    Folks, my Lab time started 2 weeks ago, my frustration level is very high now.
    I poped Alice which was very simple but no I habe absolute no clue what to do.
    Everything I try something I just hit a wall and as we know there is no help beside the "try harder" phrase comming from Offsec.

    I really need some help :/

    Google is your friend. Make sure to absorb the material from the guide and the videos but also go beyond that and research on your own.

    Any particular topic you are having trouble with?
    Yes, I am a criminal. My crime is that of curiosity. My crime is that of judging people by what they say and think, not what they look like. My crime is that of outsmarting you, something that you will never forgive me for.

    No, no particular problem at the moment I am just lost. At the moment I am not able to finde the right angle to attack those machines.

    But yes there is a problem Privilege Escalation. It is not really covered in the script.

    Check this out https://www.ethicalhacker.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9169.0/ . You can find some nice resources with the help of Google but if you are having trouble, we can probably help.

    How far into it are you? Share your progress and weak areas and I'm positive the good folk here will provide guidance.

    no one says please give me a walkthrough but its complete pointless just to tell the students "try harder" instead of giving a hint to push them in the right direction!

    Yup, if people see you are trying harder and really putting in a lot they could give you a push in the right direction with, for example, something to go and learn on your own. But no one is going to tell you how to break into a machine or anything like that. The point of the course is to be able to make it on your own.

    Today was a good one!
    Poped 3 boxes (all root) well better say 2 because 2 of em could be poped with the exact same exploit!

    Anyway Yay!

    Well but still no hope with Bob! If I am not able to exploit a process who is already running as system/root I am complete lost!!!

    50 days in a few machines rooted, well I still haven't found the network keys needed to unlock all the other networks.

    Necro-viving ancient threads with your first post eh? Forgiven this time, I suppose. I'll chalk it up to your lack of sleep from your long hours in the lab.

    And keep working friend. You'll get there.

    Outta curiosity, how much time have you all committed to the OSCP course? Is this a 2 hours a night kinda thing so say 14 hours a week?

    Congrats. Bob is a big milestone. What's the score so far? I wouldn't be messing with PAIN, SUFFERENCE or GHOST until you've made some serious headway in the rest of the lab.

    Just saw this forum recently and apologize to replying on an ancient thread. I'm working on the OSCP currently, have 19 hosts pwned. The course require a lot of commitment and it was never easy. I have learn many things from the course but yet I think I still have a lot more to learn.
