got root. Learned quite a bunch about s**d in this. I do have a question tho; the shell I got was not outputting anything whatsoever. I’m trying to understand why. My C is pretty limited and I was basically calling system to get my shell.
Got root. Easy box, but user part gives some new tools in my baggage.
got root! first box that I didn’t use any nudges!
super fun box, I’ve been wanting to use that foothold exploit for a while.
PM for nudges
I got root shell, but when i type a command, such as ls, there is no output?? anyone else had this or did i miss something
edit:
just sent myself the bash shell to my local and got it
good box, thanks!
after some time i finally got root. I have to say that reading this thread helped me a lot for root!
Rooted. Another fun box! PM if you need a nudge.
I understand how to root the box, but for some reason it doesn’t seem to want to play nice. Got user, understand the root vulnerability, but for some reason when I run insert something I would run nothing pops up on inserts elsewhere something would pop up on. Any advice? This is probably my weakest subject in terms of exploits/vulnerabilities so I need to do read up a little more. Maybe you can PM me to compare commands to make sure I have a grasp on things, or if someone is just messing the box up. Thanks!
rooted the machine. definitely learnt something new this time. thanks for the box @TRX ! feel free to dm me if you get stuck

Happy to help if you are still stuck.

Hey can you please give me a nudge on Root…
I used a popular Enumeration tool but I couldn’t just get it.
can I PM u?
Ah. finally got time to finish this off.
Learnt alot of this. Thanks alot to the creators.
PM me if you need a nudge.
Rooted Great Box! Thank you @lewd for the nudge on the root.
This is the first time posting here. Please correct me If something that is not allowed.
User: If you got stuck after uploading the file, Check how images are stored using a sample image.
Root: Finding “root” was a bit difficult (At least for me). But easy to exploit.
Any hint for Root here might be a Spoiler. So, PM if anyone needs a nudge.
Please for the love of everything, stop resetting.
anyone else get 404 99% of the time they try to execute RCE?
Rooted!
Root should have been quick for me, but the hints here were blowing right over my head. Thank you @TRX for this box!
Fun box. I’ve always heard about the priv esc method used for root but never actually seen it play out, haha. Great box!
Okay, after like 5 hours stuck at root, I’m conceding. I need a nudge. I’ve spied a couple of interesting things as user, but can’t make the connection, I guess. Help!
Finally managed to get the root flag, but couldn’t seem to get a full root shell. If anyone managed to get one, please DM me. I would love to learn how to do so.

If you enumerate well you can find something running. Look at what it calls and change the road it uses.

It massively depends on how you got the root flag. As far as I can see anyway you can get the flag could be modified to call a shell instead.
