so i think i’m really stupid here. I got a shell and spent so much time almost 3 days trying to get a user flag using enumeration that everyone is talking about but really couldn’t! i used linux enumeration script l*np**s.sh and it got me so many files and i almost looked into all of them with nothing! I know i’m a beginner so i think i’m missing a something fundamental here?

i found so many passwords that are default ones and tried them all on the box and mysql and ssh but no luck. something is definitely wrong with me.

if anybody is willing to help i would appreciate it.
