<h2>BACKGROUND</h2>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="624" height="941" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-249.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1142194" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-249.png 624w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-249-199x300.png 199w" sizes="(max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px" /></figure>
</div>
<p>This CTF challenge is another blackbox-style pentest where we don’t know anything about our target other than the IP address. </p>
<p>We will have to discover ports and services running on the server with our standard pentesting tools like <code>nmap</code> and <code>dirb</code> scan. We also don’t have any inside information about the backend of the target machine. </p>
<p>Let’s get started!</p>
<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="840" height="474" src="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-237.png" alt="" class="wp-image-1141967" srcset="https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-237.png 840w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-237-300x169.png 300w, https://blog.finxter.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/image-237-768x433.png 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /></figure>
</div>
<p>We’ll be testing out the website <code>pentest.ws</code> during today’s video walkthrough. </p>
<p>It is a site designed for pentesters to keep track of their enumeration and credentials. The paid version also helps pentesters create professional VAPT reports (vulnerability assessment and penetration testing reports). </p>
<p>At the end of this post, I will summarize my thoughts on using <code>pentest.ws</code> for the first time.</p>
<h2>ENUMERATION/RECON</h2>

</div>
<p>We discovered a WordPress login at: <a href="http://internal.thm/blog/wp-login.php" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">http://internal.thm/blog/wp-login.php</a></p>
<h2>USING WPSCAN TO EXTRACT WORDPRESS LOGIN CREDENTIALS</h2>
<p>Let’s use <code>wpscan</code> to discover the admin’s email and password for WordPress.</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">wpscan --url 10.10.61.252/blog -e vpn,u -o wpscan.txt</pre>

</div>
<p>Now that we found a username, we can run <code>wpscan</code> again with a wordlist to brute-force the password.</p>
<pre class="EnlighterJSRAW" data-enlighter-language="generic" data-enlighter-theme="" data-enlighter-highlight="" data-enlighter-linenumbers="" data-enlighter-lineoffset="" data-enlighter-title="" data-enlighter-group="">wpscan --url 10.10.61.262/blog --usernames admin --passwords /home/kalisurfer/hacking-tools/rockyou.txt --max-threads 50 -o wpscan-passwds.txt</pre>

<p>Now we can log into WordPress and look for a place to upload a <a href="https://blog.finxter.com/ezpzshell-a-cool-all-in-one-python-script-that-simplifies-revshell-creation/" data-type="post" data-id="1118920" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">revshell</a>.</p>
<h2>INITIAL FOOTHOLD – SPAWN A REVSHELL BY EDITING 404.PHP</h2>

</div>
<p>We’ll edit the template for <code>404.php</code> and drop in a revshell created quickly and easily with EzpzShell.py. </p>
<p>If you want to learn more about <strong><code>ezpzshell</code></strong>, check out my previous blog post:</p>

<p>After copying the payload to <code>404.php</code>, we make sure it is saved and then trigger the payload:</p>

<p>And if everything is set up correctly, we will catch the revshell with <code>ezpz</code> as user: <code>www-data</code>.</p>

<p>We’ll use the script console on Jenkins to spawn another revshell using <em>groovy scripting language</em>. </p>
<p>We’ll use <code>ezpzshell</code> and choose the Java code, because <em>groovy </em>is built on Java. This time when we catch it, we will be user <code>jenkins</code>. </p>

<p>I’m not convinced yet that <code>pentest.ws</code> will save me much time on my note taking. Maybe with time and experience it would help. </p>
<p>I think the report features that are available for paying subscribers might be just helpful enough to keep me using their platform. </p>
<p>However, I have concerns about security of their platform, as findings from pentesting can be sensitive and generally include login credentials and other passwords. </p>
<p>Overall, I enjoyed the challenge of this box, especially the part where we set up port forwarding via SSH login to expose the Jenkins login portal to our attack machine.</p>
