This repo is to be used for educational purposes only, and is intended to be run against your own machine. We do not condone the use of these skills/techniques outside of this lab environment. DO NOT change any files or commands; run exactly as described in “Starting the Lab Environment".

Scenario

A local kitten daycare has recently suffered a zero-day exploit resulting in full system compromise via RCE (remote code execution). A digital forensics team investigating the incident has created a LAB environment meant to serve as a proof-of-concept for what happened. Can you replicate what happened that fateful day for the local kitten daycare?

Pre-Requisites

1. Docker Desktop – https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/
2. Git – https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git

Starting the Lab Environment

1. Open Docker Desktop
2. Run 'git clone https://github.com/sgwgsw/Rowdyhacks2022-CTF.git' in a terminal window.
3. Change to the Rowdyhacks2022-CTF folder and run 'docker compose up -d' with admin/sudo privileges. This is done on your local machine, not Docker Desktop.
4. Once the command has finished running, select 'Containers / Apps' in Docker Desktop to confirm all containers in the stack are running

Hints

1. To start a Docker CLI session, hover over the container in 'Containers / Apps' on Docker Desktop and click the 'CLI' button. DO NOT open CLI sessions by other means.
2. You will not need a CLI session on web_server (remember - this would be the victim's web server which we are trying to hack. An attacker wouldn't have access to this system).
3. Use 'ping -c 1 <container_hostname>' to get the IP of any container. Hostnames are: web_server, http_server, ldap_server, c2_instance, curl_instance
4. The web_server container is running a Tomcat web server instance 8080. Log4j 2.14.0 is in-use.
5. The curl_instance container will be useful for sending the exploit.
6. The c2_instance container has netcact.
7. The ldap_server container is hosting the reference object, 'Exploit'.
8. The http_server container is hosting compiled java code. This code wants to communicate on port 9999.

WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED

1. Close any CLI/terminal sessions
2. Click the stop button in 'Containers / Apps' on Docker Desktop
3. Run 'docker system prune -a' on the host machine, and press 'y' when prompted
4. Delete the cloned Log4j_LAB-Docker repo/folder on your machine
