1st Mission - Operation Castle Ivy

[ZaRaK]

How is it possible to crack a user account with the password attack, without having a URL, just an IP?

Actually, an URL (Uniform Ressource Locator) is not only www.johndoe.com... it could be anything using to locate any file or else.

I let you this link to learn more about it ;)

Sure. But the in-game tools follow their own rules, restrictions and behaviours.

And the provided rule example for that specific tool in the training material from what I remember of the certification mission for it is that the password cracker needs a full (Non-IP) target path, not that it either requires a full target (Non-IP) path or can work with sub-directory targets based off of your current connected IP address.

If you for some reason naturally assumed that there were not any artificially imposed restrictions as a game tool and never came into the problem, fair enough.

I agree. I reseted the certification mission three times and I didn't find any informations about full non-IP path for cracking password.

Sorry, it was obvious to me but forgot it was not for everyone :(

So I'm probably going to sound like an idiot, but after I get the password from the Password Attack...what am I supposed to do? I have no clue what to do with the password

Indeed it's easy to fix, I will an advanced intrusion training that show some local drive connections example.

You need to connect to the local share that you just password crack using the filebrowser

Huh. I tried the File Browser, but gave up since nothing I entered into the Target Host field worked, so I thought I was on the wrong track.

Still not sure what to do from there. I still can't connect to anything.

Wow, my issue was I thought the dollar sign was supposed to be an S. I spent over an hour trying so many things, like different variations of the path, trying to find a domain name for the IP, and nothing worked. For the future, you really should make the dollar sign clearly a dollar sign.

I know this thread is old, but I literally just had this same issue until I came across your comment. Thank you.

I was stuck at the password stage for a while as well. It's supremely unintuitive that the game expects you to enter the full local path and then repeat part of it as the username. And the c$ only adds to the confusion.

[Nex]

Oh wow, thats really unintuitive lol. I was getting incredibly frustrated.

[Chape]

I've just finished this mission, I'm really enjoying this - have a little bit of feedback, which also contains a little bit of spoilidge:

I have no experience in directing or partaking in the act of turning a burbs smart house into a small crater using a Drone Strike. However, I'm pretty sure if you did do that, you'd lose all network connectivity you happened to have to the newly established crater.

After the dialogue had finished and I went back to the mission menu and my desktop, I was still connected to the smarthouse, still had my C2 VPN connection - Could still turn on the barbecue, which surely would be in a distant neighbours garden of few blocks over :)

Maybe auto-disconnect all connections on the first two options, none for moving the drone away.

[SetheChosenOne]

IP works, too. At least it did for me...

so to clarify are you saying that the username is /printer/hpinkjet/user/nlightman/c$ with the path being /printer/hpinkjet? because I am still so freaking confused. Please help

edit: nevermind I figured it out

[Stitry]

Welp, i didn't figure it out. ô_O

[Zelox]

The url is: /user/nlightman/c$
The username is: nlightman
wasted me an hour reading acedamy tutorials and finally found the answer by watching youtube.

♥♥♥♥♥ sake that was so simple but yet so hard lol i feel stupid wasting half an hour trynna find why it doesnt work

[Team Triss]

Sorry for the necro, but I'd like to join the chorus of "HTF were we supposed to figure out the proper URL for this one?"

Glad I found the topic, but either I missed something in the tutorial or the relation between WMI results and what the password attack is looking for is not explained well at all.

EDIT: Oh wow, it is mentioned in the tutorial, it's just REALLY buried in the advanced tutorials. I didn't do the Network Ops tutorials before trying the first Operation, I didn't think it would immediately throw me into the advanced topics.
