PICKLE RICK

 

PICKLE RICK

I'm going to realize the resolution of the machine Level Easy from Tryhackme called Pickle Rick which is a machine so easy to realize.



First of all, we can observe that in the picture bellow we have some inforamtion and I'm going to execute control +u and we can see in the second picture below that we've obtained a Username.


I'm going to gathering information about machine and I have to enter in the Linux terminal and I must introduce this command which you canobserve in the picture below:
  •  gobuster dir -u(url) http://10.10.99.188/ -w(password dictionary)  /usr/share/wordlist/dirb/common.txt -x (formato que quereos que busque) .txt*, .php, .login, 
In this case, we can observe that scan has discovered this 4 webpages:
  1. /assests
  2. /denied.php
  3. /index.html
  4. /login.php
  5. /robots.txt



Now, we can see such as the web page from /robots.txt  it seems the password in the picture below.


Now, we've discovered this login web page /login.php and now, we should introduce  Username and  la Password which you can observe in the picture bellow.


In addition, we've discovered C&C and we're going to introduce some command because we'd like to find out all the ingredients.
First of all, I'm going to execute a typical command such as ls -la to see whatever I can discover that you can see in the second picture bellow where I've obtain the first ingredient:
  • Sup3r3ScretPick13Ingred.txt 



Let's go to execute the cat command cat Sup3r3ScretPick13Ingred.txt but I've obained an error which you can see in the picture below.

So I have to try other command such as  tac:
  • tac Sup3r3ScretPick13Ingred.txt
Definitely, we have discovered the first ingredient  which you can observe in the second picture bellow.





Right now, I have to execute the command ls/home because I want listing folders or directories there, but in this case, has been listed two users  Ubuntu and Rick and I must to introduce in the Rick user and seeing whatever I can discover  and you can observe at the second bottom of picture.

Also, let's go to listing the files in the Rick user with the command in the picture bellow:
  • ls -la /home/rick/
If you have introduce well the command before, you'll be able to discover the second ingredient whose name is second ingredients.

To listing we've going to execute the command (less  '/home/rick/second ingredients') and we can see that the second ingredient has been obtained succesful in the picture bellow.

Perphaps the end ingredients is the most difficult in machine, because in this type of challenges we have to find out the root flag that is the same to root user and now we must see the privilegies from root user  and we have to introduce this command:
  • sudo -l

Moreover, we can see  that we have root perms without any problem.

Now, as we've seen that we are root, right now we have to execute this command:
  • sudo ls -la /root/
Finally, we can observe that we've be able to disover the 3 ingredient that is 3rd.txt.

To sum up this challenge, we have to execute this command because we have to see the end ingredient in the picture below.




Thank you very much for reading the article 
I hope you liked it and learned  something new
Good hack

 INTERNAL(TRYHACKME) First of all, let's go execute nmap command to identify alives ports and version with this host 192.168.88.6 as you can see below. Key open ports and services include: Web Servers: Port 80 (HTTP):  Running  Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page . It supports  OPTIONS ,  TRACE  (flagged as potentially risky),  GET ,  HEAD , and  POST  methods. The webpage title is " INTERNAL ".

TOR WEB BROWSER

  TOR WEB BROWSER TOR INSTALLATION First of all; we're going to this link from the oficial webpage: https://www.torproject.org/es/download/   where we have to download this version our laptop, Windows and Linux but in my case I've had to download for Windows 10. When the program is installed we will press execute and we'll follow step by step:   We'll open and we'll see this image where you have to select the language and select ok to continue the instal l ation. In addition, we'll select the location wherever you want install the program, but in my case I prefer the default location and you'll able to select wherever you want. Now, we will be started the installation process and when it finished you will be able to see the picture below: TOR CONNECT If the process has been successful, you will be able to connect with the connect button which you can observe in both pictures below: ADD A BRIDGE ...

ACTIVEDIRECTORY (TRYHACKME) First of all, let’s go to execute nmap toolkit and we'll be able to start the enumeration of the ports as you can see below with this command: sudo nmap -n -Pn -p- --min-rate 5000 10.10.135.154 -vvv -sC -sV This revealed several open TCP ports with associated services, including: DNS (53),  HTTP  (80),  Kerberos (88),  RPC (135),  NetBIOS-SSN (139),  SMB (445),  RDP (3389),  WS-Management (5985)  LDAP (389, 636, 3268, 3269) Moreover, service and NSE script detection provided valuable information about the services running on these ports, such as IIS 10.0, Microsoft Windows Kerberos , Active Directory LDAP , and Microsoft Terminal Services . The SSL/TLS certificate information on port 3389 indicated the common name AttacktiveDirectory.spookysec.local, reinforcing the target as an Active Directory server. rdp-ntlm-info also provided details about the domain (THM-AD) and computer name (ATTACKTIVEDIREC) as you can se...

Metasploit Framework

 METASPLOIT FRAMEWORK USE TO  AUXILIARY MODULE FROM METASPLOIT First of all, I have used the auxiliary modules from Metasploit-Framework which could allow me Scanning, see ports, SO version, vulnerability in applications etc, where you can see at the bottom of the picture if  I use this module whose name is: auxiliary/scanner/discovery/arp_sweep  (To verify the IPs listening in the network) Now, we can observe that when I have selected in the auxiliary module I have had to do this set up  that we can observe in the second page below: INTERFACE : This I've set up the network interface that in my case is the eth0 interface. RHOSTS :This I've set up the IP Address which I am finding out that in my case is 192.168.100.0/24 (all the IP Address from network that could be possible which I am analyzing). THREADS : Are the threads; it's the fast  that I want to analyze the IP Addresses but in my case there are 15 threads because I want to analize as fast as possible...

HOSTING

HOSTING First of all, let's go to hosting machine from active directory, for it  using arp-scan to discover active hosts on the local network, identifying 192.168.88.8 as you can see in below. ┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~] └─$ sudo arp-scan -I eth0 --localnet Interface: eth0, type: EN10MB, MAC: 08:00:27:43:73:bc, IPv4: 192.168.88.5 Starting arp-scan 1.10.0 with 256 hosts (https://github.com/royhills/arp-scan) 192.168.88.1 d8:44:89:50:2d:a3 (Unknown) 192.168.88.8 08:00:27:98:d4:bf PCS Systemtechnik GmbH 192.168.88.9 00:e0:4c:69:66:4a REALTEK SEMICONDUCTOR CORP. 3 packets received by filter, 0 packets dropped by kernel Ending arp-scan 1.10.0: 256 hosts scanned in 2.075 seconds (123.37 hosts/sec). 3 responded ┌──(kali㉿kali)-[~] └─$ ping -c1 192.168.88.8 PING 192.168.88.8 (192.168.88.8) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 192.168.88.8: icmp_seq=1 ttl=128...

LOVE

BUSCALOVE First of all, I am going to do this machine from cybersecurity labs called BuscaLove which is easy Level. For it, let’s go to open Linux terminal and we have to write the command when we can see in the picture below. cd Descargas In addition, we have to depress the unzip file whose name’s buscalove.zip you can see in the picture below. Now we have to deploy the vulnerability machine whose command is sudo bash auto_deploy.sh buscalove.tar we can see in the picture below. On the other hand, to start the attack at virtual machine, we must verify if the attacker machine is in the same range of IP Address and we have to introduce this command which is ping -c 3 172.18.0.2 we can see in the picture below. As I,ve just seen the IP Address it’s in the same range of my IP Address we have to introduce the command with nmap tool which is nmap -n -Pn 172.18.0.2 -p- - -min-rate 4000 -vvv( here you can see in this picture the scanner) but I’ve got it 2 ports: 22: open ssh 80: open http No...
