Web Ring - Open Boria Mine Door Wlakthrough

-

After hearing more hints from Alabaster Snowball upon completion of Boria PCAP mining challenge, we walk to Hal TandyBuck who asks us to unlock the Boria Mine door. Upon accessing the terminal we are presented with a HTML/Graphics programming challenge. Where we need to link up two color sensors in each panel and link them up all together to open the mine door.


Hints collected on this challenge give us some direction around what needs to be done in order to connect the color sensor and what controls we need to bypass.

Challenge Difficulty 3/5

1. The locks take input, render some type of image, and process on the back end to unlock. To start, take a good look at the source HTML/JavaScript.

2. Developers use both client- and server-side input validation to keep out naughty input. (input validation bypasses ?)

3. Understanding how Content-Security-Policy works can help with this challenge. (maybe we will have to use Burp?)

After doing a bit of reading from the following Reference URLs below is quick primer for SVGs (Scalable Vectr Graphics)

  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Tutorial
  • https://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/IG/resources/svgprimer.html

Example SVG code

Green highlights opening and closing of SVG section

Red highlights type of Vectr image we are planning to draw, rectangle and line would be 2 I have used to solve this challenge

Yellow highlights the positioning of this Vectr graphics which we will be tweaking more with

Blue highlights we will be tweaking this to match the color of the sensors and depending on Rectangle or line, some properties get added or removed.

Note: Ocasionally I have used Viewbox to expand the SVG viewport to avoid my vectr being truncated by default position and dimensions.

With this as an initial template, below codes will unlock the boria mine door as per the order of the svg provided

1.  <svg xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><rect x="0" y="10" height="30" width="200" fill="white" stroke="white" stroke-width="2"/></svg>

2.  <svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><line x1="-5" y1="35" x2="220" y2="150" stroke-width="20" stroke="white"/></svg>

3.  <svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><line x1="-5" y1="50" x2="220" y2="-20" stroke-width="20" stroke="blue"/></svg>

This unlocks the minedoor, but you can continue to solve the further challenge for hint and additional kringlecoins. So the same way the 4th SVG code below, that has 2 Vectrs that need to be drawn, where I have used two rectangles.

4.  <svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><rect x="0" y="10" height="20" width="100" fill="white" stroke="white" stroke-width="2"/><rect x="0" y="50" height="20" width="100" fill="blue" stroke="blue" stroke-width="2"/></svg> 

Now when we try to connect the 5th box of red and blue sensors we are being presented with an error as below instead of the Vectr Graphics being drawn

Based on the output we can see that our Opening and Closing brackets are being filtered. So we add an additional opening and closing brace to all places, which will bypass the input filter. Input validation reference : https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Input_Validation_Cheat_Sheet.html

5.  <<svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">><<line x1="-5" y1="50" x2="220" y2="-60" stroke-width="10" stroke="red"/>><<line x1="-5" y1="75" x2="220" y2="-20" stroke-width="10" stroke="blue"/>><</svg>>

Now for the 6th box we need to match the Green sensor with the exact color and to do that we will use the “rgb(0,255,0)” color values. And this code have added 1 rectangle that connects the green sensor and 2 lines that connect the red and blue sensors. Based on the hint provided am supposed to be bypassing content-security policy by intercepting the traffic, but for some reason the my input got accepted and unlocked all 6 of them.

6.  <svg viewBox="0 0 100 100" xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><rect x="0" y="12" height="10" width="200" fill="rgb(0,255,0)" stroke="rgb(0,255,0)" stroke-width="2"/><line x1="-5" y1="37" x2="220" y2="77" stroke-width="10" stroke="red"/><line x1="-5" y1="57" x2="220" y2="150" stroke-width="10" stroke="blue"/></svg>

Troubleshoots

Christmasmajic.js was a rabbit hole file, that I went into, happily killed time and learned some good things about Javascript Deobfuscation by melissa Bischoping (not related to this challenge).

By now we should be ready to start out first challenge as part of the Tolkien Ring, which is in relation to Wireshark Difficulty Rating: 1/5 Hints Just have to follow thorough the questions asked in terminal, by analysing the suspicious.pcap file in Wireshark   Solutions 1. What kinds of objects can be exported in the pcap file ?  HTTP Open up suspicious.pcap file in Wireshark, using the export objects option available in Wireshark. Now we can export different types of objects depending on what’s been captured in this pcap. When you choose to export HTTP objects you get to see 3 files, while the export options will be empty.   2. Name of the biggest file you can export ?  app.php (808kB) Within Wireshark in the object export tab for HTTP, you get to see 3 files, among which the biggest file by size 808kb is app.php     3. Packet number where app.php starts ?   687 In the object export tab within Wireshark, first column indicated the starting packet number of the conversation for tha

Prison Escape Challenge Difficulty 3/5 Clone a code repository. Get hints for this challenge from Bow Ninecandle in the Elfen Ring. After completing the Clone with a difference challenge , Getting back on the boat and progressing further through the game, we meet Tinsel Upatree with a terminal named “Prison Escape”, once we click on the terminal we are presented with the following screen that details the challenge and Based on the question, we need to find a hex string that contains the flag that needs to be submitted Seems like we need to find a way to privilege escalate or escape from the limited sandbox to be able to complete the challenge. given we can get linpeas transferred to this system, we will have to manually perform initial enumeration. Based on the above screenshot, Seems like some sort of docker container and now ill have to narrow down the enumeration to docker container escape .  Using the following docker container escape reference cheatsheet, while attempting enumerat
