# 110,995 - Pentesting POP

{{#include ../banners/hacktricks-training.md}}

## Osnovne informacije

**Post Office Protocol (POP)** se opisuje kao protokol unutar oblasti računarskih mreža i Interneta, koji se koristi za ekstrakciju i **preuzimanje email-a sa udaljenog mail servera**, čineći ga dostupnim na lokalnom uređaju. Pozicioniran unutar aplikativnog sloja OSI modela, ovaj protokol omogućava korisnicima da preuzmu i prime email. Rad **POP klijenata** obično uključuje uspostavljanje veze sa mail serverom, preuzimanje svih poruka, čuvanje ovih poruka lokalno na klijentskom sistemu, i potom njihovo uklanjanje sa servera. Iako postoje tri iteracije ovog protokola, **POP3** se izdvaja kao najčešće korišćena verzija.

**Podrazumevani portovi:** 110, 995(ssl)
```
PORT    STATE SERVICE
110/tcp open  pop3
```
## Enumeration

### Banner Grabbing
```bash
nc -nv <IP> 110
openssl s_client -connect <IP>:995 -crlf -quiet
```
## Ručno

Možete koristiti komandu `CAPA` da dobijete mogućnosti POP3 servera.

## Automatizovano
```bash
nmap --script "pop3-capabilities or pop3-ntlm-info" -sV -port <PORT> <IP> #All are default scripts
```
Plugin `pop3-ntlm-info` će vratiti neke "**osetljive**" podatke (Windows verzije).

## POP sintaksa

Primeri POP komandi iz [ovde](http://sunnyoasis.com/services/emailviatelnet.html)
```bash
POP commands:
USER uid           Log in as "uid"
PASS password      Substitue "password" for your actual password
STAT               List number of messages, total mailbox size
LIST               List messages and sizes
RETR n             Show message n
DELE n             Mark message n for deletion
RSET               Undo any changes
QUIT               Logout (expunges messages if no RSET)
TOP msg n          Show first n lines of message number msg
CAPA               Get capabilities
```

## Beleženje Lozinki

POP serveri sa podešavanjem **`auth_debug`** omogućavaju povećano generisanje logova. Međutim, ako su **`auth_debug_passwords`** ili **`auth_verbose_passwords`** postavljeni na **`true`**, lozinke bi takođe mogle biti beležene u čistom tekstu u tim logovima.

Description: Notes for POP
Note: |
Post Office Protocol (POP) is described as a protocol within the realm of computer networking and the Internet, which is utilized for the extraction and retrieval of email from a remote mail server**, making it accessible on the local device. Positioned within the application layer of the OSI model, this protocol enables users to fetch and receive email. The operation of POP clients typically involves establishing a connection to the mail server, downloading all messages, storing these messages locally on the client system, and subsequently removing them from the server. Although there are three iterations of this protocol, POP3 stands out as the most prevalently employed version.
