Rooted!

Fun box, especially for a beginner like me. Thanks to @sChr0D1NGer for the nudge for user#3, as well as everyone else who dropped hints in this thread. My turn…
Initial: Do your homework; I hear google is great for that. If you’re having trouble searching, switch up your list and walk away for a little while; you may come back to something interesting. Once I had it figured out, I had to take the main part and recreate it; for some reason it nor M********t was not working for me with this box.
User 2: Don’t stray too far from the landing zone; the answer is closer than you think. You do not need an interactive shell to get where your going, either.
User 3: I had to ask for help on this one. Keep enumerating, and think inside the box. Also, if you’re creative (read: lazy), you won’t have to ask your friend john for help.
Root: What’s your favorite superpower? Get the fudge out of my bins and tell me!
