A fictional but technically grounded narrative walkthrough of a multi-stage attack chain targeting a Web3/Web2 hybrid infrastructure. Starting from an AWS EC2 Oracle node compromised via a Python pickle payload delivered through a smart contract, the attacker harvests IAM credentials via the IMDS endpoint, pivots into the corporate Windows network via Transit Gateway, uses BloodHound to map Active Directory, performs Kerberoasting with Impacket to crack a service account password, and executes a DCSync attack to dump all NTLM hashes and achieve Domain Admin. The story ends at the doorstep of an OT/SCADA jump box, teasing a Part 3.
