## Basic Information
|
|
|
|
**Post Office Protocol (POP)** is described as a protocol within the realm of computer networking and the Internet, which is utilized for the extraction and **retrieval of email from a remote mail server**, making it accessible on the local device. Positioned within the application layer of the OSI model, this protocol enables users to fetch and receive email. The operation of **POP clients** typically involves establishing a connection to the mail server, downloading all messages, storing these messages locally on the client system, and subsequently removing them from the server. Although there are three iterations of this protocol, **POP3** stands out as the most prevalently employed version.
|
|
|
|
**Default ports:** 110, 995(ssl)
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
PORT STATE SERVICE
|
|
110/tcp open pop3
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Enumeration
|
|
|
|
### Banner Grabbing
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nc -nv <IP> 110
|
|
openssl s_client -connect <IP>:995 -crlf -quiet
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Manual
|
|
|
|
You can use the command `CAPA` to obtain the capabilities of the POP3 server.
|
|
|
|
## Automated
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nmap --script "pop3-capabilities or pop3-ntlm-info" -sV -port <PORT> <IP> #All are default scripts
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `pop3-ntlm-info` plugin will return some "**sensitive**" data (Windows versions).
|
|
|
|

|
|
PASS password Substitue "password" for your actual password
|
|
STAT List number of messages, total mailbox size
|
|
LIST List messages and sizes
|
|
RETR n Show message n
|
|
DELE n Mark message n for deletion
|
|
RSET Undo any changes
|
|
QUIT Logout (expunges messages if no RSET)
|
|
TOP msg n Show first n lines of message number msg
|
|
CAPA Get capabilities
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|

Dear Billy Dean,
|
|
|
|
Here is your login for remote desktop ... try not to forget it this time!

password: PA$$W0RD!Z
|

```
|
|
|
|
## Logging Passwords
|
|
|
|
POP servers with the setting **`auth_debug`** enabled will be increasing the logs generated. However, if **`auth_debug_passwords`** or **`auth_verbose_passwords`** are set as **`true`**, password could be also logged in clear text in those logs.
