Did anybody meet the error message ERROR_DS_DRA_BAD_DN? I believe I have made preparation well and I think I have a user owns proper rights, but two different solutions get the same error code (0x20f7) when I try to get valuable data.

Caused by only a wrong switch value… It was a great challenge. Thank you for the author.

quite literally at the same point as that, both remotely and with the cats on the box as well, same error code. Gonna go take a look at my confs again but I feel like I am so close but so far rn.

I simply used a wrong switch value in a dsacls command.

I would like to ask somebody who managed to run current version of S…H… successfully to send a pm for me. I used both a remote python version and an old PS but I failed to get output using current PS. Thx.

Rooted.
Tears where shed and joy was had but at the end of the day, my AD knowledge and windows exploitation is vastly improved. Three days for the root lol, just about as I was going to go to bed as well.

Has this weird thing happen to me, idk if this was the case with anyone else but just incase you are struggling with that error mentioned on the cat: you have a literal 10 second window before your privesc breaks. Might of just been me. You can use scripts to help automate this so you are in time to get something out of the cat.

F I N A L L Y !!!
Thanks go to @MrPennybag & @bipolarmorgan for helping me out when stuck!

hackthebox: Please give us more of these AD / Hound machines! I hate them really, but at least I’m learning a ton! ?

It was messy, but I managed to root it. Feel free to message me for hints.

BOOM! goes the dynamite. This was a fun and frustrating journey but learned a lot in the windows privesc world. Thanks to @Phaas03 and @btwiusearch for jogging my brain into a different way of thinking to get me over the root hill.

Rooted. If someone is doing this with WSL under Windows 10, msg me for some details about root. PM me for hints if you want.

Can anyone offer DM for hint/nudge on user? I got creds for s**-a***** and not too sure what I am missing on attempt to use these creds.

@Dabson Yeah I am right there too. Did some research but I guess I might be overlooking something. I would appreciate a DM from any of the dungeon masters.

Can anyone give me a nudge for user? I have all the open ports, see all the services. Everything I look at needs a user/pass, is the only way in via user/pass lists or bruteforce?

Amazing box, learned some good stuff !

Bruteforce = Nope (bad mojo, especially for easy\medium machines)
Try and enumerate users, see what you can find.

Ok, I give up, I need some help. I’ve got e***-**** running. I have S****-H****. I can’t however get any output whatsoever from said app. Is there a way I can get a better shell now that I’m in with e***-****? I just don’t get any output from the tool and am probably missing something really obvious.

Edit: I guess I can run said tool locally, and need to figure that out!

Finally Rooted!! What a ride! Learnt a lot. Many thanks to the box creator, very good work!

Okay thanks. I saw some other people suggesting brute-force in this thread and thought that didn’t seem right - where’s the value/challenge is sitting watching and waiting for a brute-force to complete?

I will go back to the drawing board and dig deeper into enumeration.

Great box, thanks the creators for the nice experience

Im really stuck at getting the user :frowning: So i have few questions i found the user from which we can get the hash.

I’m trying to use tool from impacket called G****T.py but after specifying -k -no-pass htb.local/{VULN USER}
it throws me an error except the hash.

SessionKeyDecryptionError: failed to decrypt session key: ciphertext integrity failure

So the question, is the problem on my end(software ver etc) or im doing something wrong and i will never get that way Hash?

did u figure it out? cause I am stack at the same thing

I am able to run a version of S*********.ps1 from H**5. However, I am not able to upload the .zip nor the individual files to *****hound. It first states “Processing file name.csv” then followed by “Unrecognized File”.
Anyone able to provide some insight into what the problem might be?

Thank you :)!
