Failed my OSCP attempt. Completely brick-walled by the AD pivot. Is it a nightmare set?
Hey everyone,
Just finished my OSCP exam attempt and unfortunately failed. I'm trying to treat this as a learning experience and prepare for the retake immediately.
My biggest bottleneck was the Active Directory set. I managed to get an initial foothold and eventually escalated privileges on the first machine.
The problem? I couldn't for the life of me find a way to pivot or authenticate to Machine 2.
I honestly feel like I tried absolutely everything humanly possible, threw the entire book at it, and completely ran out of ideas. Everythings was empty and I could not dump any hashes or Kerberoasting tickets. I found one user creds but it was useless, I also did pass-sprying but without any resultats
Also, is it possible that I just got hit with one of those infamous "nightmare sets" that people occasionally whisper about?
After submitong the report the offsec will gave me full walktrougu how to solve my set?
Obviously, I'm not asking for exam spoilers due to NDA, but conceptually speaking... what am I missing here?
