Rooted.
I got the foothold two different ways. One being the all things thingy, as expected, and the second one from a certain tag that I have absolutely no idea why it works, but it does, straight to a reverse shell even. Using a few ifs.
Can someone pm me about that second case?

Path to root is straightforward, just google it.

I’m late to this party, but finally rooted. Interesting box to say the least. The thread definitely has everything you’d need for hints. Feel free do DM if you need an extra nudge.

Phew, took me long enough but eventually got root. Shoutout to @Darvidor @caveeroo @limelight @he110w0r1d @exord26 for all their help and nudges.

Plenty of hints already but feel free to reach out if you’re stuck

Found the s*c*u*e m*s*ag*ng platform, made an account… hopefully I’ll be able to make some progress.

EDIT: got hashes… this is getting interesting.

The hashes aren’t the path you are looking for.

Yeah, I forgot I commented that, I have already gotten a shell on the machine… working towards User, thank you so much for still taking your time to help out.

You might be looking in the wrong place. I don’t recall seeing an admin panel.

Yeah, it kind of depends on where you are logging in with that. If it is a S****** M******** portal, you are on the right track and it is likely you’ve used an account someone else set up.

Finally did it! This is my second box here and I feel like I’m starting to get the hang of it.

Rooted !
The foothold took me hours and hours. The root part comes without much surprise but was very enjoyable nonetheless.
Feel free to reach out while the process is still fresh in my head :wink:
Thanks to @egotisticalSW for the box, and thanks to everyone for nudges, especially to @Harbard

Thank @ArtemisFY for the nudge

Got root but definetely not an easy box. I think easy ones would be those that a newcomer could do without much effort. I don’t think this is the case. Besides that, nice box.
PM me if you need help.

I really enjoyed the box. Very interesting, nice foothold and more interesting privesc.
Dm for hints.
Thanks @egotisticalSW for the cool box!

Got stuck at S**i. I know its b**** in******* but cant figure out which parameter to try on. Any nudge?

Depends what you mean by parameter in this context. If you mean which field of the form, you can test it. Put One in the first and two in the second. When you look at the right output, there will only be a single response and you know which bit to attack.

If you mean parameter to S**i, then I don’t think I understand.

Finally rooted… This one was tough but definitely learned a lot. Much respect to @TazWake for guiding me down the right path!
