ShadowSpray is 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 voilà – 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).
