SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps defenders and red teams identify anonymous NTLM/Negotiate information disclosure from internet-facing IIS, SharePoint, and Exchange endpoints. By revealing AD topology details such as NetBIOS/DNS names and forest structure, it enables contextual risk assessment and targeted remediation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • NTLM Type-2 AV_PAIRS decoding: Extracts NetBIOS Computer/Domain names, DNS names, forest roots, and timestamps from NTLM challenges.
  • Topology-informed risk scoring: Maps disclosures to severity (forest and host naming patterns) to guide triage and remediation planning.
  • Operational workflow guidance: Provides step-by-step hunting methodology and practical examples for blue-team validation and red-team assessment.

Quick Start

Probe an anonymous NTLM endpoint on a public-facing service to capture a Type-2 challenge and decode the AV_PAIRS for topology data.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect NTLM information disclosure on internet-facing IIS and SharePoint?

Detect NTLM information disclosure by probing anonymous NTLM endpoints on internet-facing IIS and SharePoint to capture Type-2 challenges. This captures NTLM challenges to extract Active Directory topology details like NetBIOS and DNS names for risk assessment.

What data can be extracted from NTLM Type-2 AV_PAIRS during a pentest?

NTLM Type-2 AV_PAIRS decoding extracts NetBIOS computer and domain names, DNS computer names, DNS domains, DNS tree names, and timestamps. These signals reveal internal forest structure and host naming patterns from anonymous NTLM challenges.

Can I map Active Directory topology from anonymous Exchange endpoints?

Map Active Directory topology from anonymous Exchange endpoints by capturing Negotiate headers. The skill decodes AV_PAIRS from these NTLM challenges to reveal the DNS tree name and forest root structure for targeted remediation.

How does NTLM information disclosure risk scoring work for exposed services?

NTLM information disclosure risk scoring maps extracted forest and host naming patterns to severity levels. This topology-informed scoring guides triage and remediation planning by contextualizing the exposed Active Directory structure.

What is the best way to hunt for NTLM info leaks on public-facing services?

Hunt for NTLM info leaks by probing public-facing services to capture an anonymous NTLM Type-2 challenge. Decoding the AV_PAIRS from the challenge provides step-by-step hunting methodology for both blue-team validation and red-team assessment.

Why does IIS advertise NTLM or Negotiate headers anonymously?

IIS advertises NTLM or Negotiate headers anonymously when authentication providers are configured to allow challenge generation before credential submission. This triggers information disclosure by returning Type-2 challenges containing internal AD topology data.
