Mr Robot CTF

Based on the Mr. Robot show, can you root this box?

Task 1: Connect to our network

To deploy the Mr. Robot lab machine, you will first need to connect to our network.

Answer the questions below

  1. Connect to our network using OpenVPN. Here is a mini walkthrough of connecting:

    Go to your access page and download your configuration file.

  2. Use an OpenVPN client to connect. In my example I am on Linux, on the access page we have a windows tutorial.

    (change "ben.ovpn" to your config file)

    When you run this you see lots of text, at the end it will say Initialization Sequence Completed

  3. You can verify you are connected by looking on your access page. Refresh the page

    You should see a green tick next to Connected. It will also show you your internal IP address.

    You are now ready to use our machines on our network!

  4. Now when you deploy material, you will see an internal IP address of your Lab Machine.

Task 2: Hack the machine


Can you root this Mr. Robot styled machine? This is a lab machine meant for beginners/intermediate users. There are 3 hidden keys located on the machine, can you find them?
