Sicurezza WordPress – Penetration test con Kali Linux

Posted on By chitblog 1 commento su Sicurezza WordPress – Penetration test con Kali Linux

Guida in italiano sul come testare la sicurezza del proprio sito/server effettuando dei penetration test con Kali Linux.

Cos’è Kali Linux

Kali Linux è una distribuzione Linux per “penetration testers” e ethical hackers. Kali Linux, il successore di BackTrack Linux, è basato su Debian e viene fornito con tutti i programmi per testare la sicurezza ed effettuare dei penetration test preinstallati e preconfigurati.

Se si clicca in alto a sinistra su “Applications” appare un menu con tutti programmi che servono per testare la sicurezza in generale (la sicurezza di reti senza fili, siti, password eccetera) e nel menu numero 3, “Web Application Analysis”, ci sono tutti i programmi più conosciti per testare la sicurezza del proprio sito/server come per esempio wpscan e owasp-zap.

Per scaricare Kali Linux cliccare sul seguente link: Kali Linux ISO Download.

Testare la sicurezza di WordPress con WPScan

WPScan è un programma usato per rilevare vulnerabilità in siti WordPress e testare la sicurezza. Con WPScan è possibile scoprire quali plugins sono installati in modo da poterli “exploitare” se non sono aggiornati, si può scoprire il nome dell’amministratore del blog per poi tentare di “crackare” la password con un attacco “brute force”, si può scoprire il tema WordPress o/e la versione di WordPress in uso per poi cercare degli “exploits” e molto altro.

Ecco un semplice esempio:

:~ # wpscan --url https://christeninformatica.ch

Scan Aborted: The remote website is up, but does not seem to be running WordPress.
:~ #

Provando a testare il mio sito ho ricevuto un errore: “Scan Aborted: The remote website is up, but does not seem to be running WordPress“. Per vari motivi può essere che il sito sia WordPress ma risulti come se non lo sia. Se si dovesse essere sicuri – o per andare sul sicuro – che il sito in questione utilizzi WordPress, usare l’opzione –force che “forza” ad effettuare la scansione senza controllare se il sito è WordPress. 

# wpscan --force --url https://christeninformatica.ch

Da come si può vedere dal risultato di questa prima “scansione” abbiamo un grave problema: WPScan a rilevato la versione di WordPress in uso. Per risolvere questo problema ho bloccato l’accesso a “christeninformatica.ch/feed” e disabilitato gli RSS Feed. Se si effettua un nuovo test per vedere se le modifiche apportate hanno avuto successo e si nota che WPScan usa altri metodi per determinare la versione di WordPress, scoprire come impedirlo e testare di nuovo.

Con l’opzione “–enumerate” u (users) si controlla se informazioni come il nome dell’amministratore e di altri utenti, sono protette o meno. E anche qui WPScan ha rilevato un problema, ha scoperto il nome dell’amministratore e di un altro utente. Un malintenzionato potrebbe ora provare a crackare la password e ottenere diritti d’amministratore sul sito WordPress. Per risolvere questo problema disabilitare Wp Json Api e configurare il tema WordPress in uso in modo da non mostrare l’autore.

Disabilitare le Rest API in WordPress con Ithemes Security

Per disabilitare WP Json API andare nella sezione “WordPress Tweaks” di Ithemes Security e poi in REST API scegliere “Restricted Access”.

Enumerate p serve per vedere i plugin installati. La soluzione è nascondere le traccie dei plugin dal codice HTML, cambiare il nome della cartella wp-content, usarne il meno possibile e aggiornarli regolarmente.

Da questo esempio si nota l'importanza di non usare temi troppo popolari e se si usano, di aggiornarli il più spesso possibile.

Testare la sicurezza del proprio sito/sever con Owasp ZAP

Owasp ZAP è un programma per testare la sicurezza del proprio server/sito. È semplice da usare basta inserire la URL della propria pagina nel campo “URL to attack” e cliccare su Attack.

Una volta finito controllare sotto “Avvisi” per vedere che falle della sicurezza sono state trovate, fare ricerche sul come risolvere i problemi e poi rimediare.
