Description

The Moxa protocol listens on 4800/UDP and will respond to broadcast or direct traffic. The service is known to be used on Moxa devices in the NPort, OnCell, and MGate product lines. Many devices with firmware versions older than 2017 or late 2016 allow admin credentials and SNMP read and read/write community strings to be retrieved without authentication. This module is the work of Patrick DeSantis of Cisco Talos and K. Reid Wightman. Tested on: Moxa NPort 6250 firmware v1.13, MGate MB3170 firmware 2.5, and NPort 5110 firmware 2.6.

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.
