Official Armageddon Discussion

I’ve got a foothold and i’m currently logged as a***he user rn, but i cannot seem to find any of the services that people are giving hints about. Running “ps ax” or “systemctl” also yields no info and i certainly don’t see any m***l service running. Maybe i need to reset the box? Or am i barking up the wrong tree?

Nevermind, my enumeration was poor. Got some m***l creds

My crafted s**p file doesn’t work. I tried many things but nothing. Does anyone had the same problem? Thanks a lot!

Rooted this machine.

Hints:
Initial foothold: enumerate the web app and use google
Getting a ssh session: find a user and keep asking access…
Root: ask what you are allowed to do and use that to your advantage

All in all a fun box, a little different than the usual and definitely one of the more real-life ones out there. Thanks to the creator!

Am logged in as ae with an adequate shell, can dump data from m, have found something that looks like a hash in a table but none of my cracking tools are working. Am I just bad at hash cracking or am I down a rabbithole?

EDIT: I was looking at the wrong thing because I didn’t search exhaustively at first. Once I found the obvious right thing it was easy with either hashcat or john

It should be cracked, are you using the good hashcat for example and with the good algo?
Can dm for more explain if spoiler.

Hah, I’m using “a” hashcat trying a couple of algo’s but it sounds like I need to keep trying.

EDIT: oops I missed something really obvious and was trying to crack the wrong thing. Lesson learned: grab the whole mess first and search it all before searching selectively

Can anyone message me a hint for root? I am going to try and craft something in curl but I am not overly confident…

The hint is not needed, you are on the right path as I saw in your post before.
Then look how you could use that information to gain more privileges. If you have found the way to go after and if you have crafted what you think you need there are ways to get it there.

Sure curl -O can be used, but it is not needed.

I hope i don’t spoil to much for you

Thanks for you help, @eMVee

Got initial foothold, and then got the user, but stuck at root.

Crafted s**p doesn’t seem to be working even with the special power of the user…Not sure where to go from here…Any nudges?

Nvm, just needed a fresh perspective on the approach. Got root with slightly more crafting

Any help?

Stuck as a*e user, can’t find any creds or get msl to work to dump creds as suggested by others…

I know the struggle, if you have the correct stuff you should be able to work with it. I had the issue that my connection was broken after 1 query. So maybe a oneliner will do it for you.

Not sure how to give a hint without spoiling, but if you think it should work, read the documentation how to use this thing.

Please make sure your password is correct
The password is simple without any symbols
j**n Cracking the hash may produce some strange symbols

If you haven’t found any creds yet, you should enumerate more. Always have a look at things you can read in the context of the user you’re logged in.
