stable narwhal
#

Who's playing and when?

#

Tempted to participate

latent shell
#

we have 17mins to go for the game to start

grand ember
#

i have no idea how much the other players play koth

#

i just know i don't do it much kekw

rotund topaz
#

@grand ember

#

uh oh

#

you better not abuse me blobnotlikethis

grand ember
#

lmao

rotund topaz
#

this is gonna be fun

grand ember
#

if it's carnage and others don't know the box well then you're probably dead

rotund topaz
#

I can only play for half of it as well

#

could you like

#

not patch it

grand ember
#

i don't know most boxes that well

rotund topaz
#

just so I get a flag

#

neither

grand ember
#

lmao

#

no shell on fortune nor hackers

#

got something on offline but not king

#

lion i played on stream with ash and superhero and just used a random exploit someone uploaded lol

rotund topaz
#

huh fair enough

#

never done anything on offline

#

got one flag

#

that was as risky as it gets

#

oh well

#

it was nice knowing you

grand ember
#

😄

#

10 minutes

quiet schooner
#

no shell on fortune nor hackers
@grand ember hackers has a writeup 😉

grand ember
#

i know

#

i'll use it if it's that

stiff egret
#

Uh Uh,
BTW, We have planned resets at every 20 minutes, to make it fair game for others who are trying to get in. (SECARMY KoTH July)

rotund topaz
#

hackers has a writeup?

#

that's kinda boring though isn't it

#

no point in cheating I mean

grand ember
#

i mean that's half of the job tho

#

you still need to patch it

stiff egret
#

i mean that's half of the job tho
@grand ember Yeah

rotund topaz
#

yeah true I guess

#

but still

#

means you can get in so much faster can't you

grand ember
#

at least the writeup doesn't have an autopwn script kekw

#

the event is for people that already know koth somehow i guess

stiff egret
#

I had a PUBLIC repo on almost all machines of koth to get fastest root. BUT, That's almost useless because others will kick you if you don't set up any persistence.

rotund topaz
#

I need a guide on how to establish persistence not gonna lie

grand ember
#

your repo only describes one way per box

#

and there are always multiple

stiff egret
#

your repo only describes one way per box
@grand ember Yep

grand ember
#

so you have advantage

#

over the ones that use your repo

stiff egret
#

Yep 😉

rotund topaz
#

smart

stiff egret
#

[that was intended]

rotund topaz
#

I think I know food quite well

#

but that's literally it

stiff egret
#

I need a guide on how to establish persistence not gonna lie
@rotund topaz Might make one soon

rotund topaz
#

would be very interested to see it

#

quite enjoy the blue team stuff

#

even if I'm not very good at it

grand ember
#

i need to finish the rootkit for persistence i started making two months ago kekw

rotund topaz
#

you have...

#

a rootkit...

grand ember
#

not the only one lmao

#

there are a couple of players

rotund topaz
#

oh yeah that donut guy had one

#

smh

grand ember
#

most notably myDonut

rotund topaz
#

might go die

#

ye

grand ember
#

grand ember
#

rotund topaz
#

😉

grand ember
#

rotund topaz

grand ember
#

#

depends on the box

stiff egret
rotund topaz
#

only playing for 15 minutes today

stiff egret
#

Try to stay in top 2.

rotund topaz
#

I would like to, but 15 minutes doesn't give me much chance does it

grand ember
#

ugh tyler

rotund topaz
#

wtf is tyler

#

never heard of it

#

ugh

stiff egret
#

Its rather easy.

#

very easy

rotund topaz
#

is it?

#

I just want root

#

then get all the flags

#

then leave

#

no persistence

quiet schooner
#

Don't need persistence if you patch the whole box RollSafeGif

stiff egret
#

@quiet schooner Can I DM?

quiet schooner
#

Sure, but I can't promise to answer any questions

stiff egret
#

Makes sense.

grand ember
#

oh hey @lyric holly

stiff egret
#

grand ember
#

stiff egret
#

grand ember
#

this one is the winrar's jammy

#

stiff egret
#

🤦‍♂️ LOL

grand ember
#

i still only know one way to privesc lmao

stiff egret
#

Which one?

grand ember

stiff egret
#

#

You missed a match, myDonut was in game yesterday

grand ember

stiff egret
#

stiff egret

time to turn on obs and walk around that
@grand ember Yeah, I saw John doing that and realised that was a 999 IQ move

@grand ember Yep,

grand ember

nova tide
#

they updated something szy.. if you look at their messages in their discord.. they cancelled your game so you are not qualified

grand ember
#

lol

latent shell
#

lmao

nova tide
#

ppl said ex #1 in THM isnt allowed in KoTH

stiff egret
#

It's a joke, we are talking about the idea that what if we decided to select only top 2 from all games.

grand ember
#

lmao

nova tide
#

so management had to drop you out of the game

#

Sorry it was fun meeting you

#

see you later

stiff egret
#

ppl said ex #1 in THM isnt allowed in KoTH
@nova tide I'll second that

grand ember
#

nova tide
#

@grand ember well if we were to count those i won hackers and carnage after that

@grand ember that was supposed to be a test game i asked elf to create and share with mee.. you joined for no reason 😄

#

Can I DM any mod I need to know what is considered autopwn and what not ? Thanks

terse willow
#

Go for it @rancid pewter

elfin charm
autumn iron
#

5mins

nova tide
#

@terse willow can you let us know what is allowed and what is not? not the method myDonut asked you but just the general things.. what we are allowed to do.

stiff egret
#

autopwns are kinda in grey area, Please clear these things.

nova tide
terse willow
#

@nova tide the way I would define an autopwn is a script designed to automatically exploit a specific machine.

nova tide
#

so a script that hardens the machine is allowed?

terse willow
#

So essentially if you stick a curl command into a script, that automatically gets you a reverse shell on one of the boxes, I would consider that an autopwn -- even if the privesc is manual.

nova tide
#

so a script that hardens the machine is allowed?
rootkit is just an example of that

terse willow
#

But a script that activates curl based on arguments given at runtime is not, because it can be used on anything.

#

Again, if it's a script that's designed to harden a specific machine (or even the Koth machines in general) I would have said no.
If you can use it on your own machine then I would personally allow it.

#

Rootkits are kinda a grey area. They're obviously allowed, given the famous myDonut rootkit 😆
Again, given they're reusable across lots of machines (insofar as kernels allow) I would have said they're just on the legal side of the line.

#

Yep, exactly @stiff egret. Borderline, but I would say probably on the correct side of the border.

stiff egret
#

Yeah, figured that.

terse willow
#

They make it virtually impossible for new players, or even people without their own. I would imagine that takes the fun out of the game for people.

#

But not strictly illegal.

stiff egret
#

Yes!

terse willow
#

I mean, myDonut has been doing it for months and no admins have got involved 🤷‍♂️

stiff egret
#

I mean, myDonut has been doing it for months and no admins have got involved 🤷‍♂️
@terse willow Actually this stirred up after a disqualification of a player in KoTH-July, reason: autopwns.

terse willow
#

What were they doing?
Also if this is the SecArmy thing, remember that the competition is in their hands -- not ours. If they want to extend (or even change) the normal rules for their own competition, that's their choice.

grand ember
#

so a script that makes uploading files easy for a koth box shouldn't count as an autopwn?

#

it isn't only centered on a koth box tbh, used it on a htb machine too

terse willow
#

As in, a script that automatically starts something like a webserver?

grand ember
#

no

#

just helps with uploading a file as another file

terse willow
#

I mean, if it has multiple uses, and is basically just a general "tool" of your own creation then it's absolutely fine

#

The only time it gets bad is if you're developing something specifically designed to exploit one (or more, if you're being very clever) of the Koth boxes.

grand ember
#

metasploitkothframework

terse willow
#

smh 😆

grand ember
#

just making little modules and chaining them kekw

gusty cradle
#

🤔

grand ember
#

So essentially if you stick a curl command into a script, that automatically gets you a reverse shell on one of the boxes, I would consider that an autopwn -- even if the privesc is manual.
but by that thinking if you get this curl command into history and just reuse it from that it's not an autopwn then right? GWaobloChildPepeSweat

#

because that's what i've been doing in all games

#

don't bash the cat with a hammer!

gusty cradle
#

grand ember
#

smh malware

#

gusty cradle
#

😄

nova tide
#

so a script that makes uploading files easy for a koth box shouldn't count as an autopwn?
@grand ember how fast you want to root carnage? 😄

grand ember
#

i've been using it for a long time now on that box

#

if i wanted an autopwn i'd make a handler and automate the privesc

#

with added patching of all other vulns

#

it's a variation of a script I made for a htb box

nova tide
#

i think i can make autopwn for tyler that would patch every possible way in and set persistence for me.. so it would be game over as soon as the ip shows up 🤷‍♀️

grand ember
#

if i played more i probably could make one for each linux machine

#

autopwn scripts are a fun excercise for chaining different vulns but using them doesn't feel fun like manually exploiting things under pressure

nova tide
#

if i played more i probably could make one for each linux machine
@grand ember try for hackers

#

autopwn scripts are a fun excercise for chaining different vulns but using them doesn't feel fun like manually exploiting things under pressure
@grand ember true

grand ember
#

that'd just require me to add a bruteforce into the autopwn

nova tide
#

Hackers

stiff egret
#

yes

patent forge
#

is it difficult or am i so noob?

#

i found something about cookies

stiff egret
#

It is hard.

#

Took me a long while to hack this one.

patent forge
#

but didn't managed to get in (i'm a nooby)

#

have you got any hint? (the koth just ended)

stiff egret
#

DM, posting here will be spoiler.

#

I ain't telling that one 😉 @nova tide

nova tide
#

I ain't telling that one 😉 @nova tide
@stiff egret ik that's a secret.. if that one gets leaked then hackers is easiest machine.

stiff egret
#

@stiff egret ik that's a secret.. if that one gets leaked then hackers is easiest machine.
@nova tide Exactly and you discovered it, so untill you open it, I am not telling anybody.

nova tide
#

make a private write-up on that.. and release after the competition

#

i will write one after the competition as well for all the koth boxes.. not every way in but the easier ones.. atleast 1,2 for each box

stiff egret
#

make a private write-up on that.. and release after the competition
@nova tide done

#

i will write one after the competition as well for all the koth boxes.. not every way in but the easier ones.. atleast 1,2 for each box
@nova tide nice idea

nova tide
#

for now Teams meeting started and paper starting in 7 minutes

and i am clueless 😄

...hackers has a public writeup lol

grand ember
#

Ninja or Muri

#

is turning the webserver on hackers ok? it's the only way to "patch" the entry point

nova tide
#

before that just patch the two privesc methods from prod

grand ember
#

yeah that too

#

but patching entries is also important

nova tide
#

yeah but that's going to be a bit faster

#

later that you can edit the webserver

#

Or Delete it

gusty cradle
#

~~Just use ufw and deny all ports(except ssh), and then setup up an iptables rule that only allows your ip into ssh ~~

nova tide
#

Noted

gusty cradle
#

Don't think it's allowed

nova tide
#

its not

quiet schooner
#

is turning the webserver on hackers ok? it's the only way to "patch" the entry point
@grand ember replace with a python http.server

#

You still have a webserver so it's still available to legitimate users of the service

grand ember
#

🤔

gusty cradle
#

🤔

grand ember
#

weeeird

#

the python server lists the files but doesn't want to show them

quiet schooner
#

Works on my machine ™

grand ember
#

yeah, it works on my machine too

#

just not on the thm one

quiet schooner
#

Make sure you serve from the right dir

#

Specifically the resources dir

grand ember
#

yeah that's what I've been doing

#

it shows the file list on /

#

but everything else is 404

#

perms are right

anyone who would like to do a KOTH? nooby here

I can do later if anyone up for it

nova tide
#

@tepid hornet never saw you in Bash Breakers or Screamy discord server either..

tepid hornet
#

I have never heard of those servers

nova tide
#

aah ok

#

btw there's a competition going on in screamy server for koth

tepid hornet
#

Yeah you told me about that, I think

#

What are those servers tho ?

nova tide
#

in these groups there are multiple indians as well. so i thought you may know of those

tepid hornet
#

Maybe you can link me up in the DM 🙂

nova tide
#

whoever that n3m guy is using wall in a loop wont just let you keep king

sturdy plank
#

he dont

#

i used

quiet schooner
#

Not banned, but not a good defence

nova tide
#

not against the rule

#

but pretty sure now he don't know how to come out of that

#

and he just locked himself

sturdy plank
#

also naughty used tty to run nyancat on us before

quiet schooner
#

And?

nova tide
#

That's not against the rules either

sturdy plank
#

nothing just want to say if i against the rules naughty against the rules too

quiet schooner
#

No one accused you.

nova tide
#

no one said that you broke any rules

#

it was a good trick though

sturdy plank
#

i know

nova tide
#

but you need to find how you should come out of it as well

quiet schooner
#

Even if they said you broke the rules, defending yourself by saying "Hey look what this other person did too!" isn't a defence.

sturdy plank
#

also i have a command to use tty for that

#

but the problem is i dont have time

#

and a big problem is i'm not good with touch pad

#

and i must sleep

quiet schooner
#

Then you know what you need to work on.

sturdy plank
#

bye

#

Then you know what you need to work on.
i told that i worked

#

i have the command in one of my file

quiet schooner
#

that's not what I said, at all.

#
and a big problem is i'm not good with touch pad
and i must sleep``` Three problems. So you can work on improving and stop having those problems
#

That's the point of practice

sturdy plank
#

ok

#

and @nova tide nice game, ur hack is good!

@nova tide can you teach me techniques in solving koth?

As Ninja would say:
KoTH machines are meant to be challanges. There are already writeups for two of them(food and hackers). I can help you with something but I can't help you rooting a KoTH machine..

ah loop to send ; use; delete the binary?

yesh

pretty nice idea tho, but loop will die if the speed fluctuates and there are other loops running
