HackTheBox - EscapeTwo Writeup

EscapeTwo is an easy Windows machine focused on full domain compromise. Starting with low-privileged credentials, we extract more creds from a corrupted Excel file, gain MSSQL and WinRM access, and discover ADCS misconfigurations. Exploiting these flaws leads to the Administrator hash and full domain control.

HackTheBox - Manager Writeup

Manager is a medium-difficulty Hack The Box Windows machine set in an Active Directory environment with AD CS, a web server, and MSSQL. Initial access is gained via RID cycling and password spraying, followed by exploiting xp_dirtree to discover a web backup containing reused credentials. These are used for WinRM access, and privilege escalation is achieved via AD CS ESC7.
