Relay

Premium Machine (Locked)

Relay is a beginner-friendly pivot box: ten user accounts, ten flags, one flag per user. You are handed the first account — SSH in directly as relay01 with password R3lay_St4rt_01 (no exploit needed to land the first user), grab the flag, and find the clue each user leaves behind for the next. Walk the chain relay01 → relay02 → … → relay10. NOTE: there is NO root on this machine and no privilege-escalation path. The whole challenge is lateral movement between users — do not waste time hunting for root.

Short, stage-specific nudges — directional, spoiler-light, no exact commands.

Privilege Escalation

If you need to decode text in hex, `xxd -r -p` is the command for that. davidkarpinski1 · D · 18 Jun 2026
