hack the box walkthrough – beep machine

Here we go through the easy HTB machine called BEEP and created by ch4p.

Let’s jump in!

Quite a lot open ports here..

Let’s have a look first at the port 443. I have a login page with an Elastix logo:

I start a dirbuster scan to have further information and found quite a lot of folders too:

A search with searchsploit give us few results:

I finally used this one which is a LFI vulnerability. I could got FreePBX conf and passwd files.

Trying the logins and password found with SSH gave me first an error message

[email protected]:~/Documents$ ssh [email protected]
Unable to negotiate with 10.129.1.226 port 22: no matching key exchange method found. Their offer: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1,diffie-hellman-group1-sha1

I had to edit the ssh command to force a specific cipher suite:

[email protected]:~/Documents$ ssh -oKexAlgorithms=+diffie-hellman-group1-sha1 -c 3des-cbc [email protected]

Welcome to Elastix 
----------------------------------------------------

To access your Elastix System, using a separate workstation (PC/MAC/Linux)
Open the Internet Browser using the following URL:
http://10.129.1.226

[[email protected] ~]# whoami
root

Finally the combinaison root/jEhdIekWmdjE worked with SSH!
