I guess but
I spent the entire game trying to rearrange the words "luck" "everything" and "command" in several places where I thought it would make sense
and the entire time it was luck based

Nah, there are five entry points and 4 privescs
One entry point is luck based, one privesc is luck based
The rest are knowledge and technique, same as with every other box

I didn't close any ssh ports, but if you use -p- or -Pn you will be able to calmly if someone who was on the machine with me changed the ssh port, but as I got king and root I didn't change any ssh port
@lethal lily
koth is like that, you get access and defend the machine, it's no fun to have access and leave the suid and root permission there

also you changec the donkey machine pass
we found it in ftp

Look, you should read the rules before using KOTH because you can get in a lot of trouble for breaking the rules.
While I don't see anything about editing the sudoers file in the rules, unless this is reported to koth@tryhackme.com with sufficient proof, we cannot do anything.
@lethal lily
If you are uncivilised to each other while playing KOTH, you will also get in trouble. I do not care if someone is breaking rules, treat everyone with respect. If you can't be trusted to talk normally in the Discord, then how can you be trusted to play a KOTH game?
If someone is breaking the rules report it to the KOTH staff. If someone is accusing you of breaking rules, please contact the KOTH staff. If someone is pinging you and is being rude, please contact the Discord moderators.
Do you both understand? :)

Yes, this is what KoTH page on TryHackMe says.
There might be some delay in retrieving the response from koth service running on the target machine due to players using it.
Give it some time, it should work.
This issue of not getting the king reflected on the game portal was fixed.๐ค
vestal saddle
I see ๐
Maybe i will try playing again someday
placid fable
IIRC, the file path and name might be different for a windows machine and it is not mentioned on the KoTH page, only /root/king.txt is mentioned there.
I might have missed it๐
vestal saddle
That's not the prob
I was on Linux machine too
If it would be a Windows
I wouldn't even had got into it ๐คฃ

Just like, when multiple players run their nmap (or rustscan). Some services can and do time out.
So it is possible that koth service might have timed out for you

Is it legal to delete flags?
Also there should be time limit in between two reset.
I was playing against this user secret4name and he played very dirty. First he got the foothold and deleted all the flags.
Then after I found out after half an hour and I requested reset so I can access flags.
But then he started applying resets every 5 minutes. He applied 4 resets in last 20 minutes and it was windows machine so it took so long to machine to be accessible. I would have beat him if he hasn't reseted this much.
This was the game

There is no legal term here.
But it is against the rules as specified on TryHackMe KoTH page, you can find more about it here

Rustscan is a great tool to make nmap(more like slowmap,amirite?) faster
errant marten
yes you can also use nmap commands in rustscan
just adding -- for example "rustscan -a IP -- -sC -sV"
broken berry
I use this for most of my scans: rustscan -a <IP> -- -A -sC -sV -Pn -oN scan.txt
But it does sometimes show false positives. It depends on the load the server can handle. But it works.

super nice thanks. Is it allowed for the king player in KOTH match to block probes from other players? I can't somehow even ping the target IP anymore. I guess he really wants to win

You should definitely check out rustscan. It can save a lot of time in koth.
