This is a tool I whipped up together quickly to DCSync utilizing ESC1. It is quite slow but otherwise an effective means of performing a makeshift DCSync attack without utilizing DRSUAPI or Volume Shadow Copy.
This is the first version of the tool and essentially just automates the process of running Certipy against every user in a domain. It still needs a lot of work and I plan on adding more features in the future for authentication methods and automating the process of finding a vulnerable template.

ADCSync uses the ESC1 exploit to dump NTLM hashes from user accounts in an Active Directory environment. The tool will first grab every user and domain in the Bloodhound dump file passed in. Then it will use Certipy to make a request for each user and store their PFX file in the certificate directory. Finally, it will use Certipy to authenticate with the certificate and retrieve the NT hash for each user. This process is quite slow and can take a while to complete but offers an alternative way to dump NTLM hashes.

Arsenal is just a quick inventory, reminder and launcher for pentest commands.
This project written by pentesters for pentesters simplify the use of all the hard-to-remember commands
In arsenal you can search for a command, select one and it's prefilled directly in your terminal. This functionality is independent of the shell used. Indeed arsenal emulates real user input (with TTY arguments and IOCTL) so arsenal works with all shells and your commands will be in the history.
You have to enter arguments if needed, but arsenal supports global variables.
For example, during a pentest we can set the variable ip
to prefill all commands using an ip with the right one.
To do that you just have to enter the following command in arsenal:
>set ip=10.10.10.10
Authors:
This project is inspired by navi (https://github.com/denisidoro/navi) because the original version was in bash and too hard to understand to add features

Escalate Service Account To LocalSystem via Kerberos.
Friends familiar with the "Potato" series of privilege escalation should know that it can elevate service account privileges to local system privileges. The early exploitation techniques of "Potato" are almost identical: leveraging certain features of COM interfaces, deceiving the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account to connect and authenticate to an attacker-controlled RPC server. Then, through a series of API calls, an intermediary (NTLM Relay) attack is executed during this authentication process, resulting in the generation of an access token for the NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM account on the local system. Finally, this token is stolen, and the CreatePr ocessWithToken()
or CreateProcessAsUser()
function is used to pass the token and create a new process to obtain SYSTEM privileges.
In any scenario where a machine is joined to a domain, you can leverage the aforementioned techniques for local privilege escalation as long as you can run code under the context of a Windows service account or a Microsoft virtual account, provided that the Active Directory hasn't been hardened to fully defend against such attacks.
In a Windows domain environment, SYSTEM, NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE, and Microsoft virtual accounts are used for authentication by system computer accounts that are joined to the domain. Understanding this is crucial because in modern versions of Windows, most Windows services run by default using Microsoft virtual accounts. Notably, IIS and MSSQL use these virtual accounts, and I believe other applications might also employ them. Therefore, we can abuse the S4U extension to obtain the service ticket for the domain administrator account "Administrator" on the local machine. Then, with the help of James Forshaw (@tiraniddo)'s SCMUACBypass, we can use that ticket to create a system service and ga in SYSTEM privileges. This achieves the same effect as traditional methods used in the "Potato" family of privilege escalation techniques.
Before this, we need to obtain a TGT (Ticket Granting Ticket) for the local machine account. This is not easy because of the restrictions imposed by service account permissions, preventing us from obtaining the computer's Long-term Key and thus being unable to construct a KRB_AS_REQ request. To accomplish the aforementioned goal, I leveraged three techniques: Resource-based Constrained Delegation, Shadow Credentials, and Tgtdeleg. I built my project based on the Rubeus toolset.

A tool to spray Shadow Credentials across an entire domain in hopes of abusing long forgotten GenericWrite/GenericAll DACLs over other objects in the domain.
In a lot of engagements I see (in BloodHound) that the group "Everyone" / "Authenticated Users" / "Domain Users" or some other wide group, which contains almost all the users in the domain, has some GenericWrite/GenericAll DACLs over other objects in the domain.
These rights can be abused to add Shadow Credentials on the target object and obtain it's TGT and NT Hash.
It occurred to me that we can just try and spray shadow credentials over the entire domain and see what's sticks (obviously this approach is better suited to non-stealth engagements, don't use this in a red team where stealth is required). When a Shadow Credentials is successfuly added, we simply do the whole PKINIT + UnPACTheHash dance and voilΓ - we get NT Hashes.
Since the process is extremely fast, this can be used at the very start of the engagement, and hopefully you'll have some users and computers owned before you even start.
Note: I recycled a lot of code from my previous tool so AV/EDRs might flag this as KrbRelayUp...
It goes something like this:
ShadowSpray supports CTRL+C so if at any point you wish to stop the execution just hit CTRL+C and ShadowSpray will display the NT Hashes recovered so far before exiting (as shown in the demo below).

Taken from Elad Shamir's blog post on Shadow Credentials:
If PKINIT authentication is not common in the environment or not common for the target account, the βKerberos authentication ticket (TGT) was requestedβ event (4768) can indicate anomalous behavior when the Certificate Information attributes are not blank.
If a SACL is configured to audit Active Directory object modifications for the targeted account, the βDirectory service object was modifiedβ event (5136) can indicate anomalous behavior if the subject changing the msDS-KeyCredentialLink is not the Azure AD Connect synchronization account or the ADFS service account, which will typically act as the Key Provisioning Server and legitimately modify this attribute for users.
A more specific preventive control is adding an Access Control Entry (ACE) to DENY the principal EVERYONE from modifying the attribute msDS-KeyCredentialLink for any account not meant to be enrolled in Key Trust passwordless authentication, and particularly privileged accounts.
