Welcome to another boot2root / CTF this one is called Analougepond. The VM is set to grab a DHCP lease on boot. I've tried to mix things up a little on this one, and have used the feedback from #vulnhub to make this VM a little more challenging (I hope).

Since you're not a Teuchter, I'll offer some hints to you:

Remember TCP is not the only protocol on the Internet My challenges are never finished with root. I make you work for the flags. The intended route is NOT to use forensics or 0-days, I will not complain either way.

To consider this VM complete, you need to have obtained:

  • Troll Flag: where you normally look for them
  • Flag 1: You have it when you book Jennifer tickets to Paris on Pan Am.
  • Flag 2: It will include a final challenge to confirm you hit the jackpot.
  • Have root everywhere (this will make sense once you're in the VM)
  • User passwords
  • 2 VNC passwords

Best of luck! If you get stuck, eat some EXTRABACON

NB: Please allow 5-10 minutes or so from powering on the VM for background tasks to run before proceeding to attack.
