Week 46 in Review – 2012

Resources

  • VulnVoIP (Vulnerable VoIP) – The Fundamentals of VoIP Hacking – rebootuser.com

    VulnVoIP is based on a relatively old AsteriskNOW distribution and has a number of weaknesses. The aim is to locate VoIP users, crack their passwords and gain access to the Support account voicemail.

  • Owning Computers Without Shell Access – accuvant.com

    What’s This All About? Consultants often upload and execute a binary payload to a remote system during penetration tests for the purpose of footprinting the target, gathering information, and leveraging that information to compromise additional hosts.

  • A Preview of the Bitsquatting PCAPs – blog.dinaburg.org

    Recently I decided to make public the packet captures (PCAPs) of DNS traffic from my bitsquatting experiment (dnslogs.tar.7z, 56Mb, 7zip compressed). Currently I am working on an in-depth analysis of the PCAP data, including distribution of request types, domains, source addresses and more. In the meantime I wanted to share some interesting findings.

Tools

Techniques

  • XSS by uploading/including a SWF file – soroush.secproject.com

    As you may already know, it is possible to make a website vulnerable to XSS if you can upload/include a SWF file into that website. I am going to represent this SWF file that you can use in your PoCs.

  • HTTP Pass the Hash with Python – labs.neohapsis.com

    When assessing a Windows domain environment, the ability to “pass the hash” is invaluable. The technique was pioneered by Paul Ashton way back in ’97, and things have only gotten better since. Fortunately, we no longer need to patch Samba, but have reasonably functional tools like Pass-The-Hash Toolkit and msvctl.

  • Anatomy of an Attack: How I Hacked StackOverflow – blog.ircmaxell.com

    Almost two years ago I had stumbled upon a pretty significant vulnerability in the StackExchange network. I say stumbled, because I wasn’t actually trying to attack the site. Circumstance just showed me a door. The actual attack is pretty interesting, and it holds a lesson for everybody who builds or maintains websites or server infrastructure.
