HACKABLE: III
There has been nothing good on THM for a little while now, so I’m working back through some older Vulnhub machines. Not that this is particularly old, but whatever. I had looz in my list so I thought I might do that; once I booted it up I remembered that I already had finished the box but hadn’t bothered writing it up. Ooof. Oh and I’ve also done doubletrouble but haven’t written it up.
Anyway this was HACKABLE: III.
Let’s Go
HTTP only. Let’s start pokin’ around. A comment in the page source on the webroot says:
Please, jubiscleudo, don’t forget to activate the port knocking when exiting your section, and tell the boss not to forget to approve the .jpg file - [email protected]
So…sounds like port knocking. Robots.txt disallows /config, which contains 1.txt, which contains: MTAwMDA=, which is 10000 in base64. That’s our first port.
We find port 2 here: http://192.168.1.100/css/2.txt. This contains some brainfuck, which decodes to 4444; that’s our second port.
Viewing the source for http://192.168.1.100/login.php gives us:
<?php
include('config.php');
$usuario = $_POST['user'];
$senha = $_POST['pass'];
$query = " SELECT * FROM usuarios WHERE user = '{$usuario}' and pass = '{$senha}'";
$result = mysqli_query($conexao, $query);
$row = mysqli_num_rows($result);
#validação conta
if($row == 1) {
$_SESSION['usuario'] = $usuario;
header('Location: 3.jpg');
exit();
} else {
$_SESSION['nao_autenticado'] = true;
header('Location: login_page/login.html');
exit();
}
?>So, if we go get 3.jpg we can run stegseek on it…
┌──(root💀kali)-[/opt/vulnhub/hackable3]
└─# stegseek 3.jpg
StegSeek version 0.5
Progress: 0.00% (0 bytes)
[i] --> Found passphrase: ""
[i] Original filename: "steganopayload148505.txt"
[i] Extracting to "3.jpg.out"
┌──(root💀kali)-[/opt/vulnhub/hackable3]
└─# cat 3.jpg.out
porta:65535 And there’s our third port. Note you don’t have to use three ports for port knocking, but it’s common in CTFs.
Let’s see if it works:
knock 192.168.1.100 10000 4444 65535
Re-run the port scan, and bingo we have SSH open.
SSH
We already had two potential usernames:
- jubiscleudo, and
- dev_suport
And in the course of our fuzzing the webserver, we turned up http://192.168.1.100/backup/wordlist.txt which has 300 entries. I run it first with dev_suport with Hydra; no dice. But it’s bingo with jubiscleudo.
Once we get on, we have one other main user: hackable_3. We can find his password in /var/www/html/.backup_config.php
<?php
/* Database credentials. Assuming you are running MySQL
server with default setting (user 'root' with no password) */
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_USERNAME', 'hackable_3');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'TrOLLED_3');
define('DB_NAME', 'hackable');
/* Attempt to connect to MySQL database */
$conexao = mysqli_connect(DB_SERVER, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME);
// Check connection
if($conexao === false){
die("ERROR: Could not connect. " . mysqli_connect_error());
} else {
}
?>There is no mysql on the box, but TrOLLED_3 works for hackable_3. hackable_3 is in the lxd group, so that’s it:
