Active any hints

Hey everyone,
I don’t know what exactly I do wrong but I seem to use some of the tools in a wrong way. At the moment I know the user names, and what shares are on the machine. I am able to get into it, but any further commands then were denied by the server. I used, for instance, nullinux and both *clients. I have no name of any x files or such yet.
If anyone would mind to help me, please PM.

Rooted.I learned a lot.Guys Thank you for help

I don’t know which tool to use to crack:
All the tools I tried does give errors or are displaying 0 Hashes/second.

Any hint?

One heck of a trip to get this box. I learned quite a few new tricks! Looking back at this journey, not everything brought direct usable results, but it sure narrowed down the searchpath. Thanks to @Grepthis for pointing out the last step, I completely would have missed that! Awesome box @eks @mrb3n!

I get “Line-length exception” error from hashcat. I know which mode I need to use, and I am using hashcat on my ubuntu laptop, no vm. Did anyone else experienced this?

Great box, really enjoyed it. Lots learn. I disagree with people saying all you need is Kali! There are tools out there that you will need to download to enable you to complete this. The tools I used were;
Nullinux - GitHub - m8sec/nullinux: Internal penetration testing tool for Linux that can be used to enumerate OS information, domain information, shares, directories, and users through SMB.
CME (CrackMapExec) - GitHub - byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec: A swiss army knife for pentesting networks
ImPacket - GitHub - fortra/impacket: Impacket is a collection of Python classes for working with network protocols.

Got root. These tools really helped me especially for root. I learned a lot from this machine. Thank you creators.

PM for subtle educational hints

Hello everyone, if you are having issues with the typical tools mentioned in this forum to connect to the service, it’s probably a misconfiguration with your Kali smb.conf file. Here is what I did to fix it:

nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

// In the file, I added the following in the [global] section
client min protocol = SMB2
client max protocol = SMB3

sudo service smbd restart

This was a fun box and extremely realistic. Feel free to reach out if you need help

I belive I know what has to be done for priv esc - read through the forum, downloaded and installed various tools listed in previous posts and I have the necessary information

I presume from what I’ve read - John or Hashcat has to be used ? (if so I hate bruteforce )
Dont fancy cooking my laptop as its stupidly hot in the uk at the moment - Am I on the right path or not ?

Impacket 0.9.15 didn’t work properly. After updating to newest version 0.9.17 it terminates even worse with >> ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘Present’ << Anyone have an idea how to get over this point or can recommend alternative tools? PM? Thx.
