Web Enumeration ⤵️
While checking port 443 I got this static site but the interesting part is where ever I search a character it is responding to a new data like below image and therefore I inspected that search element and got this search.js file that indicates a file path which leads to users.xml file.
Inspect Element
This path gives me the users information : assets/data/users.xml
users.xml file that contains all the users details
I copied all the data in a file named as user.xml file and then extracted the usernames in a username.txt file ->
1
cat users.xml | grep '<email>' | cut -d '>' -f 2 | cut -d '@' -f 1 > usernames.txt
I then did the directory or files bruteforcing with ffuf Tool and I got something 🔽

- Download the .sh file from this site http://www.mamachine.org/mslink/index.en.html
- Now make is executable by giving it permissions.

when I use this show target options I get these 3 options 🔽
Targets for exploit
I set it to 0 as I need to perform the Windows Command execution and changed the Payload as windows/x64/exec that allows me to execute command .
Now the problem was that there was no option to input any payloads that will be executed so I have to modify the exploit and for that I ran edit command and the exploit code opens up like this 🔻
I added this set of code tha will include this CMD key and the value as my payload like this 🔻
Added CMD key and payload as value
Also to make it enable I had to include the exeute_command function along with the datastore key function into it.
execute_command function in ruby
Now I have to add the RHOSTS value as 127.0.0.1 which is localhost also the port forworded address so that’s why and the CMD value as reverse shell command like this 🔽
