Regsvr32.exe (.sct) Command Delivery Server
Description
This module uses the Regsvr32.exe Application Whitelisting Bypass technique as a way to run a command on a target system. The major advantage of this technique is that you can execute a static command on the target system and dynamically and remotely change the command that will actually run (by changing the value of CMD). This is useful when combined with persistence methods (e.g., a recurring scheduled task) or when flexibility is needed through the use of a single command (e.g., as Rubber Ducky payload).

- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
