Section 3. Mounting the Boot Disk
  1. Discover the Boot Disk
    • Instruction:
      1. fdisk -l
    • Note(FYI):
      • This server was built with all the directories under the same partition.
      • Typically, productions servers will have a partition per file system.  In our case, this server was built with all the directory and filesystems under one partition.
      • In the next step, we will mount up the /dev/sda1 partition.

    • Instruction:
      1. mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
      2. df -k
    • Note(FYI):
      • Since, all filesystems and directories are located under /dev/sda1 we will be able to access any file.
  3. Navigate to the etc directory
    • Instruction:
      1. cd /mnt/etc
      2. ls -l | grep shadow
      3. md5sum /mnt/etc/shadow > /mnt/var/tmp/before.txt
        • This is part of the proof of lab.
    • Note(FYI):
      • By mounting /dev/sda1 to the /mnt directory, we now have access to the shadow file.
  4. Edit the shadow file
    • Instruction:
      1. vi shadow

Hack the Gibson VM (CTF Challenge)

It’s a boot2root challenge and it does not get over with getting root access. You have to find flag also. So let’s start. First of all download lab from https://download.vulnhub.com/gibson/gibson.ova Now open kali terminal and like always start with first step i.e. netdiscover netdiscover it shows all the hosts those are up in our network and from here we get our target ip. Target IP: 192.168.1.6 As our target is all set we are going to scan it with nmap which will show all the open ports. In this case open ports are only two i.e. 22 and 80. nmap –p- -A 192.168.1.6 As from the above result we have got 80 port open so we will open target ip in browser. It shows an accessible directory. Let’s try opening it as we cannot see anything important here. Oh no such luck with this also. It’s written the result will be found by brute force but there is no place where we can apply brute force. As we do not have any other option so let’s just go to view page source to see if we could get a...

Penetration Testing in PwnLab (CTF Challenge)

In this article we will walkthrough a root2boot penetration testing challenge i.e PwnLab. PwbLab is a vulnerbale framework, based on the concept of CTF (capture the flag), with a bit of security which is a little complicated to bypass. But it’s not impossible. So, let us learn how we can get its access. Download From Here Now to start let us, firstly, consider that we do not know the IP of the PwnLab, therefore search for the IP address before hand and for that there is a command that shows us all the IP’s present in our network, so go to the terminal of you Kali and type : netdiscover Target IP = 192.168.0.105 And to know that we start our penetration testing. So, first, we will now scan with nmap , we will apply an aggressive scan as it gives detailed information and is fast. The command is : nmap -A 192.168.0.105 We have the result of scanning and as you can see there are only three ports open and they are: 80, 111, 3306. Our target IP is 192.168.0.105 as its MAC Vendor is...

Hacking the Heartbleed Vulnerability

Welcome back, my greenhorn hackers! In recent weeks, the Heartbleed vulnerability of OpenSSL has been dominating the information security headlines. This vulnerability enables an attacker to extract data from the server's memory that may contain authentication credentials, cookies, the servers private key, and personally identifiable info (PII) that could be used for identity theft. As a result, websites around the world have been scrambling to close this hole. Fortunately for us, many still have not, and many may never be closed. Basically, OpenSSL is an encryption library used in HTTPS (secure HTTP). The idea is that any data traveling over this secured version of HTTP should be secure and encrypted. During communication, OpenSSL uses a "heartbeat" that echoes back data to verify that the data was received correctly. It's kind of like one machine telling the other, "Yes, I got that data and you can send more now." The Heartbleed vulnerabi...
