So my feedback…
getting the initial step in was horror…i run totally into a rabbit hole with the analytics tab x(
After I understood the box name, fixed my etc hosts becoming user was pretty straight forward…
root took me just a couple of minutes in the end.
It was nice to learn, to stick to the basics and do not overcomplicate ;D
funny sidegag I just experienced in the forum… try to post
/ e t c / h o s t s
as normal text in a message xD
yeah, I was looking for /etc / hosts like you did!
it was really funny… “you got root! just kidding” lol
I guess I understand all the hints, but not enough to know what to do with them. Would someone who’s got the box already be willing to PM and let me say what I think - I’m fairly sure I’m going in the right direction.
Oh. That so weird for me. Can someone explain why? How? Is this a real-life scenario? I’m about the response we get.
Hints: actually I don’t know what else add, all already in the forum.
PM for if you need help, ill try to help)
What a sweet box this was. Even though I wasted hours and hours on useless dirbusting (there’s absolutely no need for any of that - you see all web pages you need without any guessing), I’m not even angry. I’m GLaD. Thanks to all who left hints here. I’m sure I’ll still be banging my head at more rock(you)s if not not for those who finally made me understand what indeed a Mango is. It’s not a fruit of a coconut family, and you don’t need to be “a female priest who gave people wise but often mysterious advice” to figure this out.
Anyway, even though I have both keys to claim the box, I’m still not sure how to get the final shell. Anyone would like to share with me the last command?
I have found the login page. I know what is running behind and I managed to extract a password which doesn’t seem to fit anywhere.
Can anyone please PM me for little guidance? Thank you in advance.
EDIT : Rooted!
Thanks to EvilT0r13 for the guidance. Thanks to MrR3boot for the great machine.
Feel free to PM if needed assistance.
Hey guys i got the access to the logins and all but i don’t understand why it worked if someone could pm me to explain me a thing or two it would help me a lot thanks
Fun box and similar to a trophy machine on OSCP. Root was fine if you are used to a certain programming language environment, else there’ll be some research involved.

You are trying to use the following key: Z7O0-XHE57Y-4E612Q-0Z331K-0U6G1B-525E0Z-150F5Q-5V521M-4O3O4B-41
I’m guessing a key is past trial or something. Last I recall the website let me see the charts and such.
Will this affect my attempt to own this box before reset?
