Hey /pwnhub, Hacker Blueprint here.
For those who haven't run into us before: we build hands-on Active Directory attack chains for people grinding toward OSCP, CPTS, and similar certs. The idea is simple. Instead of watching yet another walkthrough, you get a full lab environment where you start with one low-priv foothold and have to work your way to domain control, the same way the exams expect you to. Every chain is designed to mirror that "expand the access you already have" mindset that trips people up on test day.
Today's drop: AD Chain 03, BleedWide (Expanding Influence), now fully free. No paywall, no time limit, yours to keep.
This one's from our older set, but it lines up so closely with the kind of lateral-movement work you'll see on the exam that we figured it belonged in everyone's hands. It's built around the lateral phase of an AD compromise: taking a single weak foothold and stretching it across the domain.
And of course… the obligatory cryptic CTF teaser: One weak secret is whispered the same to a hundred doors, knock softly on them all and just one swings open. Borrow the voice it trusts, echo it down the hall from host to host, and widen the crack until the whole domain answers to a name that was never yours…
What you get:
- 3 locally deployable VMs sitting inside a single Active Directory domain, mirroring the real OSCP exam environment as closely as possible
- Realistic, exam-style AD scenarios centered on expanding domain access through coordinated spraying and credential-based attacks
- A full step by step tutorial covering initial setup, network topology, domain layout, and the complete attack chain from foothold to full compromise
- A guided walkthrough that takes you end to end through every stage of the chain, so you can check your reasoning at each pivot point
- A quick deployment guide for both VirtualBox and VMware so you can get the whole domain spun up and running fast
Requirements:
- A host machine with 8GB of RAM or more (check the setup video if you're tight on memory)
- 16GB or more will run the full domain smoothly with no performance issues
- VirtualBox or VMware installed and ready to go
- Heads up: MacOS (M1/M2/M3) ARM64 won't run these labs. Anything else should be fine.
The chains are built so you can drill the same enumeration, exploitation, post exploitation, lateral movement, and privilege escalation workflow you'll hit on exam-style AD challenges. Instead of just reading theory, you're actually executing each phase against a live domain, chaining one weakness into the next until the whole environment falls. That hands-on repetition is what makes the methodology stick when you're under pressure on exam day.
