I was able to get the root flag by modifying an exploit. Unfortunately I got root for only a short time. I modified the exploit to dump the contents. This is not giving me an actual elevated prompt. I have been digging around the system for almost three days. Enumerating the system to death and I feel like I have looked over, what i think should be simple.
I know this is not the correct method and would like to do it the right way. I am not here for the flags. I want the knowledge. Can anyone push me in the right direction? Reach me via PM.
Thanks for any help.
