Check-LocalAdminHash is a PowerShell tool that attempts to authenticate to multiple hosts over either WMI or SMB using a password hash to determine if the provided credential is a local administrator. It's useful if you obtain a password hash for a user and want to see where they are local admin on a network. It is essentially a Frankenstein of two of my favorite tools along with some of my own code. It utilizes Kevin Robertson's (@kevin_robertson) Invoke-TheHash project for the credential checking portion. Additionally, the script utilizes modules from PowerView by Will Schroeder (@harmj0y) and Matt Graeber (@mattifestation) to enumerate domain computers to find targets for testing adm in access against.


The reason this script even exists is because on an assessment I wanted to gather all the PowerShell console history files (PSReadline) from every system on the network. The PSReadline console history is essentially the PowerShell version of bash history. It can include so many interesting things that people type into their terminals including passwords. So, included in this script is an option to exfiltrate all the PSReadline files as well. There is a bit of setup for this. See the end of the Readme for setup.

Examples

Checking Local Admin Hash Against All Hosts Over WMI
This command will use the domain 'testdomain.local' to lookup all systems and then attempt to authenticate to each one using the user 'testdomain.local\PossibleAdminUser' and a password hash over WMI.

Exfiltrate All PSReadline Console History Files
This command will use the domain 'testdomain.local' to lookup all systems and then attempt to authenticate to each one using the user 'testdomain.local\PossibleAdminUser' and a password hash over WMI. It then attempts to locate PowerShell console history files (PSReadline) for each profile on every system and then POST's them to a web server. See the bottom of the Readme for server setup.

Using A CIDR Range
This command will use the provided CIDR range to generate a target list and then attempt to authenticate to each one using the local user 'PossibleAdminUser' and a password hash over WMI.

Using Target List and SMB and Output to File
This command will use the provided targetlist and attempt to authenticate to each host using the local user 'PossibleAdminUser' and a password hash over SMB.

Single Target
This command attempts to perform a local authentication for the user Administrator against the system 192.168.0.16 over SMB.

Check-LocalAdminHash Options

Username - The Username for attempting authentication.
PasswordHash - Password hash of the user.
TargetSystem - Single hostname or IP for authentication attempt.
TargetList - A list of hosts to scan one per line
AllSystems - A switch that when enabled utilizes PowerView modules to enumerate all domain systems. This list is then used to check local admin access.
Domain - This is the domain that PowerView will utilize for discovering systems.
UserDomain - This is the user's domain to authenticate to each system with. Don't use this flag if using a local cred instead of domain cred.
Protocol - This is the setting for whether to check the hash using WMI or SMB. Default is 'WMI' but set it to 'SMB' to check that instead.
CIDR - Specify a CIDR form network range such as 192.168.0.0/24
Threads - Defaults to 5 threads. (I've run into some odd issues setting threads more than 15 with some results not coming back.)
ExfilPSReadline - For each s   ystem where auth is successful it runs a PowerShell command to locate PSReadLine console history files (PowerShell command history) and then POSTS them to a web server. See the Readme for server setup. 

PSReadline Exfiltration Setup
This is your warning that you are about to setup an Internet-facing server that will accept file uploads. Typically, this is a very bad thing to do. So definitely take precautions when doing this. I would recommend locking down firewall rules so that only the IP that will be uploading PSReadline files can hit the web server. Also, while we are on the topic of security, this will work just fine with an HTTPS connection so setup your domain and cert so that the PSReadline files are sent encrypted over the network. You have been warned...

• Setup a server wherever you would like the files to be sent. This server must be reachable over HTTP/HTTPS from each system.
  
• Copy the index.php script from this repo and put it in /index.php in the web root (/var/www/html) on your web server.
  
• Make an uploads directory
  

mkdir /var/www/html/uploads

• Modify the permissions of this directory

chmod 0777 /var/www/html/uploads

• Make sure php is installed

apt-get install php

• Restart Apache

service apache2 restart

• In the Check-LocalAdminHash.ps1 script itself scroll down to the "Gen-EncodedUploadScript" function and modify the "$Url" variable right under "$UnencodedCommand". Point it at your web server index.php page. I haven't figured out how to pass the UploadUrl variable into that section of the code that ends up getting encoded and run on target systems so hardcode it for now.

Now when you run Check-LocalAdminHash with the -ExfilPSReadline flag it should attempt to POST each PSReadline (if there are any) to your webserver.


Credits
Check-LocalAdminHash is pretty much a Frankenstein of two of my favorite tools, PowerView and Invoke-TheHash. 95% of the code is from those two tools. So the credit goes to Kevin Robertson (@kevin_robertson) for Invoke-TheHash, and credit goes to Will Schroeder (@harmj0y), Matt Graeber (@mattifestation) (and anyone else who worked on PowerView). Without those two tools this script wouldn't exist. Also shoutout to Steve Borosh (@424f424f) for help with the threading and just being an all around awesome dude.
