nihilist - Legacy Writeup

Part 1 : Initial Enumeration

As always we begin our Enumeration using Nmap to enumerate opened ports.
We will be using the flags -sC for default scripts and -sV to enumerate versions.

  λ root [/home/nihilist] → nmap -sC -sV 10.10.10.4
  Starting Nmap 7.80 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2019-11-08 22:10 CET
  Nmap scan report for 10.10.10.4
  Host is up (0.044s latency).
  Not shown: 997 filtered ports
  PORT     STATE  SERVICE       VERSION
  139/tcp  open   netbios-ssn   Microsoft Windows netbios-ssn
  445/tcp  open   microsoft-ds  Windows XP microsoft-ds

  Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results at https://nmap.org/submit/ .
  Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 63.05 seconds

Here we can see that the port 139, 445, and 3389 are opened.
We will take a closer look at the port running the service .

Part 2 : Getting Access

It is highly likely that the machine is vulnerable to MS08-067 RCE so we will test it with the according metasploit module.

The module ms08_067_netapi requires us to set the above-mentionned options : RHOSTS and RPORT.

  msf5 exploit(windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi) > set RHOSTS 10.10.10.4
  RHOSTS => 10.10.10.4

the metasploit module was successful, it gave us a meterpreter shell with elevated privileges.
