[Task 2] Impacket Installation

Introduction

So you’re likely here if you’ve had issues with Impacket. Impacket is moderately frustrating to say the least… A

TryHackMe-Attacktive-Directory - aldeid https://www.aldeid.com/wiki/TryHackMe-Attacktive-Directory

lot of people have issues with it, so let’s walk through the Impacket install process!

Installing Impacket

First, you’ll want to clone the repo with:

git clone https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket.git /opt/impacket

This will clone Impacket to /opt/impacket/, after the repo is cloned, you will notice several install related files,
requirements.txt, and setup.py. setup.py is commonly skipped during the installation. It’s key that you DO
NOT miss it.

So let’s install the requirements:

pip3 install -r /opt/impacket/requirements.txt

Once all the python modules are installed, we can then run the python setup install script:

cd /opt/impacket/ && python3 ./setup.py install

After that, Impacket should be correctly installed now and it should be ready to use!

[Task 3] Enumerate the DC

Initial note

Flags for each user account are available for submission. You can retrieve the flags for user accounts via RDP
(Note: the login format is spookysec.local/User at the Window’s login prompt) and Administrator via Evil-
WinRM.

Basic enumeration tactics will yield a number of ports open. Using a popular enumeration tool that’s built on
Linux 4 Windows will reveal some information, not a lot to work with however.

#3.1 - How many ports are open under 10,000? (Note it may
take up to 5 minutes for all the services to start)
Hint: If Windows is being Windows, there should be 11 ports open.

[Task 4] Enumerate the DC Pt 2

Introduction

A whole host of other services are running, including Kerberos. Kerberos is a key authentication service within
Active Directory. With this port open, we can use a tool called Kerbrute (https://github.com/ropnop/kerbrute/r
eleases) (by Ronnie Flathers @ropnop) to brute force discovery of users, passwords and even password spray!

Enumeration

For this box, a modified User List (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sq00ky/attacktive-directory-tools/mast

er/userlist.txt) and Password List (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sq00ky/attacktive-directory-tools/mast
er/passwordlist.txt) will be used to cut down on time of enumeration of users and password hash cracking. It is
NOT recommended to brute force credentials due to account lockout policies that we cannot enumerate on the
domain controller.

[Task 5] Exploiting Kerberos

Introduction

After the enumeration of user accounts is finished, we can attempt to abuse a feature within Kerberos with an
attack method called ASREPRoasting. ASReproasting occurs when a user account has the privilege “Does not
require Pre-Authentication” set. This means that the account does not need to provide valid identification before
requesting a Kerberos Ticket on the specified user account.

Exploitation

Impacket (https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket) has a tool called GetNPUsers.py (located in

Impacket/Examples/GetNPUsers.py) that will allow us to query ASReproastable accounts from the Key
Distribution Center. The only thing that’s necessary to query accounts is a valid set of usernames which we
enumerated previously via Kerbrute.

#5.1 - We have two user accounts that we could potentially query

a ticket from. Which user account can you query a ticket from
with no password?
Kerberos pre-authentication has been disabled for svc-admin:

Enumeration

With a user’s account credentials we now have significantly more access within the domain. We can now attempt
to enumerate any shares that the domain controller may be giving out.

#6.1 - Using utility can we map remote SMB shares?

Hint: man smbclient will tell you a little bit about the tool!

Using smbclient with the , we are able to list remote shares:

$ smbclient -U spookysec.local/svc-admin -L //10.10.104.142

Enter SPOOKYSEC.LOCAL\svc-admin's password:

Sharename Type Comment

ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin

C$ Disk Default share

#6.2 - Which option will list shares?

Hint: man smbclient will tell you a little bit about the tool!

#6.3 - How many remote shares is the server listing?

Answer: 6

#6.4 - There is one particular share that we have access to that

contains a text file. Which share is it?
Let’s connect to the backup share and list the files:

Hint: The encoded contents of the file

The text file contains base64 encoded credentials:

#6.6 - Decoding the contents of the file, what is the full

[Task 7] Elevating Privileges

Introduction

Now that we have new user account credentials, we may have more privileges on the system than before. The
username of the account “backup” gets us thinking. What is this the backup account to?

Well, it is the backup account for the Domain Controller. This account has a unique permission that allows all
Active Directory changes to be synced with this user account. This includes password hashes

Knowing this, we can use another tool within Impacket called secretsdump.py. This will allow us to retrieve all

7 sur 10 01/06/2023, 13:25

TryHackMe-Attacktive-Directory - aldeid https://www.aldeid.com/wiki/TryHackMe-Attacktive-Directory

of the password hashes that this user account (that is synced with the domain controller) has to offer. Exploiting
this, we will effectively have full control over the AD Domain.

#7.1 - What method allowed us to dump NTDS.DIT?

Hint: Read the secretsdump output!

Answer: DRSUAPI

#7.2 - What is the Administrators NTLM hash?

Here is the extract regarding the administrator account:

Administrator:500:aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:e4876a80a723612986d7609aa5ebc12b:::

The NTLM hash is e4876a80a723612986d7609aa5ebc12b

#7.3 - What method of attack could allow us to authenticate as

the user without the password?
Answer: pass the hash

#7.4 - Using a tool called Evil-WinRM what option will allow us

to use a hash?
Hint: if Evil-WinRM is not installed, you can do so by issuing gem install evil-winrm

We can pass the administrator’s password NTLM hash directly to evil-winrm to login without knowing the
password.

$ evil-winrm -i 10.10.104.142 -u administrator -H e4876a80a723612986d7609aa5ebc12b

Evil-WinRM shell v2.3
