Throwback Network

Challenge URL: https://tryhackme.com/network/throwback

Introduction

Throwback is an Active Directory (AD) lab that teaches the fundamentals and core concepts of attacking a Windows network. The network simulates a realistic corporate environment that has several attack vectors you would expect to find in today’s organisations.

The lab uses a structured, hand-held approach to guide users through exploiting the network. The use of Windows to manage authentication and user identities in IT infrastructure today is so commonly used; as an aspiring security practitioner, it’s crucial to understand how this works and the network’s common weaknesses.

You will explore the following attacks:

• Phishing & OSINT

• Offensive Powershell

• Active Directory Basics

• Kerberos Abuse

• Custom Malicious Macros

• Active Directory Enumeration & Exploitation

• Attacking Mail Servers

• Firewall Pivoting

• C2 Frameworks

• Abusing Cross-Domain Trusts

This network has been designed to have multiple attack paths.
