While Emily worked on the issue from a local admin account, the threat actor continued the attack. With the entry point secured and Emily’s domain credentials stolen, they now wanted to explore opportunities for privilege escalation. Leveraging your knowledge of Windows forensics, can you uncover the elevating movement? All details are in the video , on the last task I connect to the machine with xfreerdp3 transfer the file on the kali linux and inspect with the pypykatz.

  This is another challenge for the Blue Team, but the level here is hard. Once the machine starts, we will receive credentials that allow us to dig into the logs directly. By exploring the attacker’s footsteps, we will identify which pages of the web application they accessed. Additionally, we have full access to the backend code of the running application once we log in via SSH. So I am not running any directory fuzzing tool. All Details are in the video  Thank you for watching 

  Threat Hunt Walkthrough The "Typo Snare" scenario on TryHackMe is a fantastic real-world simulation of a sophisticated, multi-stage attack. It starts with a simple mistake and escalates to a full domain compromise, culminating in ransomware. This post will walk you through the entire attack chain, phase by phase, showing you how to find each piece of evidence using Elastic KQL queries. Phase 1: Initial Access & Execution What Happened: The attack began when the user perry.parsons on workstation WKSTN-03 needed a 7-Zip tool. He googled it, clicked a typosquatted link ( 7zipp.org ), and downloaded a trojanized installer. This installer executed a PowerShell script ( 7z.ps1 ) directly from the attacker's server to establish the initial foothold. How to Find It: You are looking for a PowerShell process that was likely spawned by a browser and contains a command to download and execute a script ( iwr for Invoke-WebRequest and iex for Invoke-Expression ). KQL Query...
