OffSec Proving Grounds Symbolic — Symlink to Admin SSH
In this Art of Vector walkthrough, we take OffSec Proving Grounds Symbolic from a two-port Windows web host to Administrator over SSH by recovering a leaked private key from a generated PDF, then chaining an Object Manager symbolic link with James Forshaw's CreateSymlink.exe to steal the administrator's id_rsa. We also note SeTcbPrivilege and the textbook tcb.exe path — documented for context, but not what worked in this run.
