HackTheBox_-_Certificate.jsonl

{"text": "What's going on, YouTube? This is IPS. I'm doing certificate from Hack the Box, which starts off with a pretty niche but cool file upload exploit in a PHP application. It accepts zip files and will unzip it into a directory, but it checks the extensions before performing that unzip operation to try to prevent any dangerous files from being uploaded. I'll show two ways to bypass this filter. The first by inserting a null bite. So, when it creates the file, it chops off a portion of the file, letting us have a PHP file. The second way I find extremely cool. It was used in a fishing attack. It's called zip stacking where we just use cat to combine two zip files into one. Some zip programs read the first file, others read the second file. And it's a pretty cool attack that I recommend you watching. Anyways, once we do that, we gain access to an account that has a pcap file that can read a", "start": 0.16, "duration": 0.0, "meta": {"video_id": "-4c5QcW3r4Q", "title": "HackTheBox - Certificate", "url": "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4c5QcW3r4Q"}}

We can extract that hash, crack it with hashcat, and gain access to an account that has some privileges on the active directory certificate service that lets us take ownership over an account that can take ownership over the disk. Windows EFS protects root.ext. So we have to get the administrator NLM hash to read it. And to do that, we'll perform the golden ticket attack by extracting the signing key. So with that being said, let's jump in. As always, we're going to start off with an end map. So - sc for default scripts, SV enumerate versions vv for double verbose. This gives us things like the TTL OA output all formats put in the end map directory and call it certificate and then the IP address of 10101.71. This can take some time to run.

So why this works is because when the PHP is reading the file name, it knows the length. So it's going to read this entire length um right here, right? And then when it goes to write a file, if we do null bite, it's not like buffered or length terminated or whatever. It's just going to write until it reaches that null bite and that's going to be what terminates it. So since PHP potentially is reading the full file name including the null bite, we can still have a PDF extension on, but when it goes to extract that file and write to the U file system, the null bite would terminate it and that extension will get dropped.
