DAY 23

Another day, another ROOT !

COUNTER: 9 ROOTED BOXES

It seems to be that the exploits I tried when I started the lab that aren't working are working now. How is this possible ?

Hate to admit it, but it's maybe because I'm getting slighter better at it. I still have to say that I consider this all to be 'low hanging fruit' so far.

One strange thing happened today, I tried to exploit a certain service with a know overflow bug by MS. I crashed the server really hard. So hard maybe that when I reverted it several times, that one service is not coming up at all. That service also ran for several weeks so I'm wondering maybe it's a service that another hacker opened ? I have a complain about the labs, I'm hacking a server and I'm not the only one, all of the sudden the webdir is full of exploit code., I revert it, but the other guy who's also working on it, puts back quickly his exploit code. I kinda hate that :-(


I'm also still in my student network and no sign at all of any links to any other networks. Still a really really long way to go imho !!!

You can try asking on the IRC channel if someone else is working on it and see if they'll let you have a go. Otherwise, move on to another machine.

There must be some limit on how many students are allotted lab time at the same time, otherwise you would bump into each other all over the place. Do they tell you what that limit is?

routed another one, counter is now on 12 rooted boxes !!

I'm calling it the day now. I'm seeing some things double   

wow what a big topic i think its the longest topic in this forum. Lol

Dude your killing it... nice work!

Don't think like that! Just need to step it up a gear and ... wait for it... Try Harder! You will be fine. Take a little rest and then approach it with fresh eyes.

Just rooted another one, and Yihaaa!!! It's my first server connecting to the other network !!!!!!

TOTAL SERVERS ROUTED: 14
