SANS HOLIDAY HACK 2017 : PART 3

If you have not read the 1st Part then read it here.

http://oxhat.blogspot.in/2018/01/sans-holiday-hack-2017-part-1.html

So this part is all about exploiting machines.Each challenge will lead us to a page of the Great Book that will answer our questions to who was the actual culprit behind hurling those massive snowballs.

Challenge 3:
3) The North Pole engineering team uses a Windows SMB server for sharing documentation and correspondence. Using your access to the Letters to Santa server, identify and enumerate the SMB file-sharing server. What is the file server share name?

In my previous post I showed you how we obtained the password for allabaster snowball. Now luckily the compromised machine had nmap installed in it. So we are going to scan the internal network and try to find the SMB File Share.





So IP address 10.142.0.7 belongs to the SMB Server.

As the hint says "Alabaster likes to keep life simple. He chooses a strong password, and sticks with it". we can try logging in 10.142.0.7 via SSH. Interestingly we succeed in logging in via SSH.

Now the problem is it has limited commands availability. Lets access the port 445 of 10.142.0.7 via port forwarding technique using SSH as 10.142.0.3 as the server using local port forwarding techniques.


Now we can try using smbclient to find the shares using Alabaster's username and password


Now that we found the share name we can try accessing the share. I also found the 3rd Page from the GreatBook here.


And there we have page3 from Great Book

First I go to Bushy Evergreen and try to solve the terminal challenge . Solving it is fairly easy , Escape_Key followed by  ":q" without quotes After this we move to the kiosk and solve the questions The question were based on the themes of previous Holiday Hack Challenges. Once we answer it correctly we get the flag. For this I visited Minty Candycane and I tried to solve the terminal challenge.  The application has command injection vulnerability , so injecting a system command with the server ip allows execution of the command. So first I perform an `ls` operation to list of the directory contents , followed by a cat of t

Linux Privilege Escalation : SUID Binaries

After my OSCP Lab days are over I decided to do a little research and learn more on Privilege Escalation as it is my weak area.So over some series of blog post I am going to share with you some information of what I have learnt so far. The methods mentioned over here are not my own. This is something what I have learnt by reading articles, blogs and solving CTFs SUID - Set User ID The binaries which has suid enabled, runs with elevated privileges. Suppose you are logged in as non root user, but this suid bit enabled binaries can run with root privileges.

Bluetooth Low Energy : Build, Recon,Enumerate and Attack !

Introduction In this post I will try to share some information on bluetooth low energy protocol. Bluetooth Low Energy ( BLE ) is Bluetooth 4.0.It has been widely used in creating "smart" devices like bulbs that can be controlled by mobile apps, or electrical switches that can be controlled by mobile apps. The terms Low Energy refers to multiple distinctive features that is operating on low power and lower data transfer. Code BLE Internals and Working The next thing what we need to know is a profile. Now every bluetooth device can be categorized based on certain specification which makes it easy. Here we will take a close look into two profiles of Bluetooth which is specifically designed for BLE. Generic Access Profile (GAP) - This profiles describes how two BLE devices defines discovery and establishment of connection with each other. There are two types of data payload that can be used. The Advertising Data Payload and Scan Response Payload . The GAP uses br
