Olympus

In the same boat as uck084. I know where I want to go from here, but don’t know how the pcap is relevant, and I’m not seeing much else. Any help is appreciated.

I can tell that there are two ways to deal with this stuff -:slight_smile:

And each of them gives a different result :wink:

I always got RST packet … I can’t change my vpn to usa (NOT VIP…) , what can i do !?

something to do with DNS or just a rabbit hole? I’ve been enumerating but not getting anything. Also, crawlers did not give me anything.

Any nudge on what we are supposed to do with the web page we got?

Try a different tool, something that doesn’t numerate.

Fair Warning: The step after the cap (you’ll know what I mean when you see/do it) is (imo) lame. It requires a bit of guessing on what to do next as something that shouldn’t be used as something IS used as something…

Stuck opening the portal to Hades. Pretty sure i know what to do, but maybe my timing is off? Anyone able to message me?

And root! Good box.

So I was able to get a shell before via a particular method and now it doesn’t work. Has anyone else encountered this?

Hi to all. Machine creator here. Answering to some general questions…

For that guys stuck at “Crete island” (the web). Hard enumeration is not needed. Just pay attention to all the response info at the website.

For that guys stuck at “Olympia”. The user flag is not there but it’s normal. The machine is not bugged. Everything has an explanation. You’ll understand better at the end. Just follow the bread crumbs (hints). Be patient on cracking till the end… known dicts are useful.

For that guys stuck on Rodhes (dns). A big hint… DNS is usually at port 53udp. This machine has open as you know 53tcp. That port is always used exclusively for something. You should do something with it but only after olympia with the appropiate data. Don’t waste your time at the beginning. Without the correct data is not possible to guess.

After Rodhes (dns) to open the portal to Hades is quite simple! look for a known technique using the data you got on Rodhes!

Once in Hades… it’s a privesc related to the stuff deployed at the machine. That’s all I can say.

I hope the people enjoy the machine. Regards!

I got stuck on Rhodes for awhile lol proper enum… Awesome box man! And kudos on airgeddon it’s an awesome tool!

Loved this machine, combination of many challenges and learned smth new on every step. for those who is enumerating dns, the order of your dns enumeration own command is important…

awesome machine @OscarAkaElvis

Hello OscarAkaElvis!

Thank you for this nice challenge - I really like the way the breadcrumbs are themed appropriately.

I just got root on the box, and I thought you might like some feedback. Overall, I really like the very clever puzzle pieces you guys have put in.

However, I did spend 90% of the time being stuck on the Rodhes(dns) step, even though my very first idea turned out to be the correct one! Some of the flavor text could perhaps use a slight adjustment. The structure of the steps from crete → olympia, etc is quite straight forward, but the circumstances of the rodhes step is confusing in a non-technical way.

It’s a bit hard to explain exactly what I mean without spoiling, but you’re very welcome to msg me directly if you want a more detailed image.

So that was a bit frustrating, but otherwise, clever puzzles and good experience :slight_smile:

I know for some people could be very hard. Other users reported me that was easy… that’s the medium level I think. :slight_smile: enjoy! Fun & learn as much as youcan from all the machines!

Seems like I’m “too close” to something… The problem is I don’t know to what :smiley:

Hello, still not sure what I have to do at the webpage. I am sure I am missing something very obvious, can someone pm me so I can check?
