I found the user.txt file but on submitting it’s showing incorrect flag
It could be one of many things.
It could be that the box has recently rebooted and the flag you found isn’t yet in the system. It could be that the box rebooted between you finding the flag and pasting it in.
It could just be a fault in the API for the flags and should be reported via Jira (Jira Service Management)
Rooted. It was not really difficult but I learnt few things during the process.
Initial foothold: standard dictionaries will not work, visit that web shells website and try.
User: check permissions you have and google that program.
Root: use an automatic privesc tool to find that process or monitor processes. Then google it and modify a file with your payload. Then when you log in, your payload will be executed.
Hi guys, i was wondering… I got the user and the root. But the Flag (submit flag) is wrong. I thought I had to paste the hash from the root as flag? Or am I missing something?

Is this a problem with the flag submitting system?
I think Multimaster uses a dynamic flag - and it was one of the first to do so. The main advice here is to submit as soon as you root and if that doesn’t work, reset the box, wait a bit and see if there is a new flag you can use.
If you are having problems, it’s definitely worth raising a Jira ticket Jira Service Management
I think the biggest issue is on boxes where you have to do several steps to get root - resetting and retrying may well become tedious. However, on this box it should be ok as you can log in & exploit fairly quickly.

AFAIK, all machines use dynamic flags, by now.
Okay, the root is still the flag to submit to own the system? If so I can do it again…
So the machine was rebooted a few seconds after I had the flag… ?
Yes, you need to submit the content of the root.txt (or user.txt, depending on where you are).
Try resetting the machine, and wait a few minutes before retrieving the (hopefully new) root.txt file.
hi, i just got reverse shell and started digging around the filesystem and found 3 files in the obvious directory almost saying they are hints. And other files (igor) with the same file extension.
I used the internetz and it says i need python to run them? but no python still in my terminal. Am i going to the right direction? ive spent some time in the same spot ;_;
Finally got root. Finding the webshell took me so long because I got confused by reverse shells uploaded by someone. The webshell has everything you need for the initial foothold.
