A company installs a legitimate software update from its trusted vendor. Days later, multiple systems begin communicating with attacker-controlled infrastructure. Investigation reveals malicious code was inserted into the vendor's build process before the update was distributed.
A compromised workstation authenticates to several servers using legitimate administrative credentials. No malware is detected on the servers. The attacker then uses remote services to execute commands.
A company discovers attackers accessed an internal application. Investigation shows the application was running an outdated version with a publicly documented critical vulnerability. No previously unknown vulnerability was involved.
A domain controller shows no evidence of a user password compromise. However, an attacker appears to access multiple domain resources using a forged Kerberos authentication ticket. The ticket remains valid even after the affected user's password is changed.
A newly deployed internal service has gone online, but beneath the surface lies a chain of weaknesses waiting to be discovered. Your mission is to enumerate, investigate, and escalate your way through the environment.
