    been busy the whole day, but in the end I was able to finish the lab. 
    Target 1 took me quite a while to find the right exploit and to execute it well :)
    Target 2 was in the beginning quite easy to gain initial access, but then I craweled into the world of LD_PRELOAD which helped me not at all :)
    and Target 3 was like.. wtf?! then I got a lucky shot and intial access was good and the path continued until success. 

    Thanks for the funny lab. Hope I don't have to wait too long for March :)

      Target 2 conquered (for me the easiest one, for now). For Target 1 and 3, indeed, I know where to look but I'm having a little trouble finding indeed the right exploit for 1 and see how to “talk” to 3 :).

      Interesting Labs!

        Target1 is to find the right exploit indeed. I needed to find it externally (google) and then copy it to the lab (base64 is your friend).

        Target3  you see the hint in another comment :)
