5. Click on "Add" and type sa_sql.
6. Select the "sa_sql" user and click "Advanced". Then select the "sa_sql" once again and click on "Edit". Then select "Modify Owner".
7. We can quickly run BloodHound to check if the correct permissions are applied to the sa_sql user:
It is configured correctly!
Attacking
How it works
If a domain object has the WriteOwner ACL, the object can change the owner of the object. In this case the user SA_SQL can change the owner of the computerobject DATA01. Once you are "Owner" of a object, you can change the DACL of the object.
Tools
Executing the attack
Download PowerView on the kali machine and host it on a webserver:
2. Login to WS01 as Richard with the password Sample123.
3. Start PowerShell and download and execute an amsi and PowerView in memory:
4. In the page DACL-Abuses I showed you how to check for ACL's using BloodHound. We will abuse the "Write Owner" ACL sa_sql has on DATA01.
5. With PowerView we can query the current owner of the computerobject DATA01. Since we are queering data from another domain, we will have to provide a username and password for that domain. Create a credential object using the get-credential cmdlet:
Then we can use PowerView to query the domain controller from secure.local for the domain-object DATA01 and retrieve the samaccountname and Owner attribute. We will receive a SID which we need to resolve aswell;
The current owner of the computerobject DATA01 is the group Domain Admins.
6. With PowerView we can change the owner of the object using the Set-DomainObjectOwner cmdlet.
7. We didn't receive any errors, to lets use the same queries again to query the owner of the computerobject DATA01;
8. We successfully changed the owner of the computerobject from Domain Admins to sa_ql. The next step will be on the Owns section:
