Awesome machine, thanks to @polarbearer and @GibParadox for so awesome challenge. Really don’t know why a lot of people point that this one is a CTF machine, scenarios like this one happen in the real world. I think that the only problem is that the machine is not an “easy” one (or at least not for me), this focusing in the amount of enumeration needed to get the initial foothold
My hints:
User
- Use that word without abbreviating it
- Try to access that
- It’s not about him, it’s about you
Root
- Read about the powerup and the cobra features
Hope I am not spoiling the machine, if is that, remove the post
