## Tokens
|
|
|
|
If you **don't know what are Windows Access Tokens** read this page before continuing:
|
|
|
|
{% content-ref url="../access-tokens.md" %}
|
|
[access-tokens.md](../access-tokens.md)
|
|
{% endcontent-ref %}
|
|
|
|
**Maybe you could be able to escalate privileges abusing the tokens you already have**
|
|
|
|
### SeImpersonatePrivilege (3.1.1)
|
|
|
|
Any process holding this privilege can **impersonate** (but not create) any **token** for which it is able to gethandle. You can get a **privileged token** from a **Windows service** (DCOM) making it perform an **NTLM authentication** against the exploit, then execute a process as **SYSTEM**. Exploit it with [juicy-potato](https://github.com/ohpe/juicy-potato), [RogueWinRM ](https://github.com/antonioCoco/RogueWinRM)(needs winrm disabled), [SweetPotato](https://github.com/CCob/SweetPotato), [PrintSpoofer](https://github.com/itm4n/PrintSpoofer):
|
|
|
|
{% content-ref url="../roguepotato-and-printspoofer.md" %}
|
|
[roguepotato-and-printspoofer.md](../roguepotato-and-printspoofer.md)
|
|
{% endcontent-ref %}
|
|
|
|
{% content-ref url="../juicypotato.md" %}
|
|
[juicypotato.md](../juicypotato.md)
|
|
{% endcontent-ref %}
|
|
|
|
### SeAssignPrimaryPrivilege (3.1.2)
|
|
|
|
It is very similar to **SeImpersonatePrivilege**, it will use the **same method** to get a privileged token.\
|
|
Then, this privilege allows **to assign a primary token** to a new/suspended process. With the privileged impersonation token you can derivate a primary token (DuplicateTokenEx).\
|
|
With the token, you can create a **new process** with 'CreateProcessAsUser' or create a process suspended and **set the token** (in general, you cannot modify the primary token of a running process).
|
|
|
|
### SeTcbPrivilege (3.1.3)
|
|
|
|
If you have enabled this token you can use **KERB\_S4U\_LOGON** to get an **impersonation token** for any other user without knowing the credentials, **add an arbitrary group** (admins) to the token, set the **integrity level** of the token to "**medium**", and assign this token to the **current thread** (SetThreadToken).
|
|
|
|
### SeBackupPrivilege (3.1.4)
|
|
|
|
This privilege causes the system to **grant all read access** control to any file (only read).\
|
|
Use it to **read the password hashes of local Administrator** accounts from the registry and then use "**psexec**" or "**wmicexec**" with the hash (PTH).\
|
|
This attack won't work if the Local Administrator is disabled, or if it is configured that a Local Admin isn't admin if he is connected remotely.\
|
|
You can **abuse this privilege** with:
|
|
|
|
* [https://github.com/Hackplayers/PsCabesha-tools/blob/master/Privesc/Acl-FullControl.ps1](https://github.com/Hackplayers/PsCabesha-tools/blob/master/Privesc/Acl-FullControl.ps1)
|
|
* [https://github.com/giuliano108/SeBackupPrivilege/tree/master/SeBackupPrivilegeCmdLets/bin/Debug](https://github.com/giuliano108/SeBackupPrivilege/tree/master/SeBackupPrivilegeCmdLets/bin/Debug)
|
|
* following **IppSec** in [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfCysW0Od8w\&t=2610\&ab\_channel=IppSec](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IfCysW0Od8w\&t=2610\&ab\_channel=IppSec)
|
|
* Or as explained in the **escalating privileges with Backup Operators** section of:
|
|
|
|
{% content-ref url="../../active-directory-methodology/privileged-groups-and-token-privileges.md" %}
|
|
[privileged-groups-and-token-privileges.md](../../active-directory-methodology/privileged-groups-and-token-privileges.md)
|
|
{% endcontent-ref %}
|
|
|
|
### SeRestorePrivilege (3.1.5)
|
|
|
|
**Write access** control to any file on the system, regardless of the files ACL.\
|
|
You can **modify services**, DLL Hijacking, set **debugger** (Image File Execution Options)… A lot of options to escalate.
|
|
|
|
### SeCreateTokenPrivilege (3.1.6)
|
|
|
|
This token **can be used** as EoP method **only** if the user **can impersonate** tokens (even without SeImpersonatePrivilege).\
|
|
In a possible scenario, a user can impersonate the token if it is for the same user and the integrity level is less or equal to the current process integrity level.\
|
|
In this case, the user could **create an impersonation token** and add to it a privileged group SID.
|
|
|
|
### SeLoadDriverPrivilege (3.1.7)
|
|
|
|
**Load and unload device drivers.**\
|
|
You need to create an entry in the registry with values for ImagePath and Type.\
|
|
As you don't have access to write to HKLM, you have to **use HKCU**. But HKCU doesn't mean anything for the kernel, the way to guide the kernel here and use the expected path for a driver config is to use the path: "\Registry\User\S-1-5-21-582075628-3447520101-2530640108-1003\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\DriverName" (the ID is the **RID** of the current user).\
|
|
So, you have to **create all that path inside HKCU and set the ImagePath** (path to the binary that is going to be executed) **and Type** (SERVICE\_KERNEL\_DRIVER 0x00000001).\

[abuse-seloaddriverprivilege.md](abuse-seloaddriverprivilege.md)
|
|
{% endcontent-ref %}
|
|
|
|
### SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege (3.1.8)
|
|
|
|
This privilege is very similar to **SeRestorePrivilege**.\
|
|
It allows a process to “**take ownership of an object** without being granted discretionary access” by granting the WRITE\_OWNER access right.\
|
|
First, you have to **take ownership of the registry key** that you are going to write on and **modify the DACL** so you can write on it.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
takeown /f 'C:\some\file.txt' #Now the file is owned by you
|
|
icacls 'C:\some\file.txt' /grant <your_username>:F #Now you have full access
|
|
# Use this with files that might contain credentials such as
|
|
%WINDIR%\repair\sam
|
|
%WINDIR%\repair\system
|
|
%WINDIR%\repair\software
|
|
%WINDIR%\repair\security
|
|
%WINDIR%\system32\config\security.sav
|
|
%WINDIR%\system32\config\software.sav
|
|
%WINDIR%\system32\config\system.sav
|
|
%WINDIR%\system32\config\SecEvent.Evt
|
|
%WINDIR%\system32\config\default.sav
|
|
c:\inetpub\wwwwroot\web.config
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### SeDebugPrivilege (3.1.9)
|
|
|
|
It allows the holder to **debug another process**, this includes reading and **writing** to that **process' memory.**\
|
|
There are a lot of various **memory injection** strategies that can be used with this privilege that evade a majority of AV/HIPS solutions.
|
|
|
|
#### Dump memory
|
|
|
|
One example of **abuse of this privilege** is to run [ProcDump](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procdump) from the [SysInternals](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/sysinternals-suite) to **dump a process memory**. For example, the **Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (**[**LSASS**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local\_Security\_Authority\_Subsystem\_Service)**)** process, which stores user credentials after a user logs on to a system.
|
|
|
|
You can then load this dump in mimikatz to obtain passwords:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mimikatz.exe
|
|
mimikatz # log
|
|
mimikatz # sekurlsa::minidump lsass.dmp
|
|
mimikatz # sekurlsa::logonpasswords
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### RCE
|
|
|
|
If you want to get a `NT SYSTEM` shell you could use:
|
|
|
|
* ****[**SeDebugPrivilegePoC**](https://github.com/daem0nc0re/PrivFu/tree/main/PrivilegedOperations/SeDebugPrivilegePoC)****
|
|
* ****[**psgetsys.ps1**](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/decoder-it/psgetsystem/master/psgetsys.ps1)****
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
# Get the PID of a process running as NT SYSTEM
|
|
import-module psgetsys.ps1; [MyProcess]::CreateProcessFromParent(<system_pid>,<command_to_execute>)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Check privileges
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
whoami /priv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The **tokens that appear as Disabled** can be enable, you you actually can abuse _Enabled_ and _Disabled_ tokens.
|
|
|
|
### Enable All the tokens
|
|
|
|
You can use the script [**EnableAllTokenPrivs.ps1**](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fashionproof/EnableAllTokenPrivs/master/EnableAllTokenPrivs.ps1) to enable all the tokens:
|
|
|
|
```powershell
|
|
.\EnableAllTokenPrivs.ps1
|
|
whoami /priv
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or the **script** embed in this [**post**](https://www.leeholmes.com/adjusting-token-privileges-in-powershell/).
