Exploiting NFS no longer works about writing HOT 8 CLOSED

You can copy the /bin/bash from the machine you are attacking to the mounted directory and then use chmod +s bash to provide suid permission and then execute ./bash -p from the victim machine.

i had a similar issue. when running the bash file i would get a token error in the first line of the bash file. i was able to see the contents of the file, but no changes I made resolved the error.

I tried to copy /bin/bash from target described above but that did not work for me either, but I was able to guess root's password...

Debes asegurarte de que tanto el propietario como el grupo del archivo bash son "root".

I had the same exact issue. I tried to open the actual bash file but the contents were all just gibberish. I could be wrong, but if it's just a bash script for a shell shouldn't we be able to see the contents of the file? I've moved on to other parts of the courses, but this is obviously a major bummer for THM to say use this script and it doesn't work

As above you need to change the ownership of the file and the group to root. My issue was they were both kali.
a quick "sudo chown root:root bash" sorted this for me thankyou nigrastormo :)

As outlined in the task, you need to use the binary provided, and then change the permissions as said both in the task and by @spik3ykat . Please direct any problems to me directly through TryHackMe.

I was able to guess the root password on the target machine (password) and cd into the root directory to read the text.
