111/TCP/UDP - Pentesting Portmapper

Support HackTricks

Basic Information

Portmapper ni huduma inayotumika kwa ajili ya kuunganisha bandari za huduma za mtandao na RPC (Remote Procedure Call) nambari za programu. Inafanya kazi kama sehemu muhimu katika sistimu za Unix, ikirahisisha ubadilishanaji wa taarifa kati ya hizi sistimu. Bandari inayohusishwa na Portmapper mara nyingi inachunguzwa na washambuliaji kwani inaweza kufichua taarifa muhimu. Taarifa hizi zinajumuisha aina ya Unix Operating System (OS) inayotumika na maelezo kuhusu huduma zinazopatikana kwenye mfumo. Zaidi ya hayo, Portmapper hutumiwa mara nyingi pamoja na NFS (Network File System), NIS (Network Information Service), na huduma nyingine za RPC ili kusimamia huduma za mtandao kwa ufanisi.

Bandari ya kawaida: 111/TCP/UDP, 32771 katika Oracle Solaris

Uhesabuzi

nmap -sSUC -p111 192.168.10.1

Sometimes it doesn't give you any information, in other occasions you will get something like this:

RPCBind + NFS

If you find the service NFS then probably you will be able to list and download(and maybe upload) files:

NIS

Exploring NIS vulnerabilities involves a two-step process, starting with the identification of the service ypbind. The cornerstone of this exploration is uncovering the NIS domain name, without which progress is halted.

The exploration journey begins with the installation of necessary packages (apt-get install nis). The subsequent step requires using ypwhich to confirm the NIS server's presence by pinging it with the domain name and server IP, ensuring these elements are anonymized for security.

The final and crucial step involves the ypcat command to extract sensitive data, particularly encrypted user passwords. These hashes, once cracked using tools like John the Ripper, reveal insights into system access and privileges.

# Install NIS tools
apt-get install nis
# Ping the NIS server to confirm its presence
ypwhich -d <domain-name> <server-ip>
# Extract user credentials
ypcat –d <domain-name> –h <server-ip> passwd.byname

RPC Users

If you find the rusersd service listed like this:

You could enumerate users of the box. To learn how read 1026 - Pentesting Rsusersd.

Bypass Filtered Portmapper port

When conducting a nmap scan and discovering open NFS ports with port 111 being filtered, direct exploitation of these ports is not feasible. However, by simulating a portmapper service locally and creating a tunnel from your machine to the target, exploitation becomes possible using standard tools. This technique allows for bypassing the filtered state of port 111, thus enabling access to NFS services. For detailed guidance on this method, refer to the article available at this link.

Name: Notes
Description: Notes for PortMapper
Note: |
Portmapper is a service that is utilized for mapping network service ports to RPC (Remote Procedure Call) program numbers. It acts as a critical component in Unix-based systems, facilitating the exchange of information between these systems. The port associated with Portmapper is frequently scanned by attackers as it can reveal valuable information. This information includes the type of Unix Operating System (OS) running and details about the services that are available on the system. Additionally, Portmapper is commonly used in conjunction with NFS (Network File System), NIS (Network Information Service), and other RPC-based services to manage network services effectively.
