Yeah. It’s extremely lame that some of these boxes require msfconsole. I get it, it’s cool and easy, but it doesn’t really sharpen your skills past a certain point. We’re here to learn (■■■■, I pay for a subscription here to learn). Why force us to use crutches? And, while I understand that HTB isn’t specifically designed as a site for OSCP prep, I agree with other users that being forced into a heavily-restricted tool is a major problem for me.
Also extremely salty that I banged away at one of these machines for an entire afternoon when the solution was “just use metasploit lol”. Bad bad bad.
