AD

Info

Basic Active Directory terms

Users

Agent represented by a user account.

• Regular user accounts (used by employees or for specific task as backups)

• Computer accounts (ends with $). Computers in AD are a users subclass.

Services

• Identified by SPN which indicates the service name and class, the owner and the host computer.

• Is executed in a computer (the host of the service) as a process.

• Services (as any process) are running in the context of a user account, with the privileges and permissions of that user.

• The SPN’s of the services owned by an user are stored in the attribute ServicePrincipalName of that account.

• Usually Domain Admin or similar role is required to modify the SPN’s of a user.

LLMNR Poisoning

# Previously NBT-NS

SMB Relay Attack

# SMB signing must be disabled on the target to work
# User who's credentials are being relayed should be an admin on both the machines

# Discover host with SMB signing disabled
nmap --script=smb2-security-mode.nse -p445 192.168.1.0/24
