Hi guys,
I’m loosing my mind, I’m in with a limited shell, I can’t found any helpful (some hes imposible to decrypt, a mss from s*n with a weird method). Please, Could anyone send me a nudge??

I’m stuck here too . Would be great if anyone could send me a nudge too! Thanks :smile:

I finally got root. I must admit, I think I was the opposite of most and priv esc to root took me the longest of any of the legs. I was definitely in the overthink community on that one.
Thanks @egotisticalSW for the box!

Pwned! I absolutely hated foothold… was so pissed off i had to take a week off this box. besides, didn’t use ms*t so I took a longer route I guess.

Foothold: No Lorem ipsum ■■■■, so maybe the text is useful? Couple of ways to proceed from here… just be cewl and try opening the door. Once in, use google! Where do people usually report bugs?

User: where does this thing store credentials? is there a copy? are they valid? are they users of the box?

Root: was almost instantaneous… check your privs and you’ll notice something famously wrong.

Finally got root too. Thanks to @MrClark for the the nudge and @egotisticalSW for the box :slight_smile:

Rooted, feel free to pm me for a nudge but be prepared to tell me what you’ve already tried.

Rooted… Nice box, like everyone said initial foothold was bit difficult… but user and root was pretty easy

Foothold : Enumeration is the key… Enumeration will eventually lead you to a gate.
Simple googling about the gate will reveal a recent vulnerability and its POC script, make a note of that and move on…
Enum with different extensions for the gatekeeper. If your favorite tool can’t do the work, switch to another one… After trying with DIRB and DIRBUSTER, I moved on to GOBUSTER which did the work for me…
once you find the gatekeeper, The keys for gate are right in-front of you from the beginning :wink:
Once you have the gatekeeper and keyssss ready, then modify the POC script for your advantage considering the gatekeeper and keysss.
After finding out the gatekeeper and key you can use the famous M********t Module with the creds…

User : Enum, Enum, Enum… pay close attention to what you see… And always remember that newer things are always better :wink:
Try to remember what you saw earlier and where you saw it…
Keep in mind that, Sometimes some things can take different forms… :naughty:

Root : Its basic privesc and giving any clue will be a spoiler…!!!
But keep in mind that, Sometimes when someone says we cannot do that it exactly means that we can do that… :wink:

Hope that I am not spoiling the machine… :smiley:

Still If anyone needs help… I will always there for you… Feel free to DM @ciphercode for any nudges…!!! :sweat_smile:

Rooted! Great box @egotisticalSW ! A user really real life! I learned to use one new Tool and a couple of new things.

Hints
If your stuck on user do a careful Enumeration, probably there’s something you miss, all you need is inside the box.

There two ways to exploit the box,one really easy and the other a bit complex

Root
A standard Enumeration,nothing complex!

If you need hints feel free to inbox me!

This is probably a stupid question, but this is my first real box:
I managed to upload a p0wnyshell to the server and I figured out the user pwd, but I have no idea how to continue.

I can’t su because I don’t have a tty shell (and upgrading to a tty shell doesn’t work)
I have tried to create a reverse shell that connects to my Raspberry Pi via python, bash, PHP etc. but nothing happens. It seems like I can’t connect to anything.

And, as I said, stuff like sudo or su doesn’t work with my p0wny shell

I think this will help you: Upgrading Simple Shells to Fully Interactive TTYs - ropnop blog


@dux800 Tty doesn’t really work with p0wnyshell I guess, I’ve tried most of those commands


Edit

I solved my problem, I tried to connect to my external IP address instead of my VPN IP address. That makes sense, but it took me hours to figure that out. Now I have my tty reverse python shell

Having trouble with initial foothold at login page. Can someone nudge me?

A lot twists here and there. but finally rooted.
Intial foothold is a pain, user seems a bit unrealistic to me.
rooting was a piece of cake due to a very uncommon config/bug mix.

Would love to talk with someone regarding this box - stuck on getting the initial foothold

Enumeration is the key for foothold. Do with some extensions. Google “how to generate custom wordlist from a website?” .
Good luck ?

Rooted, very easy but fun box… Thanks a lot @egotisticalSW

I’ve got the wordlist down, but cannot get a working syntax with h**** to be successful, and not sure if I should try to find another tool, or if I just need to learn this one better

Found the foothold user pretty quickly. Made my list OK (it turns out it did include the correct pw). There is some code I adapted to find the right password, but it didn’t work (need to understand why at some point). After several hours of scratching around I entered the correct password manually as it stood out to me.
From there getting user and root were pretty quick, but learnt some good stuff along the way. Thanks to @egotisticalSW for the fun box!
Feel free to reach out if you need a nudge.

Ok. I’ve been working on this box since early yesterday afternoon. I believe I have located the user pass, but having difficulty with the username. Can someone offer a nudge?

Also, I think my fuzz syntax may have an issue as I keep getting Fatal exception: FUZZ words and number of payloads do not match!

my code:
wfuzz -c -z file,users.txt -z file,pass.txt http://10.10.10.191:80/FUZZ

Thanks in advance!

Your wfuzz syntax is broken. -z isn’t for a list of usernames and you’ve used it twice. You haven’t given it a wordlist to FUZZ with.

For example, if you were looking for image files you might use:

-w wordlist -u http://example.com/FUZZ.FUZ2Z -z list,gif-jpg

You also want to make sure you are eliminating some messages or you’ll get an insane amount of responses.

Hi first post noob here.

I’ve found a hash for h***. I can’t seem to crack it with john or hashcat. They just finish immediately. Should I be using a non standard wordlist?
