It was a good box. I learned a lot, mainly about privesc.
I am grateful for the help the @EternalB1ue and the @kfupm
If anyone can help on s**********y bypass, that would be really good. I have been trying a lot of methods but don’t find anything.
Nice privesc! 
Thought it would be simple but it turned out trickier than I thought, which is a welcome surprise!
Not a fan of the phase from initial foothold to user though…
Some tips: (again if mods feel this is too spoilery please feel free to edit)
Initial foothold: If I gave you a CTF web problem that asks you to search something, what’s the first thing you should try?
User: Google around for some bypasses
Root: Just blindly following a certain well known website won’t give you everything, there’s more to it than what’s given.
As always, DM me for more tips!
rooted!
funny box with basics from beginning to end
feel free to PM for hints, but only if you show me what you tried (and try harder)
BTW when editing the comment i get Unknown column 'Active in ‘field list’ in this forum. is it vulnerable to something?
rooted!

Nice Box !
User : Nice privesc w*******a to user.
root : Hard for me, I was in the good way but I lost time… Enumerate 
I learn a lots for the root
thx for this box
DM me if you need
After digging myself into a hole, I got user and root in quick succession.
I definately learned alot about linux service management on this one. Kudos to the box creators, it was fun
Taught me something new, thanks so much for the box manulqwerty and Ghostpp7 \m/
Thanks to @albertojoser for tips that pointed me in the right direction and got me unstuck.
I didn’t get banned despite all my efforts - so still not sure what would trigger that?
For root - comment by @rub1ks (my thanks) pretty much tells you how.
rooted. had to restart it, because I couldn’t get a stable shell which - in my case - is a must to root this machine.
Rooted, if anyone needs help, DM me

I won’t post the exact specifics, but from looking at the code it appears that you have to make X number of requests which are flagged within Y seconds. If that happens, you’ll get a 90 second ban.
Basically, a targeted attack is more likely to work than having an automated tool send a bunch of random probes which is likely to trigger the ban.

Depending what point you’re at in the process, you can potentially also echo a key into authorized_hosts at which point you can just ssh in.
any nudge for initial foothold would be appreciated.
Hint for foothold:
Scope out the entire hotel, don’t forget to check every “room”
Wow, Jarvis is fun, but I can’t make much progress. The server is getting beaten too badly by people. Crawls, then gets reset, crawls, reset, etc. Guess I can wait until things calm down. Or go VIP again. I’m not going to spoil anything, but here’s a tip. If you look up Infoblox NetMRI 7.1.4 Shell Escape / Privilege Escalation, you might just learn something, about yourself no not really, more about shells.
This was a good one… Learnt alot… Can PM me for help if you want
