Absolutely - in the real world its very useful. But in these HTB machines, where there’s usually like 2 or 3 interesting groups at most… its painful to see people spend hours struggling to get bloodhound working when they could have just manually looked at the groups permissions.
I guess it does make for better training for real world scenarios, but I feel like a lot of people here are just doing HTB machines for fun/challenge and aren’t actually going to pentest a real environment. So for those people who just want to complete the boxes, its just causing them extra problems most the time. Again though there’s no problem with people using it if they actually understand the fundamentals behind it and understand the output. But it seems a lot of the time that is not the case
