Weekly Metasploit Wrapup

Powershell? In my Meterpreter? It's more likely than you think! Hot on the heels of his fantastic Python extension, the legendary OJ Reeves has once again busted out an awesome new ability for post-exploitation, this time by putting a fully functional powershell inside your native Windows Meterpreter sessions. Unlike the Python extension, which uploads an embedded interpreter, the new powershell extension loads the .NET runtime from the victim system. There's a lot of polish and more work to b

Weekly Metasploit Wrapup

I'm not your mother, clean up after yourself. An old friend of mine, axis2deployer [https://www.rapid7.com/db/modules/exploit/multi/http/axis2_deployer], is a fun authenticated code execution [/2016/01/03/12-days-of-haxmas-authenticated-code-execution-by-design] module that takes advantage of Axis2's ability to deploy new applications on a web server. It used to be a messy friend, leaving its files all over the living room floor for you to clean up manually. As of #6457 [https://github.com/rapi

Weekly Metasploit Wrapup

Aaaaaand we're back! Last week was the first weekly update of the year and it comes with a super fun stuff. Tunneling The latest update allows you to tunnel reverse_tcp sessions over a compromised machine in a slightly less painful way. There is now a new datastore option, ReverseListenerComm, which lets you tell a meterpreter session tunnel connections back to your payload handler. Here's an example run to give you the idea: msf exploit(payload_inject) > show options Module options (e

Weekly Metasploit Wrapup

Python extension for Windows Meterpreter Meterpreter offers some pretty powerful post-exploitation capabilities, from filesystem manipulation to direct Windows API calls with railgun, and everything in between. One thing that's been missing for a long time is on-victim scripting. With this update comes an experimental Python extension to remedy that. It's still in its infancy, so expect some kinks to be worked out over the next few weeks, but it is functional. OJ [https://twitter.com/thecolonia

Weekly Metasploit Wrapup

One of the greatest things about Metasploit is that it supports lots of different protocols and technologies that you would otherwise need a huge menagerie of tools to be able to talk to, an ever-expanding bubble of interoperability that you didn't have to write. Due to some great ongoing work by Bigendian Smalls [https://twitter.com/bigendiansmalls], the bubble is getting even bigger, now encompassing shell sessions on mainframes. You can see the beginnings in #6013 [https://github.com/rapid7/m
