Attacking

How it works

Check for MSSQL servers inside the domain and try to login using the credentials from the current user or from another user. Sometimes all Domain Users have access to the database and its even possible that everyone is sysadmin on the database.

Tools

Executing the attack

PowerUpSQL

Download PowerUpSQL on the kali machine and host it on a webserver:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NetSPI/PowerUpSQL/master/PowerUpSQL.ps1
python3 -m http.server 8090

2. Login to WS01 as Richard with the password Sample123.

3. Start PowerShell and download and execute an amsi and PowerUpSQL in memory:

4. Get the SQL instances from the domain:

Get-SQLInstanceDomain

The output shows one SQL Instance.

5. Get the SQL instances from the domain and check access:

Get-SQLInstanceDomain | Get-SQLConnectionTestThreaded

The output shows that we can access the MSSQL instance WEB01.amsterdam.bank.local.

If ran from a user that doesn't have access (for example John), it says not accessible.

6. To get more info about the session on the SQL server run:

Get-SQLServerInfo -Instance WEB01.amsterdam.bank.local

It shows that we aren't sysadmin. Which means we can't execute commands on the database, but our user has access to the database. So we can look into the database for sensitive information or we might be able to escalate our privileges to sysadmin.
