Autopsy: analysis image ----write up of 'fi03' for in Cyber FastTrack

Problems : we are going to analysis the windows image file.

Tool: kali, autopsy 

Step1 : kali has autopsy,  so I don't need to install it. But I have to run it with root privilege.

Step 2: Open the URL in the browser and created a case to load the image.


Problem 1: find the hostname of the computer

 Step 1: Windows event always stores the hostname, so I found the path of the host event and open it as hex, it's not easy to see, then I exported it and open it in the windows virtual machine.

Step 2: In Windows, I added the extension as 'evtx', then I double-clicked it to read the content in it.


We found the host name as 'RESARCH-LAB-42'.

Problem 2: find the customized task scheduler of the user, include all the arguments, path and command.

Step 1: find the task path of windows

 We know that the task schedule is stored in 
c :/ windows/system32/Tasks


I found that there is a folder named 'Not a CRON', it is very suspicious. And the other folders are system tasks. I opened 'Not a CRON' as hex, I found the command at the end, I tried it and success!


The command is 'z:\toolsc.exe -l -p 1337 -e c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe'

We can check the vulnerability. user=*)(& password=*)(& --> (&(user=*)(&)(password=*)(&))  After we type it, we found the response shows successful, and return a page has search box. Then we type a character in the search box, and it returns some user phonebook information. I tried 'flag', 'HTB', it doesn't find any results. Then we try to find user 'Reese', but the information doesn't look like flag.   0x03 Locate the flag  Then we change our payload to check if the password is the flag. user=Reese password=HTB*)(& --> (&(user=Reese)(password=HTB*)(&  It can also return to the search page which means it...

wafwaf -- Hack The Box -- Web SQL injection

Image
0x00 Problem 0x01 Check the Source Code We open the website and only see the source code on the website. As we can see, there is a WAF will filter some characters and words, that means the normal injection will not work. However, we can see, there is a json_decode() function will decode JSON data, that means the data can be accepted should be JSON format.  The example JSON format data is like: /u0074, /u0075. In addition, there is a "php://input",  accesses the read-only stream of the requested raw data, executing the data in the post request as PHP code. 0x02 Local Test We can launch an Apache server to test it. I copy the source code and make a little change to test this. This file is in /var/www/html. We will construct the data first. This time I use 'select' as an example. The word transfer to ASCII, then to hex, then replace the '\0x' as '\u00'. This can be test in the browser console. At the end, we can test it with curl . As we can see, the SQL...
