Windows Gather Active Directory Managed Groups

Created

Description

This module will enumerate AD groups on the specified domain which are specifically managed. It cannot at the moment identify whether the 'Manager can update membership list' option option set; if so, it would allow that member to update the contents of that group. This could either be used as a persistence mechanism (for example, set your user as the 'Domain Admins' group manager) or could be used to detect privilege escalation opportunities without having domain admin privileges.

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
