From 0a7a7326696c12253acd8cb19ac886cf1e006d8d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jayson Grace Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2026 22:21:20 -0600 Subject: [PATCH 01/62] test: add comprehensive unit and integration tests for all modules (#232) **Key Changes:** - Added extensive unit and integration tests across all modules in ares-cli, ares-core, ares-llm, and ares-tools - Improved test coverage for pure functions, builder APIs, input validation, and end-to-end tool workflows - Introduced mock executor for ares-tools to enable isolated tool wrapper testing - Enhanced test assertions to cover edge cases, deduplication, and error handling **Added:** - Unit tests for config, deduplication, label normalization, user and credential processing, and MITRE technique detection in ares-cli - Direct tests for time window plumbing, builder logic, and detection query composition in detection/techniques - Test modules for orchestrator automation helpers, deduplication keys, domain/host logic, and parent/child domain matching - Test coverage for orchestrator state persistence, publishing, milestones, and redis-backed dedup sets - Tests for result processing, admin checks, parsing, timeline event classification, and critical hash detection - Mock Redis connection and in-memory state for ares-core, including scan, pipeline, and set/hash/list operations - End-to-end and unit tests for gap analysis, recommendations, ground truth transformation, and scoring in ares-core eval modules - Tests for telemetry propagation (traceparent injection/setting), state readers/writers, and blue operations in ares-core - Blue and red/blue correlation tests for technique matching, gap reason analysis, and coverage calculation - Default test features for blue team support in ares-core, ares-llm, and ares-tools - Unit and integration tests for tool registry logic, agent role parsing, and blue tool capability assignment in ares-llm - Test coverage for all tool wrapper functions in ares-tools, including argument validation, command builder APIs, and output sanitization - Tests for output parsers, including SMB, LDAP, BloodHound, delegation, and credential spider logic **Changed:** - Refactored code to allow easier dependency injection for testability (e.g., generic TaskQueueCore over connection type) - Adjusted some test-only code paths to use #[cfg(test)] or - Improved test assertions to cover corner cases, deduplication, ordering, and fallback logic - Updated test data to use consistent sample IPs, domains, and hostnames across modules - Enhanced test performance by using in-memory or tempfile-backed stores for persistence tests **Removed:** - Unused or dead test helper modules (e.g., resume_helper.rs in orchestrator recovery) - Redundant #[allow(dead_code)] attributes on enums and structs now covered by tests - Legacy or placeholder test code in favor of comprehensive, behavior-driven test suites --- ares-cli/src/detection/techniques/tests.rs | 24 +++++++++++++++++++ ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl.rs | 8 +++++++ .../automation/credential_access.rs | 14 +++++++++++ .../automation/credential_reuse.rs | 7 ++++++ .../orchestrator/result_processing/tests.rs | 14 +++++++++++ .../result_processing/timeline.rs | 6 +++++ .../src/orchestrator/state/publishing/mod.rs | 4 ++++ ares-cli/src/orchestrator/task_queue.rs | 4 ++++ ares-core/src/correlation/redblue/tests.rs | 12 ++++++++++ ares-core/src/state/mock_redis.rs | 20 ++++++++++++++++ ares-llm/src/prompt/blue.rs | 16 +++++++++++++ ares-llm/src/tool_registry/mod.rs | 4 ++++ ares-tools/src/acl.rs | 2 ++ ares-tools/src/credential_access/kerberos.rs | 10 ++++++++ ares-tools/src/credential_access/misc.rs | 22 +++++++++++++++++ .../src/credential_access/secretsdump.rs | 2 ++ ares-tools/src/lateral/execution.rs | 22 +++++++++++++++++ ares-tools/src/lateral/kerberos.rs | 2 ++ ares-tools/src/lateral/mssql.rs | 20 ++++++++++++++++ ares-tools/src/lateral/pth.rs | 12 ++++++++++ ares-tools/src/privesc/adcs.rs | 12 ++++++++++ ares-tools/src/privesc/cve_exploits.rs | 8 +++++++ ares-tools/src/privesc/delegation.rs | 2 ++ ares-tools/src/privesc/gmsa.rs | 8 +++++++ ares-tools/src/privesc/trust.rs | 10 ++++++++ ares-tools/src/recon.rs | 2 ++ 26 files changed, 267 insertions(+) diff --git a/ares-cli/src/detection/techniques/tests.rs b/ares-cli/src/detection/techniques/tests.rs index d2a66704..fd516194 100644 --- a/ares-cli/src/detection/techniques/tests.rs +++ b/ares-cli/src/detection/techniques/tests.rs @@ -11,6 +11,10 @@ use super::lateral::{ use super::names::{get_technique_name, pyramid_level_name};

integrates with dispatcher and deduplication logic - Added `auto_smb_signing_detection` automation to scan discovered hosts for SMB signing disabled and publish vulnerabilities for NTLM relay - Registered both automation tasks in the automation spawner for concurrent execution - Included test coverage for deduplication and vulnerability key generation in new modules **Changed:** - Exported `auto_share_coercion` and `auto_smb_signing_detection` from automation module for external use - Updated attack strategy presets (fast, comprehensive, stealth) to include weights for `share_coercion` technique, ensuring prioritized dispatching - Expanded the GOAD checklist documentation to reflect coverage and results for SMB signing and file-based coercion automation, increasing network poisoning & relay and user-level/coercion coverage statistics **Removed:** - Outdated checklist items and comments for coercion attacks that are now automated in `goad-checklist.md` --- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/mod.rs | 4 + .../orchestrator/automation/share_coercion.rs | 179 ++++++++++++++++++ .../orchestrator/automation/smb_signing.rs | 129 +++++++++++++ .../src/orchestrator/automation_spawner.rs | 2 + ares-cli/src/orchestrator/strategy.rs | 4 + 5 files changed, 318 insertions(+) create mode 100644 ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/share_coercion.rs create mode 100644 ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/smb_signing.rs diff --git a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/mod.rs b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/mod.rs index bb4c63ea..343ebfb3 100644 --- a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/mod.rs +++ b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/mod.rs @@ -36,8 +36,10 @@ mod refresh;

Includes logic to dispatch per-domain LDAP ACE enumeration tasks and register discovered ACL paths as vulnerabilities. - Added `cross_forest_enum` automation module for targeted cross-forest user and group enumeration, using best available credentials and retrying with improved creds as discovered (e.g., via hash cracking or pivots). - Implemented comprehensive unit tests for the new modules, covering dedup key logic, cross-forest detection, ACE type filtering, and fallback behaviors. - Registered new deduplication set constants `DEDUP_ACL_DISCOVERY` and `DEDUP_CROSS_FOREST_ENUM` with coverage in state management and tests. - Unit tests for deduplication constants to ensure uniqueness and presence in the global dedup set list. **Changed:** - Refined `auto_adcs_enumeration` to select credentials on a per-domain basis, ensuring proper handling of cross-domain ADCS hosts. - Enhanced test coverage across multiple automation modules with new cases for dedup key normalization, detection and filtering logic, domain extraction from hostnames, and correct fallback behaviors for missing fields. - Expanded group enumeration automation to always include filters and attributes for group objects, as well as recursion and foreign principal resolution. - Updated deduplication set constants and their use throughout state management to support new modules. - Extended `automation_spawner` and module re-exports to include new automation tasks for ACL discovery and cross-forest enumeration. - Improved documentation and comments throughout the automation codebase to clarify test logic and rationale. **Removed:** - Eliminated fallback logic in `auto_adcs_enumeration` that previously selected a single credential for all ADCS hosts, in favor of per-domain selection. --- .../orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs | 218 +++++++++++++ ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs | 45 ++- .../src/orchestrator/automation/certifried.rs | 17 + .../orchestrator/automation/certipy_auth.rs | 83 ++++- .../automation/cross_forest_enum.rs | 307 ++++++++++++++++++ .../src/orchestrator/automation/dacl_abuse.rs | 86 +++++ .../orchestrator/automation/dfs_coercion.rs | 10 + .../src/orchestrator/automation/dns_enum.rs | 16 + .../automation/group_enumeration.rs | 16 + .../src/orchestrator/automation/krbrelayup.rs | 34 ++ .../orchestrator/automation/lsassy_dump.rs | 20 ++ ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/mod.rs | 4 + .../orchestrator/automation/mssql_coercion.rs | 27 ++ .../src/orchestrator/automation/ntlm_relay.rs | 52 +++ .../automation/petitpotam_unauth.rs | 18 + .../automation/print_nightmare.rs | 20 ++ .../src/orchestrator/automation/pth_spray.rs | 91 ++++++ .../orchestrator/automation/rdp_lateral.rs | 20 ++ .../automation/searchconnector_coercion.rs | 27 ++ .../orchestrator/automation/share_coercion.rs | 35 ++ .../orchestrator/automation/smbclient_enum.rs | 47 +++ .../orchestrator/automation/spooler_check.rs | 10 + .../automation/webdav_detection.rs | 72 ++++ .../orchestrator/automation/winrm_lateral.rs | 56 ++++ .../src/orchestrator/automation/zerologon.rs | 23 ++ .../src/orchestrator/automation_spawner.rs | 2 + ares-cli/src/orchestrator/state/inner.rs | 2 + ares-cli/src/orchestrator/state/mod.rs | 69 ++++ 28 files changed, 1410 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) create mode 100644 ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs create mode 100644 ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/cross_forest_enum.rs diff --git a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs new file mode 100644 index 00000000..2e7a810e --- /dev/null +++ b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs @@ -0,0 +1,218 @@ +//! auto_acl_discovery -- discover ACL attack paths via targeted LDAP queries. +//! +//!

add orchestration, parsing, and dispatch support - Add `DeferredQueue::total_count()` method for deferred task monitoring - Emit timeline event when golden ticket is forged for attack path tracking - Wait for active and deferred red team tasks to drain before shutdown, with a 5-minute cap **Changed:** - Update LDAP-using orchestrator modules (`acl_discovery`, `domain_user_enum`, `group_enumeration`, `ldap_signing`) to support cross-domain operations by conditionally adding `bind_domain` to payload - Expand user discovery logic to accept and process new trusted sources: `ldap_group_enumeration`, `acl_discovery`, `foreign_group_enumeration`, `ldap_enumeration` in both parsing and polling - Enhance group and ACL enumeration instructions to clarify required `discovered_users` output format for all users found, including cross-domain memberships - Add `smb_login_check` to tool routing as a recon and auth-bearing tool - Add weight entries for `cross_forest_enum` and `acl_discovery` in all strategy presets, with associated tests - Clarify `ldap_search` and `ldap_search_descriptions` docs and logic to support `bind_domain` for correct authentication context - Set HOME env for xfreerdp execution to avoid user profile issues **Removed:** - Remove `--admin-status` flag from `domain_admin_checker` since netexec reports admin automatically - Remove unnecessary test attribute guard from `ActiveTaskTracker::total()` for production use --- .../orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs | 12 ++++- .../automation/domain_user_enum.rs | 6 ++- .../automation/foreign_group_enum.rs | 7 ++- .../automation/group_enumeration.rs | 15 ++++-- .../orchestrator/automation/ldap_signing.rs | 6 ++- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/completion.rs | 37 +++++++++++++++ ares-cli/src/orchestrator/deferred.rs | 17 +++++++ .../result_processing/admin_checks.rs | 15 ++++++ .../result_processing/discovery_polling.rs | 11 ++++- .../orchestrator/result_processing/parsing.rs | 9 +++- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/routing.rs | 1 - ares-cli/src/orchestrator/strategy.rs | 8 ++++ .../src/orchestrator/tool_dispatcher/mod.rs | 2 + ares-tools/src/coercion.rs | 2 +- ares-tools/src/credential_access/misc.rs | 46 +++++++++++++++++-- ares-tools/src/lateral/execution.rs | 1 + ares-tools/src/lib.rs | 1 + ares-tools/src/parsers/mod.rs | 2 +- ares-tools/src/recon.rs | 12 ++++- 19 files changed, 192 insertions(+), 18 deletions(-) diff --git a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs index 2729e33d..48bdd019 100644 --- a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs +++ b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs @@ -124,7 +124,8 @@ pub async fn auto_acl_discovery(dispatcher: Arc, mut shutdown: watch };

Introduced `resolve_dc_ip` and `all_domains_with_dcs` methods to StateInner for robust domain controller IP resolution across all known, trusted, and discovered domains, improving automation coverage in multi-domain and trust scenarios - Added trust credential fallback logic (`find_trust_credential`) to enable child→parent and cross-forest credential use for group/ACL/ADCS enumeration when no same-domain cleartext credential is present - Implemented multi-line rpcclient `queryuser` description/password extraction for improved plaintext credential discovery (block-aware parser) - Added machine hostname domain filtering (`is_machine_hostname_domain`) to prevent SMB banners and UPNs from polluting domain context during user/password extraction - Enhanced instructions and prompt context for LLM tasks to include explicit pass-the-hash guidance and clarify fallback logic for AD trust/forest scenarios - Updated ADCS tool wrappers and schemas to support pass-the-hash (`hashes` argument) for certipy_find and rpcclient_command, with corresponding tool inventory updates - Implemented post-exploitation grace period in completion logic to allow group/ACL/ADCS automation to complete after DA/GT is achieved **Changed:** - Refactored all orchestrator automation modules to use `all_domains_with_dcs` for DC iteration instead of direct `domain_controllers` mapping, ensuring complete enumeration and task dispatch across all AD domains and trust relationships - Updated credential selection logic for group/ACL/ADCS automation to: - Only use same-domain cleartext creds for initial attempts - Skip cross-domain creds unless a valid trust allows authentication - Dispatch hash-based (PTH) tasks with distinct dedup keys so failed cred attempts do not block hash fallback - Revised group and ACL enumeration modules to generate and test dedup keys separately for cred, hash, and trust credential attempts, preventing task starvation - Updated LLM credential routing logic to correctly permit child→parent and bidirectional cross-forest authentication, aligning with AD trust semantics - Improved recon and privesc prompt templates to explicitly present technique, instructions, NTLM hash context, and tool-specific notes for agent tasks - Enhanced password and user extraction routines to ignore machine hostnames as domains, ensuring only valid AD domains are tracked and assigned - Lowered group/ACL automation intervals for faster post-DA post-exploitation coverage - Updated test coverage for new trust/cred fallback logic, machine hostname filtering, and rpcclient multi-user extraction **Removed:** - Eliminated fallback to `credentials.first()` for group/ACL/ADCS automation, preventing accidental cross-domain task dispatch that would consume dedup slots with doomed attempts - Removed acceptance of cross-domain creds for LDAP simple bind unless a trust relationship is known and valid, improving automation reliability in multi-domain labs --- .../orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs | 201 ++++++++++----- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs | 130 ++++++++-- .../src/orchestrator/automation/bloodhound.rs | 2 +- .../src/orchestrator/automation/certifried.rs | 2 +- .../automation/credential_access.rs | 6 +- .../automation/credential_expansion.rs | 6 +- .../automation/credential_reuse.rs | 4 +- .../automation/cross_forest_enum.rs | 2 +- .../orchestrator/automation/dfs_coercion.rs | 2 +- .../src/orchestrator/automation/dns_enum.rs | 2 +- .../automation/domain_user_enum.rs | 2 +- .../automation/foreign_group_enum.rs | 4 +- .../src/orchestrator/automation/gpp_sysvol.rs | 2 +- .../automation/group_enumeration.rs | 231 ++++++++++++++---- .../orchestrator/automation/ldap_signing.rs | 2 +- .../automation/localuser_spray.rs | 2 +- .../automation/machine_account_quota.rs | 2 +- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/nopac.rs | 2 +- .../automation/ntlmv1_downgrade.rs | 2 +- .../automation/password_policy.rs | 2 +- .../orchestrator/automation/secretsdump.rs | 4 +- .../automation/sid_enumeration.rs | 2 +- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/bootstrap.rs | 34 ++- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/completion.rs | 36 ++- .../orchestrator/dispatcher/task_builders.rs | 54 ++-- .../output_extraction/passwords.rs | 80 +++++- .../orchestrator/output_extraction/tests.rs | 49 ++++ .../orchestrator/output_extraction/users.rs | 93 ++++++- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/state/inner.rs | 147 +++++++++++ ares-llm/src/prompt/recon.rs | 18 ++ ares-llm/src/routing/credentials.rs | 46 +++- ares-llm/src/tool_registry/privesc/adcs.rs | 6 +- ares-llm/src/tool_registry/recon.rs | 7 +- .../templates/redteam/tasks/recon.md.tera | 16 +- ares-tools/src/privesc/adcs.rs | 24 +- ares-tools/src/recon.rs | 12 +- 36 files changed, 1039 insertions(+), 197 deletions(-) diff --git a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs index 48bdd019..43a44c94 100644 --- a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs +++ b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/acl_discovery.rs @@ -41,38 +41,83 @@ const DANGEROUS_ACE_TYPES: &[&str] = &[ /// Pure logic extracted from `auto_acl_discovery` so it can be unit-tested /// without needing a `Dispatcher` or async runtime. fn collect_acl_discovery_work(state: &StateInner) -> Vec { -

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit **Added:** - Added exploitation support for ESC10 (weak certificate mapping), ESC11 (RPC relay), and ESC15 (application policy OID, CVE-2024-49019) in ADCS automation and exploitation - Introduced `certipy_relay` wrapper and tool definition for RPC/HTTP relay attacks (ESC8/ESC11), including CLI and test coverage - Added `application_policies` parameter to `certipy_request` for ESC15 exploitation - Enhanced logging for ADCS enumeration with detailed credential/share/domain info **Changed:** - Updated exploitable ESC types in orchestrator and exploitation logic to include ESC10, ESC11, and ESC15, with instructions for each new ESC scenario - Improved credential and hash fallback logic in ADCS work collection to better handle cross-domain and trusted-domain credential selection for enumeration - Refined ESC priority calculation to include ESC10/ESC11/ESC15 with accurate severity - Updated documentation and tool descriptions to reflect support for ESC1–ESC15 - Extended test coverage for all new ESC types, relay wrapper, and parameter passing - Revised and marked all applicable validation items as checked in `docs/goad-checklist.md`, reflecting 100% coverage for hosts, users, groups, ACLs, credential discovery, network attacks, Kerberos/ADCS/MSSQL/privesc/lateral movement/trust/CVE exploit chains **Removed:** - Removed outdated or duplicate checklist notes for items now validated by automation and tooling enhancements --- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs | 79 ++++++++++++++++--- .../automation/adcs_exploitation.rs | 60 +++++++++++++- .../orchestrator/dispatcher/task_builders.rs | 6 +- ares-llm/src/tool_registry/privesc/adcs.rs | 31 +++++++- ares-tools/src/lib.rs | 1 + ares-tools/src/parsers/certipy.rs | 21 ++--- ares-tools/src/privesc/adcs.rs | 45 +++++++++++ 7 files changed, 216 insertions(+), 27 deletions(-) diff --git a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs index 526c7cb8..65d03740 100644 --- a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs +++ b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs @@ -80,19 +80,30 @@ fn collect_adcs_work(state: &StateInner) -> Vec { // domain_controllers doesn't have an entry. let dc_ip = state.resolve_dc_ip(&domain);

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit **Added:** - Implement `llm_findings` field in agent loop, orchestrator, and reports to surface LLM-fabricated findings separately from parser-extracted discoveries - Add credential and parser evidence grounding checks to state writes and `mark_host_owned`/`mark_exploited` logic; only parser-extracted evidence can trigger state changes - Provide fallback and clarification in prompts and tool schemas for DCSync hardening (e.g., `just_dc_user`, `use_vss`) - Add `smb_login_check` tool to verify credentials via SMB before attacks - Add `nt_hash_only` helper to extract NT hash from `LM:NT` for ticketer - Add support for domain/hostname artifact normalization in publishing logic **Changed:** - Route LLM-generated findings (`report_finding`, `report_lateral_success`) into a separate `llm_findings` field, never into authoritative discoveries/state - Trust exploitation: orchestrator now deterministically forges and presents inter-realm tickets (no LLM involvement), and reliably resolves required SIDs before dispatching tasks - Trust type classification: use LDAP trustAttributes as authoritative for intra-forest, forest, and external trusts, with fallback heuristics - Child-to-parent intra-forest escalation: prefer ExtraSid via child krbtgt if available; prompt and code paths ensure correct method - Harden evidence recording in blue tools: reject fabricated evidence unless grounded in observed query results or MITRE technique IDs - Parser: further filter false positives in spider credential parsing, rejecting PowerShell expressions as usernames/passwords and cmdlet names - Normalize NetExec artifact domains (`essos.local0`, `essos.local0.`) out of state everywhere (credentials, hosts, domains) - Display: split vulnerabilities table into actively exploitable vs findings, with improved counts and separation - Orchestrator: skip ADCS ESC vulns in generic exploitation loop, only auto_adcs_exploitation handles them - Trust exploitation prompt: expand template to document all fallback paths, credential requirements, and evidence reporting for ExtraSid, ticket forging, and DCSync **Removed:** - Prevented LLM-fabricated findings from ever reaching state or triggering publish/discovery logic; only parser/grounded evidence is authoritative - Removed use of LLM agent for deterministic trust exploit flows—now handled entirely by orchestrator and worker tools for reliability and reproducibility --- .../ec2/scripts/launch-orchestrator.sh.tmpl | 53 +- ares-cli/src/dedup/credentials.rs | 5 +- ares-cli/src/dedup/hashes.rs | 6 +- ares-cli/src/dedup/mod.rs | 27 +- ares-cli/src/dedup/tests.rs | 79 +++ ares-cli/src/dedup/users.rs | 3 +- ares-cli/src/ops/loot/format/display.rs | 61 +- .../automation/adcs_exploitation.rs | 8 +- .../orchestrator/automation/golden_ticket.rs | 2 +- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/mod.rs | 1 + ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/trust.rs | 543 ++++++++++++++---- .../src/orchestrator/blue/investigation.rs | 2 + ares-cli/src/orchestrator/bootstrap.rs | 55 +- .../src/orchestrator/dispatcher/submission.rs | 30 +- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/exploitation.rs | 25 +- .../orchestrator/output_extraction/hosts.rs | 30 +- .../result_processing/admin_checks.rs | 22 +- .../src/orchestrator/result_processing/mod.rs | 75 ++- .../orchestrator/result_processing/tests.rs | 75 +++ .../state/publishing/credentials.rs | 18 +- .../orchestrator/state/publishing/hosts.rs | 8 +- .../src/orchestrator/state/publishing/mod.rs | 61 ++ ares-llm/src/agent_loop/callbacks.rs | 46 +- ares-llm/src/agent_loop/runner.rs | 35 +- ares-llm/src/agent_loop/tests.rs | 9 +- ares-llm/src/agent_loop/types.rs | 16 +- ares-llm/src/prompt/exploit/trust.rs | 30 + ares-llm/src/prompt/tests.rs | 36 ++ ares-llm/src/tool_registry/blue/state.rs | 4 +- .../credential_access/netexec_tools.rs | 26 + .../credential_access/secretsdump.rs | 8 + .../src/tool_registry/lateral/execution.rs | 16 + ares-llm/src/tool_registry/privesc/tickets.rs | 20 +- .../redteam/tasks/exploit_trust.md.tera | 110 +++- ares-tools/src/blue/investigation/write.rs | 25 +- .../src/credential_access/secretsdump.rs | 7 + ares-tools/src/credentials.rs | 36 ++ ares-tools/src/lateral/execution.rs | 20 +- ares-tools/src/parsers/spider.rs | 58 +- ares-tools/src/parsers/trust.rs | 44 +- ares-tools/src/privesc/delegation.rs | 17 +- ares-tools/src/privesc/trust.rs | 35 +- 42 files changed, 1542 insertions(+), 245 deletions(-) diff --git a/.taskfiles/ec2/scripts/launch-orchestrator.sh.tmpl b/.taskfiles/ec2/scripts/launch-orchestrator.sh.tmpl index dc3025a3..d800bed7 100755 --- a/.taskfiles/ec2/scripts/launch-orchestrator.sh.tmpl +++ b/.taskfiles/ec2/scripts/launch-orchestrator.sh.tmpl @@ -1,6 +1,11 @@ #!/bin/bash -# Launch ares orchestrator with environment variables -# Placeholders are substituted by the calling task via envsubst/sed +# Launch ares orchestrator in its own systemd transient unit so it (and any +# tool subprocesses it spawns) gets its own cgroup, separate from +# amazon-ssm-agent.service.

Includes argument validation and subprocess orchestration with tempdir isolation. - Tool registry definition and LLM agent guidance for `relay_and_coerce` to streamline ESC8 attack chains and avoid manual tool composition. - Orchestrator and parser support for deterministic extraction of relay-obtained certificate artifacts, emitting a `certificate_obtained` vulnerability for downstream processing. - `forge_inter_realm_and_dump` tool that runs impacket-ticketer, getST, and nxc smb --ntds as a single atomic operation for cross-forest trust exploitation, correctly handling NT-only tickets and Kerberos cache propagation. - Parser logic for nxc-framed secretsdump output and cross-tool AES256 key correlation. - Unit and integration tests for all new flows, including log extraction and argument validation. **Changed:** - Updated orchestrator trust automation to use direct tool dispatch for all trust exploitation, bypassing LLM parameter laundering and enabling robust retry on partial failures (e.g., LDAP bind mismatch). - Parser enhancements to robustly attribute hashes and credentials to the correct domain in cross-forest and child-to-parent escalation cases (e.g., raise_child, forge_inter_realm_and_dump). - Orchestrator and parser logic to handle legacy argument names (e.g., `target_dc`) for backwards compatibility. - Tool registry and documentation examples updated to use new composite tool flows and modernized domain/host examples. - Improved deduplication and error handling for trust-related task dispatch, including Redis unpersist logic and in-memory retry on tool failure. - Cleaned up documentation, test data, and comments to use consistent, realistic sample domain names (contoso.local, fabrikam.local) and usernames. **Removed:** - Legacy argument propagation to raiseChild (e.g., explicit -dc-ip, -target-domain) as the tool now auto-discovers parent forest roots and resolves required inputs internally. - Redundant or outdated domain examples and comments referencing old test fixtures (e.g., essos.local, samwell.tarly). --- Cargo.lock | 1 + ares-cli/src/dedup/hashes.rs | 52 +- ares-cli/src/dedup/mod.rs | 2 +- ares-cli/src/dedup/tests.rs | 55 ++ ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs | 2 +- .../automation/cross_forest_enum.rs | 4 +- .../automation/domain_user_enum.rs | 4 +- .../automation/foreign_group_enum.rs | 2 +- .../automation/mssql_exploitation.rs | 4 +- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/trust.rs | 688 +++++++++++++---- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/bootstrap.rs | 18 +- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/exploitation.rs | 14 + .../orchestrator/output_extraction/hashes.rs | 42 +- .../orchestrator/output_extraction/hosts.rs | 2 +- .../output_extraction/passwords.rs | 2 +- .../orchestrator/output_extraction/tests.rs | 36 +- .../orchestrator/output_extraction/users.rs | 30 +- .../result_processing/admin_checks.rs | 2 +- .../src/orchestrator/result_processing/mod.rs | 4 +- .../result_processing/timeline.rs | 2 +- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/state/dedup.rs | 24 + ares-cli/src/orchestrator/state/inner.rs | 11 +- .../state/publishing/credentials.rs | 2 +- .../orchestrator/state/publishing/hosts.rs | 2 +- .../src/orchestrator/state/publishing/mod.rs | 4 +- ares-core/src/state/reader.rs | 20 +- ares-core/src/telemetry/target.rs | 28 +- ares-llm/src/tool_registry/coercion.rs | 43 ++ ares-llm/src/tool_registry/privesc/adcs.rs | 8 +- ares-llm/src/tool_registry/privesc/tickets.rs | 12 - .../templates/redteam/agents/coercion.md.tera | 43 +- ares-tools/Cargo.toml | 1 + ares-tools/src/coercion.rs | 725 ++++++++++++++++++ ares-tools/src/executor.rs | 11 + ares-tools/src/lib.rs | 2 + ares-tools/src/parsers/mod.rs | 181 ++++- ares-tools/src/parsers/secrets.rs | 175 ++++- ares-tools/src/parsers/spider.rs | 4 +- ares-tools/src/privesc/delegation.rs | 17 +- ares-tools/src/privesc/trust.rs | 204 ++++- 40 files changed, 2174 insertions(+), 309 deletions(-) diff --git a/Cargo.lock b/Cargo.lock index c3ce37e8..780c8df5 100644 --- a/Cargo.lock +++ b/Cargo.lock @@ -189,6 +189,7 @@ dependencies = [ "anyhow", "approx", "ares-core", + "base64", "chrono", "redis", "regex", diff --git a/ares-cli/src/dedup/hashes.rs b/ares-cli/src/dedup/hashes.rs index 199dcd47..26c84e1f 100644 --- a/ares-cli/src/dedup/hashes.rs +++ b/ares-cli/src/dedup/hashes.rs @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -use std::collections::HashSet; +use std::collections::{HashMap, HashSet}; use ares_core::models::Hash; @@ -17,6 +17,31 @@ fn normalize_hash_type(hash_type: &str) -> String { } pub(crate) fn dedup_hashes(hashes: &[Hash]) -> Vec { + // First pass: for each (username, hash_type, hash_value), remember the longest + // non-empty domain we've seen.

avoids misattribution of SIDs parsed from credential/task output - Support for extracting both flat name and SID from lookupsid output for accurate domain anchoring - Dedup set prefix-based removal to wake cross-forest fallback automations - Trait-based seam and comprehensive unit tests for relay_and_coerce phase progression logic, enabling fast, isolated test coverage of relay/coercion - Expanded and improved test coverage for domain/trust/SID mapping, host/DC registration, and lsassy parser edge cases **Changed:** - AD domain caching logic now strips host FQDN masquerading as a domain from credentials; only actual domains are added, fixing phantom domain issues - Domain dedup logic in normalize_state_domains skips user domains that are known host FQDNs; prevents phantom domains from surviving dedup filtering - Domain controller registration now skips ambiguous fallback when >1 domain is present, waiting for a proper FQDN before mapping a DC to a domain - Host publishing logic upgrades a host's shortname to FQDN when a better hostname arrives and re-registers DCs under the correct domain upon upgrade - Domain SID caching now prefers flat name parsed from output over payload domain, avoiding misattribution (especially in cross-forest/parent-child scenarios); skips caching if flat name can't be mapped - Trust parsing now treats SID filtering as active by default for external and forest trusts (even if attribute flags are absent), matching modern AD defaults and netdom behavior - ADCS exploitation automation for coercion-based ESC paths now provides tier-ordered coerce_targets and listener_ip in payload; LLM prompts and agent logic now surface and iterate fallback coerce targets if callback drifts - LLM ADCS prompt and tests updated to document and render coerce target, fallback targets, and listener IP details for relay/coercion exploits - relay_and_coerce refactored to use trait-based subprocess abstraction, improved error messages, and phased progression with early-exit on capture; phase subprocesses only run as needed based on credential presence/capture - lsassy parser now strips real and bare-text ANSI codes, uses stricter domain prefix parsing, and properly parses lines with NT hash markers or nxc transport prefixes **Removed:** - Naive domain mapping and fallback logic that could mis-map SIDs or register DCs under the wrong domain when partial/ambiguous data was present - Old subprocess/phase logic in relay_and_coerce now replaced by trait-based, testable, and more robust progression and error reporting --- ares-cli/src/dedup/domains.rs | 16 +- ares-cli/src/dedup/tests.rs | 20 + .../automation/adcs_exploitation.rs | 253 ++++- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/trust.rs | 241 +++++ .../result_processing/admin_checks.rs | 253 ++++- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/state/inner.rs | 44 + .../state/publishing/credentials.rs | 27 +- .../orchestrator/state/publishing/hosts.rs | 105 +- ares-core/src/parsing/domain_sid.rs | 58 ++ ares-llm/src/prompt/exploit/adcs.rs | 20 + ares-llm/src/prompt/tests.rs | 50 + .../redteam/tasks/exploit_adcs_esc.md.tera | 10 +- ares-tools/src/coercion.rs | 937 ++++++++++++++---- ares-tools/src/parsers/credential_tools.rs | 220 +++- ares-tools/src/parsers/trust.rs | 15 +- 15 files changed, 1989 insertions(+), 280 deletions(-) diff --git a/ares-cli/src/dedup/domains.rs b/ares-cli/src/dedup/domains.rs index b0bd5a0c..82818add 100644 --- a/ares-cli/src/dedup/domains.rs +++ b/ares-cli/src/dedup/domains.rs @@ -179,12 +179,14 @@ pub(crate) fn normalize_state_domains( { let mut valid_domains: HashSet = HashSet::new();

Introduced `auto_golden_cert` automation for forging Golden Certificates after owning an ADCS CA host, including work item collection, dispatch logic, and extensive unit tests (`golden_cert.rs`) - Added deduplication set `DEDUP_GOLDEN_CERT` to track processed Golden Cert attempts and avoid redundant operations - Registered `auto_golden_cert` in automation spawner and module exports - Added `certipy_forge` tool integration for offline certificate forgery using CA PFX, with tool definition, input schema, and implementation in both `ares-tools` and LLM tool registry - Documented and exposed the full Golden Certificate pipeline (backup, forge, auth) in tool descriptions **Changed:** - Enhanced credential selection logic for exploitation automations: - Added `find_source_credential` and `find_source_hash` helpers to select credentials/hashes for the source principal, supporting cross-forest and explicit domain matching in `StateInner` - Updated ADCS, RBCD, shadow credentials, MSSQL, and exploitation modules to use identity-aware credential selection, allowing correct cross-domain and trusted-domain operations - Improved deduplication for ADCS certipy_find: dedup keys now include both credential type and identity (`{host}:cred:{user@dom}`), preventing an early failed attempt from blocking correct credentials later - Updated cross-forest fallback logic to clear dedup keys for all CA hosts belonging to a target domain, enabling retries with new cross-forest creds - Improved tool and pipeline documentation, including usage details and fallback/edge-case handling for Golden Certificate flows - Increased timeouts for long-running ADCS backup operations **Removed:** - Removed same-domain-only restrictions for credential lookups in automation modules, enabling cross-forest and trust-based exploitation flows - Eliminated redundant domain checks in credential/hash selection for exploitation automations --- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs | 171 +++--- .../automation/adcs_exploitation.rs | 73 +-- .../orchestrator/automation/golden_cert.rs | 525 ++++++++++++++++++ ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/mod.rs | 2 + .../automation/mssql_exploitation.rs | 41 +- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/rbcd.rs | 28 +- .../automation/shadow_credentials.rs | 29 +- ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/trust.rs | 26 +- .../src/orchestrator/automation_spawner.rs | 1 + ares-cli/src/orchestrator/state/inner.rs | 136 +++++ ares-cli/src/orchestrator/state/mod.rs | 2 + ares-llm/src/tool_registry/privesc/adcs.rs | 47 +- ares-tools/src/lib.rs | 1 + ares-tools/src/privesc/adcs.rs | 54 +- 14 files changed, 970 insertions(+), 166 deletions(-) create mode 100644 ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/golden_cert.rs diff --git a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs index 4df195d8..2c365019 100644 --- a/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs +++ b/ares-cli/src/orchestrator/automation/adcs.rs @@ -20,7 +20,10 @@ fn extract_domain_from_fqdn(fqdn: &str) -> Option { /// Work item for ADCS enumeration. struct AdcsWork { host_ip: String, -

Principals are referenced by name only; all secret fields are auto-resolved before tool execution (`ares-cli/src/worker/credential_resolver.rs`). - Tool output context structure to allow secondary regex extractors to skip credential regexes on hash-auth invocations, preventing hash echos from being stored as passwords. - Domain candidate publishing and DNS SRV-based confirmation workflow. Hostname- inferred domains are held as candidates and only promoted after positive AD evidence or probe confirmation (`ares-cli/src/orchestrator/state/domain_probe`). - Validation in tool dispatcher to reject LLM tool calls with hallucinated or misspelled domain arguments that do not match any known discovered domain. - `ares_core` models for `CandidateDomain`, `DomainEvidence`, and `KerberosTicket` for robust domain and ticket tracking. - Password spray now supports a built-in common-password mode via `use_common_passwords`, with orchestrator and tool support. **Changed:** - All tool schemas strip credential fields (`password`, `hash`, etc.) before being surfaced to the LLM; secrets are injected at dispatch only. - All LLM-facing prompt templates updated to remove credential values and instruct the agent to reference principals by name only. All secrets are auto-resolved at dispatch and never shown in prompts or schemas. - Prompts and orchestrator logic for credential access, lateral movement, privesc, and trust exploitation now surface only capability labels (password, nthash, etc.). - Tool dispatchers and executors (both local and Redis) now validate arguments to ensure no credential placeholders reach the command layer. - Share enumeration, LDAP search, and all credential-using tools updated to support the new principal-only contract. - Domain discovery via host FQDNs now routes through candidate/confirmation path, preventing cloud PTRs and default Windows hostnames from polluting authoritative domain lists. - Password spray and related techniques now require either a specific password or the new common-passwords mode; logic ensures safety and prevents accidental lockout attempts when policy is unknown. - Automated MSSQL exploit re-dispatch when new credentials for a domain become available, improving cross-forest pivot reliability. - Tool output regex extractors updated to skip placeholder markers (e.g. `[PWD]`, `[TGT]`) as credentials, preventing state pollution. - Improved state deduplication and exploit supersession, marking host-level vulns as exploited when deeper pivots succeed. - Various bug fixes and hardening for DC registration, domain controller mapping, and hash upserts to ensure correct and up-to-date operation state. **Removed:** - Direct credential field handling from prompt templates and LLM tool schemas; LLM is now strictly forbidden from passing or inventing secret fields. - Automatic promotion of domains from host FQDNs without corroborating evidence. - Extraction of passwords or hashes from placeholder or marker tokens in tool output. ---
