πŸ”΄ Password Spraying Attack: Silent Credential Killer

πŸ”₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles

Attackers don’t guess many passwords… they guess one password on MANY accounts ⚠️

⚑️ Attack Highlights
πŸ” Collect usernames (AD, email, OSINT)
πŸ”‘ Use common passwords (Password@1, Welcome123)
🌐 Spray across multiple accounts
⏳ Avoid lockout by low & slow attempts
πŸš€ Gain valid creds β†’ initial access

πŸ’‘ Password spraying uses one weak password across many accounts to bypass lockout policies and stay stealthy ()

⚑️ Useful Google Search Operators

πŸ”Ž site:example.com
🌐 inurl:admin
πŸ“„ filetype:pdf
🧠 intitle:"index of"
πŸ“‘ intext:"password"

AddSelf Active Directory Abuse

πŸ”₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles

The AddSelf permission in Active Directory allows a user to add themselves to a security group. If this permission is misconfigured on privileged groups like Domain Admins or Backup Operators, attackers can escalate privileges and gain administrative access.

⚑️ Key Concepts
πŸ‘€ AddSelf Permission Abuse – Users can add themselves to target groups
⬆️ Privilege Escalation – Gain privileges of groups like Domain Admins
🧠 BloodHound Discovery – Identify weak ACL permissions in AD
πŸ›  Account Manipulation – Add attacker-controlled accounts to privileged groups
πŸ” Post-Exploitation – Dump NTLM hashes using tools like Impacket

Once added to a privileged group, attackers can perform lateral movement, credential dumping, and potentially achieve full domain compromise.

πŸ”΄ Active Directory Abuse: AllExtendedRights

πŸ”₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles

AllExtendedRights = hidden privilege escalation path ⚠️

⚑️ Attack Highlights
πŸ” Identify permission via BloodHound / PowerView
πŸ” Reset user passwords without knowing current creds
πŸ‘₯ Take over user accounts instantly
🎟 Abuse delegation (RBCD) on computer objects
πŸš€ Perform DCSync β†’ dump domain credentials

πŸ’‘ AllExtendedRights allows attackers to reset passwords, abuse delegation, and even replicate directory data using DCSync if applied at domain level ()

⚠️ Silent ACL misconfig = full domain compromise

ForceChangePassword Active Directory Abuse

πŸ”₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles

The ForceChangePassword permission in Active Directory allows a user to reset another user’s password without knowing the current one. If misconfigured on privileged accounts, attackers can take over those accounts and gain unauthorized access.

⚑️ Key Points
πŸ” Ability to reset another user’s password without the old password
πŸ‘€ Can lead to account takeover of target users
🧠 Often discovered using BloodHound or AD enumeration tools
⬆️ May result in privilege escalation or lateral movement

πŸ”΄ Linux Privilege Escalation Using SUID Binaries

πŸ”₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles

One misconfigured SUID binary = instant root access ⚠️

⚑️ Attack Highlights
πŸ” Enumerate SUID binaries (find / -perm -4000)
πŸ›  Abuse vulnerable binaries (vim, find, bash, nano)
πŸ” Execute commands with elevated privileges
πŸ“‚ Read restricted files & modify system configs
πŸš€ Escalate from low user β†’ root access

πŸ’‘ SUID allows binaries to run with owner privileges, and dangerous misconfigurations can let attackers execute commands as root

⚠️ A single unsafe SUID binary can fully compromise the Linux system

πŸ”΄ Active Directory Exploitation with Metasploit

πŸ”₯ Telegram: https://t.me/hackinarticles
✴️ Twitter: https://x.com/hackinarticles

Metasploit isn’t just for exploits… it can control entire AD environments ⚠️

⚑️ Attack Highlights
πŸ” Scan & identify SMB services (port 445)
πŸ’» Gain access using psexec module
🧠 Get Meterpreter session on target
πŸ“Š Enumerate AD users, groups & computers
πŸ“‚ Discover shares & sensitive data
πŸ‘₯ Add / remove domain users
πŸš€ Move toward domain dominance

πŸ’‘ Metasploit allows execution of payloads on remote systems using valid creds or hashes, enabling deep AD post-exploitation ()

⚠️ One compromised admin account = full AD control
