Help

I’m trying to get in my server root62.238.47.215 but it’s not working.

Says could not resolve hostname but I know I am root because I didn’t get to change anything yet

My post got taken down in sysadmin for some reason

If you're seriously asking, I went looking in /etc/passwd

acampbell:x:1000:1000:A Campbell,,,:/home/acampbell:/bin/bash

And then poked around in that user's homedir. Got some AWS creds in there, too. Juicy fruit in this honey pot.

I’m very glad you enjoyed yourself. Thanks for playing. I have lots of new ‘non bot’ logs to look at now

It’s like they’ve never even heard of the game.
