A Python CLI exploit tool that chains CVE-2021-42278 and CVE-2021-42287 to escalate from a standard Active Directory domain user to Domain Admin. It can impersonate users, create computer accounts, dump hashes, and drop a semi-interactive shell via smbexec.

Use cases

  • exploit CVE-2021-42278 and CVE-2021-42287 to get domain admin
  • escalate privileges from a standard domain user in Active Directory
  • dump domain controller hashes with secretsdump
  • get a shell on a domain controller via smbexec
  • test Active Directory domain controllers for the sAMAccountName spoofing vulnerability
  • impersonate a domain admin user via Kerberos S4U2Self

When to choose

  • you are doing authorized penetration testing or red teaming against an Active Directory environment vulnerable to CVE-2021-42278/42287
  • you need an all-in-one tool that exploits, dumps hashes, and drops a shell
  • you want a maintained fork of sam-the-admin with extra options like Kerberos auth and hash-based authentication

When to avoid

  • the target domain controllers are patched for CVE-2021-42278 and CVE-2021-42287
  • you need a general-purpose AD auditing tool rather than a specific exploit
  • unauthorized use - this is an offensive security tool that should only be used with explicit permission
