Cicada HTB Walkthrough

Ibrahim Isiaq Bolaji November 19, 2024
Welcome to another Hack the Box exercise. In this walkthrough, I wrote how I pwned the Cicada machine on Hack the Box. Hack The Box is a cybersecurity platform that helps you bridge knowledge gaps and prepares you for cyber security jobs. You can also test and grow your penetration testing skills, from gathering information to reporting. If you are new to this blog, please do not forget to like, comment and subscribe to my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@BoltechTechnologies1) and follow me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/isiaq-ibrahim-468588156/) for more updates.


About the Machine

Cicada is an easy-difficult Windows machine that focuses on beginner Active Directory enumeration and exploitation. In this machine, players will enumerate the domain, identify users, navigate shares, uncover plaintext passwords stored in files, execute a password spray, and use the `SeBackupPrivilege` to achieve full system compromise.
