SSH Honeypot

2023


HTB Snoopy

Snoopy is a Hard Linux box where I start by exploiting a file read vulnerability on the primary site, which allowed me to access BIND DNS config files and the rndc key. With this access, I could update DNS records for the mail server. With control over the mail server, I reset a user’s password to access a Mattermost site. During server provisioning, I set up a honeypot to capture SSH credentials. Once inside the server, I exploited a Git apply command vulnerability, enabling me to write to files outside the working copy. Finally, I leveraged an XXE vulnerability in ClamAV’s DMG parser to read root’s SSH keys.
