Bash

Bash Scripting Basics

[+] Shebang:

#!/bin/bash

[+] Variables

name=Bob
echo $name
user=$(whoami)
echo $user
echo 'Hello' $name. 'You are running as' $user.

[+] Simple script example

#!/bin/bash
clear
echo "Hello World"
name=Bob
ip=`ifconfig | grep "Bcast:" | cut -d":" -f2 | cut -d" " -f1`
echo "Hello" $name "Your IP address is:" $ip

[+] User Input

read -p "IP: " IP

Example script with read

#!/bin/bash
echo "Please input the IP address"
read -p "IP: " IP
ping -c 5 $IP

[+] Check For No User Input

if [ -z $domain ]; then
	echo
	echo "#########################"
	echo
	echo "Invalid choice."
	echo
	exit
fi

[+] For loops

#!/bin/bash

for host in $(cat hosts.txt)
do
	echo $host
done

[+] Port Scan one liner

for port in $(cat Ports.txt); do nc -nzv 192.168.0.1 $port & sleep 0.5; done

Check for root privileges

When user account created a user ID is assigned to each user. BASH shell stores the user ID in the $UID environment variable. The effective user ID is stored in the $EUID variable.

You can easily add a simple check at the start of a script to make sure it is being run with root privileges.

Old way to check for root privileges

#!/bin/bash

# Make sure only the root user can run the script
# Or it is run with sudo
if [ "$(id -u)" != "0" ]; then
   echo "This script must be run as root." 1>&2
   exit 1
fi

New way: Using EUID

#!/bin/bash

# Make sure only the root user can run our script
# Or it is run with sudo
if [[ $EUID -ne 0 ]]; then
   echo "This script must be run as root." 1>&2
   exit 1
fi

Add to multitool.sh: crack passwords with Hashcat

#crack passwords with hashcat; 

#get user input for attack type - make attack type listing with numeric selections;

#get user input for hash type 

hashcat --help | grep -i $hash_selection 
#|>then prompt user to input the hash type # identifier; 

#Get user input for file with hashes to crack
#|>Check if hashlist includes usernames (in format username:hash)
#|>if so add --username to hashcat syntax

#Get user input for password list to use for cracking

#Ask user if they want to apply any mangling rules or a mask
#|>if mask is chosen display a short help screen of default mask types
#|>as well as describe -1 and -2 user masks
#|>make sure character escapes work properly and don't cause problems below

echo '\?l = abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'
echo '\?u = ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
echo '\?d = 0123456789'
echo '\?s = \!\"\#\$\%\&\'\(\)\*\+\,\-\.\/\:\;\<\=\>\?\@\[\]\^\_\`\{\|\}\~'
echo '\?a = \?l\?u\?d\?s'
echo '\?b = 0x00 - 0xff'

#basic execution syntax: 
hashcat -D1,2 -O --force -a $attack_type -m $hash_id $hash_list $pass_list

#find out if hashcat has problems with blank variables
#|>if not then add variables for the proper flags + user input for mangling/masks
#|>ex: rules="-r $user_rules"

PHP Server

https://www.php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php When starting php -S on a mac (in my case macOS Sierra) to host a local server, I had trouble with connecting from legacy Java. As it turned out, if you started the php server with php -S localhost:80 the server will be started with ipv6 support only! To access it via ipv4, you need to change the start up command like so: php -S 127.0.0.1:80 which starts server in ipv4 mode only.

It’s not mentioned directly, and may not be obvious, but you can also use this to create a virtual host. This, of course, requires the help of your hosts file. Here are the steps:

1    /etc/hosts
    127.0.0.1    www.example.com
2    cd [root folder]
    php -S www.example.com:8000
3    Browser:
    http://www.example.com:8000/index.php

In order to set project specific configuration options, simply add a php.ini file to your project, and then run the built-in server with this flag: php -S localhost:8000 -c php.ini

Example #6 Accessing the CLI Web Server From Remote Machines You can make the web server accessible on port 8000 to any interface with: $ php -S 0.0.0.0:8000

Example #2 Starting with a specific document root directory

$ cd ~/public_html
$ php -S localhost:8000 -t foo/
Listening on localhost:8000
Document root is /home/me/public_html/foo

PHP Jail Escape

With file_get_contents()

print file_get_contents('flag.txt');

With readfile()

echo readfile("flag.txt");

With popen()

popen("vi", "w");

:r flag.txt
   or
:!/bin/bash

With highlight_file()

highlight_file(glob("flag.txt")[0]);
   or
highlight_file(glob("fl*txt")[0]);

With highlight_source()

highlight_source("flag.txt");
   or
highlight_source(glob("*")[4]);

With Finfo()

new Finfo(0,glob(hex2bin(hex2bin(3261)))[0]);
