I am trying to telnet the host but I only receive the information that the connection was refused, what can I be doing wrong?

if just telnet “ip”
then default telnet port is used
if telnet “ip” “port”
then connection success

I managed to connect via telnet, I will try to find out the next step.

Thanks

Awesome box!! Really enjoyed it being something different then standard AD attacks.

Everything needed to root this box is in the comments. You do not need any serious reversing, crypto, programing skills.

Feel free to ping me for tips.

ok i figured out the empty file and am on to the next step. not sure what to do after “using” the new info i got from it

also i feel like a chump by going the windows route for the ads. would love to know the proper syntax for linux i couldnt figure out.

Hi all, after all of the work to get admin access to the box, i am struggling to find the location of the root.txt key. Any assistance would be appreciated

Its in the same place it is in on every machine. There is a shortcut to it in the same location you found the user flag in just in case people go looking there for it, but yeah just go to the normal place.

@VbScrub, Thx!! It was so close i just could not see the obvious.

CURSE YOU @VbScrub MY EYES ARE BURNING AND I STILL HAVENT FIGURED IT OUT ???

I cannot be held responsible for any physical or mental injuries sustained while attacking this box :sweat_smile:

I kinda spoiled root for myself but it was a pretty good machine. I didn’t think I’d learn something going into this but I actually did =)

Thanks for the box. Finally learned something about reversing and had fun. :smile:
\m/,

I love RE and this was an awesome box. @VbScrub congrats, this is one of the best machines I’ve done. For anyone who solved this the unintended way, definitely redo it.

I’m at the final mile. I’ve found the d*g password, accessed the high port service, run the new commands, and I know I have to download something, but I just couldn’t figure how to. Nudges are much appreciated!

Update: Many thanks to @Derezzed! Found the root flag

there is someone who can also help me in pm for the user
root … I think I’m on the right starda … (exe binary) open with stringer

I’ve been trying to compile the script on my PC for weeks now to no avail, can someone please help me with this. I have zero knowledge of visual basic.

If you are using Visual Studio, you can either find very good tutorials online or simply go to the build option.

Need a little help with root:

  • Got a password from “empty” file D***********.txt
  • Can enter debug mode on the high port, but not sure how what I can see there might help me
  • Decompiled H******.exe, don’t have the db file, so I get the error about optional db file missing

Edit:

Nevermind, played around with available commands on the higher port and got the solution.

Hi All, any clues regarding 0 byte size file… Thanks
