Installation​

Simple​

pip3 install --upgrade knowsmore
Note: If you face problem with dependency version Check the Virtual ENV file

Execution Flow​

There is no an obligation order to import data, but to get better correlation data we suggest the following execution flow:

1. Create database file
2. Import BloodHound files
   1. Domains
   2. GPOs
   3. OUs
   4. Groups
   5. Computers
   6. Users
3. Import NTDS file
4. Import cracked hashes

Create database file​

All data are stored in a SQLite Database
knowsmore --create-db

Importing BloodHound files​

We can import all full BloodHound files into KnowsMore, correlate data, and sync it to Neo4J BloodHound Database. So you can use only KnowsMore to import JSON files directly into Neo4j database instead of use extremely slow BloodHound User Interface

# Bloodhound ZIP File
knowsmore --bloodhound --import-data ~/Desktop/client.zip

# Bloodhound JSON File
knowsmore --bloodhound --import-data ~/Desktop/20220912105336_users.json

Note: The KnowsMore is capable to import BloodHound ZIP File and JSON files, but we recommend to use ZIP file, because the KnowsMore will automatically order the files to better data correlation.

Sync data to Neo4j BloodHound database​

# Bloodhound ZIP File
knowsmore --bloodhound --sync 10.10.10.10:7687 -d neo4j -u neo4j -p 12345678

Note: The KnowsMore implementation of bloodhount-importer was inpired from Fox-It BloodHound Import implementation. We implemented several changes to save all data in KnowsMore SQLite database and after that do an incremental sync to Neo4J database. With this strategy we have several benefits such as at least 10x faster them original BloodHound User interface.

Importing NTDS file​

Option 1​

Note: Import hashes and clear-text passwords directly from NTDS.dit and SYSTEM registry
knowsmore --secrets-dump -target LOCAL -ntds ~/Desktop/ntds.dit -system ~/Desktop/SYSTEM

Option 2​

Note: First use the secretsdump to extract ntds hashes with the command bellow
secretsdump.py -ntds ntds.dit -system system.reg -hashes lmhash:ntlmhash LOCAL -outputfile ~/Desktop/client_name
After that import
knowsmore --ntlm-hash --import-ntds ~/Desktop/client_name.ntds

Generating a custom wordlist​

knowsmore --word-list -o "~/Desktop/Wordlist/my_custom_wordlist.txt" --batch --name company_name

Importing cracked hashes​

Cracking hashes​

First extract all hashes to a txt file

# Extract NTLM hashes to file
nowsmore --ntlm-hash --export-hashes "~/Desktop/ntlm_hash.txt"

# Or, extract NTLM hashes from NTDS file
cat ~/Desktop/client_name.ntds | cut -d ':' -f4 > ntlm_hashes.txt

In order to crack the hashes, I usually use hashcat with the command bellow

# Wordlist attack
hashcat -m 1000 -a 0 -O -o "~/Desktop/cracked.txt" --remove "~/Desktop/ntlm_hash.txt" "~/Desktop/Wordlist/*"

# Mask attack
hashcat -m 1000 -a 3 -O --increment --increment-min 4 -o "~/Desktop/cracked.txt" --remove "~/Desktop/ntlm_hash.txt" ?a?a?a?a?a?a?a?a

importing hashcat output file​

knowsmore --ntlm-hash --company clientCompanyName --import-cracked ~/Desktop/cracked.txt
Note: Change clientCompanyName to name of your company

Wipe sensitive data​

As the passwords and his hashes are extremely sensitive data, there is a module to replace the clear text passwords and respective hashes.
Note: This command will keep all generated statistics and imported user data.
knowsmore --wipe

BloodHound Mark as owned​

One User​

During the assessment you can find (in a several ways) users password, so you can add this to the Knowsmore database

knowsmore --user-pass --username administrator --password Sec4US@2023

# or adding the company name

knowsmore --user-pass --username administrator --password Sec4US@2023 --company sec4us

Integrate all credentials cracked to Neo4j Bloodhound database
knowsmore --bloodhound --mark-owned 10.10.10.10 -d neo4j -u neo4j -p 123456
To remote connection make sure that Neo4j database server is accepting remote connection. Change the line bellow at the config file /etc/neo4j/neo4j.conf and restart the service.
server.bolt.listen_address=0.0.0.0:7687
