On the main page on the bottom right is a button you can use to create a new discussion.
You can message me on this. If you want to send a direct message, click on my name and send me a message. I am not sure how contacting me in different ways from asking questions on the forum will help though.
Foothold: The usual web pentesting tools will basically point out anything you need. But the info is also pretty obvious. The way to get a shell is very generic and well documented in countless articles.
User: Really a lot of stuff to look through. Yes, you can run scripts if you play around a bit and some of them might help a bit. It’s a bit of a paperchase unless you just stumble on it by accident.
Root: Very basic enum and then google what you found
I’m still having problems with this box… I’ve reset it a couple times, still the issue persists.
I logged into the website, and I’m trying to edit files to gain a shell, however, it will not let me update any php files, whether in the theme editor or if I try to edit plugins. I keep getting this error:
“Unable to communicate back with site to check for fatal errors, so the PHP change was reverted. You will need to upload your PHP file change by some other means, such as by using SFTP.”
My research has shown that the issue is usually caused by plugin conflicts, or editing other setup/config files… However I’ve not edited anything, and plugins are deactivated by default. I even had a friend start the box the same time I did, they rooted it, and I’m here stuck with errors. Super frustrating knowing what and how to do what I need to do, but not being able to because I don’t know how to get around this error. Never had an issue before when it comes to editing a WP file to gain shell access…
I too had issues with this step. I believe others have had luck with a Framework, but I found a pretty cool script on GitHub that made the plugin for me and spun up a multi-handler listener

Any help would be appreciated…
Find my post here , it has a hint on what you are struggling on
PM if it feels too cryptic
i ssh into the box as k*** with a found password, i got directly into root, my guess is that thats not the intented way, please dont break the machines too much :neutral:
Enjoyable box. I did go for a simple, “automated” path to foothold because I was really frustrated after a day failing to get anywhere on tentacle, but it does look like there are a few ways to get a foothold which is pretty cool.
Privesc was nice and you don’t see it very often here but google is your friend.
Rooted! Nice box, spent too much time in the foothold part, I felt so stupid when I realized that what I needed was literally under my nose.
Did manage to get a shell without M*F but with a “classic” approach (google is your friend).
User I initially overlooked the output of enumeration tool, but with a deeper look spotted what I needed.
Root part is easy but I learned something new that I didn’t know.
finally rooted! great box. took me some time for user due to the unusual OS but the green vegetable did help. path to root was new to me. probably easy to someone who is familiar with this functionalities. unfortunately it looks like someone already put up an indirect writeup for root on the net (it doesnt say explicitely so but the screenshots are a kind of an obvious giveaway) and using google will show it as one of the first hits.

Unfortunately yes, I fell into this trap, but I don’t consider it as “cheating”, because the article explains how the privesc works. I would have learned something

I guess it is a bit of a greyish area in this particular case. It is similar to looking up things in e.g. gtfobins.

So, you know what it is. Look in every crack and hole. You need to get the interesting thing in a specific place.
User
Just more of the same, read every thing, your usual enumeration.
Root
Actually pretty fun to be honest, new for me personally.
See which groups you’re in and check what kind of files can you play with.
Do your usual enumeration and once you put the pieces together and find the files to play with, play with them, but be quick. You don’t have all day.
Once you realize a way to execute commands you’ve basically got endless ways of escalating privileges.
