7MS #739: Tales of Pentest Pwnage – Part 89
Hey friends! Today is a tale of pentest pwnage episode, and this one features a path to escalation I have never seen before – one I could only find few references on the entire Internet. It happened completely by accident, but during the report readout I’m absolutely going to say it was intentional and that I totally meant to do that. Here’s what we cover: A client that’s actually doing the things – year two or three of testing this environment, and they had buttoned up so much that I had to dig deep. Great for them, freaking frustrating for me. Why my Kerberoasting success rate has fallen off a cliff – Microsoft pushed an encryption change earlier this year, and cracking those hashes is a whole different ballgame now. Selective poisoning vs. poison-all-the-things – a nod to Pretender, which I covered in a TuesdayTOOLSday video over at 7MinSec.club. It doesn’t get nearly enough love in blogs and videos. The relay that fired… and did something completely different than I expected – I saw the ntlmrelayx log scroll by, thought “yes, I’ve got DA,” and then had a “wait, wait, whoa, what?” moment. I was honestly a little panicked. An ancient Exchange vulnerability comes back to bite – CVE-2021-34470 (vulnerable Exchange schema) turned out to be the fallback that got me a foothold I had no business having. My favorite evil privesc trick, revisited – queuing up a scheduled task that runs under an interactively logged-in DA’s context without ever knowing their password. The MDR alerts that come out of this are equal parts hilarious and terrifying. A bonus thing to always look for – scheduled tasks running under saved DA creds that point at a script you can edit. Add one little line to fire an evil command of your choice, and you’re in like a dirty shirt.
