Is anybody facing an issue in getting a reverse shell in Anonymous v6 CTF?
the commands are taking alot of time to work
please help if anyone has a better way to do it
@spark monolith I didn't face any issue
@spark monolith Don't pm me again without permission.
@tidal sedge sure
If you look at the log file, you'll see an entry for every 5 minutes
You should infer from it that something happens every 5 minutes ๐
i have got the reverse shell but it's taking a lot of time to respond this is due to the cleaning of log files every 5 mins?
If the reverse shell has executed then it will persist
Any input lag will be your connection
oh okay thanks @steady stratus
You can always ping the machine to verify any drastic latency
any hints on root of Anonymous?
@tardy python what cron jobs do?
i dont see any crons of root
Have you ran automated scripts yet? Linenum,LinPEAS?
They pretty much tell you the answer
any hints on root of Anonymous?
@tardy python linEnum can tell you something interesting for the escalation.
any hints on root of Anonymous?
@tardy python
check for some "ID" i think u can easily "SU" that VM. that was an easy room. just basic PrivEsc knowledge needed!
anyone can give a hint for lord of the root task 2 question 6?
Hi all, I'm on task 7 of the Ice room. They say that you should be able to to use the c code from exploit-db to do the same thing but no matter what i run or install i can't seem to get it to compile successfully. Has anyone else achieved this? Can you let me know if there is an issue with the code i need to correct or if it's an issue with my compiler configuration? I don't have any c background so trying to avoid debugging the script itself unless i know for certain that's the issue. Many thanks.
aaa any hints on unreadable thing in peak hill the ||encoded thing or whatever||
the task description is a bit of a hint ;)
okay good sir thank you very muchy
Iโm also on that room. I worked out what to do but it didnโt work so o feel I did it wrong somehow. I get an error suggesting about a MARK but I couldnโt fix it. Unsure what I need to do
@wooden mist mind if I shoot you a quick message please to see if Iโm on the right track?
are you sure the word was mark? if yes, please explain what you did in DM
@frail ferry that was an error I got. Not a clue or anything.
but doing what? (DM to avoid spoils)
Any hints for Anthem room, rdp credentials ?
you will have every information you need if you replied to #1 -> #7
Hello, I dont want to spoil anything but if someone can help with gatekeeper that would be great, i have a shell and working on root yet i have a question on it. Thanks
anthem room i need 1-7
...that's all of it
what
Hi, Im working through the Intro to x86-64. I'm stuck on the task 4. I was able to see the variable on memory but it does not match the answer. I got all the other flags except for the first one.
@stuck fractal is that for me?
@primal linden 1 to 7 is like either all or most of the room
@primal linden There's 8 questions in task 1
You asked for help with questions 1 through 7
There's a famous poem that's incomplete.
T1Q7 would be a much clearer way of asking
i got his first name
@primal linden for admin name, google the poem.
Hey VV. I'm the creator. My recommendation is to enumerate harder. ๐
Thanks i will try winPEAS again
I would enumerate a different way.
The challenge is meant to make you look passed your typical enumeration tools.
I'm streaming it in 8 minutes if you're interested. No pressure if you want to try on your own. Check out #thm-community-media for more info.
Rooted Anthem Room โค๏ธ
hints for getting user/pass for anthem room? (i logged into umbraco but i dont think thats where i'm supposed to be >_>)
rdp credentials?
actually, that's exactly where u suppose to be, but there is nothing much about what u trying to find.
and... since now, everything u found is the ANSWER of what u looking for
Alright, I figured it out. Thx for the help ๐
Elf, why not use "internet" and a cute "cat" on peak hill
I alredy did use both multiple times
nc?
@viscid mason using it is only useful when you got through the first part, not sure if elf got through it yet
๐ค YEah! ๐ any hints from ur side szymex73?
nope im stuck in decoding the wierd stuff
try harder Elf! ๐
im doing it
look at the image in the description 
Any hints on the first part? I am pretty certain about what to do with the weird part, but I am stuck enumerating things... well I am currently looking for things I have not enumerated yet.
there's one obvious thing that you should've picked up on a portscan
Any hints on (what I'm assuming is) the last part? Is there a specific thing I should look up? I'm regretting skipping python classes at college
I think I'm on the same part that you are @white salmon. You ever figure it out?
Yea it's the same idea that is used earlier in the room. Don't wanna go to deep into details
Gotcha
Hey for peak_hill it asks me to grow something any hints on that?
||total guess but look at the first 3 letters of the room?||
Hi, in anthem Taks 1 question 7, the hint says consult the oracle. but i can't seem to find the answer to the question, can anybody point me in a direction?
Hey guys
i need some help at the network service room
at the last question form task 10, where i need to get the ftp.txt file, i get the error that i have no permission to get it
although i logged in the ftp as mike
Hi, in anthem Taks 1 question 7, the hint says consult the oracle. but i can't seem to find the answer to the question, can anybody point me in a direction?
oracle means google in this case :)
yeah i got that far haha
@normal totem Permission denied locally
@glossy basin can you guide me a lietel biet in the direction you pointed me :S
didnt realize the pwd influences this
@normal totem You do know that pwd stands forprint working directory?
yup
does nc require sudo for reverse shell ๐ค
@white salmon Depends on the port you're using
how so?
The first 1024 ports require sudo
huh. thx for the info
do I need to specifically look at the one port in Peak Hill for a way in?
||ssh_pass||
@jaunty ember at some point, yes
anyone available for a little nudge on peakhill ? ||i have the all the ssh_user and ssh_pass things and i tried a bruteforce with all of this and also with a username i found (on ssh), but feel like i'm missing something - probably to do with that other port asking for a username/password||
i meant to put that in spoiler tags not that hahaha
can someone help my with anonymous v6? I edited ||clean.sh|| on the ||ftp-server|| but either i did something wrong or ||the script doesn't get executed by a cronjob||. am i missing something?
@sweet relic What did you add to the script?
@digital iris in what form do you have ssh_user/pass?
@wooden mist so it had like ssh_userRandomCharacters and ssh_passRandomCharacters so i tried them like that and i also tried stripping the ssh_user and ssh_pass off it but that didn't work either
but in what form do you have it? do you have it as a file or a ||deserialized array||?
Would he need to put the full filepath?
@stuck fractal Ooooh...of course it did ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
@solid sphinx For what?
@sweet relic Don't delete the file. put with the same name
as a file
@stuck fractal thank you ๐
nevermind
can i have a hint lmao
Dude
oh sorry
I literally just asked you not to post answers
man ls
man is really really wonderful
i cant find it
Also, a google search would have worked
ls long list format flag
Learn to do some research, rule 13
Have you tried googling it before asking here?
idk exactly what to google
There is no point in doing the room if youre asking us all of the questions
kk
@compact locust It's specifically for su
yeah
@compact locust sup
What is the value of the home environment variable
ive googled
ive lookd
i cant find it
Dolla sign
no like
I think
Read the $ Task
Ahhh
Learn how to view variables
i have
@compact locust You haven't if you can't find the value of that thing
let me dm it to you
ok i found it
There ya go
Just checked myself and found it on the first page that was highlighted by Google.
Oh wait, you found it.
Nvm
Yeah I did too
@verbal wedge your new machine is cracking my head ๐
What's your box @verbal wedge
Anon
Easy box
Yeah relatively
Nudge? getting cve for simple ctf?
I'll give it a bash when a get a free sec.
Might be a little too much for my level at the minute.
anyone know what this is doing in python? myvar = "A" * 0xA00 If I print it, it's a bunch of "A" chars, not sure what it's doing. I'm used to seeing lines like "A" * 100 to quickly create a var w/ 100 'A' chars but haven't seen the like of the first one before
hey anyone has a hint for me I'm stuck in flag75 "ctf 100"
@sharp mason 0xA00 is hexadecimal for 2560, so myvar would be equal to 2560 "A"s
ahh, thanks @stark pelican
am i on the right track ? i got into the panel for umbraco on the ANTHEM box am i sopposed to look around there for creds for R** or do i need to somehow spawn a shell then get creds that way??
@graceful sun look at your nmap scan again and see where you can use those creds
i got it already lol my bad guys
No worries
thank you!
any hints on The Impossible Challenge ?
Any hints on Peak Hill? I'm stuck at a string with a bunch of ssh_pass/ssh_user
^ ditto
I feel like there is more hidden in there
join vc, were discussing it
anyone awake that could provide a hint for pickhill?
only if you mean peakhill
where are you stuck at?
|| have found the .creds file in ftp and know it is pickled, unsure if i should decode it from binary first before trying to unpickle it, and either way, cant figure the right command to unpickle it correctly, guessing it involves setting the protocol.. been at this for 3 hours now ||
not really a command, it's better if you write a script to decode it :)
@pine orbit I haven't done the box, but I can tell you that ||pickle reads/writes in binary data rather than plaintext||
thats what i meant ๐
that's also I was thinking Ninja! ๐ธ
if you're not sure if you should decode the 1/0 before passing it to the decoder then why not try it with/without decoding the 1/0 prior to decoding the data itself
it will tell you if there's something wrong :)
i have tried it both ways, @wooden mist mind if i dm you about it so were not flooding this channel (ill send you some of the decoding things ive tried)
flooding the channel isn't a problem but this would probably go to #room-help though
Can anyone give me a hint on peak hill ||i've unpickled the data, and ordered the user and pass in the right order, but what am i supposed to do now. I've tried the creds on ftp ssh and the 7321 port but they dont work||
๐ค
Peak hill, I have a password but I don't got a username
wait nvm
am dumb

hello im in need of help once again i did get creds and now i don't know what to do with them
use them for ssh
i can't
okay
this might help
pickhill is reallly one hell of a room, isnt it?
it truly is
wdym decompile
@tardy python
check for some "ID" i think u can easily "SU" that VM. that was an easy room. just basic PrivEsc knowledge needed!
@viscid mason how do you exploit somthing without sudo password.
There are privilege escalations that don't involve sudo.
i ran linpeas and got somthing seem exploitable. try with SUID env but no success...
any hint?
@wanton gate There's caveats for GTFOBins
@viscid mason how do you exploit somthing without sudo password.
@wanton gate
that's the main role of PRIVILAGE Escalation. when u don't have password or anything, and u just go on wild and figure out things, I already gave u hint for this specific thing, u just need to figure out!
how do you exploit somthing without sudo password.
@wanton gate just test your things without sudo
thanks for your help. โค๏ธ
any hints on privesc?
for peak hill? it's a pickle farm, grow some pickles obviously
base64
base64 pickles best pickles
pickled base64 
try gib farm a base64

try to give base64 input to that python file
OMG!
why u search words that r not "..."
what is he doing ๐น
think bro think

hello, i have question about owasp juice shop
i read an article about it and writer solved broken auth part %50 guess
Finally done Peak Hill, I was making so many little mistakes
%50 techincal
Always trying to overcomplicate things
aaaa hint pls


Feel free to PM, I wont give too much away though!
can anyone please help me with flag 1 and 4 of anthem
use the source, luke
Want to start HackPark but don't want to spoil the 1337 users :p
I can't live with being the one to ruin it, so I've chose another box :p
Someone needs to.
@hollow gazelle Try writing a Python script that finds the flags for you. Atleast that's what I did. Regex + beautiful soup.
Or just CTRL+F your way through lol
@faint trail should i decode-something in Peak Hill
@sick sun the first ones?
@blazing turtle ?
are you asking about decoding the first set of creds you can get?
sure
Any hints on Peak Hill? ||I've broken out of the CMD shell and have access as dill on the box, not sure how to interact or reverse this binary in /opt||
@viscid bramble ls -lah in the dir, see what's up with it
Maybe try... running it?
I have done both, I don't know how to grow
@sick sun You're going to have to provide more information, is this for a THM room? If so which one? Which task and question?
Before initial shell, Peak Hill
Ah, I haven't done that one, through I've heard good things about the box
@sick sun The room page is full of hints
nice room this pickleboi was, but frustrating at times
hi could someone help me with the admin hidden password for Anthem room?
You've likely already overlooked it
Think how systems may have misconfigured permissions
@dusky vigil i found it thanks for your help
Anyone able to give nudge on how to escalate from www-data to jjamesonon Daily Bugle ?
Sure. Check the directory you initially land in in your shell for www-data. Investigate those files.
ty
Welcome.
Got root now ^^
no
๐ฆ
it's a hard room for a reason
ok no hints

there is one hint from the room's creator hidden deeeeeeep in one of the channels history on this discord
it can help but idk if you're on that stage yet 
aaa no hints
What critical file has had its permissions changed to allow some users to write to it?

Can anyone give me a hint at task 43 of 'Learn Linux' room?
i did
don't mind me james
thanks got the resolution
priv esc
@old root Look for files belonging to each and every user.
Thank you!
any other hint? I think i'm stuck
anyone help for blogengine ?
@cinder bluff What room?
@cinder bluff Please respect Rule 1. Don't DM people without making sure it's OK first.
Additionally, this is for help with THM rooms.
HackPark uses blogengine right?
@patent token They DM'd me unsolicited, then told me it wasn't a THM room, got angry at me for asking them to please follow rule 1, and then left.
Oh ok. Understood.
hey so where do i find the admin password do i wanna be looking into RDP for it ? like in files maybe? i did a winpeas didnt get much still looking lol any hints
Can you please share a good deal more information about that please?
What room, task, etc.
Ok, I feel sorta stupid but I can't figure out the last question in the Linux room (task 43)
I think I'm on the right track for what the vulnerability is
but I'm not sure how to escalate with it
Hey @hollow bay try to look for files belong to each and every user
Am I correct in noticing the || files with the SUID bit ||?
And somehow changing one of those since I can write to them?
Or am I way overcomplicating this
It's way more simple than that
@hollow bay For reference, if you write to a SUID file then it loses it's SUID bit
@stuck fractal Yeah I learned that the hard way by trying to cat a shell script and > into the file
it is the anthem room task 3 Q 3 looking for the admin PW
nvm found the file
yo i need help with Obscure Web Vulns has anyone completed it?
@cloud perch don't ask to ask, just ask
im stuck on task 9. "what parameter allows us to generate a poc(acttual exploit)" for csrf

@glossy basin I am asking about the windows administrator password.. I have got that domain admin password.. and I am in the RDP
An in depth and illustrated guide to how the robots.txt file works and what it should say.
last second task in the room
sure
yeah.. I tried show all the folders and files with folder options
great
I found some backup folder but I cant's access them
yes
my hint would be to look into file permissions :)
I guess you'll find your way around now
okay thanks!
did you check the robots.txt
@indigo ridge the hint is in the poem
@indigo ridge pm me
okay thanks!
@indigo ridge
@indigo ridge the hint is in the poem
@cloud perch I got it.. Thankyou very much
It was permissions
no
Room Network Services TASK 7 # 11 still not receive ping respond
For Gatekeeper, is digging into ||gatekeeper.exe via strings|| worth my time or am I missing another way in? I've tried ||uploading my own executables via SMB on the User share|| but am not getting a hit on my listener...
is it bug ?
I have some doubts on authenticating the RDB in Anthem box, can i get some help?
M3talhead, there is only one way on to that machine. Uploading to the SMB isn't it unfortunately. It's a nice try though. ๐
@vernal ridge if you've done the previous tasks you should already have the credentials, read the questions carefully
yeah i did , but the creds didnt work!
i did read, but dint get it , can i pm, i dont wana be a spoiler
feel free to say it over here between ||
hi all.. any chance of a clue for "Linux Challenges 5.4" - Using SCP, FileZilla or another FTP client download flag32.mp3 to reveal flag 32.?? I've SCP'd the file locally but now stuck!
what does .mp3 imply
||i used umbraco exploit to access the machine, but i couldnt find any creds to enumerate, but everyone said abt RDP to access the machine, but the creds i used to complete task 1, but i didnt got any access to RDP||
there is no exploit for you to run
you already have the credentials to access the machine
Umbraco exploit?
@tidal sedge yeah!
And did the exploit work?
what does .mp3 imply
@past night So I tried playing it but nothing...
i got less prev shell using it
@past night Fix ๐
fix what lol
Seems like they found an exploit
what exploit
7.12 shouldn't work
it gives only less prev shell
https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46153, this one!
That's an authenticated exploit
That means you already have the creds
hmm, that's unintended
@past night ๐ข
That means you already have the creds
@tidal sedge yeah! for umbraco , not for RDP
@vernal ridge Have you ever heard of ||password reuse ๐||
i dint type any domain name
are you getting the ding ding ding?
no dude!
lol. read what malware said
@vernal ridge Have you ever heard of ||password reuse ๐||
@tidal sedge i know, also i am compelled to use the only creds i got
what does domain mean to you
also, if it's after an hour the machine might've closed itself down (it's a bug)
whenever i was asked to login using RDP, it asked a user , password and domain, i left the domain unfilled
also, if it's after an hour the machine might've closed itself down (it's a bug)
@past night ๐
that's not what it means
oh
OHH, got it buddies
please fix the exploit ||the exploit gives me a low privilege, and also gives me chance to look what is the user name,jzt now everything ring a bell on what i saw when i got a shell ||
Mhm it's pretty interesting you got an exploit - it's unintentional in the sense that I don't think it needs to be fixed?
However your thoughts are welcome @past night ^^
M3talhead, there is only one way on to that machine. Uploading to the SMB isn't it unfortunately. It's a nice try though. ๐
@patent token That being the case, is the vulnerable dialect the way in then? It was the first thing I thought of after I got a full enumeration. I'm familiar with ||the MS17_010 family of exploits||, but none are landing ||(even though NSE output indicated that SMBv1 is default)||. If this is a rabbit hole, it's a good one...
There are no kernel exploits. The executable you found is the answer. It associates with a port running on the machine.
That said, this portion is somewhat advanced and requires knowledge in that type of exploitation.
Right. The right enumeration returns a lot of information about that port. I can see in strings where the executable makes the call to that port as well. I'll dig deeper in the exe.
@vernal ridge not sure how you got the exploit working, lol:
wait !
the exploit it for 7.12.4 and the website is running 7.15.4
actually the right execution made it work
M3talhead, you wonโt glean much information from that outside of a link I didnโt know existed.
The secret isnโt inside the executable, itโs what you do to it.
M3talhead, you wonโt glean much information from that outside of a link I didnโt know existed.
@patent token Thanks! I just fired up the debugger and was about to deepdive. lol
yeah i consider the impact is minimal so it should be fine @vernal ridge so i'll leave it as it is
kinda yes!
i'll let people struggle with it haha
๐
@patent token ...when you say it's what you "do" to the file, you're not talking about modifying it offline and replacing it, right? Just asking for clarification since you mentioned in a previous reply that uploading isn't the way in. It's probably something stupid simple, I'm just overthinking it.
||itโs a buffer overflow exploitation||
Nice rabbit hole! I noticed the ||\VBOXSVR\dostackbufferoverflowgood...|| in strings and the debugger but was going for the low hanging fruit first.
Not supposed to be a rabbit hole. ๐ I didn't make the path completely obvious, but there is truly ONLY one way onto the machine, and one way to escalate privileges.
Hi everyone, Room "Network Services" Task4/#8 "Now, use the information you have already gathered to work out the username of the account. Then, use the service and key to log-in to the server" > I have no clue on how to get John Cactus' password to ssh into the server.... any hints ? Did I miss something ?
@white salmon Do you know about SSH keys?
Do you know what they do though?
Explain to me what you think
I have both John's public and private
I need the private to authenticate myself when I ssh
but I need a password right ?
Ok, so why are you asking how to get the password?
No
The SSH key authenticates you.
OK i have done something wrong then
Yep.
do you agree that sometimes you need a password to ssh no?
right
There's a lot of ways you can authenticate to SSH
Username and password is one
Username and RSA key is another
I'm confused with the password vs passphrase
passphrase is for the RSA key
This key doesn't have it
A passphrase is for the cryptography. They're meant to be longer than a password.
That doesn't make sense
@white salmon You don't need a password to authenticate with an id_rsa
If you're being asked for a password, you're doing something wrong
If there's a big box that says permissions too open, make sure to actually read that and fix it
ok
@white salmon You don't need a password to authenticate with an id_rsa
@stuck fractal thanks to you I just discovered "ssh-add" > i was always asked for my passphrase when I was ssh-ing to my server, now I am not anymore ๐
@white salmon Passphrase is for the key
It just decrypts the key
Password is for the server
Yeah I know, but I think i never really paid attention to the difference between passphrase and password, and now I do
I think I have identified a potential issue : the "id_rsa.pub" file is understood as a Microsoft Publisher file
therefore it doesn't find the public key and asks for a password. It is what I understood from the verbose mide
mode
Ignore me, wrong channel, wrong topic ๐
no probs
Not supposed to be a rabbit hole. ๐ I didn't make the path completely obvious, but there is truly ONLY one way onto the machine, and one way to escalate privileges.
@patent token Good job regardless...๐... I've gotten to the point where I can abuse and connect to the exe when it's hosted on the local machine, but when I swap the local IP in the exploit for the target IP, the target doesn't connect. Have you had this happen before? Same exploit, same listener.
I can DM screenshots if that helps...
So, there's one tiny detail you're probably missing in your dump.
If you need help on that specific part.
You'll have to scroll forward to that point though.
God I'm an idiot...
@white salmon Nope
id_rsa.pub is the public key
You authenticate to the server with the private key
is binex broken?
is binex broken?
@night rivet I done it 2 weeks ago with no issue.
@wraith marsh Task 8 onwards is an excessive step
@wraith marsh Task 8 onwards is an excessive step
@stuck fractal I thought he was talking about the room called binex, my bad
The room called โbinexโ works perfectly fine if thatโs what heโs on about
If I remember correctly bof1 is the one that's broken(still doable but not suitable for beginners) ๐ค
Yeah, someone posted a write up for bof1. It looks like You have to rewrite the shell code.
Need help for this for order only for room ccpentesting task 20 subtask 9
I have all i need to create a command i tested command and command work but when i submit the flag its say is not good but i know its is. Anyone that can help me DM only. I will supply my command and i just wont to tell if i am missing anything or its parameter positioning
@silent wasp No one is going to dm, if you want help from the community then ask here.
OK
Given the username "admin", the password "password", and the ip "10.10.10.10", how would you run ipconfig on that machine
this is my answer and its not good but it is.
smbmap -u 'admin' -p 'password' -H 10.10.10.10 -x ipconfig
omg
guys stuck at unix varient with $6$ , any hints
@tribal ginkgo Those questions are specifically designed to be easily Google-able, so Rule 13: Keep trying ๐
(If you get really stuck, try looking for example hashes for hash crackers)
i get that $6$ is for sha512 kind , that we can configure
do i need to find the varient that comes with this default
i guess i got it https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt
@inland onyx thanks
@patent token Wow...that was a brutal room. I admit that I broke down and had to follow your spoiler to get past the BOF detail I missed. Was chugging right along with normal privec stuff too...right up until I needed to use the last tool to get creds (I was staring at the objects I received, not knowing what I'm supposed to do next with them). Back to the video and it all clicked.
Thanks for a great room!
Thanks for the words! Glad you got it done. ๐
Was it that one tiny detail that got it fixed for you M3talhead?
To get the callback, yes. I forgot about the payload path that was being used during testing. Was still using it when I was ready to hit the target.
After that, it was relatively smooth sailing until it came time to extract the final creds from the 4 loot artifacts. Might have gotten through it on my own with a little more time researching tools, but I was getting antsy and running out of time.
Hehe. Well, it doesn't matter if it's pretty or not. You got it done. Congratulations!
If you did it using the automated process, try doing it manually this time. ๐
If you want more of a challenge with those creds.
There's another way to collect them.
I was starting down the ||NT.dat|| rabbit hole and spent a good hour trying to pull out usable info before I saw your note about going back to the exe. It definitely got me out of my comfort zone and forced me to A) fix things that I'd been avoiding {Wine .dll errors} on Kali, B) re-introducing myself to ruby, and C) getting "outside" native Kali tools.
Not actually meant to be any rabbit holes on the machine honestly.
I actually started my callback attempts using raw methods before it became apparent that my conversations were not going to go anywhere.
Though when that wasn't working, I did jump back into MSF and run the usuals for that target.
It was around that time you mentioned that creating uploads was not the ECP.
Here's the most important question. Were you able to learn anything from it?
Without a doubt.

Hey any hints about flag1 and flag4 in the anthem box?
@light dew Funny you ask as I've just completed that box.
It's so f******** slow
I am doing the final part
Oh I thought you said you were doing flags?
The final part isn't the flags? Do you need assistance with the flags or the getting into the box?
Well user should be easy enough if your inside the box.
Guys any help on the Peak Hill machine, im close to root flag I think
I just need a nudge on the right way
im enumerating the file in opt
Find out what it does
what it does is it requires an input in base64
and I have supplied it with all the possbile input even making a python script, but I get that it can't be grown on the peak fill farm
I googled peak hill farm, and I dont want to travel there ๐
I know that its something related to the python module PICKLE, we have done it in the very first step
but this peak_hill_farm file isn't doing any good, idk what to do im lost at it
You're in hints
Look at the python documentation for pickle
Like, the first page
im doing linux challenges, and on flag 32 you're supposed to ftp a file but it keeps refusing to connect, any hints please? :/
I'm on HackPark right now. Got a shell, got System but I'm too stupid to find the abnormal service. Any hints, please? ๐
I don't want to be spoonfed
I ran ||ps and searched the output with regex [a-zA-Z0-9\\]{16}\.[a-zA-Z]{3} to match the answer pattern.|| But still no success ๐ฆ
can someone give me a hint about which wordlist to use on Lian_Yu i got the first two flags
Ok so i am very close to the root
@stuck fractal thanks for the helps
but I have just one last thing
and i cannot figure it out at all
Can't cat the flag?
John made it hard.
I tried running the netcat
cat all files in the dir
i did
Wait do you have a root shell?
Get a root shell.
so what I did was instead of using netcat to get a reverse shell on my machine
what I did was, i just did ls -la /root/ in the payload
and i can see the contents of the root directory, but I cannot cat it out
Get a root shell.
and I have done so many things with netcat but I cannot get a connection back
yes it is
and i also tried sudo su -
and im in the root shell
but i cannot cat the root.txt
its weird file
You won't be able to cat it
yes idk why
hello, may i take a help to solve python challenge?
Don't ask to ask, just ask ๐
@wispy verge Are you looking for help or hints?
help
oki doki sorry
Lian yu, tried gobuster with dirb big and dirbuster medium and found a hidden page but nothing that matches what I'm looking for or gives me more info. And hints?
I'm in the same boat James is in.. any little tid bit would be greatly appreciated
I'm in the same boat... I found the webpage and I believe I can post something to it but not sure if I'm on the right track..
You're further along than me
I found the main page, and one other
I aint finding anything
im suck at a point in the new box Lian_Yu i have the ticket and i was forsure thinking it was a ||youtube|| ext but cant figure out wth to do with it i tried burp couldent find any fields that looked like it could be put im just really stuck lol
I found something!
Nice!
That's where I'm at.
@graceful sun pls a hint on how to get the .ticket
Fair enough.. letting her run even longer lol
do same thing you did to get to the first page that was hidden but add something @white salmon
if someone wants to PM me they can also
at this point i might download new wordlists
@white salmon Dirbuster medium
Are you on Kali?
Ah
Get the wordlists
is it too early for me to be asking questions on Lian_Yu
Dirb wordlists aren't the same as dirbuster wordlists
@graceful sun You can always ask, you just might not get an answer
im suck at a point in the new box Lian_Yu i have the ticket and i was forsure thinking it was a ||youtube|| ext but cant figure out wth to do with it i tried burp couldent find any fields that looked like it could be put im just really stuck
found the ticket with the medium list
Again, IDK how people are finding tickets
I found the page with the vid
From there, I found the creds with some more gobuster
wait your working on the box right now as well?
yes i have the ticket
nvm i found some help , thanks yall
I feel like I'm overlooking something so simple.
@oblique dagger ||A . in front of something related to computers has two meanings. Either a hidden file, or a file extension. Gobuster can do extensions||
Gosh dangit.. I knew i was overlooking something.. lol thank you
I'm hitting a wall on Task 3 in anthem, I feel like I'm running out of places to look for the RDP login, could I get a nudge in the right direction? I don't want a spoiler by any means
Anyone here tried the gatekeeper buffer overflow yet? I feel like I'm getting close but they have some memory protection stuff to work around
ASLR?
SEH i think
I mean I found a few articles about bypassing SEH
yeah same. i think i'll get it ๐ learning a lot
@robust nymph you already have the details. Read task3 q1 carefully
@stuck fractal I've ran the medium wordlist on all three directories you find in the beginning with the ext but I still haven't gotten anything. Am I allowed to post my command here if I put it in a spoiler?
403 doesn't mean you got a folder
@oblique dagger https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_403
HTTP 403 is a HTTP status code meaning access to the requested resource is forbidden for some reason. The server understood the request, but will not fulfill it due to client-related issues. IIS defines non standard "sub-status" error codes that provide a more specific reason ...
@past night Okay, so it's from the creds I have, maybe I just have to modify it to work as a username?
@stuck fractal I've ran the medium wordlist on all three directories you find in the beginning with the ext but I still haven't gotten anything. Am I allowed to post my command here if I put it in a spoiler?
@oblique dagger dm if you need help with gobuster
oof third hand ping
i wasted 3 hours using the wrong wordlists
Dirbuster 2.3 medium works fine
yep
Thanks, with that little hint I was able to find the file I needed for the password. Much appreciated
In Task3 q1 is it suggesting RDP is not the way to go? I'm thinking I just don't understand domains and RDP enough
@robust nymph Ignore domains unless you're doing AD stuff
If you log in to a machine that is part of a domain, you need to use DomainNameHere\UserNameHere as your username
It's just saying don't worry about doing that
Username = username
Ahh okay that makes sense, but brings me back to my original wall now lol
For that question, it also means drop the domain from the email address
So rather than logging in with <user>@<domain>
You'd log in with <user>
Ohhhhh okay, so I'm probably just trying to login with the wrong user. Thank you both of you
Hello, i'm new to this site. Currently on the Learn Linux room, i'm stuck on the true ending task where i have to access the root/root.txt where i dont have the permission to.
- I have tried to look for accessible file which has contains password as its name, find nothing useful here
- I have tried to look for file contains root, find nothing useful too.
- Tried to access the etc/shadow/ and etc/sudoers but apparently no permission to that too.
- Tried to chmod the root folder, but still no good (have no permission)
Anybody could give me a hint on what might be to do?
Thanks!
@scenic bolt Look for files belonging to each and every user
Got it! Let me try out that one
Man... Idk if I was trying it totally wrong before. But after a fresh reset of the box the creds I failed with before worked like a charm. Finally RDP'd into the box
Sorry if thats out of place, just happy to finally get it lol
hey, i got the ticket on lian yu and i tried all the bases (even with rots) to decode it with no success.. any hint?
@jolly mantle You didn't try all the bases then
hello everyone
can you give me a hint for the new box lian_yu?
i cant find the directory for the first flag
i found one directory but is not what the flag needs
Hey James, I got the password, I'm in FTP and would I be on the right track if I needed to look at the files inside my users home folder? Am I on the right track?
gobuster in luan_yi is a bit pain in the ass i guess
@jolly mantle You didn't try all the bases then
@stuck fractal i will try again.. as far im concerned ive tried base[32,58,62,64,85]
@jolly mantle DM me
ok
@oblique dagger There's a few files, grab all the non default ones. Look for hidden as well
Ok cool I did. So I jsut need to keep attempting. Thank you
@grand pivot directories can have other directories inside them
@stuck fractal @grand pivot got something from medium in reaaaaaal white
but i guess is not useful yet
It comes in very handy
i need the... numbers?
yup, we need numbers
gobust the things you found
progress %44 on medium lol
Don't stop at 1 level
@stuck fractal what do you mean
that i have to be recursive
im not sure what i should understand from here lol
@viral mason https://tryhackme.com/games/koth for example
/games contains /koth
Gobuster would find games
/koth would be a second command in gobuster
now we are on track
yeah
thanks james let me try it
im a bit sleepy i didnt understand at first sorry lol
yup, found it @grand pivot
yeah! me too
So I'm on the machine now, I'm lost trying to find the Admin password, I found ||/backup/restore.txt|| but do not have access, I turned on hidden files. Is it a file I'm looking for? or more of a privesc route?
Am stuck on the crackme2(task 7 of Intro To x86-64), any help would be appreciate
@verbal wedge here's the hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a4VvRWTD3Ok&
@stuck fractal any nudge for ftp username?
Don't tag the room creator because you're struggling
@viral mason Codeword should have been codename IMO
let me search further
@white salmon the YouTube link. Open it.
[*] ret020 Cron jobs....................................................... yes!
---
/etc/crontab:SHELL=/bin/sh
This looks suspicious
@scenic bolt Look for files belonging to each and every user
@stuck fractal Thanks for the advice, solved it!
I've watched that compilation too many times
@verbal wedge you're not going to get root on learn linux with linenum or linpeas
yeah im stuck
@stuck fractal thx james got it
hello pls hint at ||hiden|| in room madness
@white salmon you mean the one with secret?
yah
@white salmon that was fast.
um after ||checking the source code, you can see that it's between 0-99||
then, you can either do basic python scripting
or manually try it
Can anyone help with the last task in INTRO TO x86-64
but i suggest you to do the scripting, it can teach you something if you dont know it
even you know it, it would be a nice practice on get requests
Yep I'm stuck on getting the flag here for Learn Linux
optional really did a great job with madness btw
i really liked that room but by the same time i really said you crazy .... when the rot thing happened lol
@verbal wedge i want to help but i dont remember what i did on that one
im really stuck
@verbal wedge which part?
getting the flag lol
@verbal wedge look for files belonging to each and every user
so uh im stuck... i got the thing and now idk what to do with it .. hint ?
@white salmon ask questions better jeez
its done ๐
Saw a question a little bit ago about Gatekeeper. There are no ASLR memory protections in place on that machine/challenge.
If you're seeing that, you're doing something wrong.
He's not banned. Looks like he left though
thanks @inland onyx
could you give me a hint for the box [Lian_yu]
I got password for ssh, but I can't find the username...
@woven pumice there's a hidden file on FTP with a short story
A few potential usernames in there
ls -a to list hidden files works in FTP as well
You should always look for hidden files
Hi guys! What kind of hint could you give me for the room : Wgel CTF
I already have the ssh key
But can't connect to it. The ssh2john tell me there isn't any password
I'm sure I miss something else
thats good that means the ssh key doesnt need one just use it to ssh into the machine now
I tried
But it asks me for a password
I used the flag -i to specify the id_rsa file
@solemn smelt
As you can see on this capture
I believe you may have to change the premissions of the id_rsa
I did it too, set it to 600
oh you have to specify the user youre trying to ssh as
if you dont know I would suggest further enumeration
Ok, that's what I thought, I miss information
I'll continue to search for something like this
help with a flag in learning linux, i swear i have the answer but its not accepting it.
task 12 im switching shells to shiba2 but the password that was correct in task11 will not work.
"environment variable"
su automatically connects you to su (with the password)
try typing ls
and you'll see shiba2
@shut whale
hello everyone,can you give me a hint for the new box lian_yu?
i cant find the file name with SSH password.
i got the pass from ./shiba2 but it says its wrong
@regal vessel did you do stegh to find SSH ?
any hints on "CC: Radare2" room on the_final_exam binery
need a hint on lian_yu for finding the SSH password. I can see the hidden files and got the pictures but I can't seem to get anything out of it. tried steghide, but I don't have the passphrase. any hints?
@marble dagger maybe you can guess or brute that passphrase
Please.. need some hints on task 2 of https://tryhackme.com/room/lianyu I tried with dirb but nothing came out
@neon acorn means Stegh not help to find ssh ?
need a hint on lian_yu for finding the SSH password. I can see the hidden files and got the pictures but I can't seem to get anything out of it. tried steghide, but I don't have the passphrase. any hints?
@marble dagger hey.. if you are doing the same room can you tell me something about the 2nd task..
Please.. need some hints on task 2 of https://tryhackme.com/room/lianyu I tried with dirb but nothing came out
@indigo ridge use gobuster
medium you know
@sinful plaza Stegh help us to find SSH ?
@sinful plaza Stegh help us to find SSH ?
@north moat which task are u stuck??
#5
it's not the tool problem
@glossy basin medium is the way forward lol
@indigo ridge did you try dirbuster or gobuster?
yeah, i know
#5
@north moat found images already???
im also on LianYU - for some reason the ||Leave_me_alone.png doesnt open...|| i think that may have something in but binwalk doesnt find anything file magic number
@potent quail
remove the spoilers
@past night sorry done
ah sorry
yeah, it's fully related to the answer
ah ok
yeah, it's fully related to the answer
@past night I modified the file header of the image file, but only a little content is displayed, is this normal?
@sinful plaza i fix that file , its Mp4 but not play anything
@sinful plaza i fix that file , its Mp4 but not play anything
@north moat not mp4 it a image
is png right?
@north moat not mp4 it a image
@sinful plaza
yes , but i mean inside that png .
yes , but i mean inside that png .
@north moat ||go after jpg||
is png right?
@sinful plaza
@regal vessel ||go after jpg||
can i dm ?
sure bro
mind if i DM quick please?
sure Dm Me @potent quail
Do you know guys what a type of problem is it?
I dont know any file extensions that have 6 characters
So im not sure what to search with the dirb
You don't need dirb to find the extension, simple enumeration of a webpage will help you find the filetype
For the file type, you only need fuzzing and inspect element
Ahh ok thanks
And I'm not sure what the code word is helpful for yet, but maybe it will be later lol
That will come in later, I think for Q5
Ah ok thanks
First time doing a medium level room aswell
Abit of a challenge so i thought y not lol
im done Lian_Yu Room
Oh dam everyone too quick
yeah! โค๏ธ community!
First time doing a medium level room aswell
@grand pasture It's ranked as an easy room
Oh,? I thought the thingy was orange rather then green
Oh no if its supposed to be easy then I think im not supposed to be stuck lol
@warm schooner What wordlist should i use with dirbuster to find the file? Because it's been going for a while and its still not found it ๐ฃ
I used 2.3 medium
Ok I was using small
The wordlist shouldn't matter too much as you're looking for numbers
