Hướng Dẫn Thực Hành - Using nikto.pl (DVWA): Lesson 13

{ Using nikto.pl }

Section 0. Background Information
  1. What is Damn Vulnerable Web App (DVWA)?
    • Damn Vulnerable Web App (DVWA) is a PHP/MySQL web application that is damn vulnerable.
    • Its main goals are to be an aid for security professionals to test their skills and tools in a legal environment, help web developers better understand the processes of securing web applications and aid teachers/students to teach/learn web application security in a class room environment.
  2. What is Nikto?
    • Nikto is an Open Source (GPL) web server scanner which performs comprehensive tests against web servers for multiple items, including over 6400 potentially dangerous files/CGIs, checks for outdated versions of over 1200 servers, and version specific problems on over 270 servers.
  3. Pre-Requisite Labs
    • Damn Vulnerable Web App (DVWA): Lesson 1: How to Install DVWA in Fedora 14
    • BackTrack: Lesson 1: Installing BackTrack 5 R
  4. Lab Notes
    • In this lab we will do the following:
      1. We will use nikto.pl to scan DVWA for vulnerabilities.
      2. We show you how to manually grab a webserver and operating system banner.
      3. We will show you an old but still common mistake some web administrators/developers make by placing a configuration direction under a web folder.

      2. GET index.html
    • Notes:
      • Although the webserver responds back with a "400 Bad Request", it does provide the Webserver and Operating System Banner.
      • OSVDB-877
        • RFC compliant web servers support the TRACE HTTP method, which contains a flaw that may lead to an unauthorized information disclosure. The TRACE method is used to debug web server connections and allows the client to see what is being received at the other end of the request chain.

    • Instructions:
      1. Click on config.inc.php
    • Notes:
      1. When a web directory does not contain index.html, index.php, etc, then all files in that directory will be displayed.
      2. Note, you should never allow a configuration directory to be available to the public.
      3. OSVDB-3268
        • Directory indexing has been found to be enabled on the web server. While there is no known vulnerability or exploit associated with this, it may reveal sensitive or "hidden" files or directories to remote users, or aid in more focused attacks.
  3. Nothing Happened?
    • Note:
      1. The config.inc.php produced nothing.
      2. Typically php, perl, asp, etc script will execute as designed and will not produce output.
  4. Let's test for a tilde
    • Instructions:
      1. http://192.168.1.106/dvwa/config/config.inc.php~
        • Place a tilde(~) after .php
    • Notes:
      1. Some applications create a backup file of the file you are edit, with a "~" following it.
      2. The contents of the php file are displayed to the screen, since the Web Server does not recognize a file as a php script because it ends with "~".

Section 10. Proof of Lab
  1. Proof of Lab

Hack the Pentester Lab: from SQL injection to Shell VM

Today we are going to perform penetration testing in another lab, download it from here . Now install the iso image in VM ware and start it. The task given in this lab is to gain access of administration console and upload PHP webshell. Start your Kali Linux then open the terminal and type netdiscover command for scanning network. Here 192.168.0.105 is my target IP which is shown in the screenshot. Then explore this IP in browser When you will open target IP in browser you will get a web page having heading My Awesome Photoblog . On the top of left side it contains some tags: home; test;  ruxcon; 2010; all pictures; admin. Now Click on test . The above URL : http://192.168.1.105/cat.php?id=1 will run query for ID 1 now let try to find out whether the above URL is vulnerable to sql injection or not by adding ‘ at last of URL: http://192.168.1.105/cat.php?id=1 ’ . And I have got a message of sql error. It confirms that this web page is suffering from sql vulnerability. Now ...

Metasploitable 2 vulnerability assessment

A vulnerability assessment is a crucial part in every penetration test and is the process of identifying and assessing vulnerabilities on a target system. In this part of the tutorial we will be assessing the vulnerabilities available on the network side of the Metasploitable 2 virtual machine. We will be assessing the web applications on the Metasploitable 2 machine in a later tutorial. In the previous Metasploit enumeration and fingerprinting tutorial we’ve learned that the Metasploitable 2 machine contains a lot of vulnerabilities. We have collected valuable information about the target system which we will be using to find known vulnerabilities both on- and offline. Exploitation of these vulnerabilities will be demonstrated in the next exploitation tutorial. In this tutorial we will be looking at a few different ways to perform vulnerability analysis. We will be manually searching for exploits, use scanning tools like Nmap with scripts and we will be...

10 Security Vulnerabilities That Broke the World Wide Web in 2016

Information security is a subject in cyber-world which we can’t think away anymore. Data breaches can cost millions when sensitive information is leaked on the Internet. Zero-day exploits pop up for sale every day in deep web forums in return for Bitcoins. However, few exploits are disclosed in public domain once the vulnerability is patched by the vendor. This past year, we had over 6400 common vulnerabilities and exposures which were issued a CVE ID. There were few major bug fixes by the vendors serving backbone of the Internet. Here is the list of top 10 security vulnerabilities which came to light this year. 1. Dirty Cow (CVE-2016-5195) Discovered by Phil Oester,  Dirty Cow , is a kernel vulnerability that allows any unprivileged existing user to escalate its privilege to root. Root is the highest privilege on any UNIX or LINUX system, which has access to all the files. This vulnerability is known as privilege escalation. COW (Change on Write) is a technique used by Linux to re...
