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.
