Would someone be so kind as to help me with the foothold? I’ve scanned all the sites, tried to look for files to download and found nothing. It’s probably obvious to others, but I have exhausted all I know.
Fuzz around a bit. I know it sucks but “try harder” when it comes to looking for files to download.
This is a really fun box. The bread crumbs are there all the way through. It does help to write some code that you can run locally for the foothold to understand whats actually happening. I’m a newb with the last bit of technology and thanks to @TazWake for a few nudges realized you need to make more than one change to get up.
Extremely well designed. Thanks @xct and @jkr for building the fun.
Finally rooted the machine, this machine is tough and requires a lot of digging around.
Thanks @TazWake for all the nudges
Initial Fotthold: Look at other websites and think what a developer uses while developing software.
Users: what other OPTtions do you have.
Root: The first thing that seems out of place is the way to get root.
This was by far the most challenging box I have ever worked on. I hit roadblocks at pretty much every step. The much appreciated help from HTB members was the only way I could make any kind of progress on this box.
Big thanks to @blackmilk, @babywyrm, @Nikhil, and @za10bx for their help getting me through this crazy box.
Big props to @xct and @jkr for an impressive box, filled with new learning opportunities.
Right, onto the hints (Let me know if any of the hints are considered to be spoilers and I’ll edit them accordingly).
FOOTHOLD
Initial scans will reveal more places.
Scan EVERY place, regardless of protocol.
A resource online can provide the means and tools to get what you need.
READ EVERYTHING (This is where I failed).
I could sure go for a drink right about now.
Bypass and create what you need.
USER
Old stuff can really be helpful.
Names are important.
ROOT
Stay at home for all your comfort needs.
With great power comes a chance to be irresponsible with others.
Give someone a gift you’d like to receive yourself.
Hey guys, I am a starter here, and I was stuck in the beginning.I need some help here.
When I trying to go to b***.t*****.h**, it shows SERVER NOT FOUND. Wanna know what should I do first to make sure that I can get into the website?
Should I change my DNS server or something else?

Well, you probably need to update your /etc/hosts file to reflect the domain name you want to map to the IP address
