scripts

• lyncsmash.py - enumerate users via auth timing bug while brute forcing, lock accounts, locate lync installs
• find_domain.sh - example of how to use Nmap with http-ntlm-info script to discover internal NetBIOS & domain names
• brute_force_ntlm.sh - example of a brute force attack against Skype/Lync using Medusa

wordlists

• skype-directories.txt - a listing of directories that may have NTLM-auth enabled
• alexa-top-20000-sites.txt - a listing of the top 20,000 Alexa sites - to be used with discover mode

If you're looking for username lists, I highly recommend 'Statistically Likely Usernames': https://github.com/insidetrust/statistically-likely-usernames.git

using lyncsmash.py

lyncsmash has three operating modes:

• enum - use to enumerate users via the auth timing attack
• discover - will take a list of domains and determine which use Skype for Business/Lync
• lock - make repeated bad authentication attempts in order to lock out an account

lyncsmash.py enum - enumerate users

** WARNING: THIS PERFORMS A DOMAIN LOGIN ATTEMPT AND CAN LOCK OUT ACCOUNTS **

Parameters:
    -H	hostname
    -U	username list
    -p  password
    -P  password list
    -d	domain

In this mode lyncsmash will enumerate usernames via a timing attack, using the Webticket service located on the Lync Front-End server. If a bad username and/or domain is specified, the response will be long. If it is a valid user, the response will be short. Due to limitations of the timing-attack, this can only be run single-thraded.

usage:

python lyncsmash.py enum -H 2013-lync-fe.contoso.com -U usernamelist.txt -P passwordlist.txt -d CONTOSO

or

python lyncsmash.py enum -H 2013-lync-fe.contoso.com -U usernamelist.txt -p Winter2017 -d CONTOSO

lyncsmash.py discover - discovering domains that are running Skype/Lync

Parameters:
    -H	host list - one domain per line

In this mode lyncsmash will attempt to enumerate various Skype/Lync subdomains via DNS, and returns a score based on number of indicators. Wildcard domains are discarded.

usage:

python lyncsmash.py discover -H domain_list.txt

lyncsmash lock - lockout an account with repeated login failures

** WARNING: THIS WILL LOCK OUT ACCOUNTS. **

Parameters:
    -H	hostname
    -u	username to lock out
    -d	domain

In this mode lyncsmash will make 5 login attempts with an incorrect password, attempting to lock out a user account.

usage:

python lyncsmash.py lock -H 2013-lync-fe.contoso.com -u administrator -d CONTOSO
