# Magic

## Enumeration

As always, let's start with an `nmap`:

```
$ sudo nmap -sS -n -p- -sV -sC -oN depth.nmp 10.10.10.185

PORT   STATE SERVICE VERSION
22/tcp open  ssh     OpenSSH 7.6p1 Ubuntu 4ubuntu0.3 (Ubuntu Linux; protocol 2.0)
| ssh-hostkey: 
|   2048 06:d4:89:bf:51:f7:fc:0c:f9:08:5e:97:63:64:8d:ca (RSA)
|   256 11:a6:92:98:ce:35:40:c7:29:09:4f:6c:2d:74:aa:66 (ECDSA)
|_  256 71:05:99:1f:a8:1b:14:d6:03:85:53:f8:78:8e:cb:88 (ED25519)
80/tcp open  http    Apache httpd 2.4.29 ((Ubuntu))
|_http-server-header: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
|_http-title: Magic Portfolio
Service Info: OS: Linux; CPE: cpe:/o:linux:linux_kernel
```

Only ports `22` and `80`. Add `magic.htb` to your `/etc/hosts` and let's check out the website.

### HTTP

There's definitely a lot going on. By analysing the source we can see some images are in the `images/uploads/` folder, which is useful for later. Let's click the `Login` button at the bottom left.

![](/files/-MPAfwJu3oFpy8eWGK7g)

First thing's first, let's try the default `admin:admin`. We get told it's invalid.

Now we can mess with the input to test for SQL injection. Tampering with a payload such as `'<>:32;4#::!@$":'` doesn't tell us it's invalid; perhaps it's having an affect?

If we try a basic payload such as `admin'#`, what happens? The logic here is it logs in with the username `admin` and comments out the password check to always successfully log us in, essentially making it

```sql
SELECT * FROM users WHERE username = 'admin'#' AND PASSWORD = ''
```

Success!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ir0nstone.gitbook.io/notes/writeups/hack-the-box/linux-machines/medium/magic.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
