    Your ISP/FBI agent must be so confused by how much you'd searched for pickles in this video
  • @tonhozi
    Took me 3 days but I watched it. Learned a lot. Thanks!!
  • @jonxslays
    That burnout feeling at the end is so relatable. The write up inadvertently illuminates bugs in the project. Thanks for sharing John.
  • @abhirambsn
    Thank you John, I was researching for a video like this for months. Finally got a lot of help
  • @BenOwen
    This video has been fantastic to watch through. Definitely appreciate the more "raw" approach, allowed us to see you work through problems, see thought processes, troubleshooting, and creativity. Thank you for uploading this!
  • @aarondinesh3657
    I saw that obfuscated data and I don't think I've seen anything more evil than that......hats off to you!
  • @eobeob5059
    I learned so much from this video, thank you !
  • Hey John, just a quick note from a linux sysadmin. If you define a system service, the user does not need to be able to access the file at all. The service will be started as root and systemd will than drop privileges.

    Well, that is some sleep I'm never getting back... But honestly, cool idea for a box
  • @stiljohny
    As always, great context. What I am really interested is, on every video you do on pwning a box in various platforms, you always do some steps that are very similar, ( make folder, put some files in, run some scans etc. ) is there any good script to start all this ?
  • @arnoldwayne6775
    Wow I never knew you could do all this stuff with this thing they call commandline. Wow
  • @MatejDujava
    find -print0 and (-exec or xargs) is another way to show content of the file you can use `install` instead of cp,chown,chnod combination
  • Nice video, showing the entire process. Painful that you have to upload the entire disk-file, instead of just your /data folder and setup script. This would save a lot of bandwidth fo TryHackMe. 3:33:10 - I can also replace the binary with a symlink to `/bin/bash` and get a shell directly (because of ownership by dill), circumventing your peak_hill_farm challenge.
  • @rioghander2te
    Instead of "\u2000", you could've also used "\u2063" (⁣) for a literal zero-width character (example inside that parenthesis). Or use "chr(0)" which is a null character that exists, but can't be copied.
  • @ThatsMrQuarter
    So I'm new to anything programming and it looks amazing (and complex). Do you have a video of where to start or anything? (Its all so foreign i don't even know which to watch)
  • @texastitan6567
    What distro are you using? I’ve seen it in all your videos and want to try it out for myself!
