Wowza, a new credential gatherer and login scanner!

This week Metasploit Framework gained a credential gatherer for Wowza Streaming Engine Manager. Credentials for this application are stored in a file named admin.password in a known location and the file is readable by default by BUILTIN\Users on Windows and is world readable on Linux.. The module was written by community contributor bcoles who also wrote a login scanner for Wowza this week. The login scanner can be used to validate the credentials found by the gatherer. The two modules complement each other quite nicely.

Enhancements and features (9)

  • #17675 from adfoster-r7 - Updates the admin/kerberos/forge_ticket to support a new extra_sids option which can be useful for including cross-domain SIDs for forging external Kerberos trust tickets as part of cross-trust domain escalation. The admin/kerberos/inspect_ticket has also been updated to support viewing these extra SID values.
  • #17686 from zeroSteiner - This adds 3 additional methods to the existing PetitPotam module to make it work even if the patch for CVE-2021-36942 has been installed. Note that it won't work after the December 2021 patch.
  • #17715 from zeroSteiner - The Metasploit Payload gem has been bumped to 2.0.115, bringing in support for the arp command to Python Meterpreter on Linux, and adding support for displaying IPv6 routing tables using the route command on Windows.
  • #17727 from rohitkumarankam - Two new options have been added to the login scanner library: max_consecutive_error_count and max_error_count. These options allow users to set the maximum number of errors that are allowed to occur when connecting as well as the maximum number of consecutive errors that are allowed when connecting before the login scanner will give up on a target.
  • #17744 from adfoster-r7 - The code for msfconsole has been updated so that performance profiling can also take into account the time it takes to load msfenv and console related libraries, thereby allowing for more accurate performance profiling.
  • #17745 from gwillcox-r7 - This updates the metasploit-payloads gem to pull in changes to the Python Meterpreter on Windows to add the route add and route delete commands as well as the ability to get process information such as process names and paths.
  • #17746 from todb-r7 - The data/wordlists/password.lst password list has been updated to include the master password that LastPass suggests as an example when a user goes to create a new master password, r50$K28vaIFiYxaY, into the password list, as well as to fix some encoding issues.
  • #17749 from adfoster-r7 - Updates the auxiliary/admin/kerberos/keytab.rb module to additionally export any NTHASHES, which can be useful for decrypting Kerberos network traffic in Wireshark.
  • #17756 from adfoster-r7 - Updates secrets dump to generate the Kerberos RC4 key for the machine account.

Bugs fixed (8)

  • #17673 from bcoles - lib/msf/core/payload/apk.rb has been updated so that by default it only decompiles the main classes instead of all classes, fixing some issues whereby decompiling all classes would prevent creation of a backdoored APK. This also bumps up the minimum apktool version to 2.4.1 and makes it so that versions prior to 2.7.0 of apktool will throw a warning about being potentially out of date.
  • #17716 from zeroSteiner - A bug has been fixed whereby the reverse port forward information message was displayed incorrectly, and the same information was shown on both the local and remote parts of the message.
  • #17721 from zeroSteiner - This fixes an issue where payloads that were adapted failed when stage encoding was enabled because the stage encoding was based on the stager arch and platform values. These values were always the same until we introduced adapted payloads, which can vary.
  • #17723 from jvoisin - A bug has been fixed in the modules/encoders/php/base64.rb encoder whereby strings were being passed as literal strings without being properly quoted, which could result in errors on newer versions of PHP.
  • #17726 from zeroSteiner - The Metasploit Payloads gem has been updated bringing in initial support for attaching to processes on Python Meterpreter shells on Windows, a bug fix for the route command on newer versions of Windows on Windows Meterpreter, and a fix so that both C Meterpreter and Python Meterpreter sessions will attempt to enable the same set of permissions when running getprivs.
  • #17729 from bcoles - Fixes an edge case crash when running Ruby 3.2
  • #17738 from adfoster-r7 - Fix Ruby 3.2 crash when running certain tools
  • #17758 from zeroSteiner - The metasploit-payloads gem has been bumped to fix a token handle leak that was causing Python Meterpreters to leave dangling handles after using getprivs, fix a error in packet_transmit_http whereby error codes were not appropriately returned, and update the arp command to properly return the interface name instead of the index for the interface column.

Documentation added (3)

  • #17684 from adfoster-r7 - This PR adds the RBCD exploitation documentation to the docs site.
  • #17688 from adfoster-r7 - This PR fixes several broken wiki links, as well as adding validation to users users don't use the wrong syntax when making docs changes.
  • #17743 from adfoster-r7 - A new page has been added to explain the METASPLOIT_CPU_PROFILE and METASPLOIT_MEMORY_PROFILE options and to explain how to profile msfconsole's and msfvenom's performance on systems.
