    Exclamation Log

    I just got that book hackers Challenge and im on the french connection. I figured out what the hacker did but i dont know how it works. Now check out this log


    03/03/2001 4:01 chewie.hacker.fr W3SVC1 WWW-2K WWW-2K.victim.com 80
    GET /scripts/../../winnt/system32/cmd.exe / /c+dir+d: \ 200 747 484 31
    www.victim.com Mozilla/4.0+(compamible; +MSIE+5.0; +Windows+98)



    Now correct me if im wrong but what the hacker did was remotely open the cmd.exe program and got a remote shell. HOW THE HELL?

    Cross browser scripting. I believe is what you call it. See the {GET} some people don't setup there webservers right so you can execute commands, and **** from a web browser. There are alot of Tutorials on it. One good piece of advise for webservers is change the C:/ letter to like f:\ or somthin that way stupid scripts like that won't work.

    this only works on iis 4 and earlier and personal web server, they call it the doubledot exploit. he put himself in a directory that allows executables to run (scripts) then double dotted up to c:, into winnt/system32 and did a dir

    in iis4/5 the same could be done using unicode:

    GET /scripts/..%c1%9c../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir+c:\

    and their are patches that have been out for quit some time for both.


    i correct myself, personal web server dosnt have /scripts, but the double dot allows downloading of named files.

    this attack was based on M$ stupidity. a browser was used to exploit it.

    So the only way to execute this attack is via browser? or is there some lame script kiddie tool to do it for those losers?

    There are always script kiddie tools. There are tools to attempt the attack on hundreads of machines at a time. That is actually how some of the mass defacements worked last year.
