  • On initial visit on the Machine's IP, we are redirected to -> app.microblog.htb (let's add this in our /etc/hosts file)

  • we now have the src code of the website, let's clone & analyse this.

  • Upon looking into microblog folder we found 2 sub domains

10 directories, 15 files

  • app & sunny. Let's add sunny in our /etc/hosts file.

  • Sunny's subdomain is nothing but a blog written & posted by him.

  • On homepage we noticed that we can get a subdomain by registering so let's do it.

LFI

  • After registering we now can create subdomains.

Let's add this in our /etc/hosts file

Create a blog

  • after visiting your subdomain, you can now see the blog content.

Why LFI?

  • if you checked the src code whatever we send inside the id parameter get's written inside our blog

  • Contents of microblog/microblog/sunny/edit/index.php

//add text
if (isset($_POST['txt']) && isset($_POST['id'])) {
    chdir(getcwd() . "/../content");
    $txt_nl = nl2br($_POST['txt']);
    $html = "<div class = \"blog-text\">{$txt_nl}</div>";
    
    $post_file = fopen("{$_POST['id']}", "w");
    fwrite($post_file, $html);
    fclose($post_file);

    <-- REDACTED -->
}

  • Let's add location of /etc/passwd & see if it works

  • I surfed for a while & found no important files that can help us to get a rev shell on the machine.

  • While reviweing the src code of edit/index.php , i saw there's something called pro feature

  • Let's try to get a pro version on our account.

-------- the machine went vip sry couldn't complete :(

------- i'll surely complete this once i get VIP.
