==============================

When performing a security assessment it’s important to have a plan of
attack. All machines do not have the same level of criticality. For
example, a missing patch on a Windows workstation will not be
perceived as being as serious a flaw as a missing patch on a Windows
domain controller. For a Windows assessment, one routine that I found
useful was to target the following hosts in the following order:

- Windows domain controllers
- Windows servers
- Windows workstations

Locating Windows domain controllers can be a bit of a hassle
sometimes, especially if you have no knowledge of the network you are
assessing. If that is the case for you, the following may provide some
help.

DCLookup – Provides a list of domain controllers that are available to
authenticate the current host

Usage:

DCLookup.exe <hostname | ip address>

DCLookup.exe 127.0.0.1
DCLookup.exe MyMachine

Example output:

C:\>DCLookup.exe 127.0.0.1

What to do next:

Once you have a list of domain controllers, the next step would be to
start running various checks against them to assess their security
stature. The following is a short assessment flow for a domain
controller using WinScanX:

1. Using WinScanX, attempt to retrieve the account lockout threshold
using the Get Account Policy Information feature against a domain
controller.

2. If the account lockout threshold is not set or if it is 5 attempts
or higher, attempt to retrieve the user information using the Get User
Information or Get User Information via RA Bypass feature of WinScanX
and run a quick password check using the Guess Windows Passwords
feature.

***NOTE***
Make sure to only use the Guess Windows Passwords feature on one
domain controller ONLY. Using this feature on multiple domain
controllers in the same domain may cause accounts to lock out.
