Escaping from KIOSKs

Check for possible actions inside the GUI application

Common Dialogs are those options of saving a file, opening a file, selecting a font, a color... Most of them will offer a full Explorer functionality. This means that you will be able to access Explorer functionalities if you can access these options:

• Close/Close as
• Open/Open with
• Print
• Export/Import
• Search
• Scan

You should check if you can:

• Modify or create new files
• Create symbolic links
• Get access to restricted areas
• Execute other apps

Command Execution

Maybe using a Open with option you can open/execute some kind of shell.

Windows

For example cmd.exe, command.com, Powershell/Powershell ISE, mmc.exe, at.exe, taskschd.msc... find more binaries that can be used to execute commands and perform unexpected actions here: https://lolbas-project.github.io/

*NIX __

bash, sh, zsh... More here: https://gtfobins.github.io/

Windows

Bypassing path restrictions

• Environment variables: There are a lot of environment variables that are pointing to some path
• Other protocols: about:, data:, ftp:, file:, mailto:, news:, res:, telnet:, view-source:
• Symbolic links
• Shortcuts: CTRL+N open new session, CTRL+R Execute Commands, CTRL+SHIFT+ESC Task Manager, Windows+E open explorer, CTRL-B, CTRL-I Favourites, CTRL-H History, CTRL-L, CTRL-O File/Open Dialog, CTRL-P Print Dialog, CTRL-S Save As
  • Hidden Administrative menu: CTRL-ALT-F8, CTRL-ESC-F9
• Shell URIs: shell:Administrative Tools, shell:DocumentsLibrary, shell:Librariesshell:UserProfiles, shell:Personal, shell:SearchHomeFolder, shell:Systemshell:NetworkPlacesFolder, shell:SendTo, shell:UsersProfiles, shell:Common Administrative Tools, shell:MyComputerFolder, shell:InternetFolder
• UNC paths: Paths to connect to shared folders. You should try to connect to the C$ of the local machine "\\127.0.0.1\c$\Windows\System32"
  • More UNC paths:

UNC	UNC	UNC
%ALLUSERSPROFILE%	%APPDATA%	%CommonProgramFiles%
