Welcome to another boot2root / CTF this one is called Gibson. The VM is set to grab a DHCP lease on boot. It doesn't matter what your local subnet is, as long as you keep away from the 192.168.122.0/24 subnet. You will see why soon enough...

Once again, I'll offer some hints to you:

• SSH can forward X11.
• The challenge isn't over with root. The flag is not where you expect to find it.
