Xymon Daemon Gather Information

Created

Description

This module retrieves information from a Xymon daemon service (formerly Hobbit, based on Big Brother), including server configuration information, a list of monitored hosts, and associated client log for each host. This module also retrieves usernames and password hashes from the `xymonpasswd` config file from Xymon servers before 4.3.25, which permit download arbitrary config files (CVE-2016-2055), and servers configured with `ALLOWALLCONFIGFILES` enabled.

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.
