ForwardSlash

i’m confused ,can’t find anything for the moment. anybody willing to give a hint where to look for?
nevermind got something new :slight_smile:

I just got the XML file I don’t have an idea about decrypting it’s new for me

So is fuzzing not going to find me that magical xml file? I may have gone down a rabbithole of following the hacker gang’s name and finding a related exploit.

found lfi :slight_smile:
now on to the reverse shell

any hits ??

Rooted at last. This machine was quite cool. A very nice mix of techniques. Congrats to the creators for it!

In case you need a nudge:

  1. Once you get into the correct place, be a hero and point all the guns at yourself. If you’re lucky enough you’ll catch the bullet mid-air.
  2. Pretty standard technique to go from user A to user B. Enumerate!
  3. For root, sometimes you don’t need a key to open a broken door. Just focus on the cracks.

What kind of hint is this ?

I rooted, but I don’t quite understand why what I did works. If someone can explain the c****o part to me, that wouuld be much appreciated.

Consider doing one of the easier boxes first. The box has only been up for 12 hours…

Try reading all php files you can. You must have seen something like Unauthorized

user: read notes, find location, signup and use text fields, bond something together to escalate
root: enumerate, routine check and get the right way, open you eyes, is there

root@forwardslash:~# ifconfig | fgrep 10. | awk ‘{print $2}’
10.10.10.183
root@forwardslash:~# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)

So far loving the “Please take care of our planet, we only have one.”

EDIT: And rooted. Really nice box but I fell into too much rabbit holes…
Thanks to InfoSecJack & chivato for this great box!

After you’ve rooted, please, undo everything you’ve done and clean up. Stop leaving the door open.
