Timelapse is an Easy Windows that starts with accessing the SMB share. In SMB shares there is a zip file. We crack the zip file using John. The ZIP files contain the encrypted PFX file. Again using John we crack the password. From the PFX file, we extract the SSL certificate and a private key, which are used to log in with Winrm. As we log in to the box we found the PowerShell history file contains the password for the user svc_deploy. The user is part of LAPS_Readers. Using it we get the Administrator password.

We got a PFX file. The PFX file is password protected however we can crack it with the john. First, we need to convert it to PFX to john format.
