Description

This module performs a Denial of Service Attack against the ISC DHCP server, versions 4.1 before 4.1.1-P1 and 4.0 before 4.0.2-P1. It sends out a DHCP Request message with a 0-length client_id option for an IP address on the appropriate range for the dhcp server. When ISC DHCP Server tries to hash this value it exits abnormally.

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.
