Official Time Discussion

Got user, then root, after a bit of fiddling with the payload. Enjoyed this one - worth getting to know how this really works, and how significant this class of vulnerability is.

I just got user extremely easily. I think there was something running from someone else. Or is it meant to be that easy?

I found java POC code, I think it’s for the right CVE. But I get errors when compiling. Can I get a hint?

You shouldn’t need to compile an attack for this. You can use an injection which calls your attack file.

i saw your post and i said, i did this but why it didn’t work at all? hmm…
then i spend a little more time tweaking my inject script, and foolishly after examined it more closely i got a stupid typo on it. :cold_sweat:
thanks @TazWake your post keeping me in the right track. :blush:

and rooted!
now ready to help anyone,PM me for any hint or nudge

The foothold of this machine was unexpected to me but it taught me to look at errors in my validation payloads. After searching errors you will probably reach j*n r g****b pa so just implement it with little modifications.
Root: enumeration scripts will show you unexpected file…
If anyone needs help can send me a PM.

I am getting a weird fail message. “lock: 3 exclusive write lock requesting for SYS” when trying to reverse shell? Anyone knows what is this? I googled it but couldnt find something

Hello!!! I’m a beginner and learning the methodlogies…Could u please anyone help me for reaching out the Time…I have done enumeration …But I’m unable to find out …

You will need to find a vanurability of the website. Try different inputs and you will see some errors. Googling the errors will get you the correct CVE.
(note: I tried many different CVEs to find the correct one.)

Anyone on to discuss root? Think I know how to get there, but can’t seem to get it working

Edit: Never mind… Got it

Hello, I am completely new. I have googled all that I can understand and I would love a PM if anyone is willing to nudge me in the right direction

This is not a good box to start on. It is rated medium, but I would suggest that is down to how you don’t really need to create much unique code. It is not easy.

The basic advice is to google the error message, read the results, try something else. If that generates errors, google them and so on.

Eventually, this narrows it down to an exploit that - with a bit of modification - becomes successful. It is likely to need a fair amount of trial and error.

@TazWake

I actually gotten around to that and googled the error messages. And I found the right CVE I believe with all the hints. Now I guess I will have to figure out how to modify the exploit…

Awesome.

One of the frustrating aspects of this box is that all the answers are actually on the GitHub page but because it talks about a lot of different things, it can be really, really hard to work it out.

Ah! thank you! I will look at that now!!

Hey guys anoye can help me with a CVE, i have 2 days trying :frowning:

The last 5 digits of CVE adds to 18.
if you need any nudge pm me.

Any help with the following error: lock: 3 exclusive write lock requesting for SYS

Had the same problem. Dont worry its nothing. Your payload should be working despite that “error”. If not focus ont he payload :slight_smile:

medium that should be easy… easy that should be hard… what a mess

Great box if your enumeration skills are good and you get on the right track. if not, it’s a pain in the ■■■. User is definitely the harder part, getting root far too easy. Nevertheless learned a lot

As already said you need to find the right CVE to get user, root is pretty stright forward. Don’t overcomplicate the inital foothold…

Can anybody explain me what’s the footprints?
