Help

·1986 words·10 mins
Help shows a number or niche techniques and pivoting options, it keeps on showing interesting attack vectors but doesn’t become annoying or unnecessary complicated at any point. It’s fun and enjoyable through the whole time. It also has a few ways to be solved which is always fun to try after the initial root. At some points there is an opportunity for some minor rabbit holes - which I of course found - but it was a good reminder to not be afraid to go a few steps back and double-check your notes.

MonteVerde

MonteVerde is a pretty straightforward machine, it shows a niche technique of privilege escalation with Azure AD Connect but besides it, it’s pretty typical in terms of pivoting, enumeration, and gaining the foothold. Still, there aren’t many boxes that touch Azure so it was really interesting to explore it.

ServMon

Servmon is a relatively simple machine. There are two public exploits that can be used to finish it and a Metasploit script for even less hustle. The level of complexity highly depends on your approach. Overall a good machine to try out.
