Remote

Thanks for the tip @3rpleThr3at ! I used it to get the root txt but unsure how to actually get a session as Admin, do you mind PM’ing me how you went about this?

Edit: Cancel that, I spoke too soon. It seems like the command param that I use just doesn’t seem to work, tried every possible syntax. Could it be the newer version of this ‘Mushroom’?. Further tests and I’m pretty sure the Mushroom isn’t working. Can you PM me to help me trouble shoot?

My user.txt and root.txt seems to be invalid. Anyone else faced the same issue submitting the flags?

its been mentioned a few times in this thread.

You should have submitted the user flag as soon as you got as the flag changes every time the box is rebooted.

If you are getting the flags from a clean reboot and they aren’t working - you can try the tips mentioned elsewhere or report it to HTB via Jira.

Hello,

I found U******o, then I realize the mount part but after enum so hard, I swear I’ve open all possible files, can´t get any file of interest wich help me to the CVE.

Some nudge?

Let us know how that goes please. Paddling down the same creek here.

Rooted. Good machine, really helped me with learning more about Windows enum. Used the u****c method. Stuck for a long time just fixing bad syntax, but in the end the method I used wasn’t overly complicated.

Hey,
I am not looking for any hint at all, (tired of this) I am asking the people who are more familiar with Windows pen-testing.
Is there any book/course that I can learn about the Windows environment and its services? Or experience is the key here?
Thanks ?
Highly appreciated.

thumbs up
I’d love something like that as well

Did they ever release part 2 of that? I got part 1 back in 2017 but just had a look on amazon and it says part 2 was released in April this year but it also says it hasn’t been released yet :s

Also I will say that these books are very in depth and not really for beginners. I also don’t know if they’d be that much use for general pentesting stuff really. They’re mostly all about how the OS works at the kernel level, so if you’re going to be specialising in discovering exploits in that area then definitely grab a copy, but lets face it most of us are not doing that.

Hey folks, I started this machine today. I got the user after a couple of hours. I am stucked rooting it.

I have the low priv shell but when I execute any ps batch file or command I get no text prompt, it just stays empty(no error) or just crash the shell. So I can upload things but not execute them so it is kind of weird: the shell is useless!

I would appreciate any hint or just to know if anyone is having this issue…

Update*****

Rooted at last !

I’ve been wondering about this. I have (had?) it on pre-order and while the website says released 23 April, it also says out of stock and I certainly don’t have my copy yet (nor any emails from Amazon but I assume they are fairly messed up right now).

(and, as well as discovering exploits, it’s a pretty ■■■■ good set of books if you need to do forensics on Windows machines).

Hint decrypting hashes!
I’ve found the strange dangerous file and some hashed creds.
Having no joy getting anything from these…

All the ones I found on this box should crack.

If this is working towards user, and its from a the U******.*** file then you need to be careful which characters you extract but you do get confirmation on the format.

I like that box, I didn’t solve it by TV* ,although I got it’s ID and Pass but didn’t figure how to continue that way … So please If any one can PM for that path will be very appreciated … Thanks for the creator … I can say that box is one of real cases outside really.

I got the following error after running the script from github ( Already obtain the user and pass)

VIEWSTATE … TypeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘getitem’

tried syncing the clock but couldnt get the script. Any hints?

[SC] StartService FAILED 1053 . Any dude have this question?

Well that’s it…I will be cancelling my paid subscription as this is now the second box in a row that is so dog slow you can’t even access it…can’t even access the web page (server took too long to respond).

Make sure you have no disruptions in your vpn connection. usually when i notice slowness or stuff timing out, my ovpn log shows some issues.

So for anyone who had the clock skew issue, or the error I’m getting below and managed to go on to get user/root… please help!

I’ve corrected the clock skew so I am perfectly in-sync with the target:

Host script results:
|clock-skew: 0s
| smb2-time:
| date: 2020-04-06T20:07:26
| start_date: N/A

But unfortunately still getting this error when I run the script…

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “1.py”, line 53, in
VIEWSTATE = soup.find(id=“VIEWSTATE”)[‘value’]
TypeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘__getitem’

Thanks,

HEllo, How did you solve this?

Stuck on root…anybody willing to give a nidge? The unintended way doesn’t work (error 1503…and I can’t find any esploits/priv esc etc related to the TV :frowning:

EDIT:

After struggling with the box and it dying all the time I finally rooted it

u***vc service was solved , so you involves attempting other way to root
