All protected by Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), SIEM solutions, Windows Defender Application Control (WDAC), and common enterprise software.https://wearethebug.dev/posts/vl-ifrit/Sun, 15 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://wearethebug.dev/posts/vl-ifrit/Ifrit is an Assumed-Breach scenario with the main objective is getting domain administrator privileges in the ifrit.vl Domain. It designed for those with foundational AD and pentesting knowledge to hone covert red teaming skills. Players aim for Domain Admin while evading real-time detections, practicing AD enumeration, exploitation, certificate services, lateral movement, EDR bypass, and relay attacks across multiple forests.https://wearethebug.dev/posts/vl-klendathu/Fri, 24 May 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://wearethebug.dev/posts/vl-klendathu/Klendathu is an Insane difficulty chain hosted on Vulnlab, involved coercion with an undocumented function/procedure on MSSQL, forging a silver ticket, spoofing domain users on linux with GSSAPI authentication, and decrypting RDCMan credentials with domain backup keys.https://wearethebug.dev/posts/vl-breach/Tue, 14 Feb 2023 00:00:00 +0000https://wearethebug.dev/posts/vl-breach/Breach is a medium difficulty Windows machine, where guest access to an SMB share is available. By leveraging write permissions on that SMB share, NTLMv2 hashes of a domain user are captured to obtain valid credentials. With access as a low-privileged domain user, a kerberoastable service account (svc_mssql) is revealed. After getting access to the service account, a Silver Ticket attack is performed to impersonate the `Administrator` user and gain access to Microsoft SQL Server. Through the xp_cmdshell feature, remote code execution is achieved as the svc_mssql service account. Finally, privilege escalation is performed by abusing the SeImpersonatePrivilege privilege.https://wearethebug.dev/posts/vl-job/Sat, 27 Nov 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://wearethebug.dev/posts/vl-job/Job is a Medium-rated Windows box. It runs an SMTP server and its website accepts LibreOffice-compatible documents, providing a vector to deliver a document with embedded macros that leads to remote code execution as user jack.black. jack.black is a member of the DEVELOPERS group, which has write access to the IIS web root, allowing files to be placed in the webroot and achieve code execution as the IIS AppPool service account. The IIS AppPool account has the SeImpersonate privilege, creating conditions that allow token-impersonation techniques to be used to escalate privileges to Administrator.
