Hi,

I’m actually stuck on step 11 to 12 where i have to use rvim.
When i try to execute the command with sudo, it tells me an error message: "sudo: unable to open audit system: Permission denied"
This never happened with other steps or with other challenges, does anyone get the same error?

Thanks

Hi,

I get it as well. The exact message I get is:

sudo: unable to open audit system: Permission denied
sudo: pam_open_session: System error
sudo: policy plugin failed session initialization

if it can help to fix the issue.

Thanks

Hello,

Please try another way to pass the 10th level (the one before rvim).

thanks for the ech0 advice, i managed to get over the level differently.
Unfortunately I lost a lot of time searching online when it would have been enough to try the most common git commands  🙄

Argh, same error message :(
I try another escalation on git without success (can’t use PAGER).

Always blocked on rvim and sudo error message...

Effectivly, just a basic command of git and rvim escalation works well :)

guys i get an error
(sudo: unable to open audit system: Permission denied
sudo: pam_open_session: System error
sudo: policy plugin failed session initialization) when passing level 11, is it a failure or should it be so?

I’ve solved it for a long day went wrong mind

The problem is you are maybe working on home directory which does not allow to write anything

Solution: Change working directory to /tmp, initiate a git project then do git privilege escalation

cd /tmp
git init
sudo git help status ----> !bin/bash

hope that helpful
