TryHackMe - Bebop


Description

Hello hackers, I hope you are doing well. We are doing Bebop from TryHackMe.

Enumeration

nmap

We start a nmap scan using the following command: sudo nmap -sC -sV -T4 {target_IP}.

  • -sC: run all the default scripts.

  • -sV: Find the version of services running on the target.

  • -T4: Aggressive scan to provide faster results.

Service Info: OS: FreeBSD; CPE: cpe:/o:freebsd:freebsd

We found two open ports, 22/tcp running OpenSSH and 23/tcp running telnetd on FreeBSD OS.

Foothold

At the first task we were given codename pilot, so let’s try connecting to telnet using that name.

Great! We got the initial shell.

Privilege Escalation

Let’s check out privileges with sudo -l.

[pilot@freebsd ~]$ sudo -l
User pilot may run the following commands on freebsd:
    (root) NOPASSWD: /usr/local/bin/busybox

We can run busybox as root.

Checking busybox on GTFOBins, we see that we can run sudo busybox sh and get root.

Nice, we got root.
