You can access that dir in other way than www

Rooted!
This is my first box and i can say it was sooo cool!
User is way more difficult than root. So don’t stop if you feel down, you will get to it.
Feel free to pm me.
And big thanks to @Tellico and @Hilbert for helping me out.

Go back to the n*****.f file and look for dir that maybe interesting. Go back to dd usr and dig more.

So I’ve been able to get user but I’m a little lost as to where to go with the script. I understand that j********* is related to l*** but unsure how to capitalize on that. If you have some useful hints PM me.

Edit: Nevermind. I finally got it. New to linux so the command to abuse the commands from the script was the key. TIL

Any hints on user? I’ve read the config file and the manual over and over, tried all sorts of enumeration/paths, found the “private space”, but can’t get to any point where I use credentials or any other hidden directories. All the comments make it look simple but I’m banging my head against a wall here.

Try looking around in user’s home. Web is not the only way to access it…
PS: config might be helpfull

Oh my god. I got user pretty fast on this one, but I banged my head on root for about 3 hours straight with no luck. Went to bed, woke up, and literally in 5 minutes got root. In my case, less is NOT more…I used neither and for root, none of the tips here were helpful for me. I knew what everyone was saying, but I couldn’t make it work, so I did it my way.

Stuck on user for a while now. Can someone PM me some hints? Got shell as w*******. Looked at the n*****.conf and still can’t make much headway.

update:
got user flag. now on to root!!

Ok, got root, but a bit unsure why it didn’t work today’s morning, and is working now. I’l apprecieate if anyone could explain it in details on PM.

PM for nudges.

PS: This box is awsome! This is my second box and I really loved it! Linux is amazing :wink:

This is my first ever box, I managed to get the user but i have no idea how to get root. I know i need to do something with the .sh i checked gtfos but i cannot get root at all. I’m think i’m doing it correctly but tried so many times and it hasn’t work. Any nudges would be great. I’ve looked at using l* and jo******* so any help would be great

Can someone give me a nudge to get root. At this point any hint will help .

I turned off the PC, walked around for a while and came back. After looking for a few minutes I couldn’t believe how I hadn’t seen the solution for the first user. Rooted.

GTFObins is your best friend.

Rooted (…finally). Initial foothold is easy. User took a while, read the conf over and over but didn’t see the path I had to follow…until I finally did. After that it was easy. Root gave me a headache, the nudges in the forum posts lead me to the right file to cat. After that I was a bit misdirected by the mentions of less. Once I had it almost couldn’t believe how simple it is. All in all, learned a fair bit about linux and permissions

Finally got USER for my very first box :slight_smile: Learned a lot. But somethings took way too much time. but I love the box so far. now the hunt for root starts …

Can anyone help me with user over PM?

Edit:
got help from @Nism0 and @menri005 , ty!

Hi everyone, I am quite new to system hacking and have been strugly with root since more than 2 days now - until I read the man to the j********l really carefully and understood the small window hint (mentioned several times already).
Thanks everyone for the great hints and support, as well for newcomers like me!

Stuck on getting root. I found the s*****-s***.h file and the hint at GBs site. also tried the terminal size thing to cut only to the needed parts. also found the hint in j********l manual. but I don’t get it to work. Any tips for me?

So good machine! Leaned a lot.
PM if you need a nudge, but tell me first your progress and what have you done.
