Ansible Playbook Error Message File Reader
Description
This module will read the first line of a file based on an error message from ansible-playbook with sudo privileges. ansible-playbook takes a yaml file as input, and if there is an error, such as a non-yaml file, it outputs the line where the error occurs. This can be exploited to read the first line of the file, which we'll typically want to read /etc/shadow to obtain root's hash.

Module Options
To display the available options, load the module within the Metasploit console and run the commands 'show options' or 'show advanced':
- Collect and share all the information you need to conduct a successful and efficient penetration test
- Simulate complex attacks against your systems and users
- Test your defenses to make sure they’re ready
- Automate Every Step of Your Penetration Test
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.
