This module exploits a command-injection vulnerability in Microsoft Host Integration Server 2006.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/admin/ms/ms08_059_his2006
msf auxiliary(ms08_059_his2006) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(ms08_059_his2006) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(ms08_059_his2006) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(ms08_059_his2006) > run
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.
