Apple TV Video Remote Control

Created
05/30/2018

Description

This module plays a video on an AppleTV device. Note that AppleTV can be somewhat picky about the server that hosts the video. Tested servers include default IIS, default Apache, and Ruby's WEBrick. For WEBrick, the default MIME list may need to be updated, depending on what media file is to be played. Python SimpleHTTPServer is not recommended. Also, if you're playing a video, the URL must be an IP address. Some AppleTV devices are actually password-protected; in that case please set the PASSWORD datastore option. For password brute forcing, please see the module auxiliary/scanner/http/appletv_login.

Time is precious, so I don’t want to do something manually that I can automate. Leveraging the Metasploit Framework when automating any task keeps us from having to re-create the wheel as we can use the existing libraries and focus our efforts where it matters.
