From the nmap results we have port 88 which is kerberos and whenever we see this service running on a windows machine it means that's a Domain Controller
so we are looking at Active Directory
here and we also have the domain name as well which is dc01.timelapse.htb
so let's add this in our /etc/hosts
file
PORT 389 (LDAP)
Checking for null authentication on LDAP as it can sometimes give us the usernames but it failed
PORT 139/445 (SMB)
Having smb service running, we can check what shares this machine has using smbclient
Checking the Shares
we have two folders here
In Dev
folder we have winrm_backup.zip
so let's download that
And in HelpDesk
we have 3 document files regarding LAPS
and an installer file for LAPS
LAPS here is Local Administrator Password Solution which randomizes administrator's password in the ad domain so that the administrator account's password isn't the same across the domain
The document files were related to installing LAPS on the DC so it was just about the documentation
When unzipping the archive from smb share it was asking for a password
So using fcrackzip
we can brutefroce the password for this zip archive
fcrackzip -u -D -p /opt/SecLists/Passwords/rockyou.txt ./winrm_backup.zip
Here the parameters are:
- -u, It will try to decompress the first file by calling unzip with the guessed password
- -D, This will use dictionary mode, fcrackzip will read passwords from a file which must contain one password per line
- -p, this is for specifying either a string or the wordlist
Foothold
After unzipping the archive we'll get a pfx (legacyy_dev_auth.pfx
) file and it's a SSL certificate that contains both public and private keys which can be used for authentication that is protected by a password
I tried to read the certifiate with openssl
and provided the same password that we got for the archive but it failed
We can try to crack the password hash for this pfx file by running pfx2john
to get the hash then running johntheripper
to crack it
And now we should be able to read the certificate
Reading the certificate we can see a user name Legacyy
, this can be verified if it's actually a username on the machine by running kebrute
to see if the user exists
Since port 5986 is open which is WinRM over SSL and we need to use a certificate to authenticate to winrm, evill-winrm
doesn't have the option to use pfx certificate so I though maybe we need to extract the public and private key certificate from pfx as it does have option to specify them
And doing this, it worked
In C:\Users
we see user svc_deploy
and TRX
Privilege Escalation (svc_deploy)
As this is a AD box, we can try running bloodhound to enumerate the domain for potential paths for privilege escalation and other misconfigurations in the domain
But after uploading it and importing, it was blocked by AV, I tried it through IEX
as well but it still didn't worked
Downloading sharphound.exe from here https://github.com/BloodHoundAD/SharpHound and running it worked
But when I uploaded the archive on bloodhound GUI it wasn't able to parse the files, so moving on I tried looking into the powershell history file and found the credentials for svc_deploy user
more .\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PSReadline\ConsoleHost_history.txt
So using the same commands for making a PSCredential object we can execute commands as svc_deploy
Checking in which groups this user belongs to and, this is a member of LAPS_Reader group
Privilege Escalation (Administrator)
I tried looking into ways to read LAPS password and since we can't import scripts I tried running sharplaps.exe but it was caught by AV
https://github.com/swisskyrepo/SharpLAPS/
So then I went through this article explaining how we can read LAPS password and it showed it through crackmapexec
https://www.hackingarticles.in/credential-dumpinglaps/
One thing to note that crackmapexec requires lsassy
a python library in order to use cme's modules which wasn't on my distro so I had to install it
And after this the module for LASP worked and we got the password
cme ldap 10.10.11.152 -u 'svc_deploy' -p 'E3R$Q62^12p7PLlC%KWaxuaV' -M laps
Alternatively we can get the clear text password through AD-Module
which already comes installed with LAPS, we can check if it's available through Get-Module -Name ActiveDirectory -ListAvailable
and then import it with Import-Module -Name ActiveDirectory
I came across this post in configuring LAPS
https://adsecurity.org/?p=3164
So checking in which attribute we can find the clear text LAPS password
Get-ADComputer -Identity "dc01" -Properties "ms-mcs-AdmPwd"
Being an administrator on domain controller we can then dump hashes from NTDS.dit file
