A (partial) Python rewriting of PowerSploit's PowerView.
Fork me on GitHub.
As a pentester, I love using PowerView during my assignments. It makes it so easy to find vulnerable machines, or list what domain users were added to the local Administrators group of a machine, and much more.
However, running PowerView on a computer which is not connected to the domain
is a pain: I always find myself using mimikatz's
sekurlsa::pth to run a Powershell prompt with stolen domain credentials, and
that's not easy to script. Plus, I'm a Linux guy and I've always found it a
shame that there were no complete Windows/Active Directory enumeration tool on
Linux.
That's why I decided to rewrite some of PowerView's functionalities in Python, using the wonderful impacket library.
Update: I haven't tested the last version of PowerView yet, which can run from a machine not connected to a domain. I don't know if it works correctly under Linux using Powershell. If anyone has had any experience with this at all, you can contact me, I'm really interested. We'll see if pywerview has become obsoleted ;) but I think I'll continue working on it eitherway: I'd still rather use Python than Powershell on Linux, and I'm learning a lot! Plus, it may integrated in existing Linux tools written in Python. It's still great news that PowerView now supports machines not connected to the domain!
This tool is far from complete (as you'll see in the TODO section)! I still have a lot more awesome PowerView functionalities to implement (the user hunting functions, the GPO functions, the local process enumeration, etc.), but I still think it can be useful as is.
It's also (very) possible that there are (many) bugs in the code: I've only tested the simplest test cases. If you use this tool during an assignment and you get an error, please, open an issue with the error and the conditions that triggered this error.
Also, blah blah blah, don't use it for evil purposes.
- Python 3.6
- impacket >= 0.9.22
- ldap3 >= 2.8.1
- gssapi (Which requires
libkrb5-dev) - pycryptodomex (or pycryptodome)

to resolve domain SIDs.
invoke-checklocaladminaccess

invoke-userhunter Finds which machines domain users are logged into
invoke-processhunter

Take a look at the wiki to see a more detailed usage of every command.
Attention: in every command, the used domain name must be the post-Win2k UPN, and not the Win2k compatible name.
For example, my domain name is uselessdomain.local. The Win2K compatible name
is USELESSDOMAIN. In every command, I must use uselessdomain.local as
an argument, and not USELESSDOMAIN.
You can provide a logging level to pywerview modules by using -l or --logging-level options. Supported levels are:
CRITICAL: Only critical errors are displayed (default)WARNINGWarnings are displayed, along with citical errorsDEBUG: Debug level (caution: very verbose)ULTRA: Extreme debugging level (caution: very very verbose)
(level names are case insensitive)
Kerberos authentication is now (partially) supported, which means you can pass the ticket and other stuff. To authenticate via Kerberos:
- Point the
KRB5CCNAMEenvironment variable to your cache credential file. - Use the
-koption in your function call, or thedo_kerberosin your library call.
$ klist stormtroopers.ccache

$ KRB5CCNAME=stormtroopers.ccache python3 pywerview.py get-netcomputer -t srv-ad.contoso.com -u stormtroopers -k

dnshostname: SRV-MAIL.contoso.com
dnshostname: SRV-AD.contoso.com If your cache credential file contains a corresponding TGS, or a TGT for your calling user, Kerberos authentication will be used.
SPN patching is partial. Right now, we're in a mixed configuration where we
use ldap3 for LDAP commands and impacket for the other protocols (SMB,
RPC). That is because impacket's LDAP implementation has several problems,
such as mismanagement of non-ASCII characters (which is problematic for us
baguette-eaters).
ldap3 uses gssapi to authenticate with Kerberos, and gssapi needs the
full hostname in the SPN of a ticket, otherwise it throws an error. It would
be possible to patch an SPN with an incomplete hostname, however it's not done
for now.
For any functions that only rely on impacket (SMB or RPC functions), you can
use tickets with SPNs with an incomplete hostname. In the following example, we
use an LDAP ticket with an incomplete hostname for an SMB function, without any
trouble. You just have to make sure that the --computername argument matches
this incomplete hostname in the SPN:
$ klist skywalker.ccache
Ticket cache: FILE:skywalker.ccache
Default principal: skywalker@CONTOSO.COM

13/04/2022 14:26:59 14/04/2022 00:26:58 ldap/srv-ad@CONTOSO.COM

$ KRB5CCNAME=skywalker.ccache python3 pywerview.py get-localdisks --computername srv-ad -u skywalker -k

cifs/srv-ad.contoso.com@CONTOSO.COm |

ldap/srv-ad@CONTOSO.COM |

You can force a connection to the LDAPS port by using the --tls switch. It
can be necessary with some functions, for example when retrieving gMSA
passwords with get-adserviceaccount:
$ python3 pywerview.py get-adserviceaccount -t srv-ad.contoso.com -u 'SRV-MAIL$' --hashes $NT_HASH --resolve-sids
distinguishedname: CN=gMSA-01,CN=Managed Service Accounts,DC=contoso,DC=com
