Group Policy Script Execution From Shared Resource
Description
This is a general-purpose module for exploiting systems with Windows Group Policy configured to load VBS startup/logon scripts from remote locations. This module runs a SMB shared resource that will provide a payload through a VBS file. Startup scripts will be executed with SYSTEM privileges, while logon scripts will be executed with the user privileges. Have into account which the attacker still needs to redirect the target traffic to the fake SMB share to exploit it successfully. Please note in some cases, it will take 5 to 10 minutes to receive a session.

- 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.
