Pivoting - Meterpreter
As seen in the above topology, the device that has two NICs has access to the both 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.10.0/24 networks. Under normal circumstances there is no access between these two networks -unless a routing rule is defined. According to this structure, the authorized user, who is using the computer with two NIC cards, has to access some services in the DMZ.
Compromise First Pivot and Port Forwarding
According to our attack scenario, meterpreter shell obtained in the system named as RD is also connected to the DMZ network. Later, it is determined that the target has two NICs with the information gathering process.
Note: The router in the environment does not route between networks.

According to our scenario, the attacker who gains access to the RD system will want to access the network with the second NIC (7.7.7.0/24). The attacker must first define the routing rule on RD to do this operation.
It is quite easy to do this with Metasploit. The following command can be used to create the routing rule via the current meterpreter session.
meterpreter > run autoroute -s 7.7.7.0/24

After this step, the IP addresses of the JC system is detected using post modules such as arp_scanner. JC is another computer found in hidden network -7.7.7.20-

IP addresses of live systems in 7.7.7.0/24 network, including JC named system, have been determined.
Naturally, the following question will come to mind; Post modules such as arp_scanner may be insufficient for such scanning work, can nmap style scanning tools be used?
Nmap via Pivoting
In order to do this, the routing configuration must be active on Metasploit, and this configuration must also be able to be forwarded via socks4 proxy. There is another metasploit module that also meets this need.
Use of socks4 proxy as metasploit module:

Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is one of the basic steps of pivoting. Direct access to certain services running on discovered systems on the hidden network may not be available (web servers, etc.). This is because there is no double sided routing. We know how to reach the target system and make a request, but our requests will fail because the target does not know how to reach us.
For this reason, we route a port on our own system to the destination via the defined meterpreter session. The routing will work as long as this process is alive.
There is one important point to be noted at this point, the routing we provide with the run autoroute command gives us the freedom to work in the Metasploit Framework. But when we try to reach the target with a Kali tools, we need tools like port forwarding or proxychains.
Port forwarding can be done with portfwd module which is one of the post modules of Metasploit.
meterpreter > portfwd -h
Usage: portfwd [-h] [add | delete | list | flush] [args]
OPTIONS:
-L <opt> Forward: local host to listen on (optional). Remote: local host to connect to.
-R Indicates a reverse port forward.
-h Help banner.
-i <opt> Index of the port forward entry to interact with (see the "list" command).
-l <opt> Forward: local port to listen on. Reverse: local port to connect to.
-p <opt> Forward: remote port to connect to. Reverse: remote port to listen on.
-r <opt> Forward: remote host to connect to.
meterpreter >
When we send a link request to our local 2323 port on our internet browser, this connection request will be forwarded to port 80 of the computer with IP address 7.7.7.20.
Previously, it was determined that a web service was running on the 80th TCP port of the 7.7.7.20,thanks to ProxyChains and Nmap. In order to access this service, the port 2323 of the local system should be routed to port 80 of 7.7.7.20 which we want to access.
meterpreter > portfwd add -L 172.16.0.20 -l 2323 -p 80 -r 7.7.7.20
[*] Local TCP relay created: 172.16.0.20:2323 <-> 7.7.7.20:80

When the application running on port 80 of the target system with IP address 7.7.7.20 is checked, it will be detected as Eash File Sharing Web Server.
SSH Brute-Force over Pivoting
As you know, a SSH service was detected on 7.7.7.20. Performing a brute-force attack on this service is quite simple.
The SSH_enumusers auxiliary module allows user detection:
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/ssh/ssh_enumusers

Gaining Access to the Second Pivot
If you remember, there were two vulnerabilities in our nmap scan on the 7.7.7.0/24 network range. These weaknesses were MS08-067 and BoF vulnerability in Easy File Share application. Access to the target system can be achieved in both ways. Another option is to continue with the SSH access, but we will continue through MS08-067 and Easy File Share.
MS08-067 with Bind TCP
The module with the full path exploit/windows/smb/ms08_067_netapi available in the Metasploit Framework can be used to compromise the target system via MS08-067 vulnerability. The important point here is that bind_tcp is selected as the payload type. Since the double-sided routing is not defined, the target system will not be able to directly reach us. For this reason, it is necessary to select the Bind TCP payload type so that the target should wait for a connection on its own port. After the successful exploit operation, the connection to the port where the target system is listening will be performed.
How Reverse TCP and Bind TCP connections work can be examined through the following visuals.met
Setting up the MS08-067-Netapi exploit module with the Bind TCP payload and compromise the target:

In the last case, the point where the attacker comes is as below:
Since we’ve got an access to the 7.7.7.20 machine. We need to perform information gathering again. JC named machine have two NIC like RD machine. That means we’ve found our second hidden network (8.8.8.0/24).

8.8.8.0 255.255.255.0 Session 3
And we are adding routing definition again. We will talk about that in next chapter.
Double Pivoting
8.8.8.0/24 network was discovered in the information gathering process for the JC system. We already have a routing rule between 172.16.0.0/24 and 7.7.7.0/24 networks via the first compromised machine.
In the present case, network packages that comes from 172.16.0.20 to access the JC device (second compromised machine) first go to the RD device (first compromised machine), and the RD transmits those packages to the JC machine.
If the attacker who is 172.16.0.20 wishes to access 8.8.8.0/24 -newly discovered second hidden network– network, a new routing rule must be defined. In the tools we will use outside the Metasploit Framework, we must run a new socks4 proxy server to connect these two pivots and define the new proxy server in the configuration file of the proxychains tool.
Network packages attempting to reach the 8.8.8.9 destination from the attacker machine (172.16.0.20) will pass through two different points:
RD: I do not know how to access the 8.8.8.9 IP address. But I know the system who knows how to access it. I can direct you to it. JC: I know how to forward packets from the 7.7.7.0/24 network to the 8.8.8.0/24 network. The final state of the compromised and discovered systems is as follows.
Holy Proxychains
The ProxyChains tool connects the proxy servers and transmits the connection end to end. In the last phase, a new socks4 proxy server is run on the local 1081 port for the newly discovered 8.8.8.0/24 network.

In Conclusion
The attacker discovered 2 different secret networks by following the steps below.
- Attacked got an access to the RD machine which was on same network with attacker.
- And then he realise that RD machine has 2 network interface.
- He defined an routing rule by using autoroute post module.
- And then attacker performed ARP and NMAP scanning on 7.7.7.0/24 network and found machine named as JC.
- JC had a two different vulnerability. Easy File Share and MS08-067.
- Successfully exploitation of MS08-067 allowed attacker to gain an access to the 7.7.7.20
- Information gathering showed JC also have 2 network interface.
- Another routing rule defined on 7.7.7.20.
- ARP and NMAP was used on 8.8.8.0/24.
- Vulnerable vsftp was running on 8.8.8.9 machine named as SK.
- Final.
While the attacker’s system could only gain access to the first network he was on, he could also gain access to 2 hidden networks as a result of the attacks.
