SQLi, SSTI & Docker Escapes / Mounted Folders - HackTheBox University CTF "GoodGame"

[@znation4434]

John: *Literally shows the first docker escape I've ever seen* Also John: "Wow I'm a dumbo"

[@Logan_144]

yo btw Thought I would just say, I recently found your channel and with every video I watch I learn something new, interesting, or another way of doing something I never even thought of! I love your content and I am pretty sure I will be a consistent viewer from now on. Keep up the great work John! :D

[@relix12]

Even though I can understand each step taken individually I wouldn't be able to string them together with my current skillset, but I did find solace in the fact that I had previously ran into and solved the bash -p hick-up. (*Insert Leonardo pointing meme here* The bash -p issue I ran across previously!)

[@zacharycook8179]

just wow man.. watching you do this is so satisfying. So inspiring. WE. WANT. MORE!!!!!!!!

[@HundleBundle47]

"We're root supposedly....but we're supposed to be user. Did we skip that?!" John out here too good for these level 1 boxes haha

[@sannyboi7298]

Awesome video. Love your energy, your passion comes through and it’s contagious.

[@debarghyamaitra]

man the privesc was insane!! I didn't know that technique. Thanks John,

[@comradedad]

You are a master at your craft. Awesome video.

[@neiltropolis]

Love watching you work John! Thank you.

[@DHIRAL2908]

32:43 You can use SH instead. It won't require any other libraries and would work with SUID!

[@R3APERSW4G]

mounted file systems are dangerous, that was fun to watch!

[@chillytheprogrammer]

I can’t believe how it only has one star of difficulty. I could never get that far

[@somebodystealsmyname]

I would say it was slightly below OSCP level. But all technikes used you should learn for it.

[@gnorbsl4194]

I'm sure there was a moment in his life where he was like you. No one becomes an expert over night, just keep learning and one day one stars might be too boring for you.

[@DerMichael]

I think I would have to spend an hour on each step that took him 5 minutes. Always thinking about what I have and what I need and then searching for ways to exploit stuff, probably using trial and error many times.

[@neiltropolis]

Respect to your honesty. I've had a difficult time too.

[@younesmohssen8158]

@@somebodystealsmyname oof! This is a bit ‘below’ oscp level? Actually? I signed up for 60 days and I’ll be doing my oscp in about a month and couldn’t get a crack at this machine. So I’m even more worried now lolol

[@r34w0lf]

that was a cool privesc. learn't alot from this video. thanks!

[@roguishowl3915]

Just started CTF and i love the challenges, my work is mind numbing, so these challenges are a great way to spend the remained of my work day.

[@HAGSLAB]

I've been watching all your recent content and it's great as well, but I must say, after watching this video, that I really miss these CTF box videos 😊 Just my personal opinion though, make the content you feel like making at all times, it makes it better that way.

[@TurtlesWrath]

4:30 "People are all excited about Battlefield" That didn't age well...

[@_JohnHammond]

I rewatched this video before uploading it (granted this was recorded ~4 months ago) and I thought it was hilarious I tried to make a contemporary joke. xD

[@charlesmarseille123]

this is gold, thanks a lot John!

[@epicmotivevideo]

Easy? How on earth .... I'd never get this as a noob. So much to learn ...

[@Donder1337]

Dude this is insane man, never though it would be this easy.......

[@danielstewart9584]

Brilliant video, thanks

Just a big thanks, u r the MAN✊🏻

In case anyone is interested if you want to a fast check, beside a script in python to test a post with different values after js, if you are using Firefox, you right click on the post request, in the context menu there is an edit and resend command.

[@lupenn5914]

edit and resend on firefox is the most underrated feature

[@Makh161]

Great video. I understood everything except some of the subprocess ssti. What does setting stdout to -1 do? Cant seem to find documentation on that

[@patik237]

Wow I loved the video. Thanks

[@jacobfinder7476]

John is Amazing... Outstanding

[@ikhmalfahmi9308]

Yayyyyy back to CTF

[@aaryanbhagat4852]

This might be a naive question but I do not understand upon looking at an input which kind of injection to use, for example upon looking at the name feild how john went for template injection and not some other sql one?

[@HAGSLAB]

Experience and knowledge of the stack in use. There was multiple references to Python and Flask in headers and HTML. Knowing that, John used his experience (could also been researched on the spot) to realize that a server side template payload is a viable option at that point to get server side code execution.

[@aaryanbhagat4852]

@@HAGSLAB i think you misunderstood, I just had a basic doubt regarding the technologies in use, let me explain: When we saw the sign up form he tried sql injection which is fine but when he found the form to edit personal information, I thought that the backend will again be SQL but he went for templates. How can one find which input has templates in the background and which has SQL?

[@HAGSLAB]

@@aaryanbhagat4852 Well, it's both in this case. Backend database saves the field contents; `{{ 7*7 }}`, but then that template string gets rendered (executed) server side before sending the result to the client. So that's exactly what I mean when I say that he knows this from experience and knowledge of the underlying stack.

Would love a video of you setting up Ubuntu from scratch with how you install and what tools you install at the start

[@squ34ky]

Did you remove the ransomware stream? I was hoping to go finish it later. 😢

That was awesome to watch

T-shirts you wear are so cool😎 to see!

[@Raser1995]

I wish I had so mush fun do it. I think I understand mostly what were you doing, but I never be able to do it by myself and come up with all that stuff. =)

[@thewokeone9859]

ok n00b question. around @6:49 are you executing that python script from sublime text and then viewing the results in another tab?? if so, how so? thanks for this vid and you have a new subscriber....this makes me realize that I still have A LOT to learn.🙏🏼

[@savipats]

When you go to "Tools -> Build" you can see that it's possible to build your script with Ctrl+B. You might have to set it up first and make sure you use the correct interpreter, have the correct shebang line (#!/bin/python3 or w/e language u use) and have saved the script.

[@carminesans90]

[@euridicedeneuve8780]

[Question] Hi I have a question : at 13', once you've modified the "/etc/hosts" file to add a match between the local machine address & internal-administration.goodgames.htb, why is there a different webpage that renders once you type internal-administration.goodgames.htb ? Since it resolves to the local machine address, I don't understand why we shouldn't see the goodgames home page from the beginning. I'm missing something.

Did I miss something? How'd he know the password was 'superadministrator'? Surely not just a lucky first guess?

[@HierImNorden]

Five months later I was wondering the same thing... Turns out he got that from the database in the very beginning. I had already forgotten about that part after all the SSTI shenanigans. The user just happened to use the same password for both his Linux user account and the website account.

[@booruledie3052]

It’s definetely not easy.

It has one star difficulty, becauset he password is only md5

Your right, in my honest opinion I think You have to have an idea on what you wanna invest in carefully before Investing in it

[@olivefegan4607]
