Finally rooted! This was my first ever box on HTB and it took me 3 days x_x

Hints:-

  1. Foothold - Fuzz with the most common file extensions you can think of to get the username. After that, just be “cool” :wink:
  2. User - Easiest part of the challenge. Investigate the application’s files thoroughly.
  3. Root - Took me the most time. Felt so stupid after I found it. The nudges “check your privs” and “root required a single line command” helped a lot.
