Hi! I just started on HTB academy and I am trying to connect to the vpn on kali.
I already download the vpn key that is on the lesson, went to the terminal and typed 'sudo openvpn academy.ovpn '.
My ip has changed but the console is hanging with 'Initialization Sequence Completed'.
I tried open another terminal and do the lesson but it does not work
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

#

@humble fog You should be connected , but your ssh command is wrong. Needs to be: ssh htb-student@ipaddress

#

And you need to spawn the target as well to get the target IP address

Question on the Introduction to Web Applications module, in cross site scripting, how is it that JavaScript code that I am able to enter on my client side then get to another user, if that makes sense?

#

In the example given, it shows how JavaScript code can be used to fetch the cookie from the HTML DOM, but I don't see how that is any different from just checking my browser DevTools.

#

I understand that this code could even be setup to send the cookie of the user that runs it to a netcat session or something, but it is lost on me as to how a different user will get that code to be executed on their browser.

#

Forgive any ignorance, I tried googling before asking here but no explanation quite satisfied me.

#

Could someone write a piece of JavaScript to potentially make (say the homepage) of a website a big script that, when users visit the website, would send a cookie (or do any other things) to an attacker?

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of security vulnerability that can be found in some web applications. XSS attacks enable attackers to inject client-side scripts into web pages viewed by other users.

So I've been a bit stuck on the Skills assessment of Module 54 (Attacking Web Applications with Ffuf )
The hint for the third question says: `Run a recursive scan on all sub-domains you found, and use all of the extensions you found. Use 'PORT' instead of the port shown above, like http://xxxxx.academy.htb:PORT/xxxxxxx ..etc'
Is it telling me to literally type 'PORT' instead of the port number in the target Socket?

I hadn't noticed that the syntax in the URL changed. I'll mess with that.

I think I mistyped the hint I was asking about. The hint seems to be implying to literally write POST instead of the provided port number in the target address. Is that correct?

I found it finally. It was telling me to use PORT in the answer, not for the scan.

pliant summit
#

hey having some trouble in networking module

#

i am unsure of how we got the values and binaries from 192

west canopy
#

@pliant summit so there are eight bits in the octet. Each bit has a "value" , going from right to left: 128 - 64 - 32 -16 - 8 - 2 - 1

#

When a bit is 1 we can think of it as being "turned on" so to speak.

#

So the far left bit is turned on , and it's value is 128

#

the next bit has a value of 64 and it's also turned on

#

if all eight bits were turned on , it would be 255

devout cliff
#

^ reason why values for ip addressing only contain values between 0 and 255

#

specifically for ipv4

pliant summit
#

ohhh so the "values" part is the same for all ipv4 addresses?

#

just which ones are turned on is differnt

#

or which ones have '1'

devout cliff
#

for octets

west canopy
#

Yea basically

devout cliff
#

you can get any value between 0 and 255 by flipping those bits on or off

pliant summit
#

okay makes sense, and subnet masks follow the same concept right>?

devout cliff
#

for bit values yes although the purpose of the subnet mask is different from an ip address

#

correct me if im wrong jared im half awake

west canopy
#

Yea the subnet mask is basically a representation for which part of an IP address represents the network , and which represents the hosts

#

a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 means the first three octets of an IP address are the network

devout cliff
pliant summit
west canopy
#

Yep you got it 🙂

devout cliff
#

CIDR is a different way to represent that information

pliant summit
#

so subnet mask and cidr show the same thing?

west canopy
#

Yes just a different format of representing it. 255.255.255.0 = /24

#

255.255.0.0 = /16

pliant summit
#

that makes much more sense, thank you

devout cliff
#

some examples for you

pliant summit
#

and usually, the first address in ipv4 is the defualt gateway (or router) and the last one in subnet mask is the broadcast address?

west canopy
#

Yes, typically

#

and .0 will be the network ID

#

so on my home network, 192.168.1.0 is the network id, 192.168.1.1 is the gateway, and 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast

pliant summit
#

so why do we care about subnet masks then

devout cliff
#

subnet masks tell us how the ip address is 'divided'

#

the first image i posted above

west canopy
#

the smaller the subnet mask , the more possible hosts on the network

pliant summit
#

ah but we could also just the /16 prefix right to know right?

#

or actually, a subnet mask is more specific?

devout cliff
#

they both tell the same information

#

so lets look at a full ip address

#

in bits

#

its 4 octets

#

so thats 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000

pliant summit
#

right

devout cliff
#

so now

#

a CIDR

#

like what you just posted, the /16

#

says the first 16 of those are the network

#

so 00000000 00000000

#

and then the last 2 octets

#

are the host

#

still in this example

#

00000000 00000000

#

so lets make this a little more unique

#

we can use what jared posted, 192.168.1.0

#

11000000.10101000.00000001.00000000

#

this is a class C network as well, which says 'hey the first 24 bits is the network, the last 8 are for hosts'

west canopy
#

there is a great tool on linux called ipcalc which calculates and visualizes all this kind of stuff too

devout cliff
#

yes ^ this

#

so the first 24 bits dont change for this network

#

so thats 192.168.1

#

but the last 8 bits will, and are associated with hosts

#

so you can consider those devices on this network

#

so 192.168.1.1 is the first

#

usually the default gateway unless configured otherwise

#

then 192.168.1.2 will be some device, etc. etc. up to 192.168.1.255

#

so the network can fill up

#

so if you need to add another device what do you do? you need to change the network

#

so you change from a /24 CIDR to lets say a /23

#

this frees up a bit

#

11000000.10101000.0000000

#

this is now the network

#

only 23 bits

#

but the hosts: 1.00000000

#

another bit is allowed, increasing how many hosts can be allowed

#

allowed is not the right word, how many hosts can be associated with that network uniquely

pliant summit
devout cliff
#

right

#

like you have all those addresses used

#

254 actually

#

bc of broadcast address

pliant summit
#

that makes sense, so I imagine its handy to keep those "values" nearby right?

#

unless you use it a lot and start to know it by heart

devout cliff
#

its good to know them, or know a tool that allows you to break them down into different ways. eventually you will be able to identify those networks naturally and how they are divided

#

but the values for octets yes

#

start at 128 for first position and divide by 2 until you run out of bits

#

per octet

novel echo
#

@west canopy the skills assessment, I got flags 1,2, and 3. #4 I found the file but having trouble with getting the right user to read it

devout cliff
#

or you can read it from the furthest right and consider it 2^0, next is 2^1, 2^2, etc etc

pliant summit
west canopy
#

@novel echo try looking in /etc/tomcat9 for tomcat credentials. From there we can log into the tomcat server and upload a WAR file to get a reverse shell as a user who can read the flag

pliant summit
#

like if its /29, i divide it by 8 and the remainder is how many of the bits are reserved for network?

devout cliff
#

so for that

novel echo
#

@west canopy yep, I'm at the screen for adding a vhost

#

Never made a war file

devout cliff
#

00000000.00000000.00000000.00000|000

#

this would be how its divided in bits, network|hosts

#

so per network you have a rather small amount of hosts

#

but many different networks are possible

pliant summit
#

5 bits and then the | because the remainder is 5?

west canopy
#

@novel echo you will want to use msfvenom to generate a malicious war file

devout cliff
#

its 5 bits out of the last quartet because you have /29, you have reserved 29 bits for network and the remainder for hosts

#

so 8+8+8+5=29

#

all of the first 3 octet and 5 of the last

#

short answer: yes

novel echo
#

Last one I assume is a kernel exploit

#

As I cannot find the file even

west canopy
#

Last one is a GTFOBin 🙂

novel echo
#

Lol, I love those for the name alone

pliant summit
#

thanks

#

so if im asked to state the broadcast adress of CIDR: 10.200.20.0/27

#

would it be 10.200.20.255 since .255 is the last one on the network?

west canopy
#

not in this case. In a /24 network it would be 255

#

but we have another three bits going towards to the network, with values 128, 64, and 32

pliant summit
#

oh in a /27 i just add upt first 3?

west canopy
devout cliff
#

^ this is why i shouldnt give advice when im half asleep

pliant summit
#

no youre good i understood what you said

west canopy
#

it gets kind of tricky when working with subnet masks that aren't the usual /16 , /24, etc

devout cliff
#

you add up the values of the host bits

west canopy
#

yep so it would be 16 + 8 + 4 + 2 + 1

pliant summit
#

by the way, sorry if this sounds dumb but there are all private IP addresses right? Two network interfaces at different places in the world could have the same address?

west canopy
#

Yes , basically if you google your IP address it's going to be the IP of your router

pliant summit
devout cliff
#

nope

#

remember

#

the first 3 bits of the last octet cannot be used

#

and the broadcast address lands in the host bits

#

so its 10.200.20.31

#

also just so you understand in case you didnt know, the reason you can have private IP addresses is because of network address translation (NAT) that was invented due to how quickly the public IPv4 space was taken

#

so a private ipv4 address can be repeated, public can not

pliant summit
#

didnt they make ipv6 to resolve that problem?

devout cliff
#

yes

#

because we ran out of ipv4 public addresses

west canopy
#

NAT saved the internet

#

well they thought we would run out of IP addresses

devout cliff
#

IPv4 address exhaustion is the depletion of the pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses. Because the original Internet architecture had fewer than 4.3 billion addresses available, depletion has been anticipated since the late 1980s, when the Internet started experiencing dramatic growth. This depletion is one of the reasons for the development and de...

#

some fun references in this article

#

ipv6 allows for an insane amount of address space

pliant summit
#

ive only seen ipv6 a few times, it hasnt been fully adopted yet has it?

#

or is ipv6 used for public addresess?

devout cliff
#

it can be used for private addressing as well

#

there are ranges for ipv6 like ipv4

west canopy
#

personally i have never seen ipv6 in the wild

devout cliff
#

sometime in the future there is the possibility of converting entirely from ipv4 to ipv6, but it will most likely not be anywhere in the immediate future

#

probably not in our lifetime

#

instead you will have what we have now for a long time: being able to use both ipv4 and ipv6

@tight mesa Hey and how did you start?,does not return any results for me

tight mesa
#

I edited /etc/host at first

rustic sage
#

I did ;c

tight mesa
#

cause is a vpn involved

#

;c?

#

after that, when i ran nslookup inlanefreight.htb i am receiving this message:

nslookup inlanefreight.htb 1 ⨯
Server: 192.168.11.2
Address: 192.168.11.2#53

** server can't find inlanefreight.htb: NXDOMAIN

@tight mesa try doing a zone transfer using: dig axfr inlanefreight.htb @ipaddress

#

ok.

Thank you

The /lucky.php page has a button that appears to be disabled. Try to enable the button, and then click it to get the flag. Now this question on the web proxies skill assessment is ridiculous. Lost count of the time spent altering the code in either repeater or just inspecting element and getting nothing. Is this just a temperamental piece of code or is there some secret sauce I've missed?

west canopy
#

@lone gull I was able to get the flag by inspecting element but it took around 20+ tries

rustic sage
#

@lone gull Discard from server response disabled, intercept the click request and go to repeater, and send request 20x

#

or use match and replace and click on the website until the flag appear

Thanks @rustic sage @abstract frost honestly though I've literally done that so many times. It's just nauseating now 😅

A quick thought on "AD Enumeration & Attacks - Skills Assessment Part I". Maybe I got this all wrong and there's an easier way to do this, but I think the procedure to get the cleartext password of the second user is quite hard for beginners. I'd like to speak to one of the authors to understand the right path and to assess my enumeration flaws. I'll obviously tell what I did to achieve the goal. To clarify: I found the cleartext password in the end.

should be that if you hit s for status it'll show you the progress. It should still be running in the background. If it stopped running, it'd show you a cmd prompt, not hashcat's interactive menu

I also got an error for set RPORT PORT : the following options failed to validate, value 'port' is not valid for option rport

and then says rport=>80

#

maybe that's the actual issue going on

pallid fulcrum
#

just to be clear you need to secifify the IP and PORT in digit number; set RHOSTs 10.120.256.23; set RPORT 8080

swift cove
#

oh... lol

#

where do you get 10.120.256.23?

pallid fulcrum
# swift cove oh... lol

I just put a random IP for sample, you need to set the IP of the web server you want to join

swift cove
# pallid fulcrum or set RHOTS mywebserver.domain.com

so I tried the exercise 'Try running 'auxiliary/scanner/http/http_put' in metasploit on any website, while routing the traffic through Burp. Once you view the requests sent, what is the last line in the request? ' --- so I tried use auxiliary/scanner/http/http_put > set RHOST www.oldschool.runescape.com > set RPORT 8080 > run, and I get 'File doesn't seem to exist. The upload probably failed'. When I check ZAP (used this instead of burp), I don't see any requests that were intercepted. I made sure the red light was on. Any ideas? Thank you for your help btw

pallid fulcrum
swift cove
#

so my zap local proxies setting shows address: localhost, but I should change that to be 127.0.0.1 for it to work? I see that as an option in the dropdown

#

I've just been following along in the htb academy module and figured my settings should be configured to work with the exercises lol

pallid fulcrum
#

localhost it 's the same that 127.0.0.1

swift cove
#

particularly considering I have used zap w/ foxyproxy, and the foxy proxy is set for 127.0.01

#

yeah ok that makes sense then

#

but also means switching it to 127.0.0.1 won't fix my metasploit issue lol

pallid fulcrum
#

exact

#

the proxy port is the good one?

swift cove
#

proxy port is set to localhost port 8080 in ZAP, and that has worked with all the exercises using foxyproxy in firefox. And since the proxy in metasploit is set as HTTP:127.0.0.1:8080, should be good on that end right?

swift cove
#

and for "File doesn't seem to exist", it shouldn't be that the use auxiliary/scanner/http/http_put is incorrect, since I ran msfupdate before getting started?

pallid fulcrum
#

something I do not get iy's tha you want to get the robots.txt file and you are using a PUT exploit ... should be GET for download a file

swift cove
#

I gave up on that one and started using the auxiliary/scanner/http/http_put per the module exercise instructions

#

the robots_txt was for the module example

#

primarily b/c I wasn't sure what IP to use lol, and the exercise said to use whatever website I wanted

pallid fulcrum
#

yes for a get almost any website should work

#

but for a put you need a url that allows you to upload a file

#

or send request

swift cove
#

should google.com work in that case? Tried that one too w/ no luck

pallid fulcrum
#

no, you need a rest API that allows a PUT, you do not have some hosts to tests in the section module?

swift cove
#

nope, that's what confused me most about this section. No target.

#

'Try running 'auxiliary/scanner/http/http_put' in metasploit on ANY WEBSITE, while routing the traffic through Burp. Once you view the requests sent, what is the last line in the request?'

pallid fulcrum
#

Ok, you should see the request with a response ( 404 or 403 forbidden )

swift cove
#

either way, when I hit run shouldn't a request show up in my ZAP window?

# foggy nebula Why is that a rip?

because I had the proxy set up but wasn't seeing it come through zap. I opened up burp with exact same settings, and was able to see the request come through from metasploit. Do you know what I might have been doing wrong in zap? Skyfr couldn't see it in zap either but did in burp

Hi all,

I am currently doing the File Upload Attacks, Type Filters exercise: https://academy.hackthebox.com/module/136/section/1290

I think that I managed to find the right combination of file type allowed; ||.jpeg or .jpg|| the correct format of php file extension; ||from php to php 7 as the server response is just "extension not allowed" rather than only "images are allowed" when I attempted to use files like .phps, .phar, .pht, .phtm, .phtml, .phpt anf .pgif.|| and
the correct whitelist filter; ||shell.php\x00.jpeg||

The response from the webserver is that the file has been uploaded successfully:

naive ravine
#

However, when I attempt to locate the file as man4.php without the: \x00.jpeg part I cannot locate it:

naive ravine
vital adder

#

Type Filters

#

The above server employs Client-Side, Blacklist, Whitelist, Content-Type, and MIME-Type filters to ensure the uploaded file is an image. Try to combine all of the attacks you learned so far to bypass these filters and upload a PHP file and read the flag at "/flag.txt"

how do i get ips and locations

Ok I'm loosing my cool on the hard skills assessment of the attacking common services. I'm at the last steps, but using mssql is such a pain and I need to work from the pwnbox because it doesn't work from my own box so it's double pain xD

Finally. It was a quote problem: you can't use '' inside '', but only "" inside '': ok ' "x" ' ; not ok ' 'x' '

anyone know a place with unbiased reviews of individual modules? Seeing them all as 4.5-5 stars on the HTBa website makes it hard to pick the good from the bad.

I've enjoyed every module except SQLMap Essentials and Broken Authentication

frozen orchid
#

Have you done any of the Active Directory ones?

west canopy
#

Yep

frozen orchid
#

Are they all as wall-of-text as the Intro one? Or does it get a bit more dynamic?

west canopy
#

All the enumeration ones are pretty challenging

#

but its all running queries

#

There's a lot of reading

frozen orchid
#

I'm cool with that. The intro one just seemed like an endless series of definitions with only occasional reference to why it was important to know

thank you

hi, in the Active Subdomain Enumeration inside the Information Gathering module, there's a question: " Submit the FQDN of the nameserver for the "inlanefreight.htb" domain as the answer."

but... I don't really get how we can get the NS of the DNS resolving inlanefreight.htb... cause I can't find any DNS resolving it (should I?); mine is inside /etc/hosts, so I don't think any NS is gonna work?

PASSWORD ATTACKS / Network Services

"Find the user for the SSH service and crack their password. Then, when you log in, you will find the flag in a file there. Submit the flag you found as the answer."

Someone could solve this task of password attacks that knows if the username and password there in the resources lists? i have already tested the entire list of users several times from the pwnbox and a virtual machine but I didn't find the username. I accessed by winrm and took out the users but it is none of those.

I'm using these commands:

hydra -t 4 -L <userlilst> -P <passwordlsit> <ip> ssh -V

hydra -t 4 -L <userlilst> -P <passwordlsit> ssh://<ip>
