# Exploit Title: Microsoft Windows Server 2012 - 'Group Policy' Security Feature Bypass
# Date: 2019-10-28
# Exploit Author: Thomas Zuk
# Version: Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2,
# Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Windows RT, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Windows RT 8.1
# Tested on: Windows 7 , Windows Server 2012
# CVE : CVE-2015-0009
# Type: Remote
# Platform: Windows
# Description: This exploit code targets vulnerable systems in order to corrupt GPO updates which causes
# the target system to revert various security settings to their default settings. This includes SMB server
# and network client settings, which by default do not require SMB signing except for domain controllers.
# Successful exploitation against a system with a hardened configuration that requires SMB Signing by the
# network client will make the target system vulnerable to MS15-011, which can lead to remote code execution.

# MS15-014 Exploit.
# For more information and any updates/additions this exploit see the following Git Repo: https://github.com/Freakazoidile/Exploit_Dev/tree/master/MS15-014
# Example usage: python3 ms15-014.py -t 172.66.10.2 -d 172.66.10.10 -i eth1
# Example usage with multiple DC's: python3 ms15-014.py -t 172.66.10.2 -d 172.66.10.10 -d 172.66.10.11 -d 172.66.10.12 -i eth1
# Questions @Freakazoidile on twitter or make an issue on the GitHub repo. Enjoy.
