HashiCorp Nomad Remote Command Execution

Description

Create a batch job on HashiCorp's Nomad service to spawn a shell. The default option is to use the 'raw_exec' driver, which runs with high privileges. Development servers and client's explicitly enabling the 'raw_exec' plugin can spawn these type of jobs. Regular 'exec' jobs can be created in a similar fashion at a lower privilege level.

Module Options

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

msf > use exploit/multi/misc/nomad_exec
msf exploit(nomad_exec) > show targets
    ...targets...
msf exploit(nomad_exec) > set TARGET < target-id >
msf exploit(nomad_exec) > show options
    ...show and set options...
msf exploit(nomad_exec) > exploit

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.
