Slightly deceiptful "easy" box... because it has a few red-herring. Indeed, root is "easy" if you have heard of a specific kind of vulnerability, but if you haven't....
Foothold: Go****** is a better option here. Take a look at possible file types on the website. The next part requires the exact tool you have in mind, but you have to create your own list
User: Google search will help you here. Newer the better
would appreciate a nudge for user. got a shell, but i must be doing something wrong and can't escalate to our user :T
enumerate more. a piece of information you already have has some things. are all the things completed?
pm me if you need another nudge.
I love helping newcomers. If you send a message, include the things you already tried.
Please be patient for replies, I do my best to reply to everyone.
I enumerated some of this machine yesterday and found a r*******.php file that doesn't appear to be here today. is this expected? Was finding that file yesterday a fluke?

I am assuming someone exploited the box and uploaded a file there and you saw it. I will say that file in not critical for this host.

That's what I was leaning towards. Back to fuzzing. Thank you
Happy to help people but PLEASE explain your problem in as much detail as possible! If you say vague things like "It's not working", I cant help. This isn't Twitter so my DMs are always open.
Currently have very limited HTB time but will try to respond as quickly as possible.

Done with user and root, spent no more than one evening, but anyway the machine is pretty cool
I'd even say "The best one lately"
It's not very hard, it's not the easiest one and also it's not Windows)))
Much info was given in another discussion on the forum, but if y'r stuck, send me pm
Soooo much thanks @egotisticalSW

Rooted, went down a massive rabbit hole trying to get the user. Soon as i got user root was seconds away.
Pfffft, not sure if I like this box or hate it. Went through all possible rabbit holes imaginable. LOL
Many thanks to the creator(s)!

This won't sound helpful but the only answer is enumerate more.
If you find something which looks like it could be a user's name, try it. Build a custom wordlist and see if it works.
Google can take you to an article which contains what you need to try the accounts and get access.
