My friend and I have had issues submitting flags on this box when we owned it. I had to wait nearly 20 minutes and wait for the flag to regenerate before the site would take it last night. Haven’t had the issue on the other ones. Friend had the same issue tonight when he did it. I’m running on a VIP instance and he was on the free server - both had the same issue.

This should be raised to HTB via a JIRA ticket. They cant fix it if they don’t know it is broken.

Very nice box - but I wouldn’t say easy if enumeration process takes that long.
Without burp and curl-export this trial and ERROR is a ■■■■ of a ride :smile:

I also have the FLAG ISSUE - my flags are not accepted? does anybody know why!

It crops up in every thread on every box. The way HTB generates dynamic hashes means that sometimes they aren’t accepted.

You can:

  • report it to HTB via JIRA and they can fix it.
  • wait and repwn the box, it normally fixes after about 20 - 30 minutes but if people keep rebooting it will never fix.

Just remember, every time the box reboots, or you switch VPNs, it needs a new hash.

Same here

Definitely can relate to this one. I’ve tried a few things out but I’m surprised that it isn’t working. I’m sure it’s something trivial.

Anybody having issues with their root shell not persisting very long? I’ve managed to pop the root shell, but it seems to expire after ~5 seconds.

Can you please pm me the same thing? I just rooted Time also (with a little help from a friend) :wink: but we both experienced a very very unstable root shell. It’s enough to get the flag, but it doesn’t feel solid. Any advice to improve is very welcome!

Hello,

After a lot of days of enumeration and learning i found the right CVE. ( Or i guess I did )

Is any1 kind and can provide me some tips in regards to how can i make the exploitation?

I cannot write here what i tried so far, but I can send a personal email with everything that i tried.

If any of you with more experience can provide some hints to a noob like me, is more than welcome!

Thank you!

honestly though, why isn’t this box rated insane?

.

the user asked for sometime but the rest was easy except that the root shell was quite unstable. It can be kept next to traceback if i consider its easiness

I think i’ve found the vuln although there are two that I’m looking at. Not sure if maybe I am mistaken and maybe just going down a rabbit hole. I am getting an error “Objectno such class found" when trying to use "zh****.HC” class.

Can’t seem to get a foot hold on this one. I can get the error (V********n f****d:)but can’t seem to find any CVEs. Can someone help me out?

Rooted.

Hint for user: Start with latest CVEs first. Not doing this wasted a lot of my time.

PM for nudges.

Nice box. The hardest part is finding the right CVE after that its pretty straight forward.

Rooted!

Finally! It was super interesting on the user part. Big thanks to @zaphoxx for the hint on user. Since I’m so noob I actually had difficulty with root but finally found it.

User : it’s all about the right CVE
Root : there are alternatives to cron

Happy hacking :wink:

Hello.

Been searching for this CVE based of my enumeration and the comments on this thread. I’m having trouble. Could someone give nudge towards the correct CVE?

Thanks!

Edit: Got it.

Hello. Bit stuck on this one. I found the vulnerability but am having problems exploiting it. I think i have to compile my own java and then paste it in, but im having problems compiling something with javac. Getting errors like
Exploit.java:4: error: package com.sun.org.apache.xalan.internal.xsltc.runtime is not visible
Not sure I am even on the right track!

Im using javac 15.0.1

pwned box :smile: …easy box

user: CVE

root: basic enumeration

PM if you need help.
