Introduction
Allows changing or resetting users' passwords.
"Changing" refers to situations where you know the value of the existing password, and send that to the server as part of the password modification. "Resetting" refers to situations where you may not know the value of the existing password, but by virtue of your permissions over the target account, you can force-change the password without necessarily knowing it.
Note that users can typically not reset their own passwords (unless they have very high privileges).
This module works with existing sessions (or relaying), especially for Reset use cases, wherein the target's password is not required.
Actions
RESET
- Reset the target's password without knowing the existing one (requires appropriate permissions). New AES kerberos keys will be generated.RESET_NTLM
- Reset the target's NTLM hash, without knowing the existing password. AES kerberos authentication will not work until a standard password change occurs.CHANGE
- Change the password, knowing the existing one. New AES kerberos keys will be generated.CHANGE_NTLM
- Change the password to a NTLM hash value, knowing the existing password. AES kerberos authentication will not work until a standard password change occurs.
Options
The required options are based on the action being performed:
When resetting a password, you must specify the
TARGET_USER
When changing a password, you must specify the
SMBUser
andSMBPass
, even if using an existing session (since the API requires both of these to be specified, even for open SMB sessions)When resetting or changing a password, you must specify
NEW_PASSWORD
When resetting or changing an NTLM hash, you must specify
NEW_NTLM
SMBUser
The username to use to authenticate to the server. Required for changing a password, even if using an existing session.
SMBPass
The password to use to authenticate to the server, prior to performing the password modification. Required for changing a password, even if using an existing session (since the server requires proof that you know the existing password).
TARGET_USER
For resetting passwords, the user account for which to reset the password. The authenticated account (SMBUser) must have privileges over the target user (e.g. Ownership, or the User-Force-Change-Password
extended right)
NEW_PASSWORD
The new password to set for RESET
and CHANGE
actions.
NEW_NTLM
The new NTLM hash to set for RESET_NTLM
and CHANGE_NTLM
actions. This can either be an NT hash, or a colon-delimited NTLM hash.
