HTB Active Walkthrough With S1REN

In this video, I take on the Hack The Box machine "Active", diving deep into an Active Directory environment. This walkthrough breaks down each step of the attack, from initial reconnaissance to full system compromise. If you're looking to sharpen your skills in penetration testing, this is the video for you.
Here's what you'll see:
💻 Enumerating SMB shares and extracting sensitive files like Groups.xml.
🔐 Decrypting credentials and using them for lateral movement.
🎭 Executing Kerberoasting to capture and crack SPN hashes.
🚀 Privilege escalation to achieve SYSTEM access on a Windows Domain Controller.
This machine demonstrates just how critical it is to secure Active Directory setups and reinforces the importance of understanding real-world attack methods. Whether you’re new to pentesting or a seasoned pro, there’s something here for everyone.
📌 Highlights:
Practical use of nmap, ldapsearch, and smbclient.
Decrypting passwords from Groups.xml and leveraging them for access.
Kerberoasting with GetUserSPNs.py and cracking with John the Ripper.
Exploiting administrative privileges to complete the box.
