||must_practice_corrupt_file.mp3|| it's rabbit hole? πŸ€”

white salmon
#

eventulally i will figure out the context structure to make this do what i want it to do on cage. know the path to cage, justneed to ... um... break it in a way i want to break it to do the thing i want it to do ... sometimes easy boxes make you feel really stupid when you can't make simple python do what you want it to do 😦

#

You can.

#

It's easy.

jade bolt
#

Do i need to find cage's info trough weston?

wooden mist
#

not really "info" per se

jade bolt
#

i mean the ||id_rsa||

wooden mist
#

I think you can grab that

rigid rose

stoic jewel
#

@hasty slate yeah

white salmon
#

@teal belfry man..

hasty slate
#

so did u ran any enumeration checklist?

white salmon
#

use metasploit.

hasty slate
#

@white salmon doesn't need it.

white salmon
#

i did it the classic way but eh.

jade bolt
#

but there is a much easier way

hasty slate
#

maybe check for files that u can read :/

jade bolt
#

There's this hacker group that can enter everything

stoic jewel
#

@hasty slate I did it this is for the first flag, I treid with wp-scan but there is nothing

white salmon
#

they can help you. anon..

#

cannot say the name.

#

they will bomb my house.

#

shh...

#

πŸ™‚

#

πŸ™‚

jade bolt
#

yup, pretty similar face tho

hasty slate
#

so u said u are in the box, that means u are not @stoic jewel .. u are at the ||wp|| stage?

solemn smelt
#

This doesn’t seem like the right place for this

white salmon
#

they are a little worse than fsociety.

#

the guys with the weird white long masks.

hasty slate
jade bolt
#

@solemn smelt huh? this is a hint for @teal belfry

@hasty slate soory I missed it I'm not yet

solemn smelt

white salmon

jade bolt
#

uhm

#

thats a way

white salmon
#

god, some people never use their brains..

hasty slate
#

wow chill @white salmon lol .. also @stoic jewel u can consult the writeups as well..

stoic jewel
#

@hasty slate I think this is a not a good idea right now

hasty slate
#

checking writeups?

jade bolt
#

why not?

hasty slate
#

yeah.. i mean u learn from writeups.. if u are stuck then u need to first learn.. then use that knowledge in the next box

teal belfry
#

@hasty slate i got the file with pass

#

n figured out it is a combo of base64 and something

#

is it right?

jade bolt
#

on the right track yeah

hasty slate
#

^

#

i already gave a hint in this channel or the community help.. maybe that will help u..

jade bolt
#

a lot of people have given a hint haha i got it because of them

teal belfry
#

lol it would have scrolled millions upwards

hasty slate
#

i've tried the ||common cipher breaker like caesar, vigenere, substitution, railfence|| but doesnt get any text that looks like a password

#

just wanted to know am i on the right path?

jade bolt
#

@wintry crescent i can only give you hints, if you really want help we need to go to #room-help

dapper mauve
#

hasty slate
#

@dense marlin use spoiler tags

toxic scarab
#

@dapper mauve did you finish? i'd be interested in knowing how you managed to get root. I don't think my path was the standard one.

#

@dapper mauve dm me if you feel like sharing

hasty slate
#

there are atleast 2 paths that i am aware of

toxic scarab
#

i gave up after finding one

atomic shuttle

hasty slate
#

lol no xD

#

dapper mauve
#

Break out...Cage.....Done! Think I did the intended path. Spent ages over complicating it in the middle but actually turned out relatively straight forward (once you google the syntax of the command you're already using)....Great room!! πŸ™‚

hasty slate
#

hmm that means most probably u didn't do the intended path lol

covert basalt
#

just wondering what was the intended part for root in cage ;|| creation or decryption ||

rancid crystal

halcyon lodge
#

Took longer than expected but it was a good room. @quiet stump, great room. I look forward to the next one.

quiet stump
#

@halcyon lodge Easily to overthink it πŸ™‚ glad u enjoyed it

obsidian cradle
#

i hate it here

#

does it have to do with the movie

stuck kernel
#

Im doing the intro the python room. its got to decoding the file and decoding it to get the flag... im completely lost and dont even know where to begin.

oblique cliff
#

look into python decoding

#

if you know how its encoded you can get more specific with your search

chilly canopy
#

I'm trying to get going with the Break Out The Cage room but at the moment I'm kind of stuck.
I've been busy for a while now but nothing seems to get me any further.
Does anyone have a hint.

quiet stump
#

Tons of hints for Cage in here πŸ™‚ have a search

stuck kernel
#

@oblique cliff been reading some of the documentation but tbh it doesn't help. im still as lost as i was when i started aha

oblique cliff
#

do you know how its encoded @stuck kernel ?

stuck kernel
#

@oblique cliff yeah, 5 times encoded using base64, 5 time encoded using base 32, 5times encoded using base 16

oblique cliff
#

seems pretty relevant

#

im sure theres similar stuff for the other two as well

stuck kernel
#

ive read through that, doesn't make any sense to me

chilly canopy
#

Tons of hints for Cage in here πŸ™‚ have a search
@quiet stump I've read through it but I must be overthinking something. I have no clue where to go from all the things I already did

obsidian cradle
#

:3

#

nothing πŸ˜›

#

just trying to exploit it another way

stuck kernel
#

@oblique cliff have you done this intro to python flag. im so lost, i cant find anything online that comes close to helping..im sure when it works im probably going to slap myself in the face lol

oblique cliff
#

have you tried using the stuff from the documentation i sent?

stuck kernel
white salmon
#

i quit. i have gone through just about every iteration i can on this to escape chars and inject code. i can't google anymore. i made it work on a local copy of the script using the text i put into a modded file, but when it comes to game time no dice. and that isn't even apprently the worst part of the box yet. I have done some boxes in my day but this easy box is well.. lets just say i have some words i woudl use that aren't very friendly to type right now

obsidian cradle
#

you need to take a break

#

frustration makes it more difficult

chilly canopy
#

I have the same feeling. Not sure where to look anymore

obsidian cradle
#

are you stuck on break the cage?

#

@chilly canopy

white salmon
#

yo tresh you can send me a pm... maybe just maybe i can get you 99% there

#

and you can get the last 1%

chilly canopy
#

are you stuck on break the cage?
@obsidian cradle Yes totally stuck

obsidian cradle
#

stuck on root?

chilly canopy
#

No on even the first question. I know it's humiliating.....

obsidian cradle
#

not humiliating!! its a challenge

white salmon
#

that one is not too bad. a bunch of people up there said some stuff about some french dudes and wine and bagueetes and stuff

obsidian cradle
#

what steps have you taken to look for the password?

white salmon
#

yams can i pm you. i legit need someon to tell me how this can run as an exact copy and provide 2 different results

#

actually anyone for that matter that has 2 mins to spare

obsidian cradle
#

about what

#

?

white salmon
#

the spamming walls

#

want to show two screen caps and can't explain

obsidian cradle
#

sure pm

jade bolt
#

toxic scarab
#

obsidian cradle
#

toxic scarab
#

jade bolt
#

hi, im in the room ignite, and i have access to www-data, after a linpeas i found a file with 99% PE but i dont know what to do, can anyone point me in a direcvtion?

obsidian cradle

hasty slate
#

obsidian cradle

jade bolt
#

obsidian cradle
#

Anyone around who's done CTF Collection Vol2? I fancied brushing up some of my ctf type skills but i'm stuck on 2 where i'm sure i've got the answer but i'm either making a dumb mistake or there's some odd trick to it (or the box is broken but lets be honest, probably the first option!) It's flags 15 & 20 if you have a clue for me

jade bolt
#

gottem

dull palm
#

Hi yall, I am stuck. The Cod Caper, can not run LinEnum on target, i scp the file over to target/tmp but i get denied when i try to run it. if i try to copy it, also denied

sick coyote
#

@dull palm did you try using python server + wget within the box itself?

oblique cliff
#

he already got it onto the machine i believe @sick coyote

sick coyote
#

ah my bad

toxic scarab
#

@dull palm did you make it executable?

dull palm
#

yes and the perm are messed up --x--x--x

#

i will re copy it and try chmod again, Thanks yall

wispy bloom
#

soooooooooo anyone have a hint about the ||bcrypt|| task in Crack the hash other than waiting until tomorrow for hashcat to compare hashes to passwords in rockyou? CyberChef does NOT like that hash.

oblique cliff
#

yea just wait till tomorrow

median compass
#

that's 1.4 is it @wispy bloom ?

wispy bloom
#

Sigh - I might cheat and grep all the characters from rockyou that match the length of the flag just to save time

#

@median compass yes

median compass
#

yeah, i cracked that one by letting it run over night

wispy bloom
#

welp - I'll try my grep first. Gotta be faster

median compass
#

the plus side of letting your GPU crank all night is a lovely warm office in the morning... πŸ™‚

wispy bloom
#

oh god I'm in the SW USA - I don't need help with that at all

median compass
#

lol fair enough

#

grep and be happy

torn mural
#

can anyone give a nudge on ctf 100 task #7

#

@sick coyote If I remember right, you should be able to root the box, then go back and find flag 74

steel fiber
#

guys, i ahve a doubt about how privilege scalation works. Why attacking the files belonging to adm escalates privileges? how the computer interprets that? thanks in advance

solemn smelt
#

what do you mean by attacking files

#

If youre changing a file that runs as an administrator youre running the commands that you put inside of that file however as the administrator so for example if you have a reverse shell inside of a file that runs as an administrator then the reverse shell inherits the permissions of the administrator

steel fiber
#

ohh, so the revershel script runs inside any kind of file system right? thats why i first need the exploit and then the shell? sorry i am so new at this.

solemn smelt
#

theres so many different ways to priv esc and abuse the file system its just something youre going to eventually pick up if you want to learn my I would check out the rooms linux priv esc and windows priv esc arena however if youre new that may be a bit much to begin with

steel fiber
#

thanks buddy. Is there any section oh machines that u would recommends me start with?

solemn smelt
#

if youre a beginner learn linux is a good place to start

#

its not going to be any exploits or anything but it will give you good knowledge to start with

toxic scarab
steel fiber
#

thans very much!

I'd say its easier that getting Cage. Enum, enum!! πŸ™‚
@dapper mauve I found the location of broadcast but what should I do..

wooden mist
#

well, check out the broadcast source, maybe there is a way you can make it execute your own code?

indigo ridge
#

yes I have checked it I tried some command injection

dapper mauve
#

Have a look what command it is running to achieve what its doing and where its getting its input....hard to give a hint without spoilers...you're very close though.

indigo ridge
#

yep I understand what you are saying because I am just trying that its just that my command is not running.. i think I can't escape the previous command..

Have a look what command it is running to achieve what its doing and where its getting its input....hard to give a hint without spoilers...you're very close though.

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the exploit of the machine for "RP: PS Empire" room. As I'm completing the questions (Task 5 - #9), I'm trying to get the credentials of the remote computer. But when I set the module on powershell/credentials/mimikatz/lsadump, even if I set the agent name, and run the module, I didn't get any credential. Do you have an idea why ?

I'll do that

rose moss
#

@inland onyx I tried to use pydump7 to get a hashdump then crack it offline

#

no chance with deffender

#

I tried to get a reverse shell with a meterpreter,

#

no chance as well

inland onyx
#

Oh, Admin password -- sorry, misread that

#

You're already RDP'd in

rose moss
#

yeah

inland onyx
#

The password is in plaintext, somewhere hidden on the machine

#

It's not buried down in system files either -- should be relatively easy to find if you keep your eyes open and look through the user files

[Task 21] Binary - shiba2

This challenge is pretty simple. The binary is checking to see if the environment variable "test1234" exists, and if it's set equal to the current $USER environment variable.

damn thats quite a hint

if youre going crazy then stop reading the channel

hi guys i have a problem in pickle rick, can somebody give me a hint pls

toxic scarab
#

@white salmon one of the tasks right before that showed how to search for files

real plinth
#

at private or something

#

i have logged in the page, but i dont know how can i read files

white salmon
#

@toxic scarab did a bit more reading and found it. Ty (:

toxic scarab
#

@white salmon one thing that this room doesn't cover is the use of 2>. when using find and/or grep, you will sometimes end up with a lot of permission errors that you want to ignore. so find / -name somefile will list a LOT of permission denied results. if you did find / -name somefile 2>/dev/null instead, it would take the stderr output (which is that '2' in that line) and send it to /dev/null (basically garbage) instead of to the screen

real plinth
#

what's the final rick ingredient 😦

oblique cliff
#

think about where your command execution is @real plinth

#

@white salmon if you complete the room thefindcommand thatll be very useful πŸ™‚

Doing haskell now and getting internal server error when uploading files, even when it's a haskell file. Is this meant to happen or should I restart the machine?

oblique cliff

Meant to happen

#

Your files are wrong @fast swan

rotund furnace
#

@white salmon because it's too easy or too hard?

white salmon

easy

oblique cliff
#

Cuz it’s harder than easy and easier than hard @white salmon

fast swan
#

Sweet! cheers, will get back to it then

wooden mist
#

i wouldn't count that box as easy but not exactly medium either, the initial foothold is a bit obscure - that's what makes it harder from an easy box

white salmon
#

maybe I dit it "wrong"?

#

||should prof be world readable?||

wooden mist

rotund furnace

the trinary difficulty system doesnt really lend itself to nuance, so i set it to medium for the reason mentioned above

For sure

anyway I like the box

Ofc

@rotund furnace I was just gonna submit write up through thm, any purpose of doing it through dm?

Good morning guys, hope you're alright, yesterday I was a bit stuck with ||Anthem|| in the privesc section, and my idea was to hashdump with ||pydump7|| yet it kept getting caught with windows defender, I tried also to get a ||meterpreter|| in order to use a ||privesc suggester|| yet it caught again. I was thinking about this situation, how does one make his ||payload|| undetectable ? using Shikata Ga Nai ? Any good ideas are welcome, especially practical ones πŸ˜‰

warm schooner
#

Did you try meterpreter ||hashdump|| rather than ||pydump7||?

burnt cosmos
#

@rose moss Everything you need to privesc is already on the computer

glossy basin
#

Anthem is a ctf room

#

there's no privesc

#

(technically there is but it's not an exploit or anything like that)

#

Check the write-ups if you are stuck

rose moss
#

@warm schooner Sorry body I did not understand

#

I uploaded pydump7 on the webserver, then got it in RDP, however impossible to use it

#

deffender blocks it

#

also when I did the same thing with a payload, I could see that I get no reverse shell

#

cause deffender blocks the meterpreter

#

I could see it in its log

#

@glossy basin I did not think that ||changing premission of the file would work||, so I though more of tying to really hashdump the passwords

glossy basin
#

alright

rose moss
#

Any way, what do you think about Shikata Ga Nai ?

glossy basin
#

haven't tried it πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

rose moss
#

I'll dig deeper into it, I'm trying to get Anthem differently and that defender is in the way, I'll figure something out

glossy basin
#

good luck!

#

you can make a writeup if you get it differently!! would be interesting to read

Hi hackers, Hoping you are doing well I'm stuck with this challange any hint how to exploit that

And you can run python as rabbit.

#

Do you have rabbit user's password?

stoic jewel
#

nope

#

I'm in alice

tidal sedge

@white salmon That is incorrect, read the output of sudo command more carefully, they can not run the command as root, rather they can run it as the ||rabbit|| user.

stoic jewel
#

@tidal sedge yeah That's true

white salmon
#

Misread, my bad.

#

Try using it to escalate ro rabbit .

How can you alter that script?

@tidal sedge when I exploit that I'll get into rabbit user

@white salmon yeah that's what I'm trying to do

i'm new to crpto i dont know what we say that..maybe encoding...

have you tossed it into cyberchef and see what it thinks

eternal brook
#

dont we need to give it an operation first?

#

i just started it today sorry if i am asking dumb ques

solemn smelt
#

cyberchef can guess sometimes it’s not able to but most of the time it can there is a little magic wand right in between the input and output in cyberchef that will appear if cyberchef can guess what it is if you click it then it will automatically pull everything you need

eternal brook

yea i see a magic operation that right?

yes

@queen verge you just showed us the payload. you havent said or shown what youve tried to do and what happened when you do it

@oblique cliff I have managed to telnet into the target machine anonmosly

did you put the payload on the machine yet

As per room instructions it says to execute the msfvenom payload

#

I dont understand how am i going to put that payload and why is it even asking to execute the msfvenom on my local machine

solemn smelt

what room is this because that’s a really odd payload choice

The exploit is failing again. Even though I have my LHOST set to my vpn ip address.

did you set the rhost right

When I look at what options I have I don't think mines is showing the correct options. I was just wondering if maybe it was because the room is outdated or something.

Hey just started on the box "blaster" and i found the username on the hidden dir but i cant seem to find the passwd.

#

The hint said that i should look for the comments on the hidden dir but i cant seem to find any

#

Could i get a bump here?

#

Will take a bit of OSINT/creative thinking.

#

If you found the username, something on that page has some reference to something else. Search for what that something else is, along with the username you have.

#

It's mildly cryptic, but if you try for a bit and can't figure it out yet, I'll drop a bigger hint. πŸ™‚

unborn bough
#

thanks!

dim cedar
#

Well just finished blue

#

harder than I thought it would be mainly due to me not understanding syntax but overall πŸ‘

@patent token Found it!

Interesting way of finding it

But got reminded since i watched the movie mentioned!

Hey so when i run rdesktop with the username passwd and ip i get this error

Autoselecting keyboard map 'en-us' from locale

Try xfreerdp instead.

#

Probably need to apt install it

unborn bough
#

Thanks!

Got this error now

Try --enableNla

#

or --no-nla

#

it doesn't like the network level authentication

unborn bough
#

nah i didn't work

#

xfreerdp --no-nla /u:wxxxxxx /p:xxxx /v:xx.xx.xxx.xx

wispy bloom
#

hmmm without turning on debug logging I can't be sure honestly

#

Alternatively, because the NLA is probably looking for a Windows host remote connection, you could whip up a windows VM and connect via that method after downloading OpenVPN client

#

May save you some time

unborn bough
#

yea, no im to lazy to do that

wispy bloom
#

Haha I mean - bust your ass troubleshooting linux -> windows NLA connections or whip up a VM

#

NLA can be a rabbithole

stuck fractal
#

IIRC remina works well

white salmon
#

remmina is a good RDP client

unborn bough
#

@wispy bloom i dont think its a rabbit hole since the box is "blaster" and there are only 2 ports open

#

80 and 3389

wispy bloom
#

No no - I mean getting NLA to play nice with an RDP linux connection

#

It's annoying

#

Try what the gurus are saying. Remina or whatever it's called. I haven't used that one before

unborn bough
#

ill try remina

wispy bloom
#

good luck

unborn bough
#

looks like i got remina working!

wispy bloom
#

psh no kidding. I'll have to add that one to my vm then

unborn bough
#

aaaand it crashed

wispy bloom
#

😦

unborn bough
#

still got user.txt

#

but with remina u get the windows ui

#

and its a pretty clean interface

#

yea i could get like 2 mins of time before it crashed

#

so now i have to restart

can anyone help with blueprint please? trying to get a shell with this command, it connects but immediately drops the connection. would this be the correct php code to open a nc connection? I commented out the echo line because I assumed that was the reason why.

#

i tried to include <?php $cmd=$_GET['cmd']; system($cmd);?> but it returns an error saying system is disabled.

stuck fractal
#

Then you can't use system()

noble tinsel
#

what about the nc line @stuck fractal

@stoic jewel you get more points if you are the first to answer a question.

can anyone suggest me how do I look for the LSB executable code???

safe kiln
solid patrol
#

it should base 16 decode not 14

#

and try to see how for loops work

safe kiln
#

good catch on the base 16 must have missed typed fixed that still getting a error name 'base64' is not defined thanks will go back and go over loops

solid patrol
#

that error is probably because u have space between base64. and b32decode

warm schooner
#

Trying to complete the challenge at the end of into to python any hints to what i am doing wrong
@safe kiln

Base16
Base32
Base65

You also have spaces between your base64 import and your function call, i.e base64. b64decode()

inland onyx
#

You're also using a separate output for each set of decoding

#

Decode the same object throughout

safe kiln
solid patrol
#

it still wont work

#

bc data2 will always be one decoding of data1

#

and your loop will only go through operation 4

#

for i in range(0,4)

#

i will be 0,1,2,3

i m solving common linux privesc room.I m stuck at exploiting path variable challenge.Can anyone help me?

solid patrol

sure

#

what steps did u do?

true widget

@solid patrol

#

we have to imitate ls right?

solid patrol
#

yea

true widget
#

and path is bin/bash

solid patrol
#

u need to put some command that will spawn shell into ls

true widget
#

is it ||echo "bin/bash/" > ls||

solid patrol
#

yes but syntax is wrong

true widget
#

okk I ll try

#

i tried|| echo "/bin/bash/" > ls ||.lts still wrong.

#

it worked

#

finally

true widget
#

@solid patrol where to use /bin/ls?

steady stratus
#

Ask your question without posting answers please

solid patrol
#

when

true widget
#

but when did I post answers?

steady stratus
#

In your screenshot

solid patrol
#

when u execute just ls

true widget
#

In your screenshot
@steady stratus pardon I didnt realised.

solid patrol
#

u should be able to get root

true widget
#

u should be able to get root
@solid patrol okk i ll try

#

u should be able to get root
@solid patrol I couldnt get root

solid patrol
#

what is your output of cmd 'which ls'

true widget
#

||/bin/ls||

solid patrol
#

so u didnt exploit path variable correct

true widget
#

i did|| export PATH=/tmp:$PATH||

solid patrol
#

and did u put your ls that u created in tmp

true widget
#

put it where?

solid patrol
#

in /tmp directory

true widget
#

i did echo ||"bin/bash" > ls||

#

then|| chmod +x ls||

solid patrol
#

u whant to change ls commnad so that when u use it it will spawn shell

#

with bin/bash u want spawn shell

true widget
#

u whant to change ls commnad so that when u use it it will spawn shell
@solid patrol where should I use ||/bin/ls|| in home directory of user5?

solid patrol
#

u need to us ls command that u created

#

to esclate privlages

#

just put directory in which u created ls command into path variable like in instutcion in task

#

and then which ls should give you directory in which u created ls

#

and from that just use ls

#

and u will get root
