PySQLRecon is a Python port of the awesome SQLRecon project by @sanjivkawa. See the commands section for a list of capabilities.
PySQLRecon can be installed with pip3 install pysqlrecon
or by cloning this repository and running pip3 install .
All of the main modules from SQLRecon have equivalent commands. Commands noted with [PRIV]
require elevated privileges or sysadmin rights to run. Alternatively, commands marked with [NORM]
can likely be run by normal users and do not require elevated privileges.
Support for impersonation ([I]
) or execution on linked servers ([L]
) are denoted at the end of the command description.
adsi [PRIV] Obtain ADSI creds from ADSI linked server [I,L]
agentcmd [PRIV] Execute a system command using agent jobs [I,L]
agentstatus [PRIV] Enumerate SQL agent status and jobs [I,L]
checkrpc [NORM] Enumerate RPC status of linked servers [I,L]
clr [PRIV] Load and execute .NET assembly in a stored procedure [I,L]
columns [NORM] Enumerate columns within a table [I,L]
databases [NORM] Enumerate databases on a server [I,L]
disableclr [PRIV] Disable CLR integration [I,L]
disableole [PRIV] Disable OLE automation procedures [I,L]
disablerpc [PRIV] Disable RPC and RPC Out on linked server [I]
disablexp [PRIV] Disable xp_cmdshell [I,L]
enableclr [PRIV] Enable CLR integration [I,L]
enableole [PRIV] Enable OLE automation procedures [I,L]
enablerpc [PRIV] Enable RPC and RPC Out on linked server [I]
enablexp [PRIV] Enable xp_cmdshell [I,L]
impersonate [NORM] Enumerate users that can be impersonated
info [NORM] Gather information about the SQL server
links [NORM] Enumerate linked servers [I,L]
olecmd [PRIV] Execute a system command using OLE automation procedures [I,L]
query [NORM] Execute a custom SQL query [I,L]
rows [NORM] Get the count of rows in a table [I,L]
search [NORM] Search a table for a column name [I,L]
smb [NORM] Coerce NetNTLM auth via xp_dirtree [I,L]
tables [NORM] Enu merate tables within a database [I,L]
users [NORM] Enumerate users with database access [I,L]
whoami [NORM] Gather logged in user, mapped user and roles [I,L]

PySQLRecon has global options (available to any command), with some commands introducing additional flags. All global options must be specified before the command name:
pysqlrecon [GLOBAL_OPTS] COMMAND [COMMAND_OPTS]
View global options:
pysqlrecon --help
View command specific options:
pysqlrecon [GLOBAL_OPTS] COMMAND --help
Change the database authenticated to, or used in certain PySQLRecon commands (query
, tables
, columns
rows
), with the --database
flag.
Target execution of a PySQLRecon command on a linked server (instead of the SQL server being authenticated to) using the --link
flag.
Impersonate a user account while running a PySQLRecon command with the --impersonate
flag.
--link
and --impersonate
and incompatible.
pysqlrecon uses Poetry to manage dependencies. Install from source and setup for development with:
git clone https://github.com/tw1sm/pysqlrecon
cd pysqlrecon
poetry install
poetry run pysqlrecon --help
PySQLRecon is easily extensible - see the template and instructions in resources
CMLoot was created to easily find interesting files stored on System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM/CM) SMB shares. The shares are used for distributing software to Windows clients in Windows enterprise environments and can contains scripts/configuration files with passwords, certificates (pfx), etc. Most SCCM deployments are configured to allow all users to read the files on the shares, sometimes it is limited to computer accounts.
The Content Library of SCCM/CM have a "complex" (annoying) file structure which CMLoot will untangle for you: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/configuration-manager-archive/understanding-the-configuration-manager-content-library/ba-p/273349
Essentially the DataLib folder contains .INI files, the .INI file are named the original filename + .INI. The .INI file contains a hash of the file, and the file itself is stored in the FileLib in format of <folder name: 4 first chars of the hash>\fullhash.
It is possible to apply Access control to packages in CM. This however only protects the folder for the file descriptor (DataLib), not the actual file itself. CMLoot will during inventory record any package that it can't access (Access denied) to the file _noaccess.txt. Invoke-CMLootHunt can then use this file to enumerate the actual files that the access control is trying to protect.
Windows Defender for Endpoint (EDR) or other security mechanisms might trigger because the script parses a lot of files over SMB.
Find CM servers by searching for them in Active Directory or by fetching this reqistry key on a workstation with System Center installed:
(Get-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\DP -Name ManagementPoints).ManagementPoints
There may be multiple CM servers deployed and they can contain different files so be sure to find all of them.
Then you need to create an inventory file which is just a text file containing references to file descriptors (.INI). The following command will parse all .INI files on the SCCM server to create a list of files available.
PS> Invoke-CMLootInventory -SCCMHost sccm01.domain.local -Outfile sccmfiles.txt
Then use the inventory file created above to download files of interest:
Select files using GridView (Milage may vary with large inventory files):
PS> Invoke-CMLootDownload -InventoryFile .\sccmfiles.txt -GridSelect
Download a single file, by coping a line in the inventory text:
PS> Invoke-CMLootDownload -SingleFile \\sccm\SCCMContentLib$\DataLib\SC100001.1\x86\MigApp.xml
Download all files with a certain file extension:
PS> Invoke-CMLootDownload -InventoryFile .\sccmfiles.txt -Extension ps1
Files will by default download to CMLootOut in the folder from which you execute the script, can be changed with -OutFolder parameter. Files are saved in the format of (folder: filext)\(first 4 chars of hash>_original filename).
Hunt for files that CMLootInventory found inaccessible:
Invoke-CMLootHunt -SCCMHost sccm -NoAccessFile sccmfiles_noaccess.txt
Bulk extract MSI files:
Invoke-CMLootExtract -Path .\CMLootOut\msi
Run inventory, scanning available files:
Select files using GridSelect:
Hunt "inaccessible" files and MSI extract:
