Thank you very much! more of that please. P.M. me if you need a nudge but study the graph, learn about what it actually means and google!
