Hi all, I cannot spawn a good tty shell. I am using 48*, I get the netcat, but when I try to spawn a real tty, it freezes (I have to close the terminal because I can no longer use it).
I use the
python3 -c âimport pty;pty.spawn(â/bin/bashâ);â
then ctrl+z
then
export SHELL=bash
export TERM=xterm256-color
stty rows 37 columns 114
reset
what do I do wrong?
It doesnât always work. sometimes you have to just use the shell youâve got.
The only shell upgrade step I used on this box was python -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
i commented yesterday said that i pieced little stuff together and that i canât wait to implement getting root today, turned out after another 12hrs of parsing ps output and reading docs, itâs a dead end (?)
then i came here collect hints wishing they would help which is another mistake, soon i find myself not thinking how a function work but is its name start with letter n or whatever, then i start to hate myself
finally i give up and go no brainer google every bus name with the word âvulnâ appended
now im sitting here not as proud as i expected, i thought im gonna be âMy first box! PM for nudges! ;Dâ but eh i still feel useless edit: also a bit foggy as i encounter so much terms while bumping around, would be happy if i truely made sense of them all, but im afraid i just developed a sys of rediculous theories hehe
that said will check out pm, if you think i can help why not : >
also yeah today i pasted some mysterious command into search box âwhat does this script do in the context of authentication?â âitâs terminal color codeâ
i still canât get over it
Initial foothold : Google
User1 : Look around
User2 : Look around
root : Corona time, catch a bus and get back home; don;t come out #staysafe
I know this is months late but I am just getting to this box. thank you. I hate looking for hints some times but this box had me really stumped until I read this
hmm, got foothold (nice one)
got user 1, user 2 but can use a hint to get root.
âstay home, public transportation and covid so use a maskâ left me clueless :neutral:
My second box on here. Pretty cool stuff!
I had gotten stuck after foothold for several hours but it seemed that I overlooked some files I found some time earlier so I looked at some hints on here and checked again and voila.
I actually tried the bus thing while I was trying to get user 1, so going back to that, it just took me 2-3 minutes to get root after user 2. And thankfully I didnât spend a lot of time to get user 2. That was very unexpected indeed.
If anyone is stuck, do what I did and read every comment from page 1. Really good hints in here.
Preparing for OSCP exam this box was my second active machine here. Iâm not coming from IT background but I fairly enjoyed working all the way through to get root. Have learnt heaps Thanks @ChefByzen
Noob here but Iâm trying to open the IP address in a web browser and Its just loading forever. Any advice would be great, sorry Im new to this but its an amazing skill to have.
Sorry for the noob question (long time without cracking boxes) Does anyone able to ssh it with user/pass only? Got some passes but cannot sshâthem. Thanks!
