PowerHuntShares is design to automatically inventory, analyze, and report excessive privilege assigned to SMB shares on Active Directory domain joined computers.
It is intented to help IAM and other blue teams gain a better understand of their SMB Share attack surface and provides data insights to help naturally group related share to help stream line remediation efforts at scale.

It supports functionality to:

Authenticate using the current user context, a credential, or clear text user/password.
Discover accessible systems associated with an Active Directory domain automatically. It will also filter Active Directory computers based on available open ports.
Target a single computer, list of computers, or discovered Active Directory computers (default).
Collect SMB share ACL information from target computers using PowerShell.
Analyze collected Share ACL data.
Report summary reports and excessive privilege details in HTML and CSV file formats.

Excessive SMB share ACLs are a systemic problem and an attack surface that all organizations struggle with. The goal of this project is to provide a proof concept that will work towards building a better share collection and data insight engine that can help inform and priorititize remediation efforts.

Bonus Features:

Generate directory listing dump for configurable depth
Search for file types across discovered shares

I've also put together a short presentation outlining some of the common misconfigurations and strategies for prioritizing remediation here: https://www.slideshare.net/nullbind/into-the-abyss-evaluating-active-directory-smb-shares-on-scale-secure360-251762721

Vocabulary

PowerHuntShares will inventory SMB share ACLs configured with "excessive privileges" and highlight "high risk" ACLs. Below is how those are defined in this context.

Excessive Privileges
Excessive read and write share permissions have been defined as any network share ACL containing an explicit ACE (Access Control Entry) for the "Everyone", "Authenticated Users", "BUILTIN\Users", "Domain Users", or "Domain Computers" groups. All provide domain users access to the affected shares due to privilege inheritance issues. Note there is a parameter that allow operators to add their own target groups.
Below is some additional background:

Everyone is a direct reference that applies to both unauthenticated and authenticated users. Typically only a null session is required to access those resources.
BUILTIN\Users contains Authenticated Users
Authenticated Users contains Domain Users on domain joined systems. That's why Domain Users can access a share when the share permissions have been assigned to "BUILTIN\Users".
Domain Users is a direct reference
Domain Users can also create up to 10 computer accounts by default that get placed in the Domain Computers group
Domain Users that have local administrative access to a domain joined computer can also impersonate the computer account.

Please Note: Share permissions can be overruled by NTFS permissions. Also, be aware that testing excluded share names containing the following keywords:

print$, prnproc$, printer, netlogon,and sysvol

High Risk Shares
In the context of this report, high risk shares have been defined as shares that provide unauthorized remote access to a system or application. By default, that includes the shares

 wwwroot, inetpub, c$, and admin$

However, additional exposures may exist that are not called out beyond that.

Setup Commands

Below is a list of commands that can be used to load PowerHuntShares into your current PowerShell session. Please note that one of these will have to be run each time you run PowerShell is run. It is not persistent.

Pending Fixes/Bugs

Update code to avoid defender
Fix file listing formating on data insight pages
IPv6 addresses dont show up in subnets summary
ACLs associated with Builtin\Users sometimes shows up as LocalSystem under undefined conditions, and as a result, doesnt show up in the Excessive Privileges export. - Thanks Sam!

Pending Features

Add ability to specify additional groups to target
Add directory listing to insights page.
Add ability to grab system OS information for data insights.
Add visualization: Visual squares with coloring mapped to share volume density by subnet or ip?.
Add file type search. (half coded) + add to data insights. Don't forget things like *.aws, *.azure *.gcp directories that store cloud credentials.
Add file content search.
Add DontExcludePrintShares option
Add auto targeting of groups that contain a large % of the user population; over 70% (make configurable). Add as option.
Add configuration fid: netlogon and sysvol you may get access denied when using windows 10 unless the setting below is configured. Automat a check for this, and attempt to modify if privs are at correct level. gpedit.msc, go to Computer -> Administrative Templates -> Network -> Network Provider -> Hardened UNC Paths, enable the policy and click "Show" button. Enter your server name (* for all servers) into "Value name" and enter the folowing text "RequireMutualAuthentication=0,RequireIntegrity=0,RequirePrivacy=0" wihtout quotes into the "Value" field.
Add an interesting shares based on names to data insights. example: sql, backup, password, etc.
Add active sessions data to help identify potential owners/users of share.
Pull spns and computer description/spn account descriptions to help identify owner/business unit.
Create bloodhound import file / edge (highrisk share)
Research to identify additional high risk share names based on common technology
Add better support for IPv6
Dynamic identification of spikes in high risk share creation/common groupings, need to better summarize supporting detail beyond just the timeline. For each of the data insights, add average number of shares created for insight grouping by year/month (for folder hash / name etc), and the increase the month/year it spikes. (attempt to provide some historical context); maybe even list the most common non default directories being used by each of those. Potentially adding "first seen date" as well.
add showing share permissions (along with the already displayed NTFS permissions) and resultant access (most restrictive wins)
