Carseat : A Python Implementation Of Seatbelt

Carseat is a Python-based tool that replicates the functionality of the well-known security auditing tool, Seatbelt. It includes nearly all modules from Seatbelt, focusing on remote execution capabilities.

Designed for cybersecurity professionals, Carseat is particularly useful for gathering system information and assessing security configurations on target hosts.

However, privileged access is typically required to execute its modules effectively.

Carseat relies on two non-standard Python libraries: impacket and pefile. These can be installed individually or via a requirements file:

bashpip3 install -r requirements.txt

Carseat provides flexibility in executing commands. Below are examples of its usage:

• Single Command Execution: bashpython CarSeat.py domain/user:password@10.10.10.10 AntiVirus
• Multiple Commands: bashpython CarSeat.py domain/user:password@10.10.10.10 AntiVirus,UAC,ScheduledTasks
• Grouped Commands: bashpython CarSeat.py -group remote domain/user:password@10.10.10.10 InterestingProcesses
• Commands with Arguments: bashpython CarSeat.py -group remote domain/user:password@10.10.10.10 ExplicitLogonEvents 10

Carseat supports authentication via passwords, NTLM hashes, or Kerberos tickets, similar to other impacket tools.

Carseat includes a wide range of modules for system auditing and forensic analysis, such as:

• Security Configurations: Modules like AntiVirus, WindowsDefender, and UAC help identify defensive measures.
• System Information: Commands like OSInfo and InstalledProducts provide insights into the operating system and installed software.
• Event Logs: Modules such as LogonEvents and ProcessCreationEvents parse event logs for sensitive data.
• Browser Data: Extracts history and bookmarks from Chrome, Firefox, and other browsers using commands like ChromiumHistory and FirefoxHistory.
• Credential Analysis: Tools like CloudCredentials and CredGuard identify stored credentials or related configurations.

While Carseat mirrors Seatbelt’s functionality, it focuses exclusively on modules supporting remote execution. The -group remote flag ensures all available modules are executed remotely.

Carseat builds upon the foundational work of Will (@harmj0y) and Lee (@tifkin_), the creators of Seatbelt, with additional event log parsing inspired by Iwan Timmer’s tivan project.

Carseat is a powerful tool for security auditing and reconnaissance, offering extensive functionality for remote environments while maintaining compatibility with existing Seatbelt workflows1.
