Cache

rooted this yesterday DM me if you get stuck

Rooted !! very funny box, shame about the constant resets, Thanks for nudges @sk4 @Centip3d3 @zard @davihack @jiggle @limelight

I couldn’t access the portal yesterday so I decided to do it today .It is turned off today also. I reseted it a few times by now.what do I do.

I have a problem, I cant transfer files to box(this one and oouch), wget curl nc scp just stops at 33% or so. I’ve reloaded my router regenerate connection pack, plz send help:D

Hm, I got user and root flags in one go. Is that the intended way?

Fun box, I enjoyed it a lot. Thank you, @ASHacker

Finally!

root@cache:/# whoami && id
root
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
root@cache:/#

Nice job on the box! bout time we got a privesc like that, the first bit was a needle in a haystack!

Rooted.
If anyone needs a little nudge, PM me. I’d love to help!

Nice & easy box
Thank you, @ASHacker

I don’t think so :smiley: but you would have missed on a couple of interesting things if you skipped all the privesc.

Rooted.
Interesting box. I could learn some new things.

I don’t think so but I can certainly see how it would be possible and if you haven’t done the early enumeration properly, it is by far the easiest path.

Thanks to @ASHacker for this awesome machine, the hardest part is the initial foothold, everything else is absolutly easy.

My Hints:

Initial Foothold

  • Approach that he talks about himself
  • Investigate about this new service and how you can approach it (CVE)

User

  • Looks like they aren’t useless

Lateral-Movement

  • Memorize things is not always good

Root

  • Your crew is more powerful than you think

Hope my hints are not spoiling the machine, if they are doing it remove the post

Rooted just now. This was a fun box, nothing super new but tests a bunch of essential skills.

PM me if you want a nudge but be prepared to tell me what you’ve tried first.

Finally rooted.

The most tricky part for me was de passwd to encadenated exploiting.
To people in this place a hint could be use another tool (it was not common for me) . to go to the place i change mi foots to the sky.

Way to root was easy.

Funny box, thank the author.

Got past the first login page and went down a steg rabbit hole on the image. I have found the reference the author was talking about but need a nudge on where to start looking. PM please, no spoilers :wink:

some nudge to h** ? lot of cve but cant work it :neutral:

This machine is pissing off me, i found s****j but when i tried i got connection time out and what i found is (c…d=.) not working(not be inj). Also pinging it sometimes connection lost. Only thing what i need to do is wait and trust my luck?

Found stuff after much messing and hints on here.
Is the “gateway” meant to be running?

Not sure what it exactly is meant to be, but:
I anything tells you it was disabled, then someone broke the service, again, and you need to reset the machine (there should really be some kind of cronjob that periodically fixes the broken config file).

Thanks, I try to avoid resets where possible, as I know how annoying they can be to everyone, but it it’s broken…I’ll have to “turn it off and on again”.
