Attacking

How it works

With the ability to modify the DACL on the target object, you can grant yourself almost any privilege against the object you wish. Basically giving yourself Genericall over the object.

In the lab we will only give a user DCSync privileges to the domain object. But it is possible to give almost all privileges to the object you have the rights too and then abuse these privileges like described in the GenericAll page.

Tools

Executing the attack

The attack is executed from the perspective of already having high privileged access to the DATA01 server in the secure.local domain and having control of an user.

  1. Login to DATA01 with the username bank\secure_admin and the password rFKbUJrDu$sz*36ffKr6.

  2. In the page DACL-Abuses I showed you how to check for ACL's using BloodHound. In this attack we will abuse the ACL Data01 has on the domain object:

3. Open PowerShell as an Administrator and download an amsi, MimiKatz and PowerView into memory.

4. We are currently running in the context of the secure_admin user, but we need to run in the context of the DATA01 computeraccount, we can do this by getting system. Execute the following MimiKatz command to do just that:

Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"privilege::debug" "token::elevate"'

5. Now we can give secure_admin DCSync privileges on the secure.local domain object using the Add-DomainObjectAcl cmdlet from PowerView: 

Add-DomainObjectAcl -TargetIdentity 'DC=secure,DC=local' -PrincipalIdentity 'secure_admin' -PrincipalDomain bank.local -Rights DCSync -Verbose

7. We can quickly run BloodHound to check if the correct permissions are applied to the secure_admin user:

8. The next steps of the attack to execute DCSync is described on the following page:
