Machine Synopsis
Vintage is a hard difficulty Windows machine designed around an assumed breach scenario, where the attacker is provided with low-privileged user credentials. The machine features an Active Directory environment without ADCS installed, and NTLM authentication is disabled. There is a "Pre-Created computer account," meaning the password is the same as the sAMAccountName of the machine account. The "Domain Computer" organisational unit (OU) has a configuration allowing attackers to read the service account password, which has gMSA configured. After obtaining the password, the service account can add itself to a privileged group. The group has complete control over a disabled user. The attacker is supposed to restore the disabled user and set a Service Principal Name (SPN) to perform Kerberoasting. After recovering the password, the user account has reused the same password. The newly compromised user has a password stored in the Credential Manager. The user can add itself to another privileged group configured for Resource-Based Constrained Delegation (RBCD) on the Domain Controller, allowing the attacker to compromise it.
