Rooted, it’s a nice box, good enumeration practice for Windows.
Lots of hints already in this discussion thread. For user, there’s one level of indirection to get another user using a well known method for enumerating users on a well known port. For root, look at what’s running, which user is running it, then look for data.
Thanks for the help everyone I was able to root this box. Props to @V1s3r1on , @gexus , @zkvo , @0x6a666c6a72 , and @sazouki for making my 1st windows box on HTB a success. I went to your HTB profiles and gave you all respect. Thanks again
In somehow windows machine are always different and there is always something new to learn, this one has been pretty fast but I needed to learn new tools and ■■■■… so cool!
few hints:
user: if you have 3 passwd but nothing fit inside, there is an impacket tool
root: i don’t know if i have been lucky but I noticed some processes i usually see on real machines but not on htb , the first attempt gave me everything very clearly, 1 tool is needed
