Lab Scoreboard

Permission Groups Discovery is a part of the post-exploitation phase and deals with identifying local system or domain-level groups and permissions settings

In this lab, we are given access to a Kali machine. A target machine is present on the same network. This target machine is vulnerable and can be exploited using the following information. Use this information to get a shell on the target machine and complete the mission!

Vulnerability Information

  • Vulnerability: XODA File Upload Vulnerability
  • Metasploit module: exploit/unix/webapp/xoda_file_upload

Your mission:

  • Identify the group id of user james
  • Identify the groups to which the user dave is added. 
  • Identify the files which can be read/modified by user dave due to the group permissions.

Instructions: 

  • This lab is dedicated to you! No other users are on this network :) 
  • Once you start the lab, you will have access to a root terminal of a Kali instance
  • Your Kali has an interface with IP address 192.X.Y.2. Run "ip addr" to know the values of X and Y.
  • The target server should be located at the IP address 192.X.Y.3. 
  • Do not attack the gateway located at IP address 192.X.Y.1


Verify:
1. What is the group id of user james?

There is a reason we provide unlimited lab time: you can take as much time as you need to solve a lab. However, we realize that sometimes hints might be necessary to keep you motivated!

We currently provide technical support limited to:

  • Giving hints for a lab exercise
  • In rare circumstances, if you have totally given up (NO!!!) then tell you how to solve it. This will be limited to sharing the solution video or lab report
