So to start off as always we will do some port scanning usin Rust scan.

```

From this results we can find another domain which is "CICADA-DC.cicada.htb" Which appears to be the domain controller so i belive this is and Active Directory env.

### SMB.

So in windows i always love to start with SMB so running "enum4linux"  and "smbclient" i find that the server allows anonymous logins and i find some shares.

Let's check if we can access any of these shares.

So in the HR share i found this message.

Here we can find the default password but there is no username.

{% hint style="info" %}
Password is : Cicada$M6Corpb\*@Lp#nZp!8
{% endhint %}

So my idea from here was to find some users and maybe one of them will be using the default password.&#x20;

So using the RID brute force we are able to find some valid users.

```

so from this list i got the users an put them into a file.

```
Administrator
krbtgt
john.smoulder
sarah.dantelia
michael.wrightson
david.orelious
emily.oscars
```

then preform password spray attack.

```
 nxc smb 10.10.11.35 -u users -p 'Cicada$M6Corpb*@Lp#nZp!8'

```

And indded we find a valid user.

{% hint style="info" %}
username:password / michael.wrightson:Cicada$M6Corpb\*@Lp#nZp!8
{% endhint %}

After finding this user first i tried to login into smb maybe we can find more info but there is nothing. So i find that we can enumerate more users and looks for possiable other users.

```

```

Using this command we are able to find a password of the user.

{% hint style="info" %}
david.orelious:aRt$Lp#7t\*VQ!3
{% endhint %}

After this i tried again to enumerate smb shares in this was successful in the dev share we find this script.

Yet another username and password.

{% hint style="info" %}
emily.oscars: Q!3\@Lp#M6b*7t*Vt
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="https://616326001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fi149KGmTZ4nvE4TuOMXm%2Fuploads%2FXJAunArzYet6B7UaKMU5%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=a8fd8c24-2d6f-40ce-8d40-508e16110921" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Here we can see that emily has access to  Remote admin so we can possible user evil-winrm to get shell on the system

<figure><img src="https://616326001-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fi149KGmTZ4nvE4TuOMXm%2Fuploads%2FKtuzb9aV6gwEzs4JZj0I%2Fimage.png?alt=media&#x26;token=41792cd3-a67b-46f0-b2a2-7017d86ca747" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

And yeah now we have access on emily account.\\

## Administrator.

After getting the flag now we can start look for privilage esclation method.

After a log search i found that we maybe have pivilage that would allow us to access anywhere in the system.

{% embed url="<https://book.hacktricks.xyz/windows-hardening/windows-local-privilege-escalation/privilege-escalation-abusing-tokens#sebackupprivilege>" %}

And i tried to use this script inorder to exploit it.

I upload the file into the machine and executed it.

## Ending.

As final thought this machine was quite fun actully because i did not work with AD much so that was a good expericne with the tool and methodology we could use. Also that we do not have a web to gain access from was also something i have not seen in a while. A great machine So happy :birthday:
