I’m still having problems getting the root flag. I’ve tried numerous commands, but I’m probably doing something wrong. It either times out or some other reason.
Like many have suggested, enumeration of the box is really really handy in this case. There is a magic sentence somewhere in there:D
I’m trying to get the root, I ran the bash script but I’m having the following error:
/bin/bash monitor.sh -i nibbler
TERM environment variable not set.
su: must be run from a terminal
Installation failed
Need some help with Priv Esc. Have located the file that does not need passwd for root, have gone through artcles on sudo abuse. every time I run the script I get promted for a password. Have gone through all the comments and still not able to figure out the execution method. Could someone nudge me a bit further? happy to PM if any one’s around
Never Mind… Just rooted it. Found the issue. As mentioned before it’s all in the details. All I can say is that not all programs are in their proper location. hope it’s not too spoilery
tried combinations of default admin credentials as well as variations of Nibbles nibbles nibble etc etc - I know everyone kicks themself with the credentials but I tried all the obvious ■■■■
Stuck with priv esc. I know the user files have a lot to do, but I can’t find a way how to exploit that. Any nudge, help, hint via PM would be really appreciated. I’m ready to facepalm myself already!
Rooted, too - and I over-thought privilege escalation. Learned a lot about upgrading dumb shells to full terminals which i did not need in the end. I think I discarded the simpler way of doing things because I took an irrelevant timeout error too seriously and was too impatient … and then went on to search more complicated solutions.
