Description

This module exploits a weak password vulnerability in the Lyris ListManager MSDE install. During installation, the 'sa' account password is set to 'lminstall'. Once the install completes, it is set to 'lyris' followed by the process ID of the installer. This module brute forces all possible process IDs that would be used by the installer.

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 exploit/windows/mssql/lyris_listmanager_weak_pass
msf exploit(lyris_listmanager_weak_pass) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(lyris_listmanager_weak_pass) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(lyris_listmanager_weak_pass) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(lyris_listmanager_weak_pass) > exploit

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.
