Completed this box today with help from the video. For some reason, the PHP web shell worked initially, got deleted by the script, and then stopped working entirely when trying to reupload (very odd). Used the php-reverse-shell script in the end and it worked consistently. Haven't owned a box for a year it shows. Fumbled over everything from upgrading the shell to dropping an SSH key into dash's authorized keys. It's crazy how quickly skills/knowledge can fade when not using them frequently. Thanks for the video, it helped loads.
I really, really love that you don't edit out your mistakes! I sometimes feel so unbelievable stupid when such things happen to me, but it really helps me to see that even people with much more skill still sometimes mess up! I messed things up on this box (but at least i learned :D): I did not properly use sqlmap, so the whole token/cookie thing did not work, therefore I have written my own python blind sql injection script from scratch. While at it, I learned about python thread polls to pwn in parallel \o/ After extracting the admin hash, john failed to crack it and very much later I learned about mysql equals (or like) not beeing case sensitive and my script therefore extracting the hash with mixed case... So much pain, but a lot to learn even just extracting and cracking the password! Thanks hackthebox for providing those machines!
🤣 love how I do the first 10 parts of teir 0 on the starting point, then it directs me to machines to try, and I'm like sure why not, oh hey a very easy one......I watched 10seconds of your video and I'm lost instantly.....very easy my a** 😂 great video though
that's me right here, I don't know even where should I start and I feel so lost. Like I understand all these instruments that he uses, but how the fuck do I know all flags and know what to do or where to look. Im so lost over cyber..
@@timgreen5281 just keep doing it everyday you feel lost cause there is thousands of things to learn and you can't do that in even a year. look at his channel history he has been doing this for more than 7 years just keep grinding. this is one of the hardest fields to learn.
it wasn't due to cookie timeout, as you saved the request data at wrong file "root.out" at 10:58 , and the sqlmap ran correctly after deleting the previous result data. (i unknowingly spoke loudly when you saved it at wrong file 😩)
I did the exactly same thing that ipp do but i got this idk why is ipp's http header and mine is also same nothing more in there then why is that anyone have this same problem?
always good to watch these videos because i did end up rooting it but i _did_ get stuck on the raw symlink not working (however creating a symlink to just, all of /root works) and now i know why ^_^

@@ippsec Oh, ok

I know why creating a symlink to /root/root.txt doesn't work, but why does creating a symlink to /root works?
