Official Blackfield Discussion

I have rooted the machine but for some reason the root flag isn’t being accepted? Anyone else having similar troubles?

Two posts above yours: Official Blackfield Discussion - #341 by TazWake - Machines - Hack The Box :: Forums

rooted. Root part wasn’t that difficult but the process to get user was. If you don’t understand standard windows services, ur gonna have a hard time (like i did). But getting root feels good at the end.

Congrats on rooting continuously. Probably he might be in lockdown with Laptop & Internet alone. :smiley:

Just 4 fun.

it’s not actually that continuous. I thought it was a bit strange but it turns out they rooted this box a few hours before posting it, and some of the other boxes were a week ago.

Wow!! This box was intense!! I struggled a lot with the root part but with all of your’s hints and some very useful articles, I was able to make it! Thanks all!
I can try and help if anyone wants any small hints - though I doubt that everything you need is all given in here!

And…rooted! Really had fun with this one! Banged my head against the wall on Compromised for a day or two, so I decided to try blackfield. For foothold and user I think I used exactly the same route/path as everyone else. However for root/system…I really don’t think so: there is a much faster way than those horrible, clunky b****up commands/scripts, that for me at least, just did NOT want to work, no matter how I formatted everything and what prayers I chanted to the HTB Gods — but then I started thinking…wait, with those privs come other, mm…possibilities – so, with a certain PS mo**le one becomes quite powerful…this certain PS script can be found in the wild and lets you do interesting things…modules to make an exact copy of your system…on your system - could that be used for more???

Whew… getting root was tough not gonna lie, really excellent box though :slight_smile:
