Quick

User was not very obvious, but the forum is loaded with hints of the struggles.
Second PrivEsc was probably the most enjoyable part of this box.
Root was too “quick” Don’t need to look very far.
I liked the box but wish it had more stepping stones along the way, especially on the initial foothold.
It fits its category of difficult and had some custom exploitation along the way.

On another note, if anyone can enlighten me on how to resolve DNS hosts using python if a box doesn’t have capabilities to add to the etc hosts file, that would be awesome!
I currently only know of curl that can --resolve DNS override!
