Solution

Ok, so I hit the site and registered. Pasted image 20220909211944 Got the instructions for getting into the domain. Pasted image 20220909211953

ssh jmapyzkpie@grades.elfu.org -p 2222

User: jhmrryypfy Password: Ysvckvgyd@

Logged in via ssh Pasted image 20220909212037 What's this escape vim thing? Pasted image 20220909212045 When I spam the Esc key I see that I'm in a shell? Pasted image 20220909212052 Pressing ctrl+D brings up a python traceback and dumps me into a python shell, where I can then open bash with os.system('/bin/bash'). kerb-1

I can then change my shell so reconnects go straight to bash. Pasted image 20220909212125

I can see what other machines this one knows about with arp -a. Pasted image 20220909212134

Well that hint said something about a domain controller on a 10.x.x.x network, so let's see what other networks I can route to from this machine. Pasted image 20220909212141
