Penetration Test Report: Forest (HTB)

AS-REP Roasting

works when a user has "Do not require Kerberos pre-authentication" enabled.

1. Real-World Applicability: The attack chain (RPC Enum -> AS-REP Roasting -> BloodHound -> DCSync) is not CTF-fluff. This exact chain is used in real-world penetration tests and red team engagements daily.
2. Tooling Familiarity: To root this box, you must master the industry-standard toolkit: Impacket, BloodHound, CrackMapExec/NetExec, and Hashcat.
3. No Chaff: The box does not waste the user's time with rabbit holes. Every port serves a purpose, and the path to root is logical and linear, provided you follow the AD methodology.
