# NtFileSins v2.2 (c)
# By John Page (aka hyp3rlinx)
# Python v3 compatible
# Enhancements: search target user dir on first pass, unless the -d flag is
used, added .dat, .tmp file ext checks.
# TODO: Alternate Data Streams (ADS) check e.g. abc.txt:test.txt:$DATA
# Original advisory:
http://hyp3rlinx.altervista.org/advisories/MICROSOFT-WINDOWS-NTFS-PRIVILEGED-FILE-ACCESS-ENUMERATION.txt
#
# NtFileSins is a Windows File Enumeration Intel Gathering Tool.
# Standard users can prove existence of privileged user artifacts.
#
# Typically, the Windows commands DIR or TYPE hand out a default "Access
Denied" error message,
# when a file exists or doesn't exist, when restricted access is attempted
by another user.
#
# However, accessing files directly by attempting to "open" them from
cmd.exe shell,
# we can determine existence by compare inconsistent Windows error messages.
#
# Requirements: 1) target users with >= privileges (not admin to admin).
#               2) artifacts must contain a dot "." or returns false
positives.
#
# Windows message "Access Denied" = Exists
# Windows message "The system cannot find the file" = Not exists
# Windows returns "no message"  OR  "c:\victim\artifact is not recognized
as an internal or external command,
# operable program or batch file" = Admin to Admin so this script is not
required.
#
# Profile other users by compare ntfs error messages to potentially learn
their activities or machines purpose.
# For evil or maybe check for basic malware IOC existence on disk with
user-only rights.

#From a defensive perspective we can leverage this to try to detect basic
IOC and malware artifacts like .tmp, .ini, .dll, .exe
#or related config files on disk with user-only rights, instead of
authenticating with admin rights as a quick paranoid first pass.

#Example, if malware hides itself by unlinking themselves from the EPROCESS
list in memory or using programs like WinRAP to hide
#processess from Windows TaskMgr, we may not discover them even if using
tasklist command. The EPROCESS structure and flink/blink is
#how Windows TaskMgr shows all running processes. However, we may possibly
detect them by testing for the correct IOC name if the
#malicious code happens to reside on disk and not only in memory. Whats
cool is we can be do this without the need for admin rights.
#
#Other Windows commands that will also let us confirm file existence by
comparing error messages are start, call, copy, icalcs, and cd.
#However, Windows commands rename, ren, cacls, type, dir, erase, move or
del commands will issue flat out "Access is denied" messages.
