Hardware Bridge Session Connector

Created

Description

The Hardware Bridge (HWBridge) is a standardized method for Metasploit to interact with Hardware Devices. This extends the normal exploit capabilities to the non-ethernet realm and enables direct hardware and alternative bus manipulations. You must have compatible bridging hardware attached to this machine or reachable on your network to use any HWBridge exploits. Use this exploit module to connect the physical HWBridge which will start an interactive hwbridge session. You can launch a hwbridge server locally by using compliant hardware and executing the local_hwbridge module. After that module has started, pass the HWBRIDGE_BASE_URL options to this connector module.

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.
