## Enumeration

### Nmap scan

I started my enumeration with an nmap scan of `10.10.10.179`. The options I regularly use are: `-p-`, which is a shortcut which tells nmap to scan all ports, `-sC` is the equivalent to `--script=default` and runs a collection of nmap enumeration scripts against the target, `-sV` does a service scan, and `-oN <name>` saves the output with a filename of `<name>`.

At first my scan wouldn't go through until I added the `-Pn` flag to stop nmap from sending ICMP probes. After that it proceeded normally.

```

Just because the usernames I got were in the database does not mean they can login to this machine. Maybe need to enumerate users from the the domain in another way since ldap and rpc were not helpful [https://kalilinuxtutorials.com/mssql-injection](https://kalilinuxtutorials.com/mssql-injection) [https://github.com/Keramas/mssqli-duet](https://github.com/Keramas/mssqli-duet) [https://blog.netspi.com/hacking-sql-server-procedures-part-4-enumerating-domain-accounts/](https://blog.netspi.com/hacking-sql-server-procedures-part-4-enumerating-domain-accounts/)

> An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Visual Studio Code when it exposes a debug listener to users of a local computer. A local attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could inject arbitrary code to run in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. To exploit this vulnerability, a local attacker would need to determine which port Visual Studio Code is listening on for a targeted user.

> Exploitation There are two main limitations to the exploitability, that are: 1. the debug port binds to 127.0.0.1 2. a random TCP port is used every execution
>
> Due to these limitations, the issue cannot be remotely exploited. If instead a fixed TCP port was used, the issue could have been exploited via the browser using a DNS Rebinding attack to bypass the Same Origin Policy. To be able to execute arbitary JavaScript code, we need first to retrieve the WebSocket link using a HTTP GET request to /json URL and then connect to it using the WebSocket protocol.

I found a password for yet again another user: this time `sbauer`. Accordeing to my searches with Bloodhoud earlier, `jorden` should be next, then `Administrator`. we will see if my projected path from this user was correct.

> GenericWrite Generic Write access grants you the ability to **write to any non-protected attribute on the target object**, including “members” for a group, and “**serviceprincipalnames**” for a user Abuse Info Users With GenericWrite over a user, **perform a targeted kerberoasting attack**. See the abuse section under the GenericAll edge for more information

The following video explains how to exploit this: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8thoG7gPd0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8thoG7gPd0)

[http://www.harmj0y.net/blog/activedirectory/targeted-kerberoasting/](http://www.harmj0y.net/blog/activedirectory/targeted-kerberoasting/)

> we can change a victim’s userAccountControl to not require Kerberos preauthentication, grab the user’s crackable AS-REP, and then change the setting back:

[https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/addsadministration/set-adaccountcontrol?view=win10-ps](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/addsadministration/set-adaccountcontrol?view=win10-ps)

Set-ADAccountControl -DoesNotRequirePreAuth&#x20;

> -DoesNotRequirePreAuth Indicates whether Kerberos pre-authentication is required to logon using the user or computer account. This parameter sets the ADS\_UF\_DONT\_REQUIRE\_PREAUTH flag of the Active Directory UAC attribute. The acceptable values for this parameter are:
>
> * $False or 0
> * $True or 1

Then we can use Impacket's GETSPNUSers.py

USER CLAIMS INFORMATION
-----------------------

User claims unknown.

Kerberos support for Dynamic Access Control on this device has been disabled.
```

This user has backup and restore privileges, which if I remember correctly is a quick and easy path to escalate privileges "This privilege causes the system to grant all read access control to any file (only read)."

> If you have SeBackup& SeRestoreprivileges(Backup Operators group) you can set permissio nand ownership on each file & folder =WIN!

### Getting Administrator Shell

So now I have successfully exfiltrated the secret documents...but I want to own the system. Time to practice some more privilege escalation.

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\jorden\Documents> $aclrule = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.FileSystemAccessRule $aclperms
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\jorden\Documents> $acl.AddAccessRule($aclrule)

I'm sure there is a way I can backup ntds.dit From [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/identity-protection/access-control/security-identifiers](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/identity-protection/access-control/security-identifiers): But it seems like I need an admin prompt for this to work

Upload nc.exe, then start the service with `sc.exe start <service>`.

I had to try many services until I found one that would work. Even then, it said it failed to start the service, but I got my shell!
