[![Build Status](https://github.com/cytopia/smtp-user-enum/workflows/linting/badge.svg)](https://github.com/cytopia/smtp-user-enum/actions?workflow=linting)

SMTP user enumeration via `VRFY`, `EXPN` and `RCPT` with clever timeout, retry and reconnect functionality.

Some SMTP server take a long time for initial communication (banner and greeting) and then
handle subsequent commands quite fast. Then again they randomly start to get slow again.

This implementation of SMTP user enumeration counteracts with granular timeout, retry and
reconnect options for initial communication and enumeration separately.
The defaults should work fine, however if you encounter slow enumeration, adjust the settings
according to your needs.

Additionally if it encounters anything like `421 Too many errors on this connection` it will
automatically and transparently reconnect and continue from where it left off.

## :smiling_imp: VRFY mode (default)

> The SMTP "VRFY" command allows you to verify whether a the system can deliver mail to a particular user.

### How does VRFY work

The `VRFY` mode can easily be tested with `nc` or `telnet` as shown below:
```bash
$ nc mail.example.tld 25
```
```
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Thu, 23 Jan 2020 16:03:22 +0200
HELO changeme
250 mail.example.tld Hello [10.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
VRFY someuser
550 5.1.1 someuser... User unknown
VRFY bob
250 2.1.5 <bob@mail.example.tld>
```

As can be seen `VRFY someuser` tells us it does not exist whereas `VRFY bob` yields a positive result.

### Successful VRFY enumeration

```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

Connecting to mail.example.tld 25 ...
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:33:07 +0200

```

### Failed VRFY enumeration

In case the VRFY mode is not successful as shown below, you will need to try out a different mode.

```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

[----] anon              502 VRFY disallowed.
```


## :smiling_imp: EXPN mode

> The SMTP "EXPN" command allows you to expand a mailing list or alias, to see where mail addressed to the alias actually goes. For example, many organizations alias postmaster to root, so that mail addressed to postmaster will get delivered to the system administrator. Issuing "EXPN postmaster" via SMTP would reveal that postmaster is aliased to root.
>
> The "EXPN" command can be used by attackers to learn about valid usernames on the target system. On some SMTP servers, EXPN can be used to show the subscribers of a mailing list -- subscription lists are generally considered to be sensitive information.

> Source: https://www.rapid7.com/db/vulnerabilities/smtp-general-expn

### How does EXPN work

The `EXPN` mode can easily be tested with `nc` or `telnet` as shown below:
```bash
$ nc mail.example.tld 25
```
```
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Thu, 23 Jan 2020 16:03:22 +0200
HELO changeme
250 mail.example.tld [10.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
EXPN someuser
550 5.1.1 someuser... User unknown
EXPN bob
250 2.1.5 <bob@mail.example.tld>
EXPN bin
250 2.1.5 root <root@mail.example.tld>
```

As can be seen `EXPN someuser` tells us it does not exist whereas `EXPN bob` and `EXPN bin` yield positive results. You can also see from the output that `bob` is a real user on the system, whereas
`bin` is just an alias pointing to `root`.

### Successful EXPN enumeration

```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -m EXPN -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

Connecting to mail.example.tld 25 ...
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:33:07 +0200

[----] OutOfBox          550 5.1.1 OutOfBox... User unknown
[SUCC] root              250 2.1.5 root <root@barry>
[SUCC] adm               250 2.1.5 root <root@barry>
[----] admin             550 5.1.1 admin... User unknown
[----] administrator     550 5.1.1 administrator... User unknown
[----] anon              550 5.1.1 anon... User unknown
[----] auditor           550 5.1.1 auditor... User unknown
```

**Note:** the right side shows to what mailbox the email will be forwarded for the alias.

### Failed EXPN enumeration

In case the EXPN mode is not successful as shown below, you will need to try out a different mode.

```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -m EXPN -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

Connecting to mail.example.tld 25 ...
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:33:07 +0200

[----] bin               502 Unimplemented command.
```

## :smiling_imp: RCPT mode

This is usually the most useful command to fish for usernames as `VRFY` and `EXPN` are often disabled.

### How does RCPT work

The `RCPT` mode can easily be tested with `nc` or `telnet` as shown below:
```bash
$ nc mail.example.tld 25
```
```
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Thu, 23 Jan 2020 16:03:22 +0200
HELO changeme
250 mail.example.tld [10.0.0.1], pleased to meet you

RCPT TO:someuser
550 5.1.1 someuser... User unknown
RCPT TO:bob
250 2.1.5 bob... Recipient ok
```

As can be seen `RCPT TO: someuser` tells us it does not exist whereas `RCPT TO: bob` yields a positive result.


### Successful RCPT enumeration

```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -m RCPT -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

```

### Troubleshooting EXPN enumeration

#### 550 A valid address is required
```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -m RCPT -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

Connecting to mail.example.tld 25 ...
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:33:07 +0200
250 mail.example.tld Hello [10.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
250 2.1.0 user@example.com... Sender ok
Start enumerating users with RCPT mode ...
[----] 4Dgifts           550 A valid address is required.
[----] EZsetup           550 A valid address is required.
[----] OutOfBox          550 A valid address is required.
[----] root              550 A valid address is required.
[----] adm               550 A valid address is required.
```

By the above output you can see that pure usernames are not allowed to be specified,
this can be counteracted with the `-d` command, to append a domain to each username during enumeration:

#### 450 Relaying temporarily denied
```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -m RCPT -d 'example.com' -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

Connecting to mail.example.tld 25 ...
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:33:07 +0200
250 mail.example.tld Hello [10.0.0.1], pleased to meet you

[----] adm               450 4.7.1 adm@example.com... Relaying temporarily denied. Cannot resolve PTR record for 10.0.0.1
```

Looks like the server is also hardened against relaying. To circumvent this, you could try to specify the server's hostname (cann be seen in the banner or greeting) or use `127.0.0.1` as the domain for users:

#### False positives
```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -m RCPT -d '127.0.0.1' -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

Connecting to mail.example.tld 25 ...

```

Looks like `127.0.0.1` as the user's domain leads to false positives, let's try the exact domain speified in the banner `mail.example.tld`:

```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -m RCPT -d '127.0.0.1' -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

$ smtp-user-enum -V -m RCPT -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt -l mydomain.com mail.example.tld 25
Connecting to mail.example.tld 25 ...
[1/4] Connecting to mail.example.tld:25 ...
[1/4] Waiting for banner ...
220 beta SMTP Server (JAMES SMTP Server 2.3.2) ready Wed, 22 Jan 2020 16:10:10 -0500 (EST)
[1/4] Sending greeting: HELO mydomain.com
[1/4] Waiting for greeting reply ...
250 beta Hello test (10.0.0.1 [10.0.0.1])

501 5.1.7 Syntax error in MAIL command
[2/4] Waiting for MAIL FROM reply ...
[3/4] Waiting for MAIL FROM reply ...
[4/4] Waiting for MAIL FROM reply ...
timed out
```

So apparently the mailserver does not like our command: `MAIL FROM: user@example.com`.
To circumvent this, let's put the from email in brackets like so: `MAIL FROM: <user@example.com>` via the `-f` argument:


```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -f '<user@example.com>' -m RCPT -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

Connecting to mail.example.tld 25 ...
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:33:07 +0200
250 mail.example.tld Hello [10.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
250 2.1.0 Sender <user@example.com> OK
Start enumerating users with RCPT mode ...
[----] 4Dgifts           501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters or arguments
[----] EZsetup           501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters or arguments
[----] OutOfBox          501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters or arguments
[----] root              501 5.5.2 Syntax error in parameters or arguments
```

Looks like the usernames also need to be wrapped in `<` and `>` to satisfy this specific mailserver. To do this, simply add the `-w` option:

```bash
$ smtp-user-enum -w -f '<user@example.com>' -m RCPT -U /usr/share/wordlists/metasploit/unix_users.txt mail.example.tld 25

Connecting to mail.example.tld 25 ...
220 mail.example.tld ESMTP Sendmail 8.12.8/8.12.8; Wed, 22 Jan 2020 19:33:07 +0200
250 mail.example.tld Hello [10.0.0.1], pleased to meet you
250 2.1.0 Sender <user@example.com> OK
Start enumerating users with RCPT mode ...
[SUCC] 4Dgifts           250 2.1.5 Recipient <4Dgifts@localhost> OK
[SUCC] EZsetup           250 2.1.5 Recipient <EZsetup@localhost> OK
[SUCC] OutOfBox          250 2.1.5 Recipient <OutOfBox@localhost> OK
[SUCC] root              250 2.1.5 Recipient <root@localhost> OK
[SUCC] adm               250 2.1.5 Recipient <adm@localhost> OK
[SUCC] admin             250 2.1.5 Recipient <admin@localhost> OK
[SUCC] administrator     250 2.1.5 Recipient <administrator@localhost> OK
[SUCC] anon              250 2.1.5 Recipient <anon@localhost> OK
[SUCC] auditor           250 2.1.5 Recipient <auditor@localhost> OK
```

Unfortunately this yields to false positives again as it seems to be an open relay.
However, lessons learned from this is to use the `-V` option in case of issues to troubleshoot what is going on.
Maybe the open relay is another vector to hunt down.


## :cop: Mitigation

Now that you've seen how easy it could be to enumerate usernames on systems, you should ensure that your servers are hardened against this technique.

### VRFY and EXPN

#### Postfix

On Postfix `VRFY` seems to be not disabled by default as shown by [their documentation](http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html#disable_vrfy_command). It also looks like Postfix did not implement the `EXPN` command, so only `VRFY` needs to be disabled.

`main.cf`:
```ini
disable_vrfy_command = yes
```

#### Sendmail

On Sendmail you will have to adjust the privacy settings and reload its configuration afterwards in order to disable `VRFY` and `EXPN`.

`sendmail.cf`:
```diff
- O PrivacyOptions=
+ O PrivacyOptions=noexpn novrfy
```
or
```diff
- O PrivacyOptions=
+ O PrivacyOptions=goaway
```

#### Exim

On Exim you should check if those values have already been disabled and then disable them accordingly. For the `EXPN` directive, ensure to either comment it out or set it to `localhost` only.

`exim.conf`:
```diff
- smtp_verify = true
+ smtp_verify = false

- smtp_expn_hosts = ...
+ smtp_expn_hosts = localhost
```

### RCPT TO

The `RCPT TO` command cannot be disabled without breaking a mail server. What you should do instead is to require authentication:

* [Postifx SASL](http://www.postfix.org/SASL_README.html)
* [Sendmail SASL](https://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/auth.html)
* [Exim SASL](https://www.exim.org/exim-html-current/doc/html/spec_html/ch-the_cyrussasl_authenticator.html)
