Enjoy the machine

Hacker House are community sponsors at this year’s BSides London 2017 and, to celebrate, we have an exploit challenge for you. A key date in the UK security scene, it offers an alternative technical conference for the hackers and tech geeks to share war stories and learn. We are providing a challenge lab designed especially for the conference that attendees can sink disassemblers into. If you aren’t at the event, you can also hack along at home, but remember that prizes for solutions can only be claimed at our stand during the event! The challenge is provided in ISO format which you can boot in VirtualBox or any similar virtualisation software, heck you can even run it on an ATM if you like, but this is unsupported. If you solve our little brain teasing conundrums and beat the system to get root, the first three successful solutions presented to us at our stand can claim one of our awesome hoodies, check them out in our shop! This challenge is open to individuals, but if you do decide to team up, then let us know as only one prize can be claimed per solution. We are also giving several t-shirts away during the raffle so make sure you get your tickets!

Our challenge will test your elite hacking skills and requires web application, reverse engineering, cryptography and exploit abilities. It shouldn’t take the competent skilled hacker too much time, but if you do struggle then watch our social media feeds during the event for some tips to this adventure. You should run the challenge in Host-Only networking mode and on successful boot you will be presented with a console, similar to the one shown at the end of this post. You should solve the challenge from a network perspective, only solutions using this route will be accepted for prizes (unless they are really cool!).

The goal of the challenge is to hack the ISO, level up your skills and get root, come and show us how you did it if you want to claim your prize! If you are struggling with the configuration of our challenge, you can check out our training course free module, which details steps for configuring a similar lab. You can find details and upcoming dates of our training here.

Happy hacking and remember sharing is caring so post (tweet us @myhackerhouse!) or email a solution and let us know about it after the event. We will share links to the best of them on this blog! May the force be with you, young padawan, and remember that hacking isn’t just a skill – it’s a survival trade.

Xtreme Vulnerable Web Application (XVWA)

XVWA is a badly coded web application written in PHP/MySQL that helps security enthusiasts to learn application security. It’s not advisable to host this application online as it is designed to be “Xtremely Vulnerable”. We recommend hosting this application in local/controlled environment and sharpening your application security ninja skills with any tools of your own choice. It’s totally legal to break or hack into this. The idea is to evangelize web application security to the community in possibly the easiest and fundamental way. Learn and acquire these skills for good purpose. How you use these skills and knowledge base is not our responsibility.

XVWA is designed to understand following security issues.

• SQL Injection – Error Based
• SQL Injection – Blind
• OS Command Injection
• XPATH Injection
• Formula Injection
• PHP Object Injection
• Unrestricted File Upload
• Reflected Cross Site Scripting
• Stored Cross Site Scripting
• DOM Based Cross Site Scripting
• Server Side Request Forgery (Cross Site Port Attacks)
• File Inclusion
• Session Issues
• Insecure Direct Object Reference
• Missing Functional Level Access Control
• Cross Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
• Cryptography
• Unvalidated Redirect & Forwards
• Server Side Template Injection

Many times while conducting a pentest, I need to script something up to make my life easier or to quickly test an attack idea or vector. Recently I came across an interesting command injection vector on a web application sitting on a client's internet-facing estate. There was a page, running in Java, that allowed me to type arbitrary commands into a form, and have it execute them. While developer-provided webshells are always nice, there were a few caveats. The page was expecting directory listing style output, which was then parsed and reformatted. If the output didn't match this parsing, no output to me. Additionally, there was no egress. ICMP, and all TCP/UDP ports including DNS were blocked outbound.

I was still able to leverage the command injection to compromise not just the server, but the entire infrastructure it was running on. After the dust settled, the critical report was made, and the vulnerability was closed, I thought the entire attack path was kind of fun, and decided to share how I went about it. Since I enjoy being a free man and only occasionally visit prisons, I've created a simple boot2root style VM that has a similar set of vulnerabilities to use in a walkthrough.

Name: Gemini Inc v1

Date release: 2018-01-09

Author: 9emin1

Series: Gemini Inc

Description:

I have decided to create vulnerable machines that replicate the vulnerabilities and difficulties I’ve personally encountered during my last year (2017) of penetration testing.

Some of the vulnerabilities require the “Think out of the box (fun)” mentality and some are just plain annoyance difficulties that require some form of automation to ease the testing.

GeminiInc v1 has been created that replicate an issue that I’ve encountered which was really interesting and fun to tackle, I hope it will be fun for you guys as well.

Adding a little made-up background story to make it more interesting...

Introduction:

Gemini Inc has contacted you to perform a penetration testing on one of their internal system. This system has a web application that is meant for employees to export their profile to a PDF. Identify any vulnerabilities possible with the goal of complete system compromise with root privilege. To demonstrate the level of access obtained, please provide the content of flag.txt located in the root directory as proof.
