Book

You’ve been b0okd & r0tTd…
Thanks a lot @TazWake for the nudge, you save my day :respect:

Finally got user. Super hard for me. :fearful:

Rooted but grabbed only the root.txt as always a race : )

@MrR3boot .Awesome box!

Especially the initial foothold for me was smt new so i learnt smt that i can use in future .Very very cool .

And after that the next step was also cool /i admit here i got a little nudge on the type of attack i must target but the execution was mine :slight_smile: /

Anyways really awesome box despite the race.

bro i found the register form for admin but its didnt work any nudge for me :frowning:

rooted && level up!
\o/

pm me if you need any help

Guys im stuck at the admin part, i have found out the admin login page and the admin email id, but unable to login, tried many things like SQLI, bruteforcing but nothing works, can any one provide me any nudges, i’m really stuck here for 2 hours

Fell free to message me

If you view the source you can see there are some client side restrictions. These may indicate that the backend is badly configured and you can bypass a check it makes.

I have a problem with User part in my payload.
Doesn’t showing any files any help

Hey all I am 100% lost on how to get the initial foothold. Any and all help is appreciated.

Finally got root on the box, but this was a real struggle for me from start to end :frowning:

@MrR3boot thank you for box, it was very educational!
Mega thanks to @TazWake for helping and patience with me :slight_smile: Help and pointers you gave were great, they gave me the right direction but still left me to do my research, find the correct solution. (/bow)

To ppl who are struggling and/or kind of dropping (seen some comments) - don’t be afraid to ask for help | take some breather and then come back with a fresh look (this worked for me also) | don’t be discouraged with comments “ohh this is an easy box”, etc - don’t forget that everyone has different experiences and skill level, you are here to learn, so just ignore it and do what you can do, do research, etc. Everyone started somewhere :slight_smile:

It looks like I need some hints for user here. I’ve got access to the admin panel and see the connection between that and an u****d function in the user panel.

I’ve read a few writeups on exploiting this and got the box to “call back” to me. However, I have little success in getting it to reveal more, even after trying variations of that technique. Nudges are definitely welcome!

Hi, I need a hint for user. I’ve managed to login with name ‘a****’ and mail 'a****@.‘’ at the page at port 8 by following the things in the forum (TR-Function), but when I view my profile on the page, it still says that my role is user.

Did I miss something?

Nudges are welcome!!

Enumerate folders on webserver or if you already found it, then don’t forget there are two pages :wink:

I was /facepalming myself on this stuff after I was corrected by @TazWake :wink:

@snownoob Okay, so the webpage for the a****-user looks the same as a normal user, only the functionality is different? Was just confused by the role when I view the profile…

Thx!

Edit: Got it, wow, now I get why people said that is was unstable… feels like the 100th time that I tried go get into /a***** and now it’s working… :wink:

Thanks @snownoob

Dont focus on getting a reverse shell to work via what is essentially an information leakage vulnerability. Leak the information. Much more effective.

Lots of frustration, as well as lots of fun and learning. Thanks @MrR3boot! Took me a good while to get root, as I thought I was doing the right thing but kept losing. Not sure if I eventually got lucky or my other efforts to tip the scales in my favor paid off.

is there any error in the key? cuz i got invalid format!

Finally rooted, great respect for @MariaB and @snownoob, without their help was impossible for me to solve the box, thanks also to my friend @steps0x29a for his hints and support.

There is a lot to learn in this box, it is not easy and immediate, thanks to @MrR3boot to show me a kind of attach using X… in the P… document that I never fece before.
Only one remark, unfortunately the document reader tool in the first part could affect a lot of players, me too, i spent two days in this part.
