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:
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?
Hey. I assume that you got the hash from appropriate version of bludit from the initial shell.
Once you got the hash, i suggest you to analyze the type of hashing used with the below link.
Then use John or Hashcat to perform cracking based on the hash format you got from the above link.
John/Hashcat will crack it against rockyou.txt.
You can get the rockyou.txt file in here https://github.com/finnfassnacht/rockyou.txt
If not worked out, then you can use the below link to crack the hash without mentioning the has format.
(**Note this link will work only for very commonly used passwords.)
I’m having the same issue as torcher15. I’ve tried to update kali and metasploit and still getting the same thing.
[-] Exploit failed: An exploitation error occurred.
[*] Exploit completed, but no session was created.
For both of you. Try to alter the payload based on exploitation nature. The default module need some tweaks to work perfectly. But there is also a manual way to exploit.
Good luck
@gunroot I tried to do the manual way with the script, but was running into errors on that as well. I’ll do some digging to figure out what I’m missing.
Finally got root after practically losing my mind from rabbit holes.
There’s more than enough information in the thread to help you get your foothold.
Foothold: It sucks to hear, but if you are stuck with it, think of different way to enumerate using programs you’re most likely already using. Thanks to @TazWake for nudging me in the right direction.
For user: Once again. Just enumerate more.
Root: This is where I wanna chip in my two cents. If you’re having trouble figuring out root, stop overthinking it. The solution is extremely easy. From user, it should take two commands to have root. There was a CVE released last year in relation to the privesc. If you’ve checked everything already, check what your user is allowed to do, it should look a little suspicious.
Hope this helps and isn’t too much information. PM for a nudge and I’ll try to help you out some more.
I have got initial foothold, which ended up being more of a guess despite hours of attempts at http-post brute force with the required user and wordlist.
As a learning point, now I have credentials, I have tried to go back to correct the syntax of the http-post request but to no avail (have tried both through Burp and Hydra). I believe it is primarily down to the incorrect defintiion of the failed login message.
This has affected other instances before, not just Blunder, and I am keen to fix the syntax issue for future. I was wondeing if someone who was sucessful with the http-post brute force may message me the syntax they used. Altenrtaivley id be happy to share the synatx I used for any tips!

This is not a good box for hydra. If you google the technology running it, you might find that it has some mitigations for brute force attacks.
Foothold was definitely the trickiest part, but it’s staring you in the face. No brute forcing or word lists needed, as discussed in previous posts.
User was super easy, just enumerate.
Root was also super easy once you locate the right method. Everything you need has already been discussed here.
Overall, really liked this box - foothold process really accentuated the stupid things that users do. Finding the end exploit was really interesting to find.
Other than foothold, this is one of the easiest boxes I’ve done. Take your time with enumeration, look closely, but don’t look too hard. It may end up being a bit fuzzy. (If you look hard enough, brute-force is absolutely not necessary).
User: Don’t look too hard. Easier than you might expect.
Root: 5 seconds. Easiest privesc I’ve seen in a while.
Very handy box overall. Took around an hour/hour and a half from boot2root.
