# Scenario 1 Infrastructure

In 

We hope to capture the general structure of what is reported to have been seen being used by the Sandworm Team. Scenarios 1 and 2 share the same infrastructure; however, Scenario 1 was built to exercise detective-only security controls, and thus protective security controls are to be disabled to complete the evaluation. Scenario 2 was built to exercise protective security controls, which may be enabled while completing the evaluation.

The requirements described herein should be considered a bare minimum to execute the scenario. If you have the time and resources to remain true-to-form, you may elect to stand up multiple of each of these servers, non-contiguous IP space, etc. If you are not concerned with emulating the Sandworm Team to this degree, this level of effort is not necessary. You could for instance, phish, serve payload, and exfil from/to the same server.

# Resources

Please note that binary executable files hosted in Resources have been added to password protected zip files. The password for these files is "malware."

We provide a script to automatically decrypt these files:

cd sandworm/
python3 Resources/utilities/crypt_executables.py -i ./ -p malware --decrypt

Note, there is no change of infrastructure between Scenario 1 and Scenario 2.

# Emulation Team Infrastructure

  1. Linux Attack Platform: tested and executed on Kali Linux 2019.1

# Emulation Team Infrastructure Configuration

This methodology assumes the following static IP address configurations:

Red Team System IP Address
Linux Attack Platform 192.168.0.4

# A note about red team payloads

  • This evaluation utilizes a combination of modified open-source and custom utilities that are representative of NotPetya ransomeware.
  • These utilities include credential dumpers, variants of process injection techniques, and file encryption.
  • Some pre-compiled payloads are available in the resources directory; however, they are configured to connect back to static IP address 192.168.0.4.

# Linux Attack Platform Setup

  1. Download the sandworm repository to the home directory

# Target Infrastructure

4 targets, all domain joined:

  1. Linux Server : tested and executed on CentOS 7.9
  2. Domain Controller : tested and executed on Windows Server 2k19 - Build 17763
  3. User machine 1 : tested and executed on Windows 10 - Build 19042
  4. User machine 2 : tested and executed on Windows 10 - Build 19042

# Target Infrastructure Configuration

Target System Hostname IP Address
Linux Server caladan 10.0.1.5
Domain Controller arrakis 10.0.1.4
User machine 1 gammu 10.0.1.7
User machine 2 quadra 10.0.1.8

# Linux Server Setup

  1. Upload caladan.sh to 10.0.1.5 via SCP
scp sandworm/Resources/setup/setup_caladan.sh fherbert@10.0.1.5:/tmp/setup_caladan.sh

password: Whg42WbhhCE17FEzrqeJ

⚠️ Run this command if you get SSH key errors

rm -rf ~./ssh/known_hosts
  1. upload SUID binary to caladan
scp sandworm/Resources/suid-binary/suid-binary fherbert@10.0.1.5:/tmp/suid-binary
  1. Run caladan.sh

# Domain Controller Setup

  1. RDP into arrakis:
xfreerdp +clipboard /u:dune\\patreides /p:"ebqMB7DmM81QVUqpf7XI" /v:10.0.1.4 /drive:X,sandworm/Resources/setup/
  1. Open Windows Defender, toggle all nobs to the off position.
  2. Open PowerShell being sure to select "Run as Administrator":
cd \\TSCLIENT\X
Set-Executionpolicy bypass -force
.\enable-winrm.ps1
.\disable-defender.ps1
  1. Reboot
Restart-Computer -Force

# Gammu / 10.0.1.7 Setup

  1. RDP into Gammu:
xfreerdp +clipboard /u:WORKGROUP\\fherbert /p:"Whg42WbhhCE17FEzrqeJ" /v:10.0.1.7 /drive:X,sandworm/Resources/setup/
  1. Open Windows Defender, toggle all knobs to the off position.
  2. Open PowerShell being sure to select Run as Administrator.
cd \\TSCLIENT\X
Set-Executionpolicy bypass -force
.\install_software.ps1
.\enable_winrm.ps1
.\disable-defender.ps1
.\generate-files.exe -d :C:\Users\" -c 50 --seed- "EVALS" --noprompt

  1. Open chromium and navigate to: https://www.stealmylogin.com/demo.html

  2. Enter the following credentials; save / cache the credentials when prompted.

fherbert@mail.com
Passw0rd123!!!

  1. Double-check the credentials were cached by going to Chromium settings > passwords. You should have one entry for stealmylogin.com

  2. Reboot Gammu:

Restart-Computer -Force

# Configure Quadra / 10.0.1.8

  1. RDP into quadra:
xfreerdp +clipboard /u:dune\\patreides /p:"ebqMB7DmM81QVUqpf7XI" /v:10.0.1.8 /drive:X,sandworm/Resources/setup/

  1. Open Windows Defender, toggle all knobs to the off position.

  2. Open PowerShell being sure to select Run as Administrator:

cd \\TSCLIENT\X
Set-Executionpolicy bypass -force
.\install_software.ps1
.\enable-winrm.ps1
.\disable-defender.ps1
.\generate-files.exe -d "C:\Users\" -c 50 --seed "EVALS" --noprompt
  1. Reboot
Restart-Computer -Force
