I am 20% complete with my ECSA pen testing challenge. At this point I have broken in and identified all internal company IP addresses, host names, OS(es), and open ports. This was not an easy network. What a huge relief.

You say it wasn't easy - The fact that it's been what a week, and you're already in - It definitely wasn't hard.
Can we ask what your method to gaining access was?

Getting in is just the beginning, but no I am not allowed to disclose anything. It was a struggle I can tell you that. There were many decoys on the network and minimal services running. This network was very difficult because there a decoys and completely unknown subnets. I had to do class B scans to find IPs which was insane.
Also I do not have any server credentials yet, no AD access, no file level access, etc. It is still a very long road.

how many hours into the hack would you say you have so far?

A week is forever in processor time. This was certainly not "easy" to get into if that is the case.

At least 20 and that doesn't include the time I've let tools run.

That's awesome!

That's a lot of work, but you'll get there. Moderate steps every day.

It could have easily took 30 days to do the pen test. I just put in all day and some evenings into it. When you have a timer against you, you want to make sure your back isn't against the wall.
