Running SQL Injection Exploits With K2HackBot

Run Sample SQL Injection Exploits with K2HackBot.

Overview

This script runs SQL Injection top vulnerabilities and it gets detected by K2 Platform seamlessly. This script will install K2HackBot and run SQL Injection exploits.

Working

The run_mysql.sh performs the following operations:

1. Start the application Docker container

Firstly, the script will run the Docker container of the application. The application Docker image used is k2cyber/ic-test-application:sql-injection. This is a Java based application that includes SQL-Injection vulnerabilities.

If the k2agent is already present on the machine, the application will be attached STATICALLY. On the other hand, if the k2agent is not present on the machine, the application will be attached DYNAMICALLY.

2. Install K2HackBot

Once the application is started successfully, the script will try to install the latest K2HackBot on the same machine. The installation directory for K2HackBot is /tmp.

If the K2HackBot package is already present inside the /tmp directory, then the script will skip the installation and use the existing K2HackBot.

3. Trigger K2HackBot

The script will create the K2HackBot config file dynamically and trigger the K2HackBot.

The K2HackBot is started in the scan-web-application mode. Once the scanning is over, all the exploits will be reported by the K2HackBot.

Ideally, it should report 5 Vulnerabilities.

Mysql Exploits Script

Copy the following run_mysql.sh file anywhere on the Linux machine or you can find script in demo_exploits folder of your installation.

Options

Option
Description

--k2email

Provide the registered K2 email. The default value is set to installer@k2io.com.

--k2password

Provide the password corresponding to the registered K2 email.

--k2hackbot-bundle-url

Provide the K2HackBot Bundle URL.

--k2collector-path

The directory path where you want all the K2 related stuff to be downloaded.

Commands

Note: Before running the below commands, make sure that you are present inside the directory where the run_mysql.sh script is present.

  • Command to display the help page:

$ bash run_mysql.sh  --help

Usage: bash runscript_mysql.sh k2-hackbot-test --options [VALUE]

Options:
  k2-email               K2Cloud User Account Email
  k2-password            K2Cloud User Account Password
  k2hackbot-bundle-url   K2HackBot bundle URL
  k2collector-path       Path that contains K2agent collectors

  • Run the script when k2agent is NOT present on the machine:

bash run_mysql.sh --mode k2-hackbot-test

  • Run the script when k2agent is present on the machine:

In this case, make sure to pass the k2-email and the k2-password options. Use the same k2-email which was used while installing the k2agent on the machine.

bash run_mysql.sh --mode k2-hackbot-test --k2-email example@k2io.com --k2-password mypassword

  • Upgrade/Downgrade the K2HackBot Bundle:

The script provides the support to install a specific version of the K2HackBot if required. For this purpose, use the k2hackbot-bundle-url option.

bash run_mysql.sh --mode k2-hackbot-test --k2hackbot-bundle-url=<NEW_HACKBOT_VERSION_URL>
