Host Information Enumeration via NTLM Authentication

Created
05/30/2018

Description

This module makes requests to resources on the target server in an attempt to find resources which permit NTLM authentication. For resources which permit NTLM authentication, a blank NTLM type 1 message is sent to enumerate a type 2 message from the target server. The type 2 message is then parsed for information such as the Active Directory domain and NetBIOS name. A single URI can be specified with TARGET_URI and/or a file of URIs can be specified with TARGET_URIS_FILE (default).

Module Options

To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':

msf > use auxiliary/scanner/http/ntlm_info_enumeration
msf auxiliary(ntlm_info_enumeration) > show actions
    ...actions...
msf auxiliary(ntlm_info_enumeration) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(ntlm_info_enumeration) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(ntlm_info_enumeration) > 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.
