Description

Part 4 covers AD privilege escalation in the 404 Bank lab, moving from the compromised Robert Graff account to RDP on the domain controller, recovering deleted emails, and compromising Daniel Hoffman 0:00.

Key Takeaways:
• BloodHound shows Robert Graff can add members to the Remote Desktop Users group and ForceChangePassword on three users 1:28
• Using BloodyAD, he adds himself to Remote Desktop Users and gains RDP access to the DC 2:27
• Jan Tresor is targeted since she has a profile on the DC; her password is reset and she's added to Remote Desktop Users 7:45
• As Jan, Recycle Bin emails reveal a password policy hint (custom wordlist from bank history), a notice that svc-services was deactivated by Robert Graff (hinting at a future ADCS path), and Daniel Hoffman's leaked credentials 11:33
• Hoffman's credentials ("RemoteAccess2024!") are confirmed working, compromising another user 17:25

After four parts, the presenter has compromised five users with RDP on the DC, challenging viewers to enumerate Hoffman's permissions and pursue svc-services via an ADCS exploit 19:59.

What is up everyone? Welcome back to another video. This video will be part four of working through 404 Bank from the Hack Smarter platform. Now, here's the thing. You will learn a lot by watching this video, but you'll learn significantly more by hacking alongside of me. So, if you haven't already, make sure you boot up 404 Bank, boot up your Kali Linux or Parrot or whatever you want to use, and get ready to hack all the things. You will also notice that there is chat on the screen right here. I make these videos while I live stream. I live stream all the time, but you are missing out. You are not here.
