pysqlrecon 0.3.1

Offensive MSSQL Python toolkit

PySQLRecon

PySQLRecon is a Python port of the awesome SQLRecon project by @sanjivkawa. See the commands section for a list of capabilities.

Post demonstrating SCCM TAKEOVER-1 with PySQLRecon.

Install

PySQLRecon can be installed with pip3 install pysqlrecon or by cloning this repository and running pip3 install .

Commands

All of the main modules from SQLRecon have equivalent commands. Commands noted with [PRIV] require elevated privileges or sysadmin rights to run. Alternatively, commands marked with [NORM] can likely be run by normal users and do not require elevated privileges.

Support for impersonation ([I]) or execution on linked servers ([L]) are denoted at the end of the command description.

xpcmd                [PRIV] Execute a system command using xp_cmdshell [I,L]     

SCCM Commands

SCCM commands can be found by running pysqlrecon [OPTIONS] sccm -h (required global flags will need to be specified for this to work - see usage)

addadmin             [PRIV] Elevate an account to Full Administrator [I]
credentials          [NORM] Display encrypted credentials [I]
logons               [NORM] Display SCCM clients and last logged on user [I]
removeadmin          [PRIV] Remove elevated account or elevated privileges [I]
sites                [NORM] Gather SCCM site info [I]
taskdata             [NORM] Decrypt task sequences [I]
tasklist             [NORM] Display task sequences [I]
users                [NORM] Enumerate SCCM users [I]   

Usage

PySQLRecon has global options (available to any command), with some commands introducing additional flags. All global options must be specified before the command name:

pysqlrecon [GLOBAL_OPTS] COMMAND [COMMAND_OPTS]

View global options:

pysqlrecon --help

View command specific options:

pysqlrecon [GLOBAL_OPTS] COMMAND --help

Change the database authenticated to, or used in certain PySQLRecon commands (query, tables, columns rows), with the --database flag.

Target execution of a PySQLRecon command on a linked server (instead of the SQL server being authenticated to) using the --link flag.

Impersonate a user account while running a PySQLRecon command with the --impersonate flag.

--link and --impersonate are incompatible.

Usage with ntlmrelayx

PySQLRecon can be used with proxychains to take advantage of relayed authentication targeting a mssql:// service. Due to the way ntlmrelayx sessions work, the --database parameter will not be respected when running PySQLRecon (the relay session will always be connected to the master database). This can come into play especially when using SCCM modules, which require the site database to be sepecified. To fix this, first change the database context using the query module (this will persist across any subsequent PySQLRecon usage, with the same relay session). Example:

proxychains4 pysqlrecon -t <target> -d <DOMAIN> -u <username> -p FAKE query --query 'use new_db_name'

You can now run modules/queries that target resources within that specifc database, even without specifying --database, from the same ntlmrelayx session.

Development

pysqlrecon uses uv to manage dependencies. Install from source and setup for development with:

# Install uv
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Install pysqlrecon
git clone https://github.com/tw1sm/pysqlrecon
cd pysqlrecon
uv sync
uv run pysqlrecon --help

Adding a Command

PySQLRecon is easily extensible - see the template and instructions in resources

TODO

• Add SQLRecon SCCM commands
• Add Azure SQL DB support?
