Yeah I don’t know what people did to get root so fast lol pretty sure they didn’t go the intended route

As @VbScrub has said, that implies some unintended exploitation path that they’ve all discovered.

Unfortunately, I havent discovered it yet :smile: :smile:

That just ruins the fun if people take an alternate path that was unintentionally engineered by the box creator.

someone has a 0-day they aren’t sharing :wink:

yeah exactly.

Not sure I totally agree. It’s not all about following the exact steps the creator wanted you to take - that’s basically following a tutorial.

If you can find an alternate route, that’s part of the game and part of the learning. It means, for example, that these people know a much faster way to exploit this box than I do.

Yeah, it does kind of take the fun out of it if you just run one metasploit command and get root. There’s no skill or enjoyment involved in that surely. Maybe some people just care about getting the points

Sorry about the bad luck @VbScrub. I will admit I got it unintended, but once it’s patched I’ll go back and do it right

Ohhh someone just messaged me explaining the server is vulnerable to a well known exploit that gives you system straight away lol guess I need to apply more patches to boxes in future before submitting them. My bad.

I thought that might be the case, but I tried the obvious ones and they didn’t work!

Fell sorry for you @VbScrub . Will come back to it as soon as it gets the patch.

That just killed the blood game.
Waiting for patches to go and re solve it

Got root! Very awesome box!!!

Hack The Box

I also got root the unitended way… thanks for the box @VbScrub and sorry

did you actually do it the intended way then and not just use the I***** p**** script everyone else is using?

Is the box being patched right now, i assume it is vulnerable to e***lbe, but I am trying to do it legit but the box is basically unresponsive

Got root with the unintended way.

Once the box get patched, I will try the intended way.

could someone give me a hint? i am really noobie and even didnt find smbversion lol

Is there a script? I just enum and use the keys, knock on the doors and I saw that one was too open
