Capture Flag Ntlm Hash Attack Lab

In this lab, you will face a Windows machine belonging to a startup with insecure configurations in its shared services. It is suspected that, through exposed resources and poor credential management, administrative access might be gained without knowing any passwords.

Your objective is to analyze the available services, identify sensitive information, and assess whether the system can be compromised using alternative authentication mechanisms.

🌱 How to Start This Lab

Follow these instructions to get started:

1. Download the virtual machine from this link:

1. Import the machine into your preferred virtualization software (VirtualBox, VMware, etc.).

2. Start the VM and begin the challenge.

Remember: You don't always need a password... sometimes, a hash is enough.

Good luck!
