Abuse traditional vulnerabilities via untraditional means.

Task 1: Welcome to Spice Hut!

                                                                                                             

We are Spice Hut, a new startup company that just made it big! We offer a variety of spices and club sandwiches (in case you get hungry), but that is not why you are here. To be truthful, we aren't sure if our developers know what they are doing and our security concerns are rising. We ask that you perform a thorough penetration test and try to own root. Good luck!

Answer the questions below

  1. What is the secret spicy soup recipe?

  2. What are the contents of user.txt?

  3. What are the contents of root.txt?

Task 2: Credits

Spice Hut was very happy with your results and it is guaranteed they will spread word about your excellence with their partners. Astounding work!

I'd like to thank ku5e for being a good sensei and GeneralClaw, my grammar cop.

I'd like to thank my testers  Amit25095, BarZigmon and powershot.

Additionally, I'd love to thank TryHackMe not just for their platform, of which has changed my life, but for giving me this opportunity to give back to the community.

And of course, I'd like to thank you for playing. Hope to see you soon!
