Over the Wire - Bandit 24

Bandit 24

Objectives
Level GoalA program is running automatically at regular intervals from cron, the time-based job scheduler. Look in /etc/cron.d/ for the configuration and see what command is being executed.
NOTE: This level requires you to create your own first shell-script. This is a very big step and you should be proud of yourself when you beat this level!
NOTE 2: Keep in mind that your shell script is removed once executed, so you may want to keep a copy around…


Solution

 alets check out the cron.d and see whats there

bandit23@bandit:~$ ls /etc/cron.dcronjob_bandit22  cronjob_bandit23  cronjob_bandit24


cool lets see whats in the cronjob

bandit23@bandit:~$ cat /etc/cron.d/cronjob_bandit24@reboot bandit24 /usr/bin/cronjob_bandit24.sh &> /dev/null* * * * * bandit24 /usr/bin/cronjob_bandit24.sh &> /dev/null


ok lets check that file in /usr/bin

bandit23@bandit:~$ cat /usr/bin/cronjob_bandit24.sh#!/bin/bash
myname=$(whoami)
cd /var/spool/$mynameecho "Executing and deleting all scripts in /var/spool/$myname:"for i in * .*;do    if [ "$i" != "." -a "$i" != ".." ];    thenecho "Handling $i"timeout -s 9 60 ./$irm -f ./$i    fidone


Ok so this script runs all scripts in the folder and then deletes them  /varspool/bandit24 folder

lets try to write a script that will copy the file in /etc/bandit_pass/bandit24 to a temp directory we create

Now in Python

cp /etc/bandit_pass/bandit24 /tmp/asmithbandit24
chmod -R 777/tmp/asmithbandit24/bandit24

this is a pretty simple script but there are some permission issues we need to over come in order for it to work

first we create the directory /tmp/asmithbandit24
mkdir /tmp/asmithbandit24
Now we need to give bandit24 write access to that folder, which we accomplish by giving everyone all the permissions to that folder :)
chomd -R 777 /tmp/asmithbandit24

Now since we know when we move that file to the /var/spool/bandit24 folder it will deleted it after running. I'm going to create a script in the temp folder we created this script will copy the banditpass file and give everyone all the permissions to that file

vi script.shcp /etc/bandit_pass/bandit24 /tmp/asmithbandit24chmod -R 777 /tmp/asmithbandit24/bandit24


I want to create a copy of this file to give bandti24 access to the file before copyting to the /var/spool/bandit24 folder
cat script.sh >> script1.sh

now I'm going to give bandit24 rights to the file by changing the permission before copying over to /var/spool/bandit24. again I'm going to give everyone all the permissions

chmod -R 777 script1.shcp script1.sh /var/spool/bandit24


now we wait for the cron to execute the script and see if bandit24 shows up in my temp folder

bandit23@bandit:/tmp/asmithbandit24$ lsbandit24  script1.sh  script.sh


there it is let's see what it contains


bandit23@bandit:/tmp/asmithbandit24$ cat bandit24UoMYTrfrBFHyQXmg6gzctqAwOmw1IohZ

RingZero CTF - Cyptography - Your're Drunk Problem: Ayowe awxewr nwaalfw die tiy rgw fklf ua xgixiklrw! Tiy lew qwkxinw. Solution: So just looking at this one it looks like its formatted as a sentence. There is spacing between words, punctuation and capitalization. At fist I thought Cesar cipher, but I ran through some shifts and none of them came back with english words. So then I though substitution cipher. We know from frequency analysis of the English language some good starting points. The most common letter would be "E" The most common double letters would be "OO", "EE" and"SS"  so let start with that and see what we can come up with This site is a great resource for some of the assumptions I'm making here ( http://practicalcryptography.com/ciphers/monoalphabetic-substitution-category/simple-substitution/ ) I used this website to count the letter frequency for me ( https://www.dcode.fr/frequency-analysis ) ...
