C2 behind reverse Proxy Web SSH Session not working


Le0n

Recommended Posts

Hello, I am very desperate right now. I've been trying in vain for days now to get C2 with all functions running behind a reverse Proxy.

Devices are connecting, but i have two issues that i can't solve. I think these are Bugs. And I think both are interrelated.

I have testet this in two scenarios:
1. I have the reverse Proxy and C2 Server on the same machine.
2. Device reverse Proxy and C2 Server on different devices.

In the process I have found out that if C2 is running behind a reverse Proxy the external Device IP is always the IP from the reverse Proxy Server.

For instance if I have the first scenario where both are on the same device then the external IP is always 127.0.0.1
If C2 is on another device the external IP is the private IP from my reverse Proxy Server.

Now the second problem. I think this exists only because of the other one.
When i try to Start an SSH Session to device (C2 based) than that does not work. 
Either it loads forever and nothing happens or the black windows opens and print out "Disconnected"

When I start C2 without -reverseProxy and -reverseProxyPort flag, then download device.config again and put on the device everything works as it should. external IP is right and SSH Session works too. So a Port configuration problem or something is excluded.

When i start C2 in Debug Mode there are many errors.

Eventually I am to stupid, but can anyone help me please?

Perhaps if you start yet another thread (the fourth), you might get some help...

Oh sh*t i don’t want to post it more than one time. I am new here and only (after submitting the post) clicked on page back on my web browser an then I where back in edit mode. I thought I can change some things and then submit again and it will be edited. How can I delete the others ?

What's your level of experience when it comes to setting up reverse proxy servers? What reverse proxy server are you using? In what way is it configured?

This is my first reverse Proxy. It is an nginx reverse Proxy. I found out some new things. The most important one. The two problems are not interdependent. I startet C2 normal without any reverse Proxy or other settings. Only with the command 

./c2-3.1.2_armv7_linux -hostname c2.mydomain.de

So C2 started as normal on Port 8080. I forwarded port 8080 to give access to the devices. Then i reinstalled the device.conf. So the device is connecting to Port 8080 and 2022 for ssh. When i now open c2 on c2.mydomain.de:8080 and start an ssh session everything works fine. But when i open c2 via the reverse Proxy on c2.mydomain.de (this connects to the reverse Proxy on Port 80 and then forwarded to Port 8080 ) the ssh Session does not work. Then i get the "disconnected" error and again this error on the terminal:

http: superfluous response.WriteHeader call from github.com/hak5/cc-server/api/web.(*Api).httperror (utils.go:58)

For the IP Problem i found out how to forward the real IP from the connecting device via reverse Proxy to cloud C2

my Proxy Config is the following:
 

# This hs nothing to do with C2
server {
        listen 80;
	server_name  mydomain.de www.mydomain.de;

        location / {

                    return 301 https://mydomain.de$request_uri; # Redirect http to https
  }
}

OK, so the only remaining problem you have now is to get SSH to work from the C2 web GUI back to the Hak5 devices? I set up a quick test network with an Nginx reverse proxy (without encrypted traffic and Nginx and the C2 server on separate physical devices) and it works in the way as you describe. No problems to get the Hak5 devices to connect via the Nginx server but web GUI ssh sessions from the C2 server back to the devices is not working (just like you have reported).

From the Nginx config file, it looks like you are using 443/https but that it terminates in the Nginx server and then it goes unencrypted to the C2 server "internally" behind the reverse proxy (since you specified "location" to an 8080 based resource). Are you using the reverseProxy parameter only or the reverseProxyPort as well when starting the C2 server? In any way, I think it would be a good idea to disable the use of https until the basic functionality has been solved, it will just add an extra layer of complexity that probably is making it more difficult to troubleshoot the scenario.

Have you tried using stream blocks in the config file and also perhaps the module "ngx_stream_ssl_module" (and/or "ngx_stream_ssl_preread_module")?

Not that it might solve any problems, but it is also possible to try other reverse proxy solutions like Apache or HAProxy and see if it makes any difference. It should work using Nginx though since the basics should be the same regardless of what reverse proxy that is being used.

I should add as well that port 2022 is vital for the ssh session. I added a LAN Turtle now to my lab environment that is set up with a C2 server and an Nginx reverse proxy (mentioned above) and initiated an ssh session to the Turtle from the C2 web GUI and also had a local ssh session directly on the Turtle at the same time and kept on executing ps to get the processes running. Just before getting the "Disconnected" message in the C2 web GUI, a process appeared on the Turtle that was trying to call back to my C2 server (or the Nginx server really) using port 2022. This doesn't seem to change even if using the reverseProxyPort parameter when starting the C2 server, so the callbacks for ssh sessions always uses port 2022. This can also be verified when looking into the device.config file. The port that is specified using the reverseProxyPort parameter changes in the file, but not 2022 that is in the very end of the device.config file.

And, when finding the above process, I searched for C2TERM (that was part of the process) here on the forums and it has indeed been discussed before. Maybe it will sort out your issues.

Amazing Work! I changed my proxy config and now it works!!I can open the Browser SSH Session!  I am so happy! 😃
And the funny thing. After i change my proxy config and testet a little bit i saw that the Uptime in C2 is counting up. This has never been the case before. It was always stuck at 2 or 3 Seconds Uptime. I thought this was a bug or something. Also in debug mode there where no database errors. I have tried to fix these before:
 

debug	| 2022-01-04 14:07:42 Device 'K1' Completed Change Sync
debug	| 2022-01-04 14:07:42 DB DeleteActionFromDevice devid: 2, actionid: 6
debug	| 2022-01-04 14:07:47 Device 2 checking in for actions
debug	| 2022-01-04 14:07:48 Database update error: bucket not found
log	| 2022-01-04 14:07:48 Internal error: bucket not found
debug	| 2022-01-04 14:07:53 Device 2 checking in for actions
debug	| 2022-01-04 14:07:55 Database update error: bucket not found

Ok. Everything was fine and working, and i thought it might be a good idea to reflash my Key Croc wich i used to test all these things because it is the easiest one.
After reflash I copied back the device.config and rebooted the Croc. Sadly now the Uptime is stuck again at 2 seconds. I found this post where someone had the same issue:

But there is no solution for the problem. I tried many different things. Deleted c2.db and started from scratch, first all without the reverse Proxy so normal C2 with Port 8080, then with proxy. Then I tried to reproduce what i have done earlier to get proxy things working, I also tried C2 on a completely different device - with and without proxy but nothing. Uptime Is still stuck and I get these error on cli. I wonder what happen to my croc or C2 that it spontaneously startet to count the Uptime and then spontaneously stopped it.

Don't tested other devices yet but I will do that later!

I then tested to get things running over https: But this is not so important i only wanted to test if it is possible if not it is not a problem. For this I found a post. I tried the solution with an other nginx config but that did not work for me. No Problem. But if found a very interesting thing in the post that i tested and it worked. I tried to google on how it works but i have found nothing. I would only be interested how it works.
It's about to let Hak5 devices speak over Port 80 over nginx to C2 and redirect everything else (i.e. browser traffic and to on) to Port 443. And its very interesting. 
How can the proxy know that it is an Hak5 device that is calling home only from the config: 
 

 # Requests by Hak5 devices remain on plain HTTP.
    location /dapi {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8080;
    }

    # All other requests are redirected to HTTPS.
    location / {
        return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
    }

What does this "location /dapi" mean I didn't found anything around the internet. Did you eventually know that? I found it coincidentally but last week I tried to achieve just that. And know i wonder how it works. Here is the original comment:

Aha!
Now this is a major flaw I find with the documentation: It does not say what ports are used for the various features! It's really quite surprising and confusing, such basic info should be one of the very first things to provide a table of.

I was looking for a decent free proxy server, but I couldn't find anything reliable. So I thought that I would go for a paid one. Which paid proxy servers would you suggest using? I have already found https://speedproxies.net/isp-proxies. And it looks reliable. What would you say about it? It looks good to me, especially because it is located in the UK where I am now. I would like to use proxy servers to connect to the website unavailable to me right now. Is it possible to use a proxy server as an alternative to VPN? Thank you for your replies.
