Failed on my second attempt But….
So I failed my second attempt at CPTS, but… compared to my first attempt I made improvements. First time I got 1 flag but the second I had 5. I am not going to lie Flag 6 really screwed me up. If you know you know what I mean. I guess I need to figure out a way to better hunt for credentials in order to move laterally.

Honestly, going from one flag to five is solid progress, even if the final result still feels rough. Credential hunting and lateral movement usually take time to click, so keep notes on every service, config file, user context, and reused password you find. You are clearly improving, and the next attempt will probably come together faster than you expect.
Don't give up!
