## Internetboodskaptoegangprotokol

Die **Internetboodskaptoegangprotokol (IMAP)** is ontwerp met die doel om gebruikers in staat te stel om **hul e-posboodskappe vanaf enige plek te benader**, hoofsaaklik deur 'n internetverbinding. In essensie word e-posse **op 'n bediener bewaar** eerder as om afgelaai en gestoor te word op 'n individu se persoonlike toestel. Dit beteken dat wanneer 'n e-pos geopen of gelees word, dit **direk vanaf die bediener** gedoen word. Hierdie vermoë maak dit moontlik om gerieflik e-posse vanaf **verskeie toestelle** te kontroleer, en verseker dat geen boodskappe gemis word nie, ongeag die gebruikte toestel.

Standaard werk die IMAP-protokol op twee poorte:

* **Poort 143** - dit is die verstek IMAP nie-geënkripteerde poort
* **Poort 993** - dit is die poort wat jy moet gebruik as jy wil koppel met IMAP op 'n veilige manier
```
PORT    STATE SERVICE REASON
143/tcp open  imap    syn-ack
```
## Banier gryp
```bash
nc -nv <IP> 143
openssl s_client -connect <IP>:993 -quiet
```
### NTLM-verifisering - Inligtingsoffening

Indien die bediener NTLM-verifisering ondersteun (Windows) kan jy sensitiewe inligting (weergawes) verkry:
```
root@kali: telnet example.com 143
* OK The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service is ready.
>> a1 AUTHENTICATE NTLM
+
>> TlRMTVNTUAABAAAAB4IIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA=
+ TlRMTVNTUAACAAAACgAKADgAAAAFgooCBqqVKFrKPCMAAAAAAAAAAEgASABCAAAABgOAJQAAAA9JAEkAUwAwADEAAgAKAEkASQBTADAAMQABAAoASQBJAFMAMAAxAAQACgBJAEkAUwAwADEAAwAKAEkASQBTADAAMQAHAAgAHwMI0VPy1QEAAAAA
```
Of **outomatiseer** dit met **nmap** invoegtoepassing `imap-ntlm-info.nse`

### [IMAP Bruteforce](../generic-methodologies-and-resources/brute-force.md#imap)

## Sintaks

IMAP-opdragvoorbeelde van [hier](https://donsutherland.org/crib/imap):
```
Login
A1 LOGIN username password
Values can be quoted to enclose spaces and special characters. A " must then be escape with a \
A1 LOGIN "username" "password"

List Folders/Mailboxes
A1 LIST "" *
A1 LIST INBOX *
A1 LIST "Archive" *

Create new Folder/Mailbox
A1 CREATE INBOX.Archive.2012
A1 CREATE "To Read"

Delete Folder/Mailbox
A1 DELETE INBOX.Archive.2012
A1 DELETE "To Read"

Rename Folder/Mailbox
A1 RENAME "INBOX.One" "INBOX.Two"

List Subscribed Mailboxes
A1 LSUB "" *

Status of Mailbox (There are more flags than the ones listed)
A1 STATUS INBOX (MESSAGES UNSEEN RECENT)

Select a mailbox
A1 SELECT INBOX

List messages
A1 FETCH 1:* (FLAGS)
A1 UID FETCH 1:* (FLAGS)

Retrieve Message Content
A1 FETCH 2 body[text]
A1 FETCH 2 all
A1 UID FETCH 102 (UID RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[])

Close Mailbox
A1 CLOSE

Logout
A1 LOGOUT
```
### Evolusie
```
apt install evolution
```

### CURL

Basiese navigasie is moontlik met [CURL](https://ec.haxx.se/usingcurl/usingcurl-reademail#imap), maar die dokumentasie is lig op besonderhede, dus word dit aanbeveel om die [bron](https://github.com/curl/curl/blob/master/lib/imap.c) te kontroleer vir presiese besonderhede.

1. Lys van posbusse (imap-opdrag `LIST "" "*"`)
```bash
curl -k 'imaps://1.2.3.4/' --user user:pass
```
2. Lys van boodskappe in 'n posbus (imap-opdrag `SELECT INBOX` en dan `SEARCH ALL`)
```bash
curl -k 'imaps://1.2.3.4/INBOX?ALL' --user user:pass
```
Die resultaat van hierdie soektog is 'n lys van boodskapindekse.

Dit is ook moontlik om meer komplekse soekterme te verskaf. bv. soek na konsepte met wagwoord in e-pos liggaam:
```bash
curl -k 'imaps://1.2.3.4/Drafts?TEXT password' --user user:pass
```
'n Lekker oorsig van die soekterme moontlik is geleë [hier](https://www.atmail.com/blog/imap-commands/).

3. Aflaai van 'n boodskap (imap bevel `SELECT Konsepte` en dan `FETCH 1 BODY[]`)
```bash
curl -k 'imaps://1.2.3.4/Drafts;MAILINDEX=1' --user user:pass
```
Die e-pos indeks sal dieselfde indeks wees wat teruggegee word deur die soekoperasie.

Dit is ook moontlik om `UID` (unieke id) te gebruik om boodskappe te benader, maar dit is minder gerieflik aangesien die soekbevel handmatig geformateer moet word. Byvoorbeeld:
```bash
curl -k 'imaps://1.2.3.4/INBOX' -X 'UID SEARCH ALL' --user user:pass
curl -k 'imaps://1.2.3.4/INBOX;UID=1' --user user:pass
```
Ook moontlik om net dele van 'n boodskap af te laai, bv. onderwerp en afstuurder van die eerste 5 boodskappe (die `-v` is nodig om die onderwerp en afstuurder te sien):
```bash
$ curl -k 'imaps://1.2.3.4/INBOX' -X 'FETCH 1:5 BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT FROM)]' --user user:pass -v 2>&1 | grep '^<'
```
Alhoewel, dit is waarskynlik skoner om net 'n klein for-lus te skryf:
```bash
for m in {1..5}; do
echo $m
curl "imap://1.2.3.4/INBOX;MAILINDEX=$m;SECTION=HEADER.FIELDS%20(SUBJECT%20FROM)" --user user:pass
done
```

Protocol_Name: IMAP    #Protocol Abbreviation if there is one.
Port_Number:  143,993     #Comma separated if there is more than one.
Protocol_Description: Internet Message Access Protocol         #Protocol Abbreviation Spelled out

Entry_1:
Name: Notes
Description: Notes for WHOIS
Note: |
The Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) is designed for the purpose of enabling users to access their email messages from any location, primarily through an Internet connection. In essence, emails are retained on a server rather than being downloaded and stored on an individual's personal device. This means that when an email is accessed or read, it is done directly from the server. This capability allows for the convenience of checking emails from multiple devices, ensuring that no messages are missed regardless of the device used.
