Passback Attacks

Imagine we have a printer in the network. In the example on tryhackme we have access to the setting page. It has a login page so we can alter the Server IP and put ours instead
nc -lvp 389
We get a connection back when sending the form. The console shows supportedCapabilitiesresponse
As mentioned in the room:
"The supportedCapabilitiesresponse tells us we have a problem. Essentially, before the printer sends over the credentials, it is trying to negotiate the LDAP authentication method details. It will use this negotiation to select the most secure authentication method that both the printer and the LDAP server support. If the authentication method is too secure, the credentials will not be transmitted in cleartext. With some authentication methods, the credentials will not be transmitted over the network at all! So we can't just use normal Netcat to harvest the credentials. We will need to create a rogue LDAP server and configure it insecurely to ensure the credentials are sent in plaintext."
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y install slapd ldap-utils && sudo systemctl enable slapd
sudo dpkg-reconfigure -p low slapd to configure the LDAP server
We then have to make a file olcSaslSecProps.ldif
sudo ldapmodify -Y EXTERNAL -H ldapi:// -f ./olcSaslSecProps.ldif && sudo service slapd restart
sudo tcpdump -SX -i eth0 tcp port 389 (we need to replace eth0 with the appropriate interface)
And we should get the password, just like in the example from tryhackme :
