You can

He doesn't have to google, people are just allowed to refuse help

quiet schooner
#

Copy a new chattr binary over

gusty cradle
#

^

quiet schooner
#

I got a spare one here for ubuntu 1804

gusty cradle
#

Statically compiled chattr binary

terse willow
#

Just thinking actually, would it even need to be statically compiled if you only deleted the binary and not the underlying libraries? Probably not, if it was the same version as the deleted one?

#

Probably safer to just use the statically compiled one though πŸ˜„

fair adder
nova tide
#

using vim on it wont help

quiet schooner
#

@fair adder Oh cool, I couldn't find that system call last time I looked

stable horizon
#

What machine are we talking about

nova tide
#

Panda*

stable horizon
#

ah yeah i never got that one

#

nor that one

fair adder
#

i thought panda was 10x easier than spacejam... still bashing my face against that one

dapper escarp
#

Spacejam is the easiest in pool

fair adder
#

oh @dapper escarp thanks for making me feel like a dummy. problem for me is everytime i am on that KOTH, i end up getting work phone calls or wife agro... lose all my time to poke at the sytaxx to do what i am sure i need to do

quiet schooner
#

Oh yeah that's what I found in the end I think? @fair adder

fair adder
#

i believe it

#

grumble...

#

stupid work call

stable horizon
#

Spacejam is the easiest in pool
@dapper escarp
Food is even easier, just telnet, log in, edit sudoers, su, done

dapper escarp
#

and spacejam is literally run ?cmd=python -c "import socket, etc etc and root

#

tell me instant root shell isn't easier...

#

one step root vs like what 4?

weary marten
#

stable horizon
#

I didn't kill it, I'm connected over it rn

weak haven
#

weary marten

#

any hints on the telnet thingy ?xD

stable horizon
#

Ok I was right, it was just the netcat listener

#

Yep, that should be everything sealed up

weak haven

dapper escarp
#

@fair adder Instead of hitting my DMs without permission how about you ask here. Maybe @quiet schooner will help you seeing as it's his box.

stable horizon
#

Which box

lone reef
#

..

stable horizon
#

...

fair adder
#

I asked for a sanity check that a box didnt need to be brite forced via a dm

quiet schooner
#

@fair adder Please don't DM users without checking if it's OK first, this is Rule 1 here.

fair adder
#

As he reminded me then blocked before i could apologize

#

Thought that since he has flagged me in a convo here earlier I could ask for a sanity check, I misunderstood

nova tide
#

Thought that since he has flagged me in a convo here earlier I could ask for a sanity check, I misunderstood
@fair adder if you ask here no one will mind answering you. Its a rule for a reason because some people dont like DM.

fair adder
stable horizon
#

ok

nova tide
#

nice myDonut is here πŸ˜„

#

just woke up and gonna play tetris first thing in the morning πŸ˜„

rancid pewter
#

Nah I just need to compile something on the box

#

Unless you really want to play tetris ?

stable horizon
#

Hey fren

#

Server up?

rancid pewter
#

That perfect Space Jam a box without gcc

quiet schooner
#

@rancid pewter Static or get a box with the same OS and libs πŸ˜‰

nova tide
#

no point in killing shells in space jam unless you patch the ways to get in

stable horizon
#

tbf that was me

weary kindle
#

pkill -9 -t $(tty | sed 's/^.....//')

#

That might work

stable horizon
#

did i tetris anyone

rancid pewter
#

Nope you didnt put full path

stable horizon
#

ah i forgot the ./

nova tide
#

πŸ˜„

#

lol

stable horizon
#

no u

#

it was a worthy attempt

weary kindle
#

yeah jeez, just make a rootkit to hide syscalls to that file in ls

#

obviously /s

grand ember
nova tide

πŸ˜„ πŸ˜›

weary kindle
#

I might have something like that in the works

grand ember
#

you have something like that in the works

rancid pewter
#

Easy win on tetris

stable horizon
#

Hmm I should up the difficulty

weary kindle
#

you have something like that in the works
@grand ember how do you know about my secret plans

grand ember
#

because you told everyone about them already

#

also your status on discord few days ago

weary kindle
#

Ah

#

Yeah might have forgotten about that part

grand ember
#

VMWare workstation: rootkits2

quiet schooner
grand ember
#

optional is doing something too

#

so am I SmirkGuns

weary kindle
#

I need to start work on it again

rancid pewter
#

Want to hear an horror story, I finished my rootkit today...

grand ember
#

😟

#

that's very worrying

weary kindle
#

Did you enjoy your time deving it?

grand ember
#

does it have pacman instead of tetris?

rancid pewter
#

Nah it just to get king

quiet schooner
#

It plays popcorn, because it's kernel level

stable horizon
#

its actually galaga

#

james get out

rancid pewter
#

@weary kindle It a real pain to use undocumented function

grand ember
#

kernel level noot machine kekw

rancid pewter
#

I just need to compile it on every KoTH kernel

weary kindle
#

The only feature I've tested live in mine is persistance.

#

I know Food and Prod have the kernel headers on them

quiet schooner
#

@rancid pewter Food has headers πŸ˜‰

#

dammit dan

nova tide
#

so closing one service is allowed?

#

^^

quiet schooner
#

...you can patch that without closing it reeeee

nova tide
#

you have said before but someone closed it πŸ˜„

#

so just making sure if its against the rules or not?

quiet schooner
#

It is.

rancid pewter
#

The only problem with my rootkit is once it started you CANT do anything to get king.

nova tide
#

well i wasn't even trying for the king

#

trying to get as much persistence as i could

grand ember
#

@rancid pewter even another kernelmod? thonkweight

nova tide
#

the max i touched the king was cat king.txt

quiet schooner
#

@rancid pewter I could get king, but not by the KoTH rules.

rancid pewter
#

@grand ember Yeah but verify specific function

#

@quiet schooner What does that mean

quiet schooner
#

I mean there's something I could do

#

But it'd be breaking the rules

rancid pewter
#

Interesting

#

Which rule ?

quiet schooner
#

That'd be telling.

nova tide
#

btw can someone just tell who closed port 3000?

#

oh opened again

#

lol

stable horizon
#

im confused

#

hey wait thats what screen did? neat

#

well i mean if it did do that at least

nova tide
stable horizon
#

Didn't you just open it?

#

I'm not even on the system atm

nova tide
#

well someone closed it again

#

it was filtered first but now closed πŸ™‚

rancid pewter
#

Anyway that I can have the kernel header of all KoTH box ?

nova tide
full grove
#

happy one liner for y'all

#
for LINE in `cat fqdnInScope`; do ping -c 1 $LINE | grep data | cut -d '(' -f 2 | cut -d ')' -f 1 >> ipAddressesInScope.txt; done &```
quiet schooner
#

@rancid pewter Most of them are ubuntu 1804

full grove
#

reads a list of hosts from a file, pings them, extracts the IP address

stable horizon
#

Gonna head off from this match, gg Donuts

nova tide
#

so closing port 22 is allowed? πŸ™‚

rancid pewter
#

@quiet schooner But they got different kernel version

nova tide
#

not sure how the rules work

stable horizon
#

It's not

quiet schooner
#

So dump version for each

rancid pewter
#

@stable horizon GG

stable horizon
#

No making it impossible to access ports

quiet schooner
#

Compile with headers

full grove
#

go and move ssh onto a different port

#

watch someone struggle 4head

quiet schooner
#

@stable horizon That aint the rule

nova tide
#

so if its against the rules whats next?

stable horizon
#

Lemme grab the rule

nova tide
#

@stable horizon That aint the rule
@quiet schooner ?

stable horizon
#

"The machine should not be made unavailable (shutdown, firewall rules to stop all communication, all services terminated, machine botching etc..)"

nova tide
#

go and move ssh onto a different port
@full grove oh ok

quiet schooner
#

The rule is that you can't close services

#

You can patch them so that you can't exploit them to gain access

#

That's allowed

stable horizon
#

"Only stop a service if it can't be patched any other way"

#

Right

rancid pewter
#

@quiet schooner That going to take a long time and a lot of private game

full grove
#

nothing about restarting a service to allow it on a different port 4head

nova tide
#

in this game port 3000 has been closed for some time until i asked here

#

and then reopened ^

quiet schooner
#

NodeJS app

#

End code, restart

nova tide
#

No idea what would that be but ok

#

nothing about restarting a service to allow it on a different port :4head:
@full grove V

full grove
#

V

nova tide
#

not sure which port would be that have ssh

#

not port 23 not 5432

full grove
#

well

#

one of those is IPv6

#

and one is IPv4

#

but yeah

#

noep

#

not seeing ssh there

nova tide
#

ok so the game ended.. can someone help me understand what am i missing about which port ssh was running on?

#

Are SSH keys randomized?

severe orchid
#

anyone knows how to priv esc from gloria in the lion machine?

dapper escarp
#

There’s a number of ways

stable horizon
#

I dunno, but you should probably check find / -perm /4000 2>/dev/null and sudo -l against gtfobins

severe orchid
#

k, thanks a lot

#

is there any way to run sudo -l without knowning the password

#

i got in through the n******o rce

stable horizon

Ah it depends on if the user is allowed to under sudoers

Koth is a complete seperate beast from the thm rooms, I agree that ranks don't mean anything in koth

Due to the nature of randomness, yes. @stable horizon

Not real patterns

stable horizon

Is there even another way to get in

@stiff egret The correct command would be: rm -rf / --no-preserve-root

You're allowed to patch all the ways in

That wasn't the question

#

There's more than 2 ways in

I've been enumerating it for about a week now, I've only ever seen the use of one way

@stiff egret The correct command would be: rm -rf / --no-preserve-root

@floral kernel Filtered doesn't mean closed

yeah sure

Filtered means your connectivity is probably dead

floral kernel
#

don't think so πŸ™‚

quiet schooner

@floral kernel Filtered means it didn't get a RST

So your VPN

Type killall openvpn into your terminal and press enter

β€’ Step 4

Start the VPN with sudo openvpn <path-to-config>

quiet schooner
#

Also you're only scanning top ports

stable horizon
#

True

floral kernel
#

port 80 should appear there but it didn't

#

filtered also means, fw filtered

#

anyway

quiet schooner
#

@floral kernel Filtered means it didn't get a RST

#

That can be because there's a firewall filtering them, or you're not connected properly etc

floral kernel
#

firewall!

#

is that allowed?

quiet schooner
#

No

#

Read the rules.

#

If you know who it was, report them

nice patch lol

#

changed the password and closed all the sessions

fair adder
#

bruhh someone set pass to ashu

glossy vessel
#

πŸ‘

fair adder
#

and he closed my connection

#

LOL

glossy vessel
#

while i patched the ftp stuff and suid

fair adder
#

i wanted to lock hem up when i kill hes session to get hem out of the way while im fighting with you

#

but it appears he owned us LOL

glossy vessel
#

but i am still a king lol

#

because i hid a script which automatically writes my nickname to the file

fair adder
#

lol

#

thats why you getting king so quickly

#

LMFAO

glossy vessel
#

yeah

#

:D

fair adder
#

and i was wondering why.. cleaver way lol

glossy vessel
#

mhm

#

but the script's name is pretty obvious so it can be easily found

#

i don't want to make life harder for people

fair adder
#

well me neither i was just testing does sudo kill work ... but really wanted to kill other guy's session but he was automaticly creating it again or something idk

#

this is more stress in 20 minutes then league of legends and csgo combined

glossy vessel
#

lol

#

alright i am done with this game

#

let's see if my script saves me

fair adder
#

lol

rugged pumice
#

@fair adder the 'other guy' is probably running reverse shell somewhere, which explains why he creates a new session so easily. Find it and kill that process

fair adder
#

i can't im going to store now lmfao

#

im trying to bruteforce skidy's password

#

maybe that will save me lol

rugged pumice
#

good luck with that πŸ˜‰

glossy vessel
#

bruteforce is worthless here

#

but changing the ssh password in production box is angry

fair adder
#

okay im back

#

yah

#

but maybe try find skidy password

glossy vessel
#

you were quick lol

fair adder
#

yeah well i runed

glossy vessel
#

ahhaha

rugged pumice
#

there are multiple way that you can get it, it's not only ssh

glossy vessel
#

what did you buy

fair adder
#

booster

glossy vessel
#

booster?

fair adder
#

its energy drink

glossy vessel
#

oh

#

nice

fair adder
#

xD

#

ty

#

so we can't bruteforce skidy's password

glossy vessel
#

it's useless basically

rugged pumice
#

you can,
but what if the password is: ritgmg439t2mf32fk
it will take VERY LONG time

glossy vessel
#

yeah obviously

fair adder
#

well then this guy pwned us

rugged pumice
#

ashu's password is not the only way you can get in

fair adder
#

ik

#

its changed 2

rugged pumice
#

idk about you, but ||9001|| looks interesting

golden vapor
#

πŸ‘€

fair adder
#

hmm

#

it kinda works

#

but at the same time it doesn't

#

okay im gonna do some enumiratior

glossy vessel
#

smb is also available

icy cave
#

9001 wokrs fine

fair adder
#

yah but what can i do with smb

glossy vessel
#

enumerate and access a share

fair adder
#

i just did

#

but there is nothing..

#

really need that start now button

dapper escarp

Would be a nice implementation to have a Ready up button once everyone is ready it starts in 60 seconds

stiff egret
#

yeah

quiet schooner
#

Rather than the votestart that was suggested...

stiff egret
#

idc anything to skip this wait will do. :/

dapper escarp
#

The 60 seconds once everyone would allow last minute joins to increase to max capacity

do you do bug bounty work?

#

and if i get good in these boxes, can i do bug bounty work, realistically?

#

or need up my levels?

dapper escarp
#

I'm probably one of the worst people to ask about bounty work, I occasionally attempt them but when I start hitting a hardened target I go to shit.

#

Honestly if you push yourself enough you can move into bug bounty for sure, it's more a mindset and a mental block than anything

Hackers scared them.

peak steppe
#

@stiff egret That was an intense one, wasn't it?

stiff egret
#

Thats a dick move

#

putting up loops to just urandom on every IP other then your is really low graded.

peak steppe
#

there is no loop for that.

#

Although the idea is good

stiff egret
#

With great power comes great responsibility

quiet schooner
#

Don't be a dick is an unwritten rule of decency

#

You're allowed

stiff egret
#

This peeps need to know that. making a loop to auto kick anyone other than you is a ULTRA NOOB signature.

quiet schooner
#

It's a defensive technique

#

It's not a good one

stiff egret
#

If no one can get it, the victory is pointless.

peak steppe
#

I already told you I was doing it manually, without the need of a loop

#

with pkill

peak steppe
#

In fairness, you did have the last 10 minutes available to do something

stiff egret
#

And in all fairness for other players (to try to play) I didnt change any password. I have one liners to do that. But If you don't let anyone get in the ring, then It wasn't much of a fight is it?

#

peace.

quiet schooner
#

Scripts that autoharden the box are explicitly banned, remember @stiff egret

spark holly
#

Just completed a koth challenge and connected to a share (no username, password) with an executable .bat file that would give the user running it king... just wondering if it's possible, any exploits or anything, to be able to somehow run commands on the remote machine without having been logged in, or get anywhere close to doing such a thing? I was connected using smbclient and I was able to get as far as downloading and upload files

stable horizon
#

smb is just file transfer

#

You'd need like meterpreter or something to run things

quiet schooner
#

@stable horizon SMB can run commands

spark holly
#

@quiet schooner how would you do that?

#

I found a bunch of usernames and passwords, tried using ssh and ftp, tried brute forcing, but nothing

quiet schooner
stable horizon
#

Really? Thought it was just the windows equivalent of quick FTP

#

sounds convenient

spark holly
#

@quiet schooner are you talking about being able to execute shell commands as you would normally do in cmd if you were on the machine?

spark holly
#

Awesome, thanks @quiet schooner

stable horizon
#

Send me over the IP for the system, wanna try that out

#

Oh right KOTH, sorry I thought it was a normal room

@fair adder Which?

#

There's two

#

Food or Hackers?

fair adder

hackers

#

escalated on every user... but there has to be a better way to get the access to them than the backwards way i got in

nova tide

wait for the next one you will hate him even more

thats what he says ^^

Next one isn't a KoTH

I can undo it if you like.

#

and then point you in the right direction

#

did you get a root shell?

#

And there's a second flag for you to find

raw bear
#

yeah I know the way in on port 3k

harsh obsidian
#

word. I don't need the win so I undid the flag thing. it's now up for grabs again, easily.

#

Don't forget the second flag

raw bear
#

Idc for the win either but I would like to snoop around if u would put the king.txt lock back

#

I would like to find ur patch

harsh obsidian
#

it's unlocked

raw bear
#

I just gave up to go smoke lol

harsh obsidian

lol

#

don't forget that there are two users with SSH access to the box. one password, one key

why change the user password tho

#

how am i supposed to get in lul

terse willow

That is kinda the point...

fair adder
#

oh

#

well

hollow stone
#

someone changed the passwords? i thought i was the only one with root and i didn't...

quiet schooner
#

You're allowed to fully patch the box

hollow stone
#

that's no fun though

#

i reset the two passwords i know

#

haven't cracked the one for food

quiet schooner
#

Have fun cracking those.

hollow stone
#

still not able to find the one flag i'm missing tho 😦

fair adder
#

find / | grep flag

#

dumb syntax but it works lmao im new on linux kekw

gusty cradle
#

@fair adder The command would execute, but it wouldn't return much, a better way would be to check for md5 hashes using grep

hollow stone
#

tried both of those already, my guess is that this one is encoded in some way

gusty cradle
#

@hollow stone I've used the md5 search on Food and believe me it works

hollow stone
#

ok, guess i need to try again then πŸ™‚

#

@fair adder did i leave pasta in sudoers or did you find a privesc i wasn't aware of?

fair adder
#

you did leave pasta in sudoers xD

hollow stone
#

guess i'm an idiot πŸ™‚

fair adder
#

well i cant ssh anymore

#

so im out i guess xD

hollow stone
#

someone changed pasta password again

#

and i think i patched all the other privescs

#

maybe there are more tho

fair adder
#

dunno, new to this box

fossil jackal
#

guys ssh password is changed ?

hollow stone
#

i think this is my 4th of 8 koth games i played...

fossil jackal
#

xD

hollow stone

also got offline twice

#

yep, the ones for pasta and ramen don't work anymore

fossil jackal
#

yea xD

#

that's my first time

#

hollow stone
#

well, i guess i should just copy/paste the flags and call it a day

fair adder
#

up form more koths? I joined late on this one

fossil jackal
#

guys could we talk voice room ?

fair adder
#

i cant really speak english that well

@nova tide I think that's a known bug

#

oh ok

#

login ssh then how can you save connection?
@fossil jackal ask the person who was setting netcat on bread xD ( @hollow stone )

fair adder
hollow stone
#

wasn't me, i already stopped playing when you came back, since i patched all privescs i knew about

nova tide
#

but you didnt patched the one you got in through?

hollow stone
#

i was just searching for the dreaded 8th flag

nova tide
#

i got root before the first reset

hollow stone
#

i added pasta to sudoers and forgot to remove it, then got kicked and couldn't get back as pasta πŸ™‚

i only know of 3 privescs, so i'm probably missing some

i was login wp then my payload is not works

#

mint cargo
#

so where did u find the 6th flag

#

yeah someone deleted the plugins.

#

i added a reverse shell in the wordpress code after that.

fossil jackal
#

@hollow stone or @nova tide xD

mint cargo
#

and someone changed shifu's password midway..

fossil jackal
#

yea

mint cargo
#

i was like did a ssh then coudn't login

hollow stone
#

@mint cargo DM me which ones you found, i didn't keep notes, but i'll look through my sessions

nova tide
#

i didn't even try getting it
@hollow stone my electricity went off after 10 minutes.. just came back

#

did you reset that game?

hollow stone
#

yeah, it was reset at some point, but i'm not sure when, since i was staring at linpeas output at the time and didn't even notice

#

still have no idea how i became king at the end...

nova tide
#

i think after 30 minutes coz thats when my king timer stopped

#

well there was 1 vote to reset the box right after it started.

fair adder
#

how do i copy over the missing binary?

#

is there a version i must match, or can i copy any version of it

nova tide
#

static binary

fair adder
#

where do i find those

#

im confused

#

i tried to scp binary from my machine

nova tide
#

just scroll a lil ^

mint cargo
#

yeah someone removed chattr and symlinked to /dev/null xD pure evil lol

fair adder
#

what folder should I download them from? And i just put them in their desired place and run? @nova tide πŸ˜„

stable horizon
#

not really pure evil seeing as you can just wget the binaries

nova tide
#

Google ?

#

umm just download the binary that you need

#

and place them in the box where required

fair adder
quiet schooner
mint cargo
#

yeah but i did which chattr and it was there. and then after i did the ls -l then i found out what is happening :-p @stable horizon

stable horizon
#

Still not pure evil, just download the binary

quiet schooner
#

lsattr

mint cargo
#

lol okay not pure evil. xD it was impure evil

nova tide
#

yeah but i did which chattr and it was there. and then after i did the ls -l then i found out what is happening :-p @stable horizon
@mint cargo also sometimes there are some binaries with the name are available but wont work so gotta replace those

#

For example chattr in prod

mint cargo
#

yeah as i said this was my first koth.. didn't comprehend the level at first.

spark holly
#

Ever played a koth where another person repeatedly sends output to dev/pts/x, and even sometimes output /dev/random to /dev/pts/x. It's just plain annoying, but I guess that's a strategy

There seems to be a problem for me. I am getting really high latency on the koth machines. Upto 700ms. I can't think of anything. Tried changing the vpn files as well. Can't even perform a simple nmap scan. Any idea what's going on?

Only on one machine, or on all of them?

@sullen hound bad form on shutting down a serveice...
And also against the fundamental rules of the game

@stable horizon @fair adder Shoot an email with the game id etc to the email on the rules page

stable horizon

I wasn't in the game, but I'm sure they'd be glad to

fair adder
#

well we all agree that moving a service is not against the rules but flat out shutting down the box is basically uncool

there are 2 sides to every story though

Terminating services is not allowed unless there's another way to patch it

ssh can be patched or atleast auth user removed
