Ok - you might want to work on identifying why this is happening or at least more detail about what could be the problem. Simply having a shell fail to connect isn’t something people can really help with.

For example, there are countless reasons why this might be the case:

  • You’ve used the wrong payload
  • Your payload has a typo
  • Your payload hasn’t been put in the right place
  • Your payload isn’t being called properly
  • Your attack is hitting the wrong place
  • Your listener isn’t working
  • Your listener is expecting something other than what the payload is sending
  • You have a typo in the listener
  • Your firewall is blocking connections

(etc - this could go on for days).

This is a hard box, so it does need some trial and error to get attacks working. You need to be comfortable working through what you are trying to do so you can understand where a problem might have occurred. (and remember, if you are too open about what you are asking on the public forum it will get hit for a spoiler)

Rooted !
Feel free to pm me for nudges

Rooted. Fun box, not too hard for a hard box but definitely not easy.
PM me if you need a nudge but be prepared to tell me what you’ve tried first.

Rooted, good box with lot of learning points.
Let me know if you need any help but tell what you tried to avoid me any spoil

path is web link without security ???

Pretty sure I am looking at the intended exploit. Can someone point me to some good reading material for the exploit?

I’m not able to get the required code for SUCCESS

Edit: Rooted the box

root@VirusBucket:~# whoami;id;hostname
root
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(daemon),2(bin),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(uucp),11,20(dialout),26(tape),27(sudo)
VirusBucket

I loved this one because I’m very interested in learning more about exploiting the type of vulnerability required for foothold.

This box was quite a lot of work, but got there in the end. Got stuck on user a bit because I thought I had everything I needed, but I didn’t. Thanks @m1r3x for pointing that out.

The lateral movement taught me something I didn’t know yet.

Root wasn’t too bad because the way was clear, just needed to put in some time, trial and error to get everything right.

Let me know if you need help

Great box, loved the privesc part.
Can offer help if you are stucked

Where is the root.txt? I just reset the machine and still not in the usual place.

It looks like curl failed to connect because the connection timed out.
