Rooted. The initial part of this box was pretty annoying. Thanks to @Chr0x6eOs for the nudge. I know @MrR3boot doesn't require us to brute force anything, but this one seemed to require a lot of educated guessing. After the initial login, it was pretty straight forward. Thanks for the box @MrR3boot. The reward for my labor is a freshly compiled copy of c*** with fancy new features.
Well damn....rooted, i need a lot of help at the end.....still not sure if i confused myself or what.... i will go through it one more time. hit me up i will be glad to help. if i miss you i am sorry. lots of pms coming in.
@MrR3boot i think i lost a piece of me on that one haha

Just have to keep refreshing, or use burpsuite's repeat...
PM for nudges, but tell me what you've got so far. If I helped you, remember to give respect.
Could somoene sanity check me? I'm on the portal, working on getting a foothold. I've made an exploit and can ping myself from the box, but having trouble doing more. I can elaborate on what I've tried in PM if anyone's got a minute.

so. tbh.
this was the best and cleanest box yet, c/o @MrR3boot
which is great because sometimes they are a bit fantastical. which is also great but in a completely different way.
this is also a reasonably helpful box for AWAE/OSWE prep, due to certain sections.
so big-BIG thanks to the creator for multiple reasons.
we appreciate you dude, despite the fact that we hate you often.
Can anyone double-check me on something? I have access to the UI with creds found earlier, have a type of callback working and am really close to getting the next level foothold - just stuck on the possible syntax or something really small I'm missing. Thanks.

no, pure brute force is against the HTB rules for machine creation/submission

OSCP, SSCP

i keep getting Error retrieving URL at the p portal....that should make sense anyone else
Spoiler Removed
Can anyone give a nudge how to be fast enough to catch the right moment?
curl: (7) Failed to connect to p****.******.**b port 443: Connection refused
This is giving me a headache, any tips on what I should do or nudge in the right direction? Please PM
Finally rooted! What a ride, although user2 -> root was surprising, initial access and pivot was a test!
PM with what you've tried, where you are, and what you think needs to happen before giving nuggets
Got user, I can sleep now.
PM if you're stuck

I feel ya. I was the 200th user flag submitted on this box just a few moments ago. Now I can sleep too!
What a journey it has been
Rooted. Thanks @MrR3boot for the great experience. Foothold and user parts were just awesome.

Does the initial foothold relate to ssl cert of portal... or it is a damn rabbit hole?

Same here !
i have had odd issues but not that one, i was getting socket error but it was self induced
@EvilT0r13 and @Selcius .....i think its due to multiple people on the box at the same time

Finally got root , really interesting box foothold and privesc were the best part !
pm me for help
Rooted ! Enjoyed the box ! The only issue was the refresh battle in the end. Thanks to @stoneric for the nudge. Kudos to the creator @MrR3boot

if by refresh battle, you mean by lastest site, then using ssh tunnels helped for me
so. tbh.

OSCP | OSWP | so much more to learn ...

This box may be the best ..but its super frustrating for me .
