Detection:

windows security log events (event id 4670) are created when DACLs are modified. 

 

 

Inheritance rights are represented by the following abbreviations:

OI object inherit 

CI container inherit

IO inherit only

NP do not propagate inherit

NTFS permissions are represented by one of the following forms:

N no access

F full access

M modify access

R read only access

RX read and execute access

W write access

D delete access


attacker can interact with the DACLs using built-in windows commands such as, icacls, cacls, takedown, attrib which allow adversaries higher permissions on

 

icacls <file_name> /reset        replace acls with default inherited acls. (reset permission)

You can use administrators or Administrators. Both will give you same result. To see who are the members of a particular group (domain machine): net group "domain admins" Create a local user: net user localuser1 MyP@ssw0rd /add Create a domain user: net user domainuser1 MyP@ssw0rd /add /domain Add the local user to local admin group: net localgroup Administrators localuser1 /add Add the user to domain admin group: net group "Domain Admins" domainuser1 /add /domain Avi
