# Escaping from KIOSKs

## Check for possible actions inside the GUI application

**Common Dialogs** are those options of **saving a file**, **opening a file**, selecting a font, a color... Most of them will **offer a full Explorer functionality**. This means that you will be able to access Explorer functionalities if you can access these options:

* Close/Close as
* Open/Open with
* Print
* Export/Import
* Search
* Scan

You should check if you can:

* Modify or create new files
* Create symbolic links
* Get access to restricted areas
* Execute other apps

### Command Execution

Maybe **using a** _**Open with**_ **option** you can open/execute some kind of shell.

#### Windows

For example _cmd.exe, command.com, Powershell/Powershell ISE, mmc.exe, at.exe, taskschd.msc..._ find more binaries that can be used to execute commands \(and perform unexpected actions\) here: [https://lolbas-project.github.io/](https://lolbas-project.github.io/)

#### \*NIX __

_bash, sh, zsh..._ More here: [https://gtfobins.github.io/](https://gtfobins.github.io/)

## Windows

### Bypassing path restrictions

* **Environment variables**: There are a lot of environment variables that are pointing to some path
* **Other protocols**: _about:, data:, ftp:, file:, mailto:, news:, res:, telnet:, view-source:_
* **Symbolic links**
* **Shortcuts**: CTRL+N \(open new session\), CTRL+R \(Execute Commands\), CTRL+SHIFT+ESC \(Task Manager\),  Windows+E \(open explorer\), CTRL-B, CTRL-I \(Favourites\), CTRL-H \(History\), CTRL-L, CTRL-O \(File/Open Dialog\), CTRL-P \(Print Dialog\), CTRL-S \(Save As\)
  * Hidden Administrative menu: CTRL-ALT-F8, CTRL-ESC-F9
* **Shell URIs**: _shell:Administrative Tools, shell:DocumentsLibrary, shell:Librariesshell:UserProfiles, shell:Personal, shell:SearchHomeFolder, shell:Systemshell:NetworkPlacesFolder, shell:SendTo, shell:UsersProfiles, shell:Common Administrative Tools, shell:MyComputerFolder, shell:InternetFolder_
* **UNC paths**: Paths to connect to shared folders. You should try to connect to the C$ of the local machine \("\\127.0.0.1\c$\Windows\System32"\)
  * **More UNC paths:**

| UNC | UNC | UNC |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| %ALLUSERSPROFILE% | %APPDATA% | %CommonProgramFiles% |
| %COMMONPROGRAMFILES\(x86\)% | %COMPUTERNAME% | %COMSPEC% |
| %HOMEDRIVE% | %HOMEPATH% | %LOCALAPPDATA% |
| %LOGONSERVER% | %PATH% | %PATHEXT% |
| %ProgramData% | %ProgramFiles% | %ProgramFiles\(x86\)% |
| %PROMPT% | %PSModulePath% | %Public% |
| %SYSTEMDRIVE% | %SYSTEMROOT% | %TEMP% |
| %TMP% | %USERDOMAIN% | %USERNAME% |
| %USERPROFILE% | %WINDIR% |  |
