For root: I am not getting the last shell, i’m using two sessions and think the PL is correct… anyone having similar issues?

EDIT: Rooted. Oh wow. I spent a day not being fast enough :slight_smile:

Really cool box!

initially I was going the right way, but didn’t know this kinda modification was even possible but hey learned smth new!

Lateral Movement + Root was really straight forward and rather easy then medium.

Thanks to the creater!

Rooted! Nice box.
Ask me for hints while it’s still fresh in my memory… I should take more notes :wink:

Rooted !

Initial Foothold : after all of your basic enumeration & stuff, you will be left with one thing to try out. think about all exploitable component in the web application. specially web applications !

User : it is all about hard enumeration to find what you need !

Root : if you find the exploit you can get root ! this is very interesting exploit and informative !

Thanks @mostwanted002 for this machine !

I could use a sanity check for root. I believe I’ve got the right exploit, I believe I’m executing it properly, but no matter my payload I don’t seem to get any sort of execution at all. Everything else looks right.

So it clearly depends on the exploit you are using.

If you are using the same one as I did, you need two sessions, one to run the command, grab the exploit and run the exploit.

The second to run the command.

Hrm, this is exactly what I’m doing. Even get the “No help topic” message as the demo shows. It just doesn’t appear that anything else ever actually happens.

I’ll have to go poke around some more.

I don’t know what I mucked up where, but I blew everything away and started fresh and it worked first try :shrug:

Rooted, fun box as there were new things to learn. The exploits were not too complicated to understand and execute, which made the box much more fun.

Foothold: Tell the browser that you are the boss
User: Look into the past
Root: impersonate him

PM if you need help

■■■■■■■■ it! Finally rooted, so annoying… typos were made, hurtful things were said.
I will learn to tripple check my sh*t

Somehow I managed to get the S** key for user. But if I try to login I always get a “Connection closed” message. Tho I think it is the right way, am I missing something?

My problem was that I just missed the name of user

Finally rooted it, that was hard. But I really enjoyed it. I found all the hints so far to be loads of help, PM if you need a nudge.

Can anyone give me a hint for user? I have checked all the notes and suspicious directories, including bks . Spent too much time for finding clues…

If you’ve looked in bks you’ve been in the right place. It’s not so much a clue as the thing you need to get into the box.

Thank you so much forr your help!! I got the user and am going to get root.
Your posts always helped me a lot.

Hi everyone, this is actually my first post in here. Anyway I’m trying to get a shell as root on the system but when I run the exploit I get an error message saying that “libgo.so.16:” doesn’t exist on the system. I am apparently doing everything correctly and can’t figure out why this is happening. Can anybody help me with this? Thank you in advance

Nevermind. I manage to get root!!! For those of you who are coming across the libgo.so.16 missing, just update golang on your machine and recompile the exploit.

FInished this box. Learn some new things while finding my way to get the initial shell. For root, you just need to make sure to follow the indications of the exploit.

Can someone ping me…I am getting 500 error after tampering certain thing
