Wolf in sheep's clothing: Azure Active Directory reconnaissance as an insider

Wolf in sheep's clothing: Azure Active Directory reconnaissance as an insider

This post is part 35 of Azure AD and Microsoft 365 kill chain blog series.

Azure AD and Office 365 are cloud services and most information is hidden to the members (or guests) of the tenant. However, there are plenty of information publicly available to anyone.

In this blog, using AADInternals v0.4.5, I’ll show how to gather information of any Azure AD tenant as an insider.

AAD & M365 kill chain

imageMapResize(); Introduction According to Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report 2020, externals attackers are considerable more common than internal attackers. In the cloud era, attacking the organisation from the outside is much more difficult, if not impossible. Therefore, to be able to access organisation’s data, one must gain some level of legitimate access to the organisation. The Azure AD and Microsoft 365 kill chain is a collection of recon techniques and hacking tools I’ve discovered and built during the last 10+ years while working with Microsoft cloud services.

When sharing SharePoint to people outside the organisations or inviting them to Teams, a corresponding guest account is created to Azure AD. Although the created guest account is not a pure insider, it has wide read-only access to organisation’s Azure AD information.

In this blog, using AADInternals v0.4.0, I’ll show how to gather information from Azure AD tenant as a guest user.

Getting root access to Azure VMs as a Azure AD Global Administrator

Getting root access to Azure VMs as a Azure AD Global Administrator

Sean Metcalf (@Pyrotek3) organised a great webcast at the end of the May 2020. Among other things, Sean introduced a new (to me, at least) attack-vector where an Azure AD administrator can easily get a system level access to any Azure virtual machine of the organisation. Naturally, I had to implement this functionality to AADInternals.

In this blog, using AADInternals v0.3.3, I’ll show how a Global Administator can gain access to any Azure VM of the organisation.
