HTB Active Directory ⓘ Microsoft's directory service for managing users, computers, and permissions across a Windows domain. Windows Sudo ⓘ Linux command for running as another user — misconfigured sudo rules are a common privilege escalation path. Nmap ⓘ A network scanner used to enumerate open ports, services, and versions on a target. DNS ⓘ The Domain Name System — translates hostnames to IPs; often leaks subdomains and internal naming during recon. NTLM ⓘ Windows' legacy authentication protocol — vulnerable to relay and pass-the-hash attacks. WinRM ⓘ Windows Remote Management — used for remote PowerShell access, often the lateral-movement endpoint on AD boxes. SMB ⓘ Server Message Block — Windows file-sharing protocol, frequently abused for enumeration and lateral movement. DCSync ⓘ Abusing domain replication permissions to ask a Domain Controller for password hashes as if you were another DC. BloodHound ⓘ A tool that maps Active Directory trust relationships as a graph to reveal hidden attack paths to Domain Admin. LDAP ⓘ Lightweight Directory Access Protocol — used to query Active Directory; often vulnerable to injection or anonymous binds. Pass-the-Hash ⓘ Authenticating using a stolen NTLM password hash directly, without ever knowing the plaintext password. Linux Medium machine - Nineveh.
HTB RCE ⓘ Remote Code Execution — the ability to run arbitrary commands on a target system remotely. Linux SSH ⓘ Secure Shell — encrypted remote login, targeted via key theft, brute force, or misconfigured access. Nmap ⓘ A network scanner used to enumerate open ports, services, and versions on a target. PHP LFI ⓘ Local File Inclusion — a web vulnerability letting an attacker read arbitrary files on the server. MySQL Brute Force ⓘ Systematically trying many credential combinations until one succeeds. SUID ⓘ A Linux permission bit that runs a binary as its owner — misconfigured SUID binaries are a classic privesc vector.
