can someone give me an hunt for the foothold? i have enumerated ports, services, i’ve got an interesting service, but it seems i can’t do nothing with it
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I just got my first root flag and user flag
(after countless hours of staring at the computer screen and wanting to bash my head with wall cuz of VB code and blank file Thanks )
MY FIRST SYSTEMM YESSSS Without ASKING (well except the hints on this forum)
Just wanted to brag cuz I dont have many friends lol xD
Wow, what a challenge @VbScrub. Thank you for this box!
Finally root’ed as well and for me far from “easy” as mentioned before.
Mainly as I have limited windows filesystem knowledge and would never have found the key to the 0 byte file without the hints here in the forum. Bit everything is in the pages here before. I didn’t had to ask somebody by PM and I see this as a personal progress.
Even after reading a lot about the “trick” behind it, as I’m working on a pure Linux machine, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to get to the juice.
But as a hint: you can do almost everything on the box itself. No need to spin up a Win-VM. It’s all about knowing and understanding the commands you can use there. And here I learned a lot as well, so thank you again.
root dance - I did try to reverse the programs but I still need to learn. Thank you to someone in the forum for about a comment about streams, learn something new. My clue to help anyone along - if you have a break at the right place everything become clear so you don’t need to add any lines (hope that makes sense to someone it is 0300hrs)
