A while back during a penetration test of an internal network, we encountered physically segmented networks. These networks contained workstations joined to the same Active Directory domain, however only one network segment could connect to the internet. To control workstations in both segments remotely with Cobalt Strike, we built a tool that uses the shared Active Directory component to build a communication channel. For this, it uses the LDAP protocol which is commonly used to manage Active Directory, effectively routing beacon data over LDAP. This blogpost will go into detail about the development process, how the tool works and provides mitigation advice.
