I hope to God you weren’t the one to delete my files right before i got root!

Chaps, I know I’m at the right point for user with the right file and also know I have to sudo but no such luck here, a gentle kick in the right direction would be nice! And thank you!

I stuck at root. I listed the processes running on the system, but now i dont know how to proceed. I tried smth but didnt work.

Any PM hints are welcome :slight_smile:

YO Finally ROOTED,

It was an easy box just need some basic linux knowledge for privesc and some enumeration specially the process for root.

Got root finally. I was on the right path 2 hours ago but got side tracked after looking at the wrong permissions. Make sure you check the permissions on the back ups AND the real files.

Same for me.
User was easy

as promised… here’s my writeup for traceback!

Awesome write up. There is one step you managed which I really couldn’t do and had to solve in a much more annoying fashion.

If you get some spare time (tomorrow maybe, as I am about to sign off for the night), it would be ace to talk about this.

Try a combination of the name and the exact sting.

@sparkla yes root flag will unzip the write-ups

And rooted.
Took my time with this one and made sure I was comfortable with everything I was doing and why.
Interesting beat the clock moment to get root.
I’m pretty sure I did it different to most people.

As always PM if you want a nudge

@thescriptkiddy where do you look for scripts? and PoC exploits, tools… go there and you will know what too look for.

Any hints on how to determine which script to use/how exactly to use them. I apologize, I am a bit of a beginner. Thanks!

sometimes the only right way is the long way - try em all

We have redistributed the machine with small changes to avoid people deleting crucial files.

Haaa… I was just in a middle of something… Noticed some changes now, hope the box would be more stable
