I’m here to ask for help, because it seems i’m stuck.
I’ve read the whole pdf, until the part where it started to talk about LDAP and the rest.

I know i can execute one command as the other user only on that specific folder but still, it says i don’t have permission to do so...

After i wrote this i was struck by a shine of light, so i tried what i thought and it worked, mainly because, instead of giving the same "can’t execute xyz as this user", it just have me permission denied, since i tried it on the shared_notes, which can’t be read by that user, so i did some wacky stuff with the cat command and i was able to retrieve the password!

I hope i didn’t give that big of a hint, maybe i even confused somebody! If it’s too much, i’ll just remove the thing :)

Have fun hacking!

EDIT:
I read the solutions provided afterwards, i did the 1st one, if anyone is interested.
Talking about the second one, it doesn’t seem to work for me, can anybody check it ? Maybe i’m using it wrong

I bumped into a lot of similar roadblocks as you—including reading through the entire PDF before learning it was simpler than I was making it out to be. I’d have to look at the solutions again to see how they varied.
