Wow, Postman had me stumped! I could not figure out some small details (which have been discussed in this thread enough, I guess), so it took me ages to get the initial foothold. Once I got that, the rest was feeling somewhat…too easy, I guess.
I still have no idea how to get the user flag, as I went straight from initial to root.
If anyone wants to show me how they did it, please tell me in a PM, I’m curious. I’ll send you the point where I got stuck if you want. I think there’s something in there I can learn!
Initial: Learned a lot about a thing that I have used only once before, that was new, thanks!
User: Still no clue!
Root: Quite easy after you figure out that someone was a bit careless about conserving…
Thanks to @TheCyberGeek for making this box. Despite the frustration I felt, I learned something and that’s why I’m here
