Multi Gather Firefox Signon Credential Collection

Created
05/30/2018

Description

This module will collect credentials from the Firefox web browser if it is installed on the targeted machine. Additionally, cookies are downloaded. Which could potentially yield valid web sessions. Firefox stores passwords within the signons.sqlite database file. There is also a keys3.db file which contains the key for decrypting these passwords. In cases where a Master Password has not been set, the passwords can easily be decrypted using 3rd party tools or by setting the DECRYPT option to true. Using the latter often needs root privileges. Also be warned that if your session dies in the middle of the file renaming process, this could leave Firefox in a non working state. If a Master Password was used the only option would be to bruteforce. Useful 3rd party tools: + firefox_decrypt (https://github.com/Unode/firefox_decrypt) + pswRecovery4Moz (https://github.com/philsmd/pswRecovery4Moz)

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

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.
