This article provides a comprehensive walkthrough of exploiting an Active Directory setup through various techniques, including LDAP injection, Kerberos enumeration, and privilege escalation using Metasploit. The detailed steps guide readers from initial enumeration to gaining shell access and extracting flags. Affected: Active Directory, Web Applications, Windows Systems
Keypoints :
- Active Directory box analysis on Hack The Box focused on various web exploits and privilege escalation techniques.
- Initial enumeration performed using Nmap and RustScan for port scanning.
- Subdomain enumeration using Gobuster with pre-defined wordlists.
- Usernames validated through Kerbrute for Kerberos authentication attempts.
- LDAP injection exploit identified through vulnerable endpoints.
- Utilized Go scripts for blind attribute extraction via LDAP.
- Brute-forcing passwords successfully obtained valid credentials.
- Shell access achieved by uploading a web shell and executing remote commands.
- Various methods for privilege escalation demonstrated using tools like Evil-WinRM and Metasploit.
- Extraction of user and root flags concludes the exploitation process.
