How it went

  1. 0
    nmap

    An nmap scan shows FTP, Telnet, and a web server.

  2. 1
    backup.mdb

    Anonymous FTP exports backup.mdb, which reveals credentials and confirms an engineer account.

  3. 2
    Outlook mail

    The .mdb password unlocks the Access Control archive, whose Outlook folder holds security's credentials; Telnet in for the user flag.

  4. 3
    runas

    Saved Administrator credentials in the Credential Manager feed runas /savecred for a shell as Administrator.
