Sauna

Hey all, got the first user f****h, thanks to the help of @Arrowhead7 @Noob5RUs
@VbScrub, apologies for the newbie questions!

Nice work @superduper101 I am learning to my friend!

That one quote is funny about getting a loan and not able to pay it back. This is real life.

rooted !!! Thanks @TeRMaN

We’ve learned some other tools.

User1: Check the web, use usernames that follow the AD convections.

User2: List with some tool for Windows, if you like peas, it will be easier for you.

Root: Take advantage of the loan from user2 and try to get them to give you their secrets, then use another tool in your arsenal, to get them to let you in.

This was crazy, as a complete windows noob. Thanks for a great box and lots of new knowledge! @egotisticalSW

Could someone PM me here what misconfiguration made this (the root step) possible?

Now im gonna relax for a day and do the box again hoping to understand a bit more lol.

I’ve got plaintext credentials for the service account, but they don’t seem to be valid. Am I overlooking something, or going into a rabbithole?

yeah the username you found isn’t quite right… I think its a mistake from the box author personally, but maybe its just meant to be an extra little trick. Do some more enum in the normal place you’d find user accounts in this environment and find the correct username

Lol I noticed that too…I already had the correct one though. Could go either way.

Just rooted!

Nice box, especially if you’ve tried another, similar one before. It’s good to practice and that was what Sauna did for me. I could check my writeup and see what has been missing.

Although all seems to have been said:

User: Simple enumeration, think like an admin, guess a bit, bulk processing :slight_smile:
Root: More enum, no hounds, just being evil, asking a snake for secrets and not being that faithful with them.

IIRC, there should be another way, something more…direct? Anyhow, if anyone has info on that, I’d appreciate a quick PM with a hint on where to look for info on that.

Thanks @egotisticalSW for this nice box :slight_smile:

Algunas de las pistas que puedo dejar:

User: Relacionado con OSINT, uno de los protocolos en AD y, combinaciones entre si.
User2: Enumeracion basica en Windows - Privilege Escalation.
Root: Puedes utilizar al doggo para obtener informacion, puede ser local o remota. Junto con esto automatizar el ataque tambien con una tool del doggo.

Gracias por los hints

Just rooted this machine. DM if you are stuck.

finally, after almost a week, rooted my first box.
even got john working on a kali @ RPI :smiley:
learned a lot!
Thanks @egotisticalSW !

Got User, working on root!

Finally rooted…
Awesome box (windows machine) to learn a lot about Active Directory, windows registry, Windows PE…

Thanks @egotisticalSW for the fun!

is there someone that is willing to review my impacket command? i dont get any succesfull output, plese PM me

Rooted. Really fun box. I did most things from one tool.

There’s one account that doesn’t do anything, but it got some time from me thinking it had to do something.

User1: OSINT, then think like a company/bank and how their login would be. Requires an authentication protocol knowledge.
User2: Standard enumeration on WIndows machine. Just run your everyday script and it should be clear. Requires Windows OS understanding
Root: Standard AD attack with a few steps. The first ones aren’t that usual, but the last one everyone and their cats are doing it. Basic AD skill is needed.

I need a nudge with this one, can someone PM if they can help ?

At least put without spoilers what you have enum, and the information you have gathered so far.

Rooted. Nudges in PM :slight_smile:

Rooted the box! Great learning experience for a newbie, looking forward to moving onto the next box. Thanks also go to @FunkyMcBeef and @Noob5RUs for their help too.

Rooted, was a fun box, definitely learned so much about AD with this one, I have little knowledge in that area, thanks @egotisticalSW for this box! And a big shoutout to @M3rlin for the help!

Rooted, is is a funny box, root part is easy.
