Windows Outbound-Filtering Rules

Created

Description

This module makes some kind of TCP traceroute to get outbound-filtering rules. It will try to make a TCP connection to a certain public IP address (this IP does not need to be under your control) using different TTL incremental values. This way if you get an answer (ICMP TTL time exceeded packet) from a public IP device you can infer that the destination port is allowed. Setting STOP to true the module will stop as soon as you reach a public IP (this will generate less noise in the network).

Module Options

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

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.
