Invoke-CleverSpray

Password Spraying Script detecting current and previous passwords of Active Directory User by @flelievre

Options:

-Password: Password to spray.
-PasswordFile: Path to file containing a list of passwords to spray.
-Username: samAccountName of the user to target.
-UsernamesFile: Path to file containing a list of samAccountNames to target.
-Domain: The domain to query for users, defaults to the current domain.
-Limit: Only users having a 'badPwdCount' lower or equal to Limit will be targeted (default is 1 to avoid blocking accounts).
-Delay: Delay between authentication attemps (in s).
-Jitter: Jitter for the authentication attemps delay.
-HideOld: Hide old password discovered (default is false).

Usage: Import Invoke-CleverSpray:

Import-Module .\Invoke-CleverSpray.ps1

Spray a unique password:

Invoke-CleverSpray -Password "Passw0rd"

Spray multiple passwords:

Invoke-CleverSpray -PasswordFile ".\pwd_list.txt"

Behavior:

• Retrieves default or specified domain (to specify a domain, use the -Domain paramater) using Get-NetDomain from PowerView (@harmj0y) and identifies the PDCe to send authentication requests (because the domain PDCe centralizes "badPwdCount" attributes for the domain users)
• Retrieves all the domain user accounts using Get-NetUser from PowerView (@harmj0y) or within specified file (-UsernamesFile)
• For each users, it verifies if the "badPwdCount" attribute is inferior to the threshold set passed as argument (-Limit), if it is:
  • It tries to authenticates using provided password (-Password) or a password within a specified password list file (-PasswordFile) with each users' accounts
    • If authentication is successful, the user's current password has been discovered
    • If authentication is unsuccessful:
      • checks if user's "badPwdCount" attribute was incremented: if not, provided password is a previous password of the user account (be creative, detect the user's password creation pattern to guess it's actual password ;)
      • if user's "badPwdCount" attribute was incremented, no previous or current password was found for that specific user
  • If a delay is set (-Delay), wait for Delay +/- Jitter (-Jitter) or directly spray on to the next user of the domain.

WARNING: Default -Limit is set to 1 (i.e. only user accounts having a "badPwdCount" lower or equal to 1 will be targeted). You can increase this value at your own risk to target more users. I cannot garantee no users will be locked.
