“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.”

NIKTO:
Visiting http://10.10.10.79 we find a image of a lady screaming and a bleeding heart. Downloading the image and binwalk it gives us nothing.
In http://10.10.10.79/dev/ we find ‘hype_key’ and ‘notes.txt’.
[root:/git/htb/valentine]# curl http://10.10.10.79/dev/notes.txt (master✱) To do:
- Coffee.
- Research.
- Fix decoder/encoder before going live.
- Make sure encoding/decoding is only done client-side.
- Don’t use the decoder/encoder until any of this is done.
- Find a better way to take notes.
From the notes it sounds like we had a tired and unknowing developer. He’s talking about encoder/decoder, which dirb found for us. Maybe we can inject some code there.

- Trying Server Side Injection (SSI) on the encode and decode functions gives nothing, they have probably fixed that issue.
Go back a step and analyse the data that we do have. Looking on the picture from index.php, a woman screaming and a bleeding heart, maybe this tells us we should look on Heartbleed? Lets look for that!

The bug allows for reading memory of systems protected by the vulnerable OpenSSL versions and could allow for disclosure of otherwise encrypted confidential information as well as the encryption keys themselves. | | References: | http://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140407.txt | https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-0160 | http://cvedetails.com/cve/2014-0160/
Download a heartbleed script and attack until you get something usable from the memory leak.

- Looking in .bash_history we can see some interesting commands. If we investigate it further we can see that dev_sess is both readable and writeable. And ontop of that, root is running that process.

Tmux has a vulnerability allowing us to hijack the root session. Just run the same command to spawn a root shell.
