# Archangel
## Task 1: Deploy the machine
## Task 2: Get a shell
### Question
> Find a different hostname
* Let's scan the target using `nmap`.
```
$ nmap -sC -sV 10.10.216.22
Starting Nmap 7.92 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2023-12-08 09:44 IST
Nmap scan report for 10.10.216.22
Host is up (0.15s latency).

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 34.64 seconds
```
* As we can see there are three open ports:
* Port 22: ssh
* Port 80: http
* We can now visit the web page through our browser. !\[\[2 92.png]]
* The email address tells us what the other domain is.
### Answer
```
mafialive.thm
```
### Question
> Find flag 1
* Let's add `mafialive.thm` to our `/etc/hosts` file. !\[\[3 72.png]]
* We can now check if we can find something in `mafialive.thm`. !\[\[4 57.png]]
### Answer
```
thm{f0und_th3_r1ght_h0st_n4m3}
```
### Question
> Look for a page under development
* We can go to `/robots.txt` to see if any pages are disallowed. Those pages could be under development. !\[\[5 41.png]]
* Let's go to `/test.php`. !\[\[6 30.png]]
### Answer
```
test.php
```
### Question
> Find flag 2
* Let's try to read the source code of `/test.php`. !\[\[7 24.png]]
* Looks like we are not allowed to read the `/test.php` source code.
* We can use the `php://filter` to encode the source code to Base64 and bypass the security.
#### php\://filter
```
http://mafialive.thm/test.php?view=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=/var/www/html/development_testing/test.php
```
!\[\[8 20.png]]
* Let's decode the Base64 string.
```

```
* The flag is in the comment.
### Answer

```
### Question
> Get a shell and find the user flag
* Let's take a closer look at the `test.php` code.
#### test.php
```php
INCLUDE
Test Page. Not to be Deployed
```
* We can see that it disallows the use of `../..`.
* Also, the URI must contain `/var/www/html/development_testing`.
* Using this information we can craft an exploit that gives the Apache `àccess.log` logs.
#### access.log
```
http://mafialive.thm/test.php?view=/var/www/html/development_testing/..//..//..//..//../log/apache2/access.log
```
!\[\[9 15.png]]
* Let's intercept the request using Burpsuite. !\[\[11 8.png]]
* We have to change the `User-Agent` field to the following:
```
```
!\[\[12 7.png]]
* We can now upload a PHP reverse shell to the server. Let's go to Revshells.
```
```
* Let's brute force the web pages using `gobuster`.
```
