Driver HackTheBox Writeup
Scanning
We launch a previous nmap to all ports and launch again an nmap with services and scripts to these ports.
Enumeration
We access the website, we see that we need a username and password to access what looks like a printer administration panel.
We use the credentials “admin:admin” and access the printer control panel. We also enumerate the driver.htb domain, we put it in our “/etc/hosts” file.
Exploitation
We upload a reverse shell in PHP and see that it accepts it.
After trying to upload a file to obtain command execution, we see that it does not work.
We run “responder.py” and upload the file. The idea is as follows:
- The machine, will execute the file upload by searching our SMB resource.
- When accessing our resource, it should show the hash “NTLMv2”.
- We will crack the NTLMv2 hash to get the plain password, as these hashes are not usable for passthehash.
Burp request
Capture NTLMv2 Hash with Responder.py
We crack the password with the “rockyou” dictionary.
We connect to “evil-winrm” and read the flag from user.txt.
Privilege Escalation
I didn’t bother if there was an alternative route to climbing. Since the machine is called “Driver” and uses “Windows”, I directly escalated privileges by exploiting the “PrintNightmare” vulnerability.
We create a user who will be an administrator.
We connect to evil-winrm, we see that we are administrators and we read the flag of root.txt.
