Official Tabby Discussion

Rooted. It was a amusing box.
Foothold: The devil is in the details. If you can’t find something, try compiling the correct list of files.
User: Country roads, take me home
Root: You will see it right away.
PM for hints

Finally Rooted. PM me if you need any nudge, I like to help :smile:

Stuck after getting the shell, any hint that gives me an idea of what file should i look for? spent hours browsing the whole machine xD

Man ROOTED FINALLY !!!
s/o to @dhruvarora @razntwn for helping me !

PM me if you need nudge !

Nice machine straight forward once you get foothold.

Some hints where I got stuck for hours (#1 & #2):

  1. What everyone’s looking for: don’t trust what you see … look behind the curtain or use something else which doesn’t need eyes [I probably hit it tens of times but dismissed it … decided to f**z it and was surprised]
  2. Foothold: Do it old school; like vi is to notepad.
  3. User: … (straight forward)
  4. Root: … (straight forward)

PM if I can help.

Huge +1!

Got root.

The initial vuln was very CTF-y imo, just because it is so blatant, that being said I do know there are vulnerabilities like that so I dont really have any complaints. The foothold was by far the hardest part. Both user and root were pretty good and straight forward. Respect to @Xiotis for correcting my tunnel vision with user of all things.

Hints:

Foothold: For gods sake install the software, or at least look up file paths for the thing you know you want to find. Keep in mind you might have found it but your browser might not be cooperating. If there only was some way to view the source your response

User: find that interesting file, in a place you know exists. Find out how to open it and then use that info elsewhere

root: enum + google

If you need additional help feel free to pm me

Got root finally.
Can’t add more than what’s already in here without giving spoilers, so feel free to pm me.

do not install only the files install the whole system

Good machine. If you are stuck with l** not finding the i**** or other strange errors, don’t try to run the commands from /tmp/ but from some user folder.

Hello everyone, I was able to get t***** shell but I can’t find any way to get into a**… can someone give me a nudge?

Find files written by the user, for the user?

I can’t seem to find anything… ill keep trying!

Edit: I’ve managed to complete the box! Thanks again to @rub1ks and @limbernie for their precious help!

Got root. Have to admit, was getting pretty frustrated looking for that file during user phase. Once I found it though it was pretty smooth sailing to root.
Fun box. I’m probably going to back into it when I get some time and really try to understand everything that was going on.

Dm for help. I’m more responsive on Discord tho.

What the Heck!! I rooted this box twice, but there is no root.txt at all !!

UPDATE
Rooted and captured the root flag.

found it

I feel so dumb. I’ve been giving the system a shake down for user creds and I’ve had them for 2 days…helps to sleep I guess .

Rooted! The first machine I rooted without a single nudge:') Thanks for the awesome box @egre55 , had a ton of fun:D Feel free to DM me if you feel you’re stuck

I’ve been trying for hours to upload a war file with curl, but all I get is a “401 - Unauthorized”. Is there another user apart from t****t that i need to find to get there or did I just messed up the commands?

Probably the syntax of your command, you have the correct user to do the job as it has the manager-script role.

I got it. I was providing credentials in a wrong way. I captured my curl command with Burp and it was pretty obvious.
If someone else is having the same problem analyze what your sending.

Thanks for the nudge.

Rooted, fun box. Feel free to pm for a nudge. Tell me what you’ve already tried though.

I’m keen to understand why the L** path to get the coveted foothold creds file is what it turns out to be, its not making sense as to why logically that’s the full path.

Anyone up for sparing a minute and shooting me a PM to enlighten me?
I did install locally as well.

P.S. Have already got root etc after an initial path nudge from @gunroot (cheers again!), just trying to understand the initial part.

Cheers!
