HTB - Starting Point (Foothold)

Hi Guys,

I am working through the starting point exercises, and come to a bit of a blocker where I am running the reverse shell cmd through the SQL terminal window once I have access through mssqclient.

I have both the listener and server running respectively, however, once I run the reverse powershell cmd, I notice changes on the listener and server, but on the SQL terminal I’m noticing the command in a stuck like state? Is this supposed to happen? Or is the cmd supposed to return so that I can enter another SQL cmd for example?

Any direction would be welcomed.

Cheers!
