same here… can’t find b****p folder… any nudegs… please pm …

Have a think about where these files would be stored in a normal Linux filesystem then with a bit of trial and error you will get the folder name.
Start by working out which folder contains files to which the Linux system writes data during the course of its operation.
Then it normally has a folder which serves as a home for things posted on port 80.
the c****o is driving me crazy. I see that it is kind of broken but after an initial step without the k** I get stuck. any nudges or helpful links would be appreciated. thx.
Just finished and wanted to say thanks to the creators @infosecJack and @chivato!
Probably the most fun HTB I’ve done, I’ve learnt a lot from doing this box (even/especially the bits that ended up being rabbit holes). And thanks to @EvilT0r13 for pointing out a technique I’d completely overlooked.
Thanks for a super fun box to help with quarantine :))

You can write a bit of pythonic code to append to the python file which brute forces this fairly quickly.
rooted - what a crazy ride. This was a great machine; enjoyed the crypto part a lot but also user was fantastic. good work. thanks to @HomeSen and @EvilT0r13 for the hints/nudge.

I figured out (with some help from @HomeSen) a less brute force way to crack the msg. thx for the nudge/hint anyways, much appreciated.
This is a very difficult machine, I tried to use dirbuster to find extension xml and php, I cannot find any xml… and there is only one index.php… the directories I can find are /icons/, /icons/README and /icons/small/, hope someone can give me a nudge?
I really enjoyed the journey but got a bit put out when I realized that my X*L exploit was not actually required. It seems strange that there were two ways to get the info for the initial foothold, a short and simple one and a long and complex one. Mind you, I learned a lot by going the long way round.
Rooted. Really hard and beautiful machine.
A lot of hints are already present in the thread, I add only few things:
-Yes, there are badchars but the rest is good
-For the last step of root you can do it without the terminal
I am able to read files using p************.p** but cannot find anything useful since I am doing it blindly and cannot find the location of the b****p directory. Any nudge would be appreciated

So after some headaches, I have to say the box is straight forward and I would rater rate it medium.
For initial touch,…as many already wrote…enumerate, find the obvious and abuse it
from shell to user…well yea…timing is everything ;D
from user to root…well that’s a bit tricky and was for me the complicated part…you just have to break it…it helped me to add some prints and play around with the file.
the last step was pretty easy and quick as its kind of obvious (basic enumeration)
And please use the last command you can run as sudo or at least reset the box

I’m at a very similiar stage, I can read files and some limited source files, just not sure where to go from here, Have some info about db but not sure how or where to use it.
