Day 2 of the HTB CWES exam, and I’ve officially crossed the 80-point passing mark!
I haven’t taken an exam since eJPT, so I was pretty nervous going into this one. Huge relief to get past the line.
Taking a quick breather, then it’s back to the remaining flags and the report.

@TheSecOpsGroup Rather than fixating on powershell.exe, I’d enumerate allowed paths. The error points to AppLocker/SRP, so I’d test powershell_ise.exe or the SysWOW64 copy, try copying binaries to C:\Windows\Tasks, and probe LOLBINs (mshta, rundll32) to map the attack surface.
@AlteredSecurity I’m interested in CRTP because I want to build strong Active Directory pentesting skills and learn real-world attack techniques. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!
