Exchange/OWA Attack Skill

Exchange Outlook Web Access reconnaissance covering endpoint mapping, NTLM

Type-2 metadata, authentication controls, and version evidence. Password or

lockout testing requires explicit authorization and approved identities.

When to Use

• Target has owa., mail., webmail., exchange., or autodiscover. subdomains.
• crt.sh reveals Exchange-related SAN names (mail.domain.com, autodiscover.domain.com).
• Port 443 returns NTLM WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate or WWW-Authenticate: NTLM.
• After subdomain-enumeration discovers mail-related hosts.
• After port-service-discovery finds HTTPS on port 443 with Exchange fingerprints.

Prerequisites

• terminal with curl, python3.
• Target Exchange/OWA URL.
• For password spray: list of usernames (from recon) and password candidates.

How to Run

# Quick Exchange detection
curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -skI "https://TARGET/owa/" | grep -iE "x-owa-version|x-feserver|exchange|microsoft"

# NTLM challenge capture (AD domain leak)
curl --max-time 30 --connect-timeout 10 -skI "https://TARGET/owa/" -H "Authorization: Negotiate TlRMTVNTUAABAAAAB4IIogAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGAbEdAAAADw==" | grep -i "www-authenticate"

Quick Reference

| Technique | What It Reveals | Severity |

|-----------|---------------|---------|

| NTLM Type-2 decode | AD domain, NetBIOS name, computer name, AD timestamp | High |

| OWA version header | Exchange version, CU level, patch status | Medium |

| /owa/auth/logon.aspx | Login page, brute force surface | Medium |

| /ecp/ | Exchange Control Panel (admin) | High |

| /ews/ | Exchange Web Services (SOAP API) | Medium |

| /autodiscover/ | Autodiscover configuration | Medium |

| /mapi/ | MAPI over HTTP | Low |

| /Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync | Mobile device sync | Medium |

| /rpc/ | Outlook Anywhere (RPC over HTTP) | Low |
