Overview

ADExplorerSnapshot.py

ADExplorerSnapshot.py is an AD Explorer snapshot ingestor for BloodHound.

AD Explorer allows you to connect to a DC and browse LDAP data. It can also create snapshots of the server you are currently attached to. This tool allows you to convert those snapshots to BloodHound-compatible JSON files.

Limitations

The ingestor only supports offline information collection from the snapshot file and won't interact with systems on the network. That means features like session and localadmin collection are not available. GPO/OU collection is missing. The ingestor processes all data it possibly can from the snapshot (including ACLs). You will only have the data available of the LDAP/DC that you ran the snapshot against.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/c3c/ADExplorerSnapshot.py.git
cd ADExplorerSnapshot.py
pip3 install --user .

Usage

usage: ADExplorerSnapshot.py [-h] snapshot

ADExplorer snapshot ingestor for BloodHound

positional arguments:
  snapshot

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit

Notes

Making snapshots in AD Explorer is more network-intensive than the traditional BloodHound ingestors as it attempts to retrieve all objects it can from the LDAP.

ADExplorerSnapshot.py will create caches of information for quicker lookups while processing the data. Especially when processing larger snapshots (e.g. 4GB+) you will also need to have sufficient RAM available. In my tests, about half of the snapshot file size was required in RAM.

The library was tested with a number of data sets, please create an issue report if you run into problems.

The AD Explorer snapshot parser is implemented as its own module, which could also be used individually.

The format in which snapshots are stored by AD Explorer is proprietary and led to a fun reverse engineering journey. A 010 editor template is included in this repository, which I used for iteratively mapping out the contents of the snapshot into structs.

ADExplorerSnapshot.py relies on the following projects:

BloodHound.py (the Python BloodHound ingestor); for processing LDAP data.
dissect.cstruct (C-style binary struct parser): for parsing the binary snapshot data.

Comments

KeyError: 'ms-mcs-admpwd'

Hi there,

Thanks for the awesome tool!

Happy New Year to you and I hope you have a good 2022 so far!

I encountered the following error when using the tool.

Would you be able to assist on this?

Fix user primaryGroupID

Fixes #6

get_primary_membership from bloodhound.enumeration.memberships can't handle the list object returned from entry['attributes']['primary_membership'].

This PR allows the tool to return the correct primaryGroupID by defining a temporary dictionary that the get_primary_membership function can handle.

ADExplorerSnapshot doesn't map primaryGroupID

The script used to import ADExplorer snapshots in to Bloodhound doesn't pick up on the PrimaryGroupID attribute and therefore doesn't map the relation. This results in a users not showing as part of certain groups.

Another issue is that the following attribute is not used, do you want to keep in in there for future use? https://github.com/c3c/ADExplorerSnapshot.py/blob/33708fa990d400ffd0d26d928dab33e66bf1a732/adexpsnapshot/init.py#L225

Commandline in documentation screenshot is outdated

In the program the -v flag is currently not used.

Furthermore I would like to suggest to increase the commandline options by specifying an input file and output directory for more granular control in the case of dealing with multiple files.

Fix: avoid sid=none in JSON output
I had an issue with the output files. Bloodhound would fail when importing. The message in the dev console said something like Cannot read property of null.

I found that the computers.json contained lines like this:

"AllowedToDelegate": [ "S-1-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", null ],

This patch makes sure to add sids to the AllowedToDelegate list only if they are not Null (or empty).

I reckon this happens when the SID is from another domain.

User-created Machine Accounts are not parsed properly as Computers
User-created machine accounts (e.g. with new-adcomputer cmdlet) are not included in the parsed output from AD Explorer snapshot. Per source code, it appears the object is not parsed correctly due to a lack of the "dnshostname" attribute for Computer objects created this way.

https://github.com/c3c/ADExplorerSnapshot.py/blob/590b94735db3cf18e6cc5e7512937192a1080715/adexpsnapshot/init.py#L205

To replicate :

Create an object with "New-ADComputer" (notice the dnshostname attribute is missing)

Open in ADExplorer, create snapshot

Run parser, check the computer.json file
