## Gaining a command shell
|
||
|
||
* **Shortcut**
|
||
* [Window] + [R] -> cmd
|
||
* [CTRL] + [SHIFT] + [ESC] -> Task Manager
|
||
* [CTRL] + [ALT] + [DELETE] -> Task Manager
|
||
* **Access through file browser**: Browsing to the folder containing the binary (i.e. `C:\windows\system32\`), we can simply right click and `open` it
|
||
* **Drag-and-drop**: dragging and dropping any file onto the cmd.exe
|
||
* **Hyperlink**: `file:///c:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe`
|
||
* **Task Manager**: `File` > `New Task (Run...)` > `cmd`
|
||
* **MSPAINT.exe**
|
||
* Open MSPaint.exe and set the canvas size to: Width=6 and Height=1 pixels
|
||
* Zoom in to make the following tasks easier
|
||
* Using the colour picker, set pixels values to (from left to right):
|
||
* 1st: R: 10, G: 0, B: 0
|
||
* 2nd: R: 13, G: 10, B: 13
|
||
* 3rd: R: 100, G: 109, B: 99
|
||
* 4th: R: 120, G: 101, B: 46
|
||
* 5th: R: 0, G: 0, B: 101
|
||
* 6th: R: 0, G: 0, B: 0
|
||
* Save it as 24-bit Bitmap (*.bmp;*.dib)
|
||
* Change its extension from bmp to bat and run
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Sticky Keys
|
||
|
||
* Spawn the sticky keys dialog
|
||
* Via Shell URI : `shell:::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}`
|
||
* Hit 5 times [SHIFT]
|
||
* Visit "Ease of Access Center"
|
||
* You land on "Setup Sticky Keys", move up a level on "Ease of Access Center"
|
||
* Start the OSK (On-Screen-Keyboard)
|
||
* You can now use the keyboard shortcut (CTRL+N)
|
||
|
||
## Dialog Boxes
|
||
|
||
### Creating new files
|
||
|
||
* Batch files – Right click > New > Text File > rename to .BAT (or .CMD) > edit > open
|
||
* Shortcuts – Right click > New > Shortcut > `%WINDIR%\system32`
|
||
|
||
## Open a new Windows Explorer instance
|
||
|
||
* Right click any folder > select `Open in new window`
|
||
|
||
## Exploring Context Menus
|
||
|
||
* Right click any file/folder and explore context menus
|
||
* Clicking `Properties`, especially on shortcuts, can yield further access via `Open File Location`
|
||
|
||
### Save as
|
||
|
||
* "Save as" / "Open as" option
|
||
* "Print" feature – selecting "print to file" option (XPS/PDF/etc)
|
||
* `\\127.0.0.1\c$\Windows\System32\` and execute `cmd.exe`
|
||
|
||
### Input Boxes
|
||
|
||
Many input boxes accept file paths; try all inputs with UNC paths such as `//attacker–pc/` or `//127.0.0.1/c$` or `C:\`
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Bypass file restrictions
|
||
|
||
Enter *.* or *.exe or similar in `File name` box
|
||
|
||
## Internet Explorer
|
||
|
||
### Download and Run/Open
|
||
|
||
* Text files -> opened by Notepad
|
||
|
||
### Menus
|
||
|
||
* The address bar
|
||
* Search menus
|
||
* Help menus
|
||
* Print menus
|
||
* All other menus that provide dialog boxes
|
||
|
||
### Accessing filesystem
|
||
|
||
Enter these paths in the address bar:
|
||
|
||
* file://C:/windows
|
||
* C:/windows/
|
||
* %HOMEDRIVE%
|
||
* \\127.0.0.1\c$\Windows\System32
|
||
|
||
### Unassociated Protocols
|
||
|
||
It is possible to escape a browser based kiosk with other protocols than usual `http` or `https`.
|
||
If you have access to the address bar, you can use any known protocol (`irc`, `ftp`, `telnet`, `mailto`, etc.)
|
||
to trigger the *open with* prompt and select a program installed on the host.
|
||
The program will than be launched with the uri as a parameter, you need to select a program that will not crash when recieving it.
|
||
It is possible to send multiple parameters to the program by adding spaces in your uri.
|
||
|
||
Note: This technique required that the protocol used is not already associated with a program.
|
||
|
||
Example - Launching Firefox with a custom profile:
|
||
|
||
This is a nice trick since Firefox launched with the custom profile may not be as much hardened as the default profile.
|
||
|
||
0. Firefox need to be installed.
|
||
1. Enter the following uri in the address bar: `irc://127.0.0.1 -P "Test"`
|
||
2. Press enter to navigate to the uri.
|
||
3. Select the firefox program.
|
||
4. Firefox will be launched with the profile `Test`.
|
||
|
||
In this example, it's the equivalent of running the following command:
|
||
```
|
||
firefox irc://127.0.0.1 -P "Test"
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
