SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires impacket, responder, petitpotam, dfscoerce, krbrelayx, mitm6, netexec, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps penetration testers capture credentials by forcing remote systems to authenticate to attacker-controlled listeners, enabling privilege escalation and lateral movement.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Authentication Coercion: Utilizes various techniques (PetitPotam, PrinterBug, DFSCoerce, etc.) to trigger authentication callbacks.
  • NTLM & Kerberos Relay: Relays captured credentials to services like SMB, LDAP, and AD CS for further exploitation.
  • Hash Capture: Captures NetNTLM hashes for offline cracking when relay is not feasible.
  • Use Case: A tester can use this Skill to force a Domain Controller to authenticate to their listener, capture the NTLM hash, and then relay it to gain administrative access to the DC.

Quick Start

Use the auth-coercion-relay skill to attempt PetitPotam coercion against the target DC at 10.10.10.5.

Frequently Asked Questions about auth-coercion-relay

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I force a Windows Domain Controller to authenticate for NTLM relay attacks?

You can force authentication from a Windows Domain Controller using coercion techniques like PetitPotam, PrinterBug, or DFSCoerce to trigger authentication callbacks to an attacker-controlled listener for NTLM relay attacks.

Can I relay captured NTLM hashes to AD CS for privilege escalation?

Yes, captured NTLM hashes can be relayed to services like SMB, LDAP, and AD CS to facilitate privilege escalation and gain administrative access within the Active Directory environment.

What is the difference between PetitPotam and DFSCoerce for authentication coercion?

PetitPotam and DFSCoerce are distinct techniques for triggering authentication callbacks in Active Directory, allowing testers to force remote systems to authenticate to attacker-controlled listeners for credential capture.

How does name resolution poisoning work with Kerberos relay attacks?

Name resolution poisoning via tools like Responder and mitm6 intercepts authentication traffic, enabling attackers to capture Kerberos tickets and relay them to Active Directory services for lateral movement.

Do I need impacket and netexec to perform lateral movement in Active Directory?

Tools like impacket and netexec are required dependencies for automating authentication coercion and NTLM relay attacks, providing the necessary protocols and frameworks for lateral movement in Active Directory environments.

Why capture NetNTLM hashes when relay is not feasible during an engagement?

Capturing NetNTLM hashes allows penetration testers to perform offline cracking attempts when relaying credentials to services like SMB or LDAP is not feasible due to network constraints or signing requirements.
