Blue

Deploy & hack into a Windows machine, leveraging common misconfigurations issues.

[Task 1] Recon

Description

Scan and learn what exploit this machine is vulnerable to. Please note that this machine does not respond to ping (ICMP) and may take a few minutes to boot up.

Link to Ice, the sequel to Blue: Link

You can check out the third box in this series, Blaster, here: Link

The virtual machine used in this room (Blue) can be downloaded for offline usage from https://darkstar7471.com/resources.html

Enjoy the room! For future rooms and write-ups, follow @darkstar7471 on Twitter.

#1.1

Scan the machine. (If you are unsure how to tackle this, I recommend checking out the room RP: Nmap)

[Task 2] Gain Access

Description

Exploit the machine and gain a foothold.

#2.1

Start Metasploit


msfconsole

#2.2

Find the exploitation code we will run against the machine. What is the full path of the code? (Ex: exploit/........)

First search for ms17-010:

Migrate to this process using the 'migrate PROCESS_ID' command where the process id is the one you just wrote down in the previous step. This may take several attempts, migrating processes is not very stable. If this fails, you may need to re-run the conversion process or reboot the machine and start once again. If this happens, try a different process next time.

Let's migrate to PID 2912 (svchost.exe):
