Just got the new machine(Fortune)!

terse willow
#

Enjoy 😁

gusty cradle
#

@terse willow I have foothold but still no flag, interesting box so far

terse willow
#

Hehe, wait until you play it again before you say that...

#

That box will never be the same twice..

gusty cradle
#

πŸ‘€

#

No autopwns? 😒

terse willow
#

You can autopwn it -- I've got one for it, just to see if I could do it. Not that I would ever use it

#

But it won't be easy. The passwords and keys all autogen, as does the easiest privesc

stiff egret
#

Make them all like this!

weary kindle
#

Hopefully flag autogen will be implemented site side soon asw

terse willow
#

@stiff egret Hehe, soon

#

I've challenged myself for my next one

#

I want to be able to upload a script to an empty box

#

And autogen everything other than the flags

#

(Unless the site support for autogenned flags is out by then)

weary kindle
#

@full grove what was that script you used for the AD Forest?

full grove
#

badblood

weary kindle
#

Ah

gusty cradle
#

@terse willow So will the vulnerabilities be different each time?

terse willow
#

In Fortune?

#

Only one of the privescs (the easiest one)

#

The one I've got planned it'll be a little more diverse

#

(I.e. it'll be different each time, but still selected from a pool of possible vulnerabilities)
But full autogens are something that Dan is working on, so I'll leave that to him

quiet schooner
#

@stiff egret the next KoTH box also has randomised passwords etc.

#

@stiff egret the next KoTH box also has randomised passwords etc.
@quiet schooner I am loving it more and more every second!

gusty cradle
#

I doubt random passwords and flags would change anything, a good auto-pwn could still manage to work.

weary kindle
#

I made flag randomization with KoTH as a test bed, more so wanting it to be a sitewide rollout

#

So normal rooms also having random flags

gusty cradle
#

πŸ€”

weary kindle
#

KoTH also needs it, but it should be an easy port

winged charm
#

When playing a koth game today someone made it so that noone could change the king.txt file is this considered against the rules?

lusty portal
#

Its just using the chattr binary, look into it

nova tide
#

When playing a koth game today someone made it so that noone could change the king.txt file is this considered against the rules?
@winged charm happened with me as well when i started koth as a newbie, you gotta look up for chattr and how to get binaries from your machine to the other one

I will didnt know you could do that ill look into it thanks

You can't use that tag

Well, it looks like it worked.

It didn't mention anyone.

Eh, oh well. Got a game going up.

quiet schooner

I can't really join unfortunately

There's a 22% chance it's one I created

primal stag

I don't care. It won't fire if noone else joins.

icy flare
#

What bare basics would one need when entering a KOTH?

#

total noob here but learning

ember agate
#

probabbly the same knowledge you are using to vulnerable CTF boxes

#

but right now public boxes is hard to play because machines are known to many

#

if you have a friends or others who have not played, it will be most interesting to play with them

dapper escarp
#

There are a bunch of new machines

#

So actually it’s a great time to jump on

#

A lot of more experienced users got bored so it’s quite fair

nova tide
#

go ez on me @primal stag

lusty crown
#

any clues on where to look for flags in koth! (in general)

nova tide
#

most likely every user (may) have one and root have one

#

and find the remaining on the machine

#

you can use find command grep or any other possible ones or look into the machine on your own

primal stag
#

I haven't blocked the way in, no need to reset!

fair adder
#

i don't know that!

Nice @brave pilot

primal stag
#

Ok, how'd you f' up the kingserver?

#

So the king service is messed up, I tried to fix it... should probably reset this box.

@fair adder @novel grotto @brave pilot ?

Can anyone please clarify Point number 6 in KOTH rules?

@stiff egret Killing shells etc is fine

#

Attacking their machine is not

stiff egret
#

We are in same machine when in same lobby, So I don't understand.

#

OHK

#

Their machine as in their main pc?

quiet schooner
#

As in the machine they're connected to the VPN with.

primal stag

Whatever they've connected to the VPN.

You shouldn't be using their IP address.

Step 1: Get root

Step 3: Write a script.

@primal stag jeez this room is hard

It took me a few tries to get it

wonder why that box just slowed down

you too @fair adder

fair adder

did you figure it out from your terminal session?

primal stag
#

#windows

#

No, it was too slow to do anything with.

fair adder
#

i see you got malwarebytes on there, nice

primal stag
#

Thats what is calling the bluescreen.

terse willow

🀣 Are you lot adding anti-virus to the Windows machines to keep people out?

quiet schooner

@terse willow It comes with MB

terse willow
#

Ah, fair enough. Whole different world

primal stag

Interesting technique to consider....

sonic atlas

that would be lol

kekw Muirland if someone added mb onto the box, all the fucking power to them lmao

any tips on space jam

jovial dune
#

I have few questions about koth rules
for "7. Scripts that automatically hack and/or harden the machine are forbidden" - What if i will create some kind of rootkit which will maintain my access in system, its including to this rule ?
What about killing other users process (reverse shells, scripts) ?
Changing for example address,port for service is legal ?
What about automated script which will overwirte king.txt with my username ?
What about chaning permission with chattr ?
What about chaning programs names (for example chaning bash name) ?

This one isn't about rules
All machines have same number of flags ? If no how i can check that I got all flags ?

fair adder
#

the machines have different numbers of flags @jovial dune . When you hover over the flag icon next to the flag submisison box, it tells you the number of flags on the box

#

unofficially, it seems like rootkits for persistence, killing other user processes and automating overriding king.txt is ok

full grove
#
  1. Rootkits, we have no official stance on yet. I know one person in particular is working on one lol
  2. Traditionally, that's been okay
  3. the goal is to patch the vulnerabilities, if you want to take the security through obscurity method, I'm sure that's fine as long as the services remain up.
  4. That's fine
  5. That's fine
  6. I'd stray away from stuff like shells because that may be considered a dos, but cat and other binaries, traditionally that's been okay. Just remember to not turn the box into a DoS state
fair adder
#

wait, so it's ok to move sshd to a different port?

full grove
#

as long as the service is online, I see no issue with it

#

I'd run it by higher powers to verify, but I think it's a fair mitigation method seeing as all someone needs to do is re-nmap the box

nova tide
#

So no closing ports? not even a single like ssh,ftp,mysql etc?

full grove
#

iirc the only time its acceptable is if the service cannot be patched

#

i.e. Limited shell in Prod

nova tide
#

what about space jam 3000?

full grove
#

change the variable

nova tide
#

ohk

full grove
#

make people fuzz for it

#

or if you really wanted to be evil

#

drop someone into a container lol

grand ember

#

still trying to learn mysql so can get in or patch it

#

btw we can run simple bash/python scripts right? like on king.txt?

glossy vessel
#

yes

nova tide
#

no autopwn,no closing services thats all the new rules, right?

full grove
#
while True:
do echo "Naughty" > /root/king.txt
done
glossy vessel
#

^^ yup

full grove
#

100% okay

nova tide
#

chattr...

full grove
#

go for it

nova tide
#

yeah one more thing once i deleted check.sh( i think that was the name) from shrek that wont let anybody ssh in into shrek even using key or the pass and even delays the time to ssh in with donkey as well.

#

or should i simply rewrite it instead of deleting it?

full grove
#

basically

#

if you're making a service inaccessible to anyone

#

it's a no-no

nova tide
#

@gusty cradle this is what i deleted that wouldn't let you ssh in that day

full grove
#

if you can access it, then you're fine

#

because with ssh you can do some super strict filtering and that's fine

gusty cradle
#

@nova tide I see, I was wondering why I couldn't ssh in πŸ€”

nova tide
#

well it just stops the person using the id_rsa that they received

gusty cradle
#

Also couldn't ssh in as donkey

nova tide
#

well i changed the pass for donkey, not sure if there was any other way in

full grove
#

I think via the api

#

but idk

gusty cradle
#

tomcat

full grove
#

I thought you got www-data?

nova tide
#

but thats all i did that was causing all the issue with ssh, so wanted to make sure if its against the rules

full grove
#

I see no issue with ssh-keygen and rm -f ~/.ssh/authorized_keys

#

that's basically the same effect

gusty cradle
#

I do that a lot

#

Most of the time on Shrek

full grove
#

same with changing password

quiet schooner

I somewhat doubt it's a DDoS

distant zealot

send urandom in sessions is DDoS

quiet schooner
#

No, it is not.

glossy vessel
#

DDoS is multi-source attack

distant zealot
#

Attack other users is legal ?

quiet schooner
#

They're not attacking other users

They're just breaking your session

But uh

coral maple
#

lets go again

quiet schooner
#

I wouldn't say it's hard

rancid pewter
#

Is there only one way ?

quiet schooner
#

There's a few ways

#

You probably only found one.

coral maple
#

re

terse willow
#

Koth boxes always have at least 4 ways

quiet schooner
#

@terse willow come play hackers

#

@terse willow Uhhhh

nova tide

quiet schooner
#

nova tide
#

quiet schooner
#

@terse willow guidelines

#

I think myDonuts did too

nova tide
#

did he?

terse willow
#

Certainly weren't posed as guidelines to me, but fair πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

rancid pewter
#

I failed my privesc by completly overwriting the shadow file

quiet schooner
#

F

nova tide
#

i have no idea what that .sh file do

fair adder
#

so we are basicly no lifing hackers ?

rancid pewter
#

I am root in 10 min for sure

nova tide
#

noice

#

well for me brute force takes forever

rancid pewter
#

I didnt brute force ...

nova tide
#

@rancid pewter DM me

rancid pewter
#

Why ?

rancid pewter

quiet schooner
#

As a note, Hackers is semi broken by AWS

#

It's still playable, but will be more replayable once patched

raw bear
#

it was fun @quiet schooner first time I really tried doing this by myself, and I managed to get root after some looking around...

quiet schooner
#

Try the other routes

raw bear
#

will do for sure, its still pretty hard to even find half of the stuff butonce I find it I do pretty well...

harsh obsidian
raw bear
#

LMFAO i just logged myself out of root after I patched my entrance... what a brain I have

vast kite
fair adder
nova tide
#

glossy vessel
#

mhm but it’s on gtfobins

nova tide
#

it worked for you?

glossy vessel
#

yeah

nova tide
#

wait, what?

glossy vessel
#

production has an easy priv esc

nova tide
#

it gives production shell

#

or there is any other method instead the one in sudo

glossy vessel
#

idk I can’t say without spoiling πŸ˜†

somber agate
#

I'd love to play, but currently at work.. You got this man!

nova tide
#

well so far i only know of 4 ppl who got root, including u,westar, mydonut and one more guy

glossy vessel

somber agate
#

@glossy vessel Can I dm you? Wondering how you did it

glossy vessel
#

do you really want to know? πŸ˜…

somber agate
#

Yes.

glossy vessel

i think it’s better if you figure it out yourself

somber agate
#

I already got root, I'm just wondering how you got it

glossy vessel
#

oh oh alright

finite turret

#

stiff egret

#

You played fortune?

nova tide
#

stiff egret

stiff egret
#

#

nice lobby

nova tide
#

#

i wonder if theres ever been 10/10 lobby in koth

#

this is the highest i have seen so far

#

i hope its Hackers

stiff egret
#

this is the highest i have seen so far
@nova tide True

#

I bet, Most of them are ultra pros with fake accounts.

nova tide
#

well NaughtyHacker is mine not sure about others xD

stiff egret
#

Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu 🀣

nova tide
#

nice way to start the game πŸ™‚ got disconnected from the internet

stiff egret
#

nova tide
#

why the box is sooo slow?

stiff egret
#

Who is DontDothis? I just urandomed his shell

nova tide
#

well you doing on mine as well

stiff egret
#

Not me.

#

No defences except killing shells.

#

And urandoming xD

#

Bella Ciao

nova tide
#

HMU if someone wants to play Hackers

nova tide
#

somber agate
#

@nova tide Really depends on how advanced your question is, but DM me and I'll try my best hahah

spring trail
#

game any one ?

nova tide
#

@mystic quiver invite for koth?

mystic quiver
#

@nova tide Sorry bro i didn't saw the message.It's over bro.

nova tide
#

np

nova tide
#

How to make sure someone is not using autopwn in koth?

somber agate
#

You really can’t I guess? If they get king and all flags within a minute it can’t not be an autopwn, but otherwise.. idk

quiet schooner
#

@somber agate myDonuts and I know how to instaroot hackers atm

#

No scripts

somber agate
#

Nice, I think I know where to look, but just haven’t found it yet

nova tide
#

So the rule saying: "No Autopwn" how that works?

quiet schooner
#

@nova tide Skidy got logs

#

@somber agate Let me know if you find the instaroot, I'm gonna be patching it friday so you have until then

raw bear
nova tide
#

always up for hackers ❀️

quiet schooner
#

Works on most boxes πŸ˜‰

nova tide
#

Thanks ❀️

quiet schooner
#

I've posted in resources and all over the place a few times

raw bear
#

πŸ˜‚ ❀️

nova tide
#

i have got some what idea what mydonut did to get root but i cant completely follow the way.. found a few more things today gotta try those this time

#

lets see how it goes

#

imma grab some food brb in a minute

quiet schooner
#

Hackers is designed so that you need to understand the steps that you're taking

raw bear
#

I have my own way that has worked to get root, but I was gonna look into just looking for other ways to go about getting in...

quiet schooner
#

You can't just copy/paste from GTFObins

nova tide
#

@raw bear no changing anything

raw bear
#

naw I wasnt planning on it, but I am getting root

nova tide
#

imma try to hack this badboy today

raw bear
#

@nova tide yeah, im root

nova tide
#

noice

#

yeah, im production

#

not king yet?

raw bear
#

yeah, i just took it

void rivet
#

@rugged portal U livestreaming koth??

spring trail
#

is it ok to change passwords in koth ?

quiet schooner
#

That's been answered many times @spring trail

spring trail
#

thanx

quiet schooner
#

It was a yes.

nova tide
#

But if there's a guy named "Naughty" in game you are supposed to send that new password to him, so he can make sure nothing is wrong with the machine.

high anvil
#

definetly nope

nova tide
#

sad noot noises

stiff egret
#

Anyone KOTH?

nova tide
#

i still have to massage my Dad's right arm will play after that.

#

btw play hackers with me? πŸ˜› @stiff egret

stiff egret
#

You mustve gotten root on that

quiet schooner
#

You say that

raw bear
#

He knows my way in

quiet schooner
#

It's designed to be harder

#

Well, not harder. You just have to actually understand a little more

raw bear
#

it wasnt that way for me? i just had to keep looking through what I knew already

#

I can share my notes with u ninja if u want

stiff egret
nova tide
#

yO @raw bear @stiff egret

raw bear
#

yo

stiff egret
#

yo

nova tide
#

So no closing ports and no spamming kill shells

stiff egret
#

no defences but kill shells are allowed

nova tide
#

No Spamming

stiff egret
#

maybe πŸ˜‰

nova tide
#

lul

terse willow
#

(Pretty sure there's no rule against that)

nova tide
#

(i know)

raw bear
#

oh great a box i dont know at all 😐

stiff egret
#

I freaking manually typed the commands

nova tide
#

well i dont want to fight with you yet still looking for persistence on this

#

so i can get back in any how

#

so you are not allowed to open ports?

#

are you?

stiff egret
#

uh? Well I havent closed or changed any ports.

nova tide
#

no i am asking

#

if you can open a port that wasnt open by default? πŸ˜„

#

if anyone can answer that? ^^^

stiff egret
#

I think you can, Since you cant kill main services, you can always shift them to the ports down the list, like 40923 etc

nova tide
#

lets suppose i was supposed to open a port so i can set my way in from that port? is that allowed?

#

take ssh as an example

stiff egret
#

Thats backdoor, I'd say thats allowed, but still depends on Mods/Admins.

quiet schooner
#

@nova tide well, yeah

#

You can do whatever you want to make the box insecure

nova tide
#

Ok

#

server so laggy?

#

box*

#

awww noice @stiff egret thats you?

stiff egret
#

You have been nyaned ❀️

#

Isn't that lovely

#

Same here,

stiff egret
#

I gotta get some sleep now lol

raw bear
#

I am

nova tide
#

ohk

#

Good Night

#

you found the way from production?

raw bear
#

No im going to look into it

nova tide
#

Need to get a new mouse after lock down.. this one just double clickes 8/10 times

raw bear
#

dang, i have gaming peripherals so mine are pretty good

nova tide
#

well its Logitech G102 i believe

raw bear
#

G502 is pretty good its lasted me a while and was relatively cheap

nova tide
#

yeah that one is around the same price like this one but i like this one more

#

i play sixsiege on this one instead of that. tried that i kept on clicking those extra DPI buttons right next to the left click

raw bear
#

I turn them off, i only use 400 dpi

nova tide
#

lets remake and set timer to 5 minutes

#

which games you play?

#

i play Sixsiege,Dota 2,Fortnite,Tekken 7 and GTA V

#

Clash of clans also if that counts

raw bear
#

I play league, warzone, and some apex

#

used to play cs but its bad now

nova tide
#

yeah i have played some apex as well.. a few of my friends still play it, i was somewhere lvl on 35 i think

high anvil
#

Can i join?

nova tide
#

if there is an invite link here everyone is allowed to join πŸ˜›

#

but game ended now

quiet schooner
#

@rancid pewter @somber agate Thanks for reporting and helping me diagnose that

#

Sorry myDonuts for patching the other vuln you found, it was too powerful πŸ˜‰

somber agate
#

Np man!

#

@rancid pewter Can I dm you to ask about that instaroot? Very curious!

rancid pewter
#

Yeah sure

quiet schooner
#

@somber agate I can discuss it if you want too, I have the code

floral snow
#

Fortune machine is too hard πŸ˜€ i can't

terse willow
#

Ach, Fortune is a kitten.
You can literally get from nothing up to root by pure luck.

stiff egret
#

Admin/Mod for Fortune? I may have something you wanna patch.

quiet schooner
#

@terse willow you're up

terse willow
#

@stiff egret yep, feel free to DM πŸ™‚

nova tide
sudden axle
#

guys, how many flags are on fortune machine? i dunno if i found all of them

fair adder
#

@sudden axle fortune has 8

sudden axle
#

thx

fair adder
#

mouse over the flag icon next to the submission box to double check

#

@quiet schooner the number of flags needs to be more visible

sudden axle
#

ohh right

#

ye, indeed

#

it's not really intuitive

quiet schooner
sudden axle
#

damn 7/8 flags, it's always like that..

#

koth is more fun than i expected it to be

quiet schooner
#

@sudden axle What box?

sudden axle
#

fortune

quiet schooner
#

Ah nice

sudden axle
#

just finished it

chilly sandal
#

lol I never even got 1 flag in fortune, I fixed my kali box so ima be messing around with koth's later today taking notes of everything for future reference

sudden axle
#

if you are a beginner it's kind of expected

#

but dw, you will learn with time

#

are the rooms equally difficult @quiet schooner ?

quiet schooner
#

No

#

FoodCTF is quite easy, production is too

#

Hackers is harder

#

Tyler is decently hard

chilly sandal
#

...production is easy?... im screwed then πŸ˜‚

quiet schooner
#

Well

#

It depends whether you find the way in

sudden axle
#

and i guess there are multiple ways in

#

as it is in fortune

#

still dunno if web way is exploitable or nah

quiet schooner
#

There should always be multiple ways in

#

Until someone patches them

vast kite
#

@nova tide send invite link

quiet schooner
#

Public game I think

nova tide
quiet schooner
#

I'm watching along

vast kite
#

any easy box cuz i'm still freshman lmao

nova tide
#

i dont know why people think tyler is hard.. i mean i literally got root in the first try in a few minutes

vast kite
#

it's fine go ahead and pick tyler

stiff egret
#

takes me 10 seconds

quiet schooner
#

I can get root

#

I can't get initial

nova tide
#

"First Try"

quiet schooner
#

I haven't tried it much

spare scroll
#

god what have I signed up for, I am about to get my ass kicked by you so hard

stiff egret
#

takes me 10 seconds
@stiff egret then peeps start spamming ban button

#

like dude i manually typed the code, pardon lmao

nova tide
#

or "Nice Scripts" xD

stiff egret
#

or "Nice Scripts" xD
@nova tide no scripts till i am in shell

fair adder
#

there's a fine line behind good notes with a high wpm and an autopwn script

stiff egret
#

there's a fine line behind good notes with a high wpm and an autopwn script
@fair adder hear hear

quiet schooner
#

Scripts to harden the box aren't allowed IIRC

stiff egret
#

Scripts to harden the box aren't allowed IIRC
@quiet schooner hear hear

nova tide
#

thats what people say when you get root in seconds..<<<thats what i meant

quiet schooner
#

Hackers had a lovely instaroot vuln

#

Single command, straight to root shell

#

That was fixed.

stiff egret
#

Hackers had a lovely instaroot vuln
damn it, cant get root on that one yet

quiet schooner
#

Hackers is designed to be harder than Food

nova tide
#

i still want to get in through production. Got only one way so far

quiet schooner
#

Designed so there's a little research and direction

stiff egret
#

i still want to get in through production. Got only one way so far
@nova tide easier once you are inside

#

always easier to find vulns from the inside

quiet schooner
#

not exactly

stiff egret
#

Designed so there's a little research and direction
@quiet schooner Yeah I figured, i was soo close to break my laptop when i found the exploit and couldnt complile it, if you know you know

quiet schooner
#

@stiff egret DM, which exploit?

nova tide
#

always easier to find vulns from the inside
@stiff egret well i am in production but cant privesc from that to root

spare scroll
#

@nova tide is there any ways left to get in?

nova tide
#

well there are still 2 ways that i know of to get in

spare scroll
#

damn

nova tide
#

that i have no idea how to patch xD

nova tide
#

oh i think i patched one of those

spare scroll
#

lmao i have no idea how to find them so you should be good

vast kite

i'm stuck after upload my file haha

spare scroll

is it allowed to quit? haha

vast kite

thanks for the motivation but i dont think i will get anywhere in 40 min

stiff egret

@nova tide you blew up node?

nova tide

stiff egret
#

#

nova tide
#

Hackers ^^^

#

#

@quiet schooner you made changes in hackers?

quiet schooner
#

I just fixed the passwords and instaroot

nova tide
#

imma just eat,wait and look at my screen to finish its job

sudden axle
#

@nova tide you patched everything I've tried on Tyler

#

lmao

nova tide
#

πŸ˜„

#

well there's still one way in

sudden axle
#

I guess I was too slow figuring out a way in

nova tide
#

nmap will show you the way

#

btw who was the guy who set listener on tyler? and reconnecting to it?

sudden axle
#

me

nova tide
#

noice

#

took me a while to figure out how you were getting in

spare scroll
#

guys, any hints for fortune?

terse willow
#

Can't really help with Koth boxes I'm afraid

#

But speaking as the guy who made it

#

You don't need to be able to hack to do it

#

You can literally get to root on pure luck

spare scroll
#

for real?

quiet schooner
#

Hackers is broken sorry

sonic pecan
#

hello everyone, i am new here, do we get the private room links here for koth?, cuz no one joins the public rooms

terse willow
#

@spare scroll Mhm

#

It's the most visible method for both

spare scroll
#

@sonic pecan we are in the same game and it is like five ppl there

sonic pecan
#

@spare scroll can i join midgame ?

spare scroll
#

you are in the game

sonic pecan
#

wtf!!

#

wait let me see

#

oh

#

sorry

#

it was my first time i didnt knew

spare scroll
#

no worries bro

sudden axle
#

@quiet schooner dynamic passwords on Fortune seems to work fine. I had different creds this time

quiet schooner
#

@sudden axle Yeah

#

I hadn't tested it because it wasn't my box

#

@nova tide patch is coming btw

stiff egret
#

space jam is supposed to be easy right?

coral maple
#

yes

quiet schooner
#

If you know

#

If you don't know, then IDK how hard it is

stiff egret
#

yeah its either that or i have become ultra pro lmao

#

latter is not possible, so i figured 🀣

terse willow
#

@sudden axle Yep, my autogen script works fine -- I tested it earlier.
For some reason it's just Hackers that it's not working on. No idea why

quiet schooner
#

@terse willow Hackers autogen was fixed

#

Webserver was broken but that's being sorted

terse willow
#

Ooh, lovely 😁

quiet schooner
#

AWS broke it

terse willow
#

The webserver or the autogen?

quiet schooner
#

Autogen

#

I broke the webserver patching the instaroot

terse willow
#

Ah πŸ˜…
Fair enough

sudden axle
#

are people allowed to spam broadcasted messages?

somber agate
#

Yes 😎

sudden axle
#

lol okay

somber agate
#

And it's not a broadcast, that one was just for you πŸ˜‰

chilly sandal
#

geez Wes you took over the box so fast

somber agate
#

I've done this box before, path to root is quite easy once you get the hang of it

chilly sandal
#

i dont even have the first flag πŸ˜‚

somber agate
#

You'll get it, just try harder πŸ˜‰

chilly sandal
#

is their more than 1 way in? lol i'm pretty sure you patched the mysql thing, since I can't connect to it. πŸ˜‚

quiet schooner
#

@chilly sandal Foodctf?

chilly sandal
#

ye

quiet schooner
#

There's a bunch of ways in

somber agate
