ProfessionalPwn3r Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 Hey all ! Greetings.! This is my 1st thread I have just a quick question regarding CTFs or Linux Systems. Anyone up for clarifying my doubt? So almost any CTF machine without GRUB or Kernel restriction can be easily tweaked to gain root access.! If so, i think this can be a legit way to enter the system and perform rest of the activities.It saves time and doesn't require privilege escalation exploits. If not, please do tell me why this can't be a legit way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digininja Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 General rule of thumb, if you have physical access then you'll win. GRUB doesn't make any difference. Full disk encryption would but you are unlikely to get that on a CTF box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
