Rooted.

Hints here are already pretty good. Just to add some small ones:

  • User: remember that r/w/x permissions for a folder are NOT necessarily the same for subfolders!

  • Root: this is already pretty huge > @gyptocrypt said:

  1. look at the interesting file in your home folder. make sure you read it VERY carefully, you will find something interesting. Use GTFObins to figure out what interesting line is doing
  2. I would google ‘Bandit Level 25 to Level 26’. It will give you some more perspective about all the resizing hints. FYI Bandit is a great start to your pen testing career and will get you warmed up with all the weird tricks it takes to break these boxes.
