Deployment
Deploying trident requires a Google Cloud project, a domain name (for the orchestrator API), and a Cloudflare Access configuration for this domain. Cloudflare Access is used to authenticate requests to the orchestrator API.
brew install cloudflare/cloudflare/cloudflared
brew install terraform
cd terraform
cloudflared login
terraform init
terraform plan
terraform apply
Installation
Trident has a command line interface available in the releases page. Alternatively, you can download and install trident-client via go get:
GO111MODULE=on go get github.com/praetorian-inc/trident/cmd/trident-client
Usage
Config
The trident-client binary sends API requests to the orchestrator. It reads from ~/.trident/config.yaml, which has the following format:
orchestrator-url: https://trident.example.org
providers:
okta:
subdomain: example
adfs:
domain: adfs.example.org
o365:
domain: login.microsoft.com
Campaigns
With a valid config.yaml, the trident-client can be used to create password spraying campaigns, as shown below:
trident-client campaign -u usernames.txt -p passwords.txt –interval 5s –window 120s
The --interval option allows the operator to insert delays between credential attempts. The --window option allows the operator to set a hard stop time for the campaign. Additional arguments are documented below:
Usage:
trident-cli campaign [flags]
Flags:
-a, –auth-provider string this is the authentication platform you are attacking (default “okta”)
-h, –help help for campaign
-i, –interval duration requests will happen with this interval between them (default 1s)
-b, –notbefore string requests will not start before this time (default “2020-09-09T22:31:38.643959-05:00”)
-p, –passfile string file of passwords (newline separated)
-u, –userfile string file of usernames (newline separated)
-w, –window duration a duration that this campaign will be active (ex: 4w) (default 672h0m0s)
Results
The results subcommand can be used to query the result table. This subcommand has several options, but defaults to showing all valid credentials across all campaigns.
