BloodHound

Bloodhound allowed attackers to visualise the AD environment in a graph format with interconnected nodes. Each connection is a possible path that could be exploited to reach a goal.

First, we need to use Sharphound, with it, we extract (obtain) the data, then used by Bloodhound to analyze graphically.

  • Sharphound.ps1 - PowerShell script for running Sharphound. However, the latest release of Sharphound has stopped releasing the Powershell script version. This version is good to use with RATs since the script can be loaded directly into memory, evading on-disk AV scans.

  • Sharphound.exe - A Windows executable version for running Sharphound.

  • AzureHound.ps1 - PowerShell script for running Sharphound for Azure (Microsoft Cloud Computing Services) instances. Bloodhound can ingest data enumerated from Azure to find attack paths related to the configuration of Azure Identity and Access Management.

  • CollectionMethods - Determines what kind of data Sharphound would collect. The most common options are Default or All. Also, since Sharphound caches information, once the first run has been completed, you can only use the Session collection method to retrieve new user sessions to speed up the process.

  • Domain - Here, we specify the domain we want to enumerate. In some instances, you may want to enumerate a parent or other domain that has trust with your existing domain. You can tell Sharphound which domain should be enumerated by altering this parameter.

  • ExcludeDCs -This will instruct Sharphound not to touch domain controllers, which reduces the likelihood that the Sharphound run will raise an alert.
