Brute Forcing a 32 Character Luks Password by Sequentially Iterating through a 32 Character Hex String

2013-10-17T09:59:00.003-06:00

Just an example of iterating through a 32 character hex string. As an example we're brute-forcing a Luks encryption password where the password is known to be a 128 bit hex string (good luck).

From irb, we find our largest number:

> "ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff".to_i(16)
=> 340282366920938463463374607431768211455

Now we iterate, pad, and pass the value to luks:

(0..340282366920938463463374607431768211455).each do |num|
pass = sprintf("%032x", num)
print "Passing #{pass}..."
`echo -ne "#{pass}\r\n" | cryptsetup -q luksOpen /dev/sdb1 secureUSB`
end

Simple Script to Update All of Your Ubuntu Machines Securely Over SSH from One Central Location

2012-11-23T10:17:00.001-07:00

First configure certificate-based authentication with no password on the server that will manage the updates for the rest of your hosts:

$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

Generating public/private rsa key pair.

Enter file in which to save the key (/home/<YOURUSERNAME>/.ssh/id_rsa): <ENTER>

Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <ENTER>

Enter same passphrase again: <ENTER>

Your identification has been saved in /home/<YOURUSERNAME>/.ssh/id_rsa.

Your public key has been saved in /home/<YOURUSERNAME>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.

The key fingerprint is:

82:ef:d2:3a:b3:5f:9d:bc:41:ac:10:42:8f:a3:24:02 <YOURUSERNAME>@<THE_UPDATE_SERVER>

The key's randomart image is:

+--[ RSA 2048]----+

| E.. . |

| o o |

| . = o |

| + + . . |

| o S . o |

| . . . = . |

| ... o = |

| . . + . o |

| .. .=. . |

+-----------------+

This will generate ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub - copy the contents of this file into ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on every host you'd like to update (~/.ssh/authorized_keys should be the home folder of the user that will be used to ssh into the host that will obtain an update).

Once you can ssh into each host from the server without entering a password, create the file /usr/local/etc/update_da_boxen.config on the update server:

$ sudo touch /usr/local/etc/update_da_boxen.config

Next include one username@host_to_update entry on each line within /usr/local/etc/update_da_boxen.config:

johndoe@firsthosttoupdate

jackie@seconfdhosttoupdate

janedee@thirdhosttoupdate

Save your changes and ensure the file is only readable by root:

chmod 600 /usr/local/etc/update_da_boxen.config && chown root:root /usr/local/etc/update_da_boxen.config

Next create /usr/local/scripts/update_da_boxen.rb:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

target_user_at_hosts_file = '/usr/local/etc/update_da_boxen.config'

File.read(target_user_at_hosts_file).each_line do |l|

user_at_host = l.strip.chomp

system("ssh #{user_at_host} 'sudo apt-get update'")

system("ssh #{user_at_host} 'sudo apt-get upgrade --assume-yes'")

system("ssh #{user_at_host} 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade --assume-yes'")

end

Save your changes and make /usr/local/scripts/update_da_boxen.rb executable:

$ sudo chmod 700 /usr/local/scripts/update_da_boxen.rb && sudo chown root:root /usr/local/scripts/update_da_boxen.rb

To ensure the example script above works, your remote SSH user must be added as a sudoer on the client host that will be included in the update pool:

# visudo

If you don't want to have to type a password to obtain sudo authorization, enter the following:

<YOURUSERNAME> ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL

Replace <YOURUSERNAME> with the SSH user of the host that will be updated.

Cheers!

Introducing watirfall - An Automated Human Approach for Very Surgical Web Engagements

2012-07-03T20:30:00.002-06:00

Decided to start working on a "smart" web-based class capable of behaving as if it were human. This class can be used when a "surgical approach" is preferable during web security engagements. This class currently works with the Firefox and Chrome browsers under both Linux and MacOSX. It will allow you to drive a browser automatically, taking advantage of the built-in JavaScript engines found in the most popular browsers. The following is an example of how to use it.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require './watirfall_config'

require './watirfall'

watirfall_config = WatirfallConfig.new

watirfall_config.as_firefox

wf = Watirfall.new(watirfall_config)

browser = wf.startup

browser.goto("http://www.ksl.com")

browser.text_field(:id => 'search_keyword').click

wf.type_as_human("watirfall") {|char| browser.text_field(:id => 'search_keyword').send_keys char}

browser.text_field(:id => 'search_keyword').send_keys :enter

If you feel you'd like to give this code a go, you can find it at https://github.com/ninp0/kore_kit/tree/master/lib/kore_kit/web/watirfall

For more information around driving this browser, the real sauce is found within watir-webdriver.

Streamlining the Evolution of Application Development by Developing a Periodic Table of Classes

2012-06-14T23:54:00.004-06:00

"The best designs are those that mimic life."

Remember the aforementioned statement, as it's critically important to reflect upon this statement as you read further.

Now, when we begin to imagine how the building blocks of life interact and bond with one another at a sub-atomic >> atomic >> molecular level to form more self-aware and complex forms of life, it's easy to consider how those building blocks of life provide an excellent model to approach object oriented design within applications we write for ourselves and others. "Phew, that was a long run-on sentence to consume..." Run through it again.

Atoms, when bound with other atoms, produce various compounds (molecules). For example, two Hydrogen atoms and one Oxygen atom when bound, form a single water molecule. Now stay with me here, there's a point to all of this...that is if you haven't already started to understand why this is such a beautiful mindset to develop when designing applications.

When new programmers design code (and I've certainly been guilty of this as well), it's pretty common to write an application top-to-bottom...in one file. Cool, it works...at least for the time being. We do this because we have deadlines and we believe it's the fastest way to accomplish our goal or the goal of our employers. It's time to think differently now that we're stepping back a bit further, thinking deeper, and really wrapping our minds around the bigger picture (all in the spirit of supporting maintainability, scalability, re-usability, interoperability, and my favorite collaboritive code to share with one another). While we're here, let's ask ourselves...aren't we sick of copying and pasting code or worse yet, sick of writing the same code snippets over and over? Me too.

An application can become harder and harder to manage over time as change presents itself. Change is inevitable and this is especially true over longer periods of time - more folks depend on your application because hey, it makes their life easier right? As a result, new requirements also present themselves - life never seems easy enough for most. This is perfectly okay because it's this fundamental desire that can drive innovation and the progression within all of us.

Unfortunately, the top-to-bottom evolution process likely results in hundreds, if not thousands of lines of code all managed in a single file (or a small collections of files). It's likely we can all agree that wrapping our minds around the logic contained within hundreds, if not thousands of lines of code in aggregate simply becomes...a huge pain in the ass. In simpler terms this approach could be described as the, "Dodo Bird Approach" to development - a development design mindset that can't adapt to it's ever-changing and demanding environment - ultimately leading to its extinction.

Now, back to life's approach to design - particularly at the atomic/elemental level. Looking at the periodic table of elements we start to notice a pattern - all elements/atoms contain certain properties that define how they behave. For the context of this post, we will assert that the properties of an element/atom are synonymous to the methods/functions/subroutines found within a particular "elemental/atomic class."

What this means from the perspective of a developer is the need to create our own "periodic table of classes" - each with their own specific properties (public/private methods) small enough to share and use interchangeably to streamline the application development process. The classes only focus on accomplishing a specific task and should only focus on that task. An example of this may be an "element" designed to connect and interact with various types of databases. We instantiate a collection of various "elemental/atomic classes" to create a complex organism (the application), capable of evolving in a manner that makes it more efficient through its evolution process.

In essence, when we think of object oriented design in this context we are actually thinking about how to design code in way that is meant to be shared, providing an opportunity to learn from one another. This in turn promotes innovation, an efficient evolution process to support the ever-changing demands of our environment, and ultimately a means to present a better quality of life for one another. Big things start really small and as a person smarter than Myself once said, simply put...the best designs are those that mimic life.

An excellent book around more design patterns is called, "Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software"

I hope this mindset helps you as it's certainly helped me...

# git clone git://github.com/ninp0/console_crayon.git

# gem install rainbow

I particularly like using it with tcpdump when monitoring pf in realtime via OpenBSD:

# cd console_crayon && ./console_crayon.rb -c 'tcpdump -nettt -i pflog0' -m 'pass,green,white|block,red,white'

but I'm sure you could use it for a million other things...enjoy!

Intermediate Example:
    Start a MITM Proxy (e.g. BurpSuite, Paros, etc.)
        java -Xmx512m -jar burpsuite.jar
    Now perform a Request on the URL Below via the MITM Proxy:
        ./hachoo.rb -P '127.0.0.1' -p 8080 -u 'http://hang4r.blogspot.com'

Advanced Example:

Grokking CSVs Easier in STDOUT

2011-08-24T19:20:00.001-06:00

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'rainbow' # To make things a bit more readable

require 'csv' # using just split won't work cause of \n in some fields

if ARGV[0].nil?

puts "#{$0} <csv_file>"

exit

Enabling Remote X11 Forwarding Over SSH Despite IPv6 Bug

2011-08-02T11:31:00.002-06:00

Run ps -ef | grep X on your X client (the remote box) and your X server (in this case, you local machine in which you intend to have the GUI application displayed)

Your output SHOULD look very similar to this:
/usr/bin/X :0 vt07 -nolisten tcp

It is perfectly acceptable that the -nolisten tcp is enabled and running on both the X client and X server

/etc/ssh/ssh_config (Your local machine i.e. your ssh client)

Host *

ForwardAgent no

ForwardX11 yes

ForwardX11Trusted no

/etc/ssh/sshd_config (Your sshd server i.e. your remote ssh server)

X11Forwarding yes

X11DisplayOffset 10

Try running xclock. At this point, I was getting:

Error: Can't find display

And running:

echo $DISPLAY

resulted in nothing.

If you experience similar issues, you've configured the options in /etc/ssh/ssh_config & /etc/ssh/sshd_config, and get the following error when authenticating with your ssh server (evident on sshd server by running tail -f /var/log/auth.log):

error: Failed to allocate internet-domain X11 display socket.

Then ensure the following is configured within /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

AddressFamily inet

Restart your sshd server:

/etc/init.d/sshd restart

Exit your shell by hitting CTRL+d

Re-authenticate:

ssh -X <user>@<host>

echo $DISPLAY

and you should see:

localhost:10.0

Run xlock and viola! Awesomeness. Cheers!

Converting IPv4 Addresses into Memory Addresses

2011-08-01T13:53:00.000-06:00

This is helpful when you're writing your own Metasploit modules with custom shellcode:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# Enjoy ;)

ip = ARGV[0]
if ip.split(".").count == 4
print "0x"
ip.split(".").reverse.each do |octet|
print "%02x" % octet.to_i
end
print "\n"
else
puts "Invalid IPv4 Address"
end

Dynamically Attaching MULTIPLE Files to Emails in Ruby Using Pony

2011-07-26T23:52:00.006-06:00

I struggled with this one a bit, so I figured I'd share it with those that may be in a similar place. Okay, so here was the goal - obtain the directory listings of a folder (which contained folders named after recipients) and recursively find every file in the recipient folder. Once a file(s) is found in the corresponding recipient folder, add the file(s) as an attachment to one email. Pheww, that can take the breath out of a person. If you have a better way of accomplishing this goal, then please share! :)

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
require 'pony'
smtp_relay = "smtp_relay.somedomain.com"
name_root = “~/my_mail_list_dir/”
attachment_hash = {}
Dir.entries(name_root).each do |name|
# Replace message text with name
msg_body = File.read("~/email_msg.txt").gsub("NAME_OF_PERSON", name)
# Recurse each name folder and find corresponding files to add as attachments
Dir["#{name_root}/#{name}/**"].each do |attachment|
    if File.file?(current_attachment) == true
      current_attachment_name = File.basename(current_attachment)
      attachment_hash["#{current_attachment_name}"] = "#{File.binread(current_attachment)}"
    end
end

Pony.mail(
    :to => "destination@domain.com",
    :from => "source@otherdestination.com",
    :subject => "The Subject",
    :body => msg_body,
:attachments => attachment_hash,
    :via => :smtp,
    # It's important to note that you should use SMTPS (TCP port 465)
    # whenever possible - I only had a inadequate SMTP (TCP port 25)
    # relay at my disposal at the time of this writing
    :via_options => {
      :address => smtp_relay,
      :port => 25,
      :enable_starttls_auto => false
    }
)

# Reset attachments for new owner
attachment_hash = {}
end

Hope it helps ya! Cheers!

The Beauty of Using "apt-file" whilst Dealing with Dependencies whilst Compiling Software

2011-07-25T21:18:00.001-06:00

Let's take an example - compiling hydra. Hydra is "a very fast network logon cracker which support many different services." Hydra can be found at:
http://thc.org/thc-hydra/

For this exercise we used the following direct links:
http://www.thc.org/releases/hydra-6.5-src.tar.gz
http://thc.org/thc-hydra/hydra-6.5-fix.diff

Let's get started. First, install apt-file:

root@hostname:~# apt-get install apt-file
update its database
root@hostname:~# apt-file update
now let the configuring begin:

root@hostname:~# mkdir hydra

wreckergrep One-Liner

2011-07-24T13:56:00.003-06:00

find . -iname "<search_pattern>" -print | while read f; do grep -Ril <search_file_content> "$f"; done

OR

#!/bin/bash

# wreckergrep.sh

find . -iname "<search_pattern>" -print | while read f; do

grep -Ril $1 "$f"

done

Okay,

Now save the file as wreckergrep.sh and change your permissions:
chmod 755 wreckergrep.sh

Use your new utility with the following syntax:

./wreckergrep.sh <search_file_pattern>

So, for example running the one-liner:
find . -iname "*.py" -print | while read f; do grep -Ril http "$f"; done

Will return every python file containing the search_file_pattern "http"

Hopefully this helps ya out in a pinch ;)

Later skaterz ;)

Script that Rips the Largest Track from DVD and Encodes as AVI from the Command Line

2011-07-24T11:23:00.012-06:00

Hello again folks!

Time to share an oldie but goodie - ripping movies from a DVD using Linux via the command line. This is useful if you're tired of pointing and clicking around GUI rippers, you're working on DVD ripping automation, etc.

This script will grab the largest track from a DVD (i.e. the actual movie) and convert the track to AVI (MPEG-4):

#!/bin/bash
main_feature=`lsdvd | grep "Longest track" | awk '{print $3}'` # Choose the largest track for the main feature
out_file="/home/cerberus/Videos/$1.avi"
if [[ $1 != "" ]]; then
mencoder dvd://$main_feature -nosub -noautosub -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate="1200" -vf scale -zoom -xy 720 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=128 -alang en -o $out_file
else
echo "./rip_dvd_2_avi.sh <name_of_dvd>"
#echo "Available Tracks are: "
#lsdvd
fi

Save the file as rip_dvd_2_avi.sh and change the permissions using the following command:

chmod 755 rip_dvd_2_avi.sh

Now, create a Videos folder in your home directory OR change the path of the out_file variable found on line 4 in the bash script above:

mkdir ~/Videos

and last but not least execute your super awesome script:

./rip_dvd_2_avi.sh TheNameofYourDVD

That's it. Until next time peeps!

Control the Window Geometry of Any Linux / BSD Graphical Application....

2011-06-19T19:58:00.012-06:00

Super short and sweet post this time...

Did you know that you can can control the window geometry and placement of any graphical application in most, if not all, desktop environments/window managers, permitted an x window environment is available (e.g. Xorg)?

This is useful with machines when you notice the same graphical applications staying open. Another benefit is that it provides the means to be more efficient when you can start to remember where specific windows are located at any given moment. Here's the one liner - feel free to use this code to automate your desktops into productive and friendly minions:

Said one-liner:

$ wmctrl -l | grep -i konqueror | awk '{print $1}' | while read win_id; do transset-df -i $win_id 0.9; wmctrl -ir $win_id -e 0,0,1700,1200,185; done

Here's a quick explanation of the aforementioned one-liner (ensure konqueror is already running):

"wmctrl -l" provides a list of every graphical window currently running.
"grep -i konqueror" looks for a case-insensitive window titled, "konqueror."
"awk '{print $1}'" only displays the first column of the "konqueror" line from stdout via "wmctrl -l." The first column is the window id for Konqueror.
"while read wind_id; do " read in the id column (first column) from "wmctrl -l"
"transset-df -i $wind_id 0.9;" change translucency of window to 0.9. Love it.
"wmctrl -ir $wind_id -e 0,0,1700,1200,185;" change the geometry (size) of the window and its placement (where the window will actually reside on the desktop)
"done" all done ;)

Hope you find this useful!

Control a Synergy Server and its Clients from One Server Script, One Keyboard, and One Mouse - the Easy Way

2011-06-19T18:17:00.021-06:00

Today we're going to cover an amazing little utility that has made many-a-boxen here at the hang4r look like Tank's operator station from the movie, "The Matrix."

This little utility is known as synergy and is used for controlling multiple computers from one keyboard and mouse over any network. For more information on installation/configuration, please visit here.

Unfortunately, synergy comes with one noticeable caveat - no network traffic encryptie supportie. Guess we'll have to remedy that, won't we?

Now, there are plenty of blogs out there on the ol dub-dub-dub that describe how to enable network-based encryption for synergy using stunnel or openssh. Unfortunately, they typically present this with a solution that requires a series of scripts that live on the synergy server (synergys) and the synergy client (synergyc). If you're as serious about synergy as we are, you'll notice it gets a bit "twitchy" when you constantly find yourself having to disconnect/reconnect often...calling different scripts here and there, rubbish. Time to change all that :)

Today, you'll have the opportunity to learn how to connect your synergy clients to a synergy server all sourcing from one synergy server. This is all accomplished through our friend, OpenSSH and its reliable wingman, reverse tunneling.

Again, this all in one, easy shell script connects synergy clients to the synergy server from...you got it, the synergy server. That's right, no more annoying typing on this keyboard or that keyboard to get your synergy clients connected...clackity-click-clack. We heart that idea almost as much as we heart lock picking as a past-time in the shop. While you're thinking about lock picking in the shop, consider picking up this book...it's one of the better ones out there on lock picking:

Our apologies for the digression - back to the regularly scheduled program...here we go:

STEP 1: Okay, first you must setup key-based authentication for OpenSSH so that your synergy server can authenticate with the synergy clients without requiring a person to actually type a password (or at least a moderately sophisticated zombie robot).

STEP 1.1: Run the following command from your synergy server:
$ ssh-keygen
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/<user>/.ssh/id_rsa):<PRESS_ENTER>
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):<LEAVE BLANK, PRESS_ENTER>
Enter same passphrase again:<LEAVE BLANK, PRESS_ENTER>
Your identification has been saved in /home/<user>/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/<user>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
cc:d9:cb:d8:cd:24:ad:87:41:1c:57:90:14:73:00:fb user@hostname
The key's random art image is:
+--[ RSA 2048]----+
|    ..+el...     |
|     . n...      |
|    .   o .      |
|     . + * .     |
|      N O p e    |
|         = O     |
|        . * +    |
|           .     |
|                 |
+-----------------+

STEP 1.2: Transfer the synergy server file, id_rsa.pub to your remote synergy client:

$ scp /home/<user>/.ssh/id_rsa.pub <user>@<remote synergy client>:/home/<user>/

STEP 1.3: SSH into your remote synergy client computer:

$ ssh <user>@<remote synergy client>

<user>@<remote synergy client> password: <TYPE PASSWORD>

STEP 1.4: Append the contents of id_rsa.pub to the authorized_keys file:
$ cat /home/<user>/id_rsa.pub >> /home/<user>/.ssh/authorized_keys

***At this point you should be able to authenticate to your remote synergy client from your synergy server machine. Please note that you also must ssh from the synergy server as the synergy server user that possesses the id_rsa.pub file within their "/home/<user>/.ssh" directory. Of course you ssh to the synergy client using the synergy client user that contains the authorized_keys file within their "/home/<user>/.ssh" directory. So far, so good.

STEP 2: The script...now, here comes the beautiful part. Create a file called onesyn.sh on your synergy server and paste the following:

#!/bin/bash

# onesyn.sh

# Start the synergy server daemon and sleep to ensure it's up

# prior to kicking off our uber-simple client initialization

synergys &

sleep 2

# now, reverse-ssh into synergy client using key-based auth

# and kick off synergy client over an encrypted network tunnel

ssh -R 127.0.0.1:24800:127.0.0.1:24800 <user>@<remote synergy client> "synergyc -f 127.0.0.1"

# end of script

That's it folks! Simply save your file and make it executable by issuing the following command:

$ chmod 755 onesyn.sh

Have this script auto-run each time you authenticate with your favorite desktop environment (KDE, Gnome, etc.). Better yet, use your favorite window manager instead (OpenBox, FluxBox, FVWM, etc.) since desktop environments are made for people with an unhealthy amount of patience.

Logout, log back in, and enjoy your lavishly excessive array of flat-panel displays, crts, and computing devices all accessible and dominated from one keyboard and mouse! Yes, it's even okay to sit back, raise your hands towards the back of your head, and totally bask in your amazing awesomeness ;)

Kickin ass n chewin bubble gum. Later skaterz!
