Device type: general purpose

Entry Point #1 - Port 8080 (HTTP)

Enumeration

All initial attempts to access the web server on 8080 came back with status 403 - Forbidden. This usually means one of two things - either there is a WAF (Web Application Firewall) blocking our attempts or the access is simply denied by server configuration. Gut feel telling WAF would be a bit of an overkill for CTF VM so I decided to take chances and try figuring out a work around the configuration based access restriction. Now, 403 usually means access is restricted to a certain IP (e.g. localhost / 127.0.0.1). If it required an authenticated user, it would've thrown a 401

We have a Squid Proxy instance running on port 31337. Accessing Webserver through that proxy should technically trick it to believe that the connection is coming from the same host. To prove our theory,

root@blaksec:~# curl -x http://$TANGO:31337 http://127.0.0.1:8080/
<html>
	<head>
		<title>Pinky's HTTP File Server</title>
	</head>
	<body>
		<center><h1>Pinky's HTTP File Server</h1></center>
		<center><h3>Under Development!</h3></center>
	</body>
<style>
html{
	background: #f74bff;
}
</html>

Let's take it a step further and check the webserver out with other tools.

After updating nikto config to use proxy (PROXYHOST/PROXYPORT)

root@kali:~# nikto -h 127.0.0.1 -p 8080 -useproxy -nossl

+ Server: nginx/1.10.3
+ Retrieved via header: 1.1 pinkys-palace (squid/3.5.23)
+ Server leaks inodes via ETags, header found with file /, fields: 0x5a74203e 0xe5 
+ The anti-clickjacking X-Frame-Options header is not present.
+ The X-XSS-Protection header is not defined. This header can hint to the user agent to protect against some forms of XSS

+ The X-Content-Type-Options header is not set. This could allow the user agent to render the content of the site in a different fashion to the MIME type
+ No CGI Directories found (use '-C all' to force check all possible dirs)
+ Server banner has changed from 'nginx/1.10.3' to 'squid/3.5.23' which may suggest a WAF, load balancer or proxy is in place

Sadly enough, nothing interesting popped up. Except the fact that they're usign nginx. Time to shake things up a bit more!
