bee-box - INSTALL
-----------------

bee-box is a custom Linux VM pre-installed with bWAPP.

With bee-box you have the opportunity to explore all bWAPP vulnerabilities!
bee-box gives you several ways to hack and deface the bWAPP website.
It's even possible to hack the bee-box to get root access...


Requirements
////////////

*/ Windows, Linux or Mac OS
*/ VMware Player, Workstation, Fusion or Oracle VirtualBox


Installation steps
//////////////////

No! I will not explain how to install VMware or VirtualBox...

*/ Extract the compressed file.

*/ Double click on the VM configuration file (bee-box.vmx), or import the VM into the VMware software.

*/ Start the VM. It will login automatically.

*/ Check the IP address of the VM.

*/ Go to the bWAPP login page. If you browse the bWAPP root directory you will be redirected.

    example: http://[IP]/bWAPP/
    example: http://[IP]/bWAPP/login.php

*/ Login with the default bWAPP credentials, or make a new user.

    default credentials: bee/bug

*/ You are ready to explore and exploit the bee!


Notes
/////

*/ Linux credentials:

    bee/bug
    root/bug

*/ MySQL credentials:

    root/bug

*/ Modify the Postfix settings (relayhost,...) to your environment.

    config file: /etc/postfix/main.cf

*/ bee-box gives you several ways to deface the bWAPP website.
   It's even possible to hack the bee-box to get root access...

   Have fun!

*/ Take a snapshot of the VM before hacking the bee-box.
   There is also a backup of the bWAPP website (/var/www/bWAPP_BAK).

*/ To reinstall the bWAPP database, delete the database with phpmyadmin (http://[IP]/phpmyadmin/).
   Afterwards, browse to the following page: https://[IP]/bWAPP/install.php

*/ Don't upgrade the Linux operating system, you will lose all fun :)

DHCP (Automatically Assigned)

    Special note to VMWare users - you must manually set the
    NIC MAC address to 08:00:27:F2:40:DB

Get root, then the flag!

The goal of this challenge is to break into the machine via the web and find the secret hidden in a sensitive file. If you can find the secret, send me an email for verification. :)

There are a couple of different ways that you can go with this one. Good luck!

Simply download and import the OVA file into virtualbox!

ZORZ is another VM that will challenge your webapp skills. There are 3 separate challenges (web pages) on this machine. It should be pretty straight forward. I have explained as much as I can in the readme file:

Welcome to the ZorZ VM Challenge

This machine will probably test your web app skills once again. There are 3 different pages that should be focused on (you will see!) If you solve one or all three pages, please send me an email and quick write up on how you solved each challenge. Your goal is to successfully upload a webshell or malicious file to the server. If you can execute system commands on this box, thats good enough!!! I hope you have fun!

admin@top-hat-sec.com

Our resident ROP ninja barrebas recently gave the team a bootcamp on Return Oriented Programming. The presentation was followed by a demo walkthrough on writing a ROP exploit on a vulnerable application. Since the presentation was well received, he’s decided to make the slides available to everyone. You can view them at https://speakerdeck.com/barrebas/rop-primer.

We hope you enjoy it!

New VM challenge that should be fun for people trying to get into packet analysis!

There are several steps to this box. I created it with virtualbox. The VM is built on:

Ubuntu 14.04 32 bit

If you beat the box then please shoot me an email! Have fun guys!

P.S. I got the word "Fart Knocker" from watching beavis and butthead back in the day. Otherwise you kids might not understand :)

This exercise covers the exploitation of a session injection in the Play framework. This issue can be used to tamper with the content of the session while bypassing the signing mechanism

Welcome to SkyTower:1

This CTF was designed by Telspace Systems for the CTF at the ITWeb Security Summit and BSidesCPT (Cape Town). The aim is to test intermediate to advanced security enthusiasts in their ability to attack a system using a multi-faceted approach and obtain the "flag".

You will require skills across different facets of system and application vulnerabilities, as well as an understanding of various services and how to attack them. Most of all, your logical thinking and methodical approach to penetration testing will come into play to allow you to successfully attack this system. Try different variations and approaches. You will most likely find that automated tools will not assist you.

We encourage you to try it our for yourself first, give yourself plenty of time and then only revert to the Walkthroughs below.

Enjoy!

@telspacesystems

Welcome to the challenge.

This VM is designed to try and entertain the more advanced information security enthusiast. This doesn't exclude beginners however and I'm sure that a few of you could meet the challenge. There is no 'one' focus on the machine, a range of skills such as web exploitation, password cracking, exploit development, binary examination and most of all logical thinking is required to crack the box in the intended way - but who knows there might be some short cuts!

A few of the skills needed can be seen in some posts on http://netsec.ws. Otherwise enjoy the experience - remember that although vulnerabilities might not jump out at you straight away you may need to try some variations on the normal to get past the protections in place!

Feel free to discuss the experience on the #vulnhub irc channel on irc.freenode.net. If you want any hints feel free to PM my nick on there (Peleus). You won't get any, but I'll feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing you're suffering.

Enjoy.

Morning Catch is a VMware virtual machine, similar to Metasploitable, to demonstrate and teach about targeted client-side attacks and post-exploitation.

On this virtual machine, you will find: a website for a fictitious seafood company, self-contained email infrastructure to receive phishes, and two desktop environments. One desktop environment is a vulnerable Linux client-side attack surface. The other is a vulnerable Windows client-side attack surface.

Morning Catch uses a bleeding edge version of WINE to run a few vulnerable Windows applications AND experiment with post-exploitation tools in a fun and freely re-distributable environment.

Login Screen

Your use of Morning Catch starts with the login screen.

Boyd Jenius is the Systems Administrator and his password is ‘password’. Login as Boyd to get to the vulnerable Linux desktop.

Richard Bourne is Morning Catch’s CEO and his password is also ‘password’. Login as Richard to get to the vulnerable Windows desktop.

You can also RDP into the Morning Catch environment.

Windows Desktop

Richard’s desktop includes the Windows’ versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, Java, and putty. Open up Thunderbird to check Richard’s email.

You can send a phish to him too. This VM includes a mail server to receive email for users at the morningcatch.ph domain. Open up a terminal and find out the IP address of the VM. Make sure you relay messages through this server. Use [email protected] as the address.

Are you looking for some attacks to try? Here are a few staples:

Spin up a malicious Java Applet and visit it as Richard. The Firefox add-on attack exploit in the Metasploit Framework is a great candidate. Or, generate an executable with your payload and run it as Richard. I’m sure he won’t mind. Morning Catch’s WINE environment runs post-exploitation payloads, to include Windows Meterpreter and Beacon, without too much trouble.

Linux Desktop

Boyd’s desktop is the vulnerable Linux attack surface. Boyd has the Linux versions of Firefox, Java, and Thunderbird. Boyd also has an SSH key for the Metasploitable 2 virtual machine. Try to ssh to Metasploitable 2 as root and see what happens.

Webmail

Morning Catch also includes RoundCube webmail for all of its users. Use this as a target to clone and harvest passwords from.

Hopes and Dreams

Morning Catch isn’t a replacement for a vulnerable Windows lab. It’s a safe and freely redistributable target to experiment with phishing and client-side attacks. It’s my hope that this environment will help more people experiment with and understand these attacks better.

Are you in Las Vegas for BlackHat USA or DEF CON? Stop by the Black Hat Arsenal on Wednesday at 10am for a demo of this new environment and a Morning Catch sticker. I’m also giving away DVDs with a revised Cobalt Strike pen testing lab that uses Morning Catch. Find me at the Cobalt Strike kiosk in the Innovation City portion of the Black Hat USA Exhibitor Hall. I will also give away these DVDs at the Cobalt Strike table in the DEF CON vendor area.

Welcome to the flick boot2root!

- Where is the flag?
- What do you need to flick to find it?

Completing "flick" will require some sound
thinking, good enumeration skills & time! The
objective is to find and read the flag that
lives /root/

As a bonus, can you get root command execution?

Shoutout to @barrebas & @TheColonial for testing
it out first :)

Good Luck!

Tr0ll was inspired by the constant trolling of the machines within the OSCP labs.

The goal is simple, gain root and get Proof.txt from the /root directory.

Not for the easily frustrated! Fair warning, there be trolls ahead!

Difficulty: Beginner ; Type: boot2root

Special thanks to @OS_Eagle11 and @superkojiman for suffering through the testing all the way to root!

The machine should pull an IP using DHCP, if you have any problems, contact me for a password to get it to working.

Feedback is always appreciated!

Welcome to The Owl Nest Owls are lovely but hates you :) and maybe after this one, you will hate them too.

Notes from the author: I hope you will enjoy this game, i spent a fairly high amount of effort to build this, in an attempt to make the game funny, and provide an avarage amount of frustration to the players :) Even if the machine was tested, maybe there are shortcuts to reach the flag.. hopefully not :)

Expect some curve balls :)

Special thanks goes to Barrebas for testing the VM
