Tech Segment: Zone Transfers & Embedded Systems

Security FAIL Dot Com update:

• BTHome Hub Recap
• APC Information Leak
• Belkin Authentication Disclosure
• Avaya 4610 Hacking Guide

One method of finding embedded systems is to brute force the subdomains as described in the following article from GNUCitizen:

http://www.gnucitizen.org/blog/hacking-linksys-ip-cameras-pt-6/

They even have a handy tool they created to help you do it! Carlos also maintains the DNS Enum scripts in Metasploit, which also have the capability to do sub-domain brute forcing.

Zone transfers are even better, for example:

# time host -la ourlinksys.com 66.161.11.121 > ourlinksys.com.out

real	0m2.564s
user	0m0.456s
sys	0m0.068s

The "host" command is great for doing zone transfers. And in this case we found a DDNS provider that happens to allow zone transfers from one of its DNS servers. Carlo's tool is better at finding these as you can point it at one domain and it will try to do a zone transfer for that domain from each DNS server listed. As for the results:

# wc -l ourlinksys.com.out 120815 ourlinksys.com.out

Sweet! Here are some easy ways to find all those DDNS providers:

http://www.dmoz.org/Computers/Internet/Protocols/DNS/DNS_Providers/Dynamic_DNS/ http://www.oth.net/dyndns.html

You can put them in a list and do something like these:

for i in `cat ddlist.txt`; do ./msfcli auxiliary/gather/dns_enum DOMAIN=$i E; done ~/msf3/msfcli auxiliary/gather/dns_enum DOMAIN=ourlinksys.com ENUM_AXFER=true ENUM_BRT=false ENUM_RVL=false ENUM_SRV=false

I find that calling Carlos's script in this way is really slow. I've already made the request for Carlos to build in a way to read from a list of domains, which shouldn't be that hard of a feature to implement. Speaking of Carlos's script, here are the options:

msf > use gather/dns_enum
msf auxiliary(dns_enum) > show options

Module options:

   Name         Current Setting                                Required  Description

   ENUM_STD     true                                           yes       Enumerate standard record types (A,MX,NS,TXT and SOA)
   ENUM_TLD     false                                          yes       Perform a top-level domain expansion by replacing TLD and testing against IANA TLD list
   IPRANGE                                                     no        The target address range or CIDR identifier
   NS                                                          no        Specify the nameserver to use for queries, otherwise use the system DNS
   STOP_WLDCRD  false                                          yes       Stops Brute Force Enumeration if wildcard resolution is detected

Stories For Discussion

1. Is Barnaby Jack back at it? - [Larry] - Last year after a gagged attempt on revealing flaws in a popular ATM machine, it looks like he's back on for BlackHat this year. Because a year has passed, he's been given another year to research, this time to demonstrate a rootkit, for not one, but two ATMs. Jeff moss is stated as saying "Jack has a living room full of ATMs."
2. Silent patches - [Larry] - Core Security Technology reveals that Microsoft released two patches that patch for "secret" vulnerabilities. The information on these vulnerabilities were never disclosed, but were reversible form the patches. So, what do you think about silent patches and the disclosure? Not giving admins the correct information to choose deployment schedule? Providing info to an attacker?
3. Chinese Wifinders - [Larry] - Wireless cracking and piggybacking has come to the masses. For about $25, you get a USB wireless card, antenna and an apparently customized Version of Backtrack, that will get you some wifi keys, and set up your windows install to use them.
4. Getting phished can happen tot he best of us - [Larry] - It just goes to show that someone who is savvy can get owned. Of course they were able to realize that they had been phished, and what it meant, AND how to address it. How many of our grandmas would know?
5. I can stalk you! - [Larry] - Hmm, how about stalking through twitter. This project is intended to raise awareness on inadvertent information sharing through social networks by harnessing teh power or metadata.
6. Irongeek on the news! - [Pauldotcom] - "I always feel like somebody's watching me!". Pretty neat stuff, trying to figure out what payload he is using to activate the remote payload to snoop on the webcam. I always thought this was a neat payload.
7. http://carnal0wnage.blogspot.com/2010/01/layer-four-traceroute.html Layer 4 Tracerout] - [PaulDotCom] - This is a really neat traceroute program because it finds ways to get around filters to make traceroute work. I find it interesting to see which ISP the target is using and be able to gather the IP address of their upstream router. If you can successfully attack the upstream router, its game over for the target.
8. Cisco Router and Security Device Manager XSS - [PaulDotCom] - Anytime you can get an XSS on the software that manages the entire network, SCORE! This XSS attack lives on the SDM, software used to manage Cisco routers and firewalls. Let me make a guess, it yours called "sdm.yourinternaldomain.com"? Could I try to launch an attack against it by sending email? Sure can...
9. Hacking ATMS - You do know Jack - [PaulDotCom] - Barnaby Jack does some really awesome research, primariy in embedded systems. This time he's targeting ATMs. His previous employer, Juniper networks, made him pull his talk on ATM security last year because the vendors complained. This year, he's just got a new job at IOActive and will deliver the talk, and talk about two different model ATMs from two different manufacturers and their software vulnerabilities. Jeff Moss is quoted as saying, "Apparently you can make all the money come out". Freaking sweet! And good for Barnaby Jack (BJ for short?) for leaving an doing whats right, rock on man!
