rooted! very cool box with a lot of manual enum at the beginning that is easy to miss without patience. Thank you @VbScrub
I will say between this box and the last one from this author, you really need to have a Windows VM running with a special spy tool installed in order to get through the homegrown RE steps. If anyone knows how to do the 2nd to last step on this box a different way, I would like to know!
I found an interesting v** ******er.r file and I believe I cracked what I needed from it, the only issue I am having is utilizing it… Can someone help give me a push over the cliff?

There is a tool in github for cracking the hex, do remove the commas and use the tool to decode the password… And Use that password to log in as user s.****h with evil
Rooted. Awesome box. manual enumeration, must take notes and significant lateral movements. RE part is little confusing for me because lack of RE. Thanks to @VbScrub for the experience and nudges.
Finally Rooted Cascade. Now I know why it is known as Cascade, it is like Matryeshka one after another…
Thank you for the nudges by @idevilkz for the user nudge, @grumpychris and @tuzz for the dnspy nudge.
Ahhhh, I’m going to root, I have the user “a … c” but I’m stuck. Any hint please
If you are user a****c then you have done the hard part. Look back to a file you found earlier in enumeration. It says something but someone that may not longer exist but has what you are looking for.
If you are still before this step, then see previous comments about what it takes to do the RE.
There is something wrong for me while submitting the root flag, even after a reset, the flag isn’t correct.
I am having the same problem with the User flag right now. I’ve reset the machine multiple times, even checked it out and saw it shutdown, as I appear to the be only one using it right now, but the flag in the user.txt stays the same, and it says that it is incorrect.

Judging by the messages I’ve received over the last few days and the number of comments I see here, I’d say the new dynamic flag system from HTB just isn’t working particularly reliably at the moment. All I can suggest is raise a support ticket with them and hopefully they can sort it out
