Timing
Very clever box, lured me into thinking I had the solution but pulled a switcheroo! Also I’ve left in a typo that caused hours of confusion, always be aware of not getting in your own way! Privesc was a clever wrinkle on a pretty common technique. Overall a really enjoyable challenge
Pandora
A good fun box, pretty stragithforward and at a good level for an easy-rated machine. Clever escalations needing a good bit of research, excellent!

Recon to foothold Let’s begin with a scan, first masscan

Secret
A good fun box, imho though it’s pretty much all the way over to medium, not easy as rated. User is pretty straightfoward with thorough enumeration but the privesc to root is more than beginner level for sure, took a bit of thinking and trial and error!
