VMware vCenter Secrets Dump
Description
Grab secrets and keys from the vCenter server and add them to loot. This module is tested against the vCenter appliance only; it will not work on Windows vCenter instances. It is intended to be run after successfully acquiring root access on a vCenter appliance and is useful for penetrating further into the environment following a vCenter exploit that results in a root shell. Secrets include the dcAccountDN and dcAccountPassword for the vCenter machine which can be used for maniuplating the SSO domain via standard LDAP interface; good for plugging into the vmware_vcenter_vmdir_ldap module or for adding new SSO admin users. The MACHINE_SSL, VMCA_ROOT and SSO IdP certificates with associated private keys are also plundered and can be used to sign forged SAML assertions for the /ui admin interface.

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.
