TRYHACKME NEIGHBOUR WALK-THROUGH



Neighbour is an easy-level machine that I was able to solve in 5 minutes. 
Make sure you are connected to VPN and the victim machine is up and running.
Browsing to the IP generated opens up a web login interface, which requires a valid username and password. 


At this point, you can test for multiple vulnerabilities like SQL injection, default credentials, and all but for now, we will keep it simple here as the hint says to look into the source. 


Looking at the source code we find a pair of credentials and also an additional username admin.


After logging in as a guest we observe an anomaly in the URL, the user parameter defines the current user we are logged in as, assuming that the back end treats this parameter as an object we can try to reference it to another user, so we try to access admin panel via IDOR.


And we successfully log in as an admin user and we also retrieved the flag.

Preventions:- 
  • Verification of all referenced objects should be done.
  • Implement access control on all endpoints.
  • Use hashes or random strings for some obvious parameters so that they cannot be guessed instead of plain text or incremented/decremented integer

Happy hacking !!

Beginners Code Review Part 1

  Image credits to  Leobit This is a walkthrough of an exercise created by  PentesterLab  as a free course for learning beginner-friendly source code review. The link to the source code is here . Either clone it or download it as a zip locally. As instructed in the exercise we won't run the run, just read through the source code and look for possible weaknesses that we can leverage into vulnerabilities. LIST OF WEAKNESSES You can find below the list of issues present in the application: Hardcoded credentials or secrets Information leak Missing security flags Weak password hashing mechanism Cross-Site Scripting No CSRF protection Directory Listing Crypto issue Signature bypass Authentication bypass Authorization bypass Remote Code Execution Hand-On Findings and Objectives * Hardcoded credentials or secrets      ...

VULNHUB INFOSEC PREP : OSCP

Welcome to the walkthrough of InfoSec Prep: OSCP walkthrough. It is a beginner-level boot2root machine and it can be downloaded from  here . I cracked this machine literally 5 minutes after it booted properly. So you can consider this machine the easiest.  Hint: Nmap Finding secret.txt and decoding it. Login via ssh. Privilege escalation to root via SUID binary.  Boot up the machine and it should show the IP address. We start off by pinging the box to verify that the box is up and running and we can reach out to it. Command: ping <IP> Then we can run Nmap scan to look for open ports and services running on the box. We will use -sC for running default scripts, -sV for Version/Service info and -T4 for faster execution, and -o for saving the result on a file named nmap The command is: sudo nmap -sC -sV -T4 <IP> -o filename Looking at the scan results, port 22 is open and running ssh, and port 80 is open, and it's running Apache. We can also see a directory named ...

HTB LAME WALKTHROUGH

HackTheBox  is an excellent platform for various pen-testers to increase their testing skills and increasing knowledge. Machine Level -Easy Machine Name -Lame Machine OS -Linux Machine IP -10.10.10.3 Tools: Nmap  -Nmap is a fantastic tool for scanning open ports, services, and OS detection. You can use other tools other than Nmap (whichever you are more comfortable with ) like Masscan, SPARTA, etc to scan for open ports. Metasploit  -One of the most common and widely used tools by pen-testers to launch exploits, it is maintained by Rapid 7. Many books are available to understand the features of this tool. We will be performing the attack by two methodologies (using and without using Metasploit). Methodology 1 (using Metasploit) Scanning the machine is the first step(i.e. Enumeration). We use the following Nmap command, nmap -sSVC 10.10.10.3 (we can run the command with sudo privileges if an error occurs regarding privileges.) The command scans f...
