MS SQL

For connection to database I used impacket-mssql script

Current user can't execute xp_cmdshell - this allows running shell commands on database server directly through database.

But there is permission for xp_dirtree command and this can be used to steal NTLM hash of user that is running database server.

This should be also possible with xp_fileexist but I had no luck with that function.

Stealing NTLM hash

Setting up Responder

Responder is software that talk with most of the protocols it is focused on stealing hashes and credentials.

Getting hash

I used hashcat to crack this password

SQL_SVC::sequel:165adba2f72196b4:234852d74a0d58c260ce5577acc6f438:0101000000000000805e00a0eb96d90171dc1bd568df768700000000020008004b0048005800560001001e00570049004e002d004e0043004d003100340056005100330051004400340004003400570049004e002d004e0043004d00310034005600510033005100440034002e004b004800580056002e004c004f00430041004c00030014004b004800580056002e004c004f00430041004c00050014004b004800580056002e004c004f00430041004c0007000800805e00a0eb96d901060004000200000008003000300000000000000000000000003000002cb0bb94a9e9e7bd19c707d616a61d3873bc5dfaf1edda63c326f7b581e0d7180a001000000000000000000000000000000000000900220063006900660073002f00310030002e00310030002e00310034002e003100300039000000000000000000:REGGIE1234ronnie

So password for sql_svc account is REGGIE1234ronnie

Foothold

Acquired credentials have permissions to conect via remote access.

Enumeration

I have run winpeas but there is nothing special in there. So next step was manual enumeration.

As there was nothing in home direcotry of sql_svc user and SQLServer is only one non-default directory (because of running MS SQL server) I started looking around. Only semi-interesting file is ERRORLOG.BAK Located at C:\SQLServer\Logs

In there is password for user ryan.cooper

Log states Logon failed for user 'sequel.htb\Ryan.Cooper'. Reason: Password did not match that for the login provided. [CLIENT: 127.0.0.1]

Next entry is Logon failed for user 'NuclearMosquito3'. Reason: Password did not match that for the login provided. [CLIENT: 127.0.0.1]

NuclearMosquito3 looks like a password so this is propably a typo from user side and he type password in username field.

This was indeed password for ryan.cooper user and this allowed for login in his account

Privilege Escalation

I have ran winpeas again but no luck there. Additionaly I gathered information about domain with Sharphound to analyze permissions and connections in Bloodhound but again no luck.

But there is this trend in windows enviroment that switch for certificate authorization. There are many things that can go wrong e.g. certificate template with too wide permissions.

To certificate be vulnerable some specyfic flags need to be set:

msPKI-Certificate-Name-Flag set to ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT this means that user requesting certificate can specify subject - effectively a user that will be authenticated
Access Rights needs to Allows Enroll to NT AUTHORITY\Authenticated Users this means any logged in user can request certificate
pkiextendedkeyusage needs to have set Client Authentication to allows impersonating another user

Vulnerable Certificate Template

For detecting any vulnerable certificate template there is handy tool Certify

[*] Convert with: openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pem -keyex -CSP "Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0" -export -out cert.pfx

After converting certificate in PEM to right format with openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pem -keyex -CSP "Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0" -export -out cert.pfx as suggested in Certify output it need to be transfered back to windows box.

I did it by setting up python web server python -m http.server and downloading it on windows box IWR http://10.10.14.109:8000/cert.pfx -Outfile cert.pfx

With certificate on the disk next we need Rubeus to interact with Kerberos and request ticket for Administrator account using generated certificate.
