HTTP Verbs/Methods Fuzzing
Try using different verbs to access the file: GET, HEAD, POST, PUT, DELETE, CONNECT, OPTIONS, TRACE, PATCH, INVENTED, HACK
- Check the response headers, maybe some information can be given. For example, a 200 response to HEAD with
Content-Length: 55
means that the HEAD verb can access the info. But you still need to find a way to exfiltrate that info. - Using a HTTP header like
X-HTTP-Method-Override: PUT
can overwrite the verb used. - Use
TRACE
verb and if you are very lucky maybe in the response you can see also the headers added by intermediate proxies that might be useful.
HTTP Headers Fuzzing
-
Change Host header to some arbitrary value (that worked here)
-
Try to use other User Agents to access the resource.
-
Fuzz HTTP Headers: Try using HTTP Proxy Headers, HTTP Authentication Basic and NTLM brute-force (with a few combinations only) and other techniques. To do all of this I have created the tool fuzzhttpbypass.
X-Originating-IP: 127.0.0.1
X-Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1
X-Forwarded: 127.0.0.1
Forwarded-For: 127.0.0.1
X-Remote-IP: 127.0.0.1
X-Remote-Addr: 127.0.0.1
X-ProxyUser-Ip: 127.0.0.1
X-Original-URL: 127.0.0.1
Client-IP: 127.0.0.1
True-Client-IP: 127.0.0.1
Cluster-Client-IP: 127.0.0.1
X-ProxyUser-Ip: 127.0.0.1
Host: localhost
If the path is protected you can try to bypass the path protection using these other headers:
X-Original-URL: /admin/console
X-Rewrite-URL: /admin/console
-
If the page is behind a proxy, maybe it's the proxy the one preventing you you to access the private information. Try abusing HTTP Request Smuggling or hop-by-hop headers.
-
Fuzz special HTTP headers looking for different response.
- Fuzz special HTTP headers while fuzzing HTTP Methods.
-
Remove the Host header and maybe you will be able to bypass the protection.
Path Fuzzing
If /path is blocked:
- Try using /%2e/path _(if the access is blocked by a proxy, this could bypass the protection). Try also_** /%252e**/path (double URL encode)
- Try Unicode bypass: /%ef%bc%8fpath (The URL encoded chars are like "/") so when encoded back it will be //path and maybe you will have already bypassed the /path name check
- Other path bypasses:
- site.com/secret –> HTTP 403 Forbidden
- site.com/SECRET –> HTTP 200 OK
- site.com/secret/ –> HTTP 200 OK
- site.com/secret/. –> HTTP 200 OK
- site.com//secret// –> HTTP 200 OK
- site.com/./secret/.. –> HTTP 200 OK
- site.com/;/secret –> HTTP 200 OK
- site.com/.;/secret –> HTTP 200 OK
- site.com//;//secret –> HTTP 200 OK
- site.com/secret.json –> HTTP 200 OK (ruby)
- Use all this list in the following situations:
- /FUZZsecret
- /FUZZ/secret
- /secretFUZZ
- Other API bypasses:
- /v3/users_data/1234 --> 403 Forbidden
- /v1/users_data/1234 --> 200 OK
- {“id”:111} --> 401 Unauthriozied
- {“id”:[111]} --> 200 OK
- {“id”:111} --> 401 Unauthriozied
- {“id”:{“id”:111}} --> 200 OK
- {"user_id":"<legit_id>","user_id":"<victims_id>"} (JSON Parameter Pollution)
- user_id=ATTACKER_ID&user_id=VICTIM_ID (Parameter Pollution)
Protocol version
If using HTTP/1.1 try to use 1.0 or even test if it supports 2.0.
Other Bypasses
- Get the IP or CNAME of the domain and try contacting it directly.
- Try to stress the server sending common GET requests (It worked for this guy wit Facebook).
- Change the protocol: from http to https, or for https to http
- Go to https://archive.org/web/ and check if in the past that file was worldwide accessible.
Brute Force
- Guess the password: Test the following common credentials. Do you know something about the victim? Or the CTF challenge name?
- Brute force: Try basic, digest and NTLM auth.
{% code title="Common creds" %}
```
admin admin
admin password
admin 1234
admin admin1234
admin 123456
root toor
test test
guest guest
```
{% endcode %}
